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.
