Cactus tacos, hibiscus-glazed aubergine, and 30-plant power bowls—Wahaca’s seasonal menu is your ticket to edible sunshine.

While British weather can’t always be trusted, Wahaca’s new summer menu is here to serve guaranteed sunshine—one zesty bite at a time.

Launching just in time for the brighter months, Wahaca’s latest dishes are a celebration of fresh, sustainable ingredients with a Mexican twist. From griddled cactus tacos to vibrant plant-based sunshine bowls, this is your ultimate summer dining experience without the plane ticket to Oaxaca.

Summer Menu in London Just Got Spicier

At a time when Londoners are craving bold flavours and lighter bites, Wahaca has delivered a masterclass in seasonal eating. Whether you’re brunching in Shoreditch, picnicking in Hyde Park, or power-lunching in Soho, these dishes will transport you to sunnier places.

Let’s get into the good stuff, shall we?

Cactus Tacos: The Unexpected Star of the Summer Menu

Yes, cactus. But hear us out.

Wahaca’s Griddled Cactus & Courgette Tacos (£6.95) bring real bite. Courgette and cactus are griddled and roasted with fresh lime and a kiss of chilli. Finished with tangy cheese and crispy corn strips, they’re both satisfying and seriously snackable.

Cactus isn’t just trendy—it’s a Mexican staple, now bringing sustainable flair to your plate in central London.

Prawn Aguachile: Sunshine in a Lime-Soaked Bite

Looking for something zingy? The Prawn Aguachile (£8.95) is basically summer in a shellfish.

Marinated in lime and habanero chillies, this Sinaloan-style dish is served cold with avocado, salsa macha, and crisp tostadas. It’s the kind of starter that makes you feel like you’re on holiday—even if you’re just popping in post-commute.

Aubergine with Hibiscus? Now That’s a Summer Flex

If you fancy something substantial and shareable, go for the Hibiscus Glazed Aubergine (£15.95). This vegetarian main is roasted, charred, and smothered in a floral hibiscus salsa.

Add quinoa, creamy avocado, and homemade salsa macha and you’ve got yourself an umami-packed masterpiece. It’s plant-based dining, but make it sexy.

The Sunshine Bowls Are Basically Wellness in a Dish

Who said eating healthy means boring salads?

Wahaca’s new Sunshine Bowls (from £13.50) are packed with nearly 30 different plants. Yes, 30. That includes black beans, sauteed corn, avocado, quinoa, pickled cabbage, and even chiltatis (Google it, it’s a thing).

Topped with your choice of halloumi al pastor, garlic sweet potato, or free-range chicken, these bowls are your summer fuel—whether you’re picnicking or powering through a WFH lunch.

More Than Just Food: It’s a Whole London Lifestyle

Wahaca’s new offerings aren’t just about taste—they’re about ethically-sourced ingredients and sustainability, too.

Their produce comes from British suppliers, supporting local businesses while keeping things fresh and flavour-forward. You’re not just eating Mexican-inspired dishes—you’re supporting a London restaurant that actually cares about the planet.

Now that’s something to raise a taco to.

Where to Get the New Summer Menu in London

Wahaca has restaurants all over the city, including Covent Garden, Soho, Shoreditch, and White City. Whether you’re out with mates or on a solo sunshine mission, there’s a vibrant Wahaca spot near you.

Not ready to dine in? Grab a sunshine bowl to-go and pretend your desk lunch is a beachfront moment.

A Must-Try Summer Menu in London

So go on—ditch the sad desk salad and bring some Mexican sunshine to your plate.
