Wahaca was founded in 2007 by Thomasina Miers, the food writer and restaurateur who won BBC MasterChef in 2005. She co-founded the chain with business partner Mark Selby after being inspired by the street food markets of Mexico City. The first restaurant opened on Chandos Place, Covent Garden.

Wahaca offers takeaway from selected restaurants and is available on major delivery platforms including Deliveroo in some locations. Availability varies by branch — check the Wahaca website or app for your nearest location's options.

Wahaca draws its inspiration from the street food markets and taquerias of Mexico City rather than the Tex-Mex tradition. This means dishes like Pork Pibil (slow-cooked in achiote and citrus) and blue corn taquitos that would be at home in a Mexican mercado, rather than the cheese-heavy Tex-Mex style. The drinks programme also focuses on authentic 100% agave tequilas and artisan mezcals.

Wahaca is one of the UK's most sustainability-focused restaurant groups. It was the first UK restaurant chain to achieve B Corp certification and holds the Sustainable Restaurant Association's highest rating. The chain sources free-range pork, grass-fed beef, line-caught fish and seasonal British produce, and has committed to ongoing reduction of food waste and plastic use across all sites.
