Some of the best conversations happen around a table 🌮
We invited to chat about Day of the Dead through a core element of the celebration, food.
Food has the power to bring back and create memories. A smell, a flavour, a recipe passed down and suddenly someone is back at the table with us. We made the Jalapeño Green Goddess dressing to be shared, enjoyed and talked about, and that’s what Día de los Mu***os is all about 🧡💚

Ofrendas, the heart of Day of the Dead 🕯️
They are an alter of colour, meaning and memories, built to bridge the gap between the living and the spirit world.
With every element being there for a purpose, the ofrendas welcomes home our loved ones who have passed 🌼

Get into the Mexican spirit of things at Wahaca this Day of the Dead. It’s a vibrant celebration of life and an opportunity to remember the lives of the dearly departed. Our restaurants will be decked out with colourful altars inspired by Mexican ofrendas.
Come try out our new Tipsy Catrina cocktail, a floral twist on a margarita with hints of rose petals and pomegranate. Perfect to pair with our mouth-watering Lamb Birria Tacos and autumnal Riverford Organic Squash & Crumbled Feta Tostadas. Available until 6th November.

Summer at Wahaca never looked so good!
Our vibrant specials were inspired by none other than our co-founder, Thomasina Miers and can be found in her new book “Meat-Free Mexican”.
Our citrusy Habanero Corn on the Cob is the perfect addition to any summer spread. Be sure to make our cool, creamy, Burrata with Tomatillos and Tomatoes the centrepiece for your next Mexican feast.
