Wahaca Shoreditch is a bright Mexican restaurant at 140 Tabernacle Street, set within a converted fire station close to Old Street. A light filled upper floor, cosy lower bar and outdoor tables create several different spaces for lunch, dinner and drinks. The menu is designed around freshly prepared plates that are easy to share with friends.
Tacos include slow cooked pork pibil, grilled chicken, beef, plantain, ancho mushroom and halloumi with pineapple salsa. Buttermilk chicken and Baja fish bring crisp fillings to soft flour tortillas, while taquitos add a crunchy blue corn shell. Ordering several combinations lets the table move between citrus, chilli, smoky sauces, pickles and fresh salsa.
House nachos, quesadillas, tostadas and small vegetable plates extend the meal beyond tacos. Chipotle glazed aubergine, crispy cauliflower and a bowl packed with grains, beans, avocado and vegetables give meat free diners substantial choices. Group feasting menus gather favourites together, and separate vegan, gluten and children's menus make planning easier.
Margaritas are mixed with agave tequila, joined by mezcal drinks, spritzes, beer, wine and thoughtfully made alcohol free cocktails. Guests can dine in, collect a takeaway or arrange a larger event within the flexible building. Wahaca Shoreditch combines the colour and sociability of Mexican sharing food with an energetic but accessible East London setting.
