Comida callejera mexicana Southbank Londres

El "Wahaca Southbank" en Londres es un restaurante único que trae el vibrante mundo de la comida callejera mexicana a las orillas del río Támesis. Forma parte de la conocida cadena Wahaca, fundada por la ganadora de MasterChef, Thomasina Miers, que se especializa en servir platos frescos, auténticos y sostenibles. El restaurante en sí es un hito arquitectónico: está compuesto por ocho contenedores de envío reciclados, apilados en dos niveles, creando una estética moderna e industrial. Esta estructura inusual se encuentra justo al lado del Southbank Centre y ofrece una vista incomparable del Támesis, lo que lo convierte en un destino popular para locales y turistas. Además del restaurante, hay un camión de "Mexican Street Kitchen" que ofrece opciones para llevar, como burritos y ensaladas, para aquellos que están en movimiento o que desean disfrutar de la vista junto al río.

Platos mexicanos auténticos río Támesis

La atmósfera en el "Wahaca Southbank" es animada y desenfadada, caracterizada por una colorida mezcla de invitados: desde familias y asistentes al teatro hasta parejas que quieren disfrutar de una noche relajada. El interior es simple pero elegante, con acentos coloridos y un diseño abierto que pone el foco en la comida y la vista. La terraza al aire libre es especialmente destacada, donde se puede observar la actividad en el río con una bebida en la mano en días soleados. La música, a menudo una vibrante mezcla de sonidos latinoamericanos, contribuye al ambiente festivo. Es un lugar que invita tanto a compartir platos con amigos como a disfrutar de una comida rápida en solitario.

Restaurante sostenible junto al río

El menú está inspirado en los mercados de Oaxaca y ofrece una variedad de pequeños platos diseñados para compartir, un concepto que recuerda a las tapas mexicanas. Un verdadero destacado son los “Tacos de Cerdo Pibil”, que presentan cerdo desmenuzado a fuego lento con una salsa de habanero afrutada y cebollas encurtidas de color rosa; la combinación de especias y frescura es inigualable. También es muy popular el “Buttermilk Chicken”, pollo frito crujiente con una mayonesa de chipotle ahumada que tiene un agradable toque picante. Para los vegetarianos, hay opciones deliciosas como los “Taquitos de Batata”, pequeñas tortillas enrolladas con un relleno dulce y picante, que se acompañan con guacamole y semillas tostadas. La sostenibilidad es fundamental: muchos ingredientes provienen de fuentes locales, y el restaurante se enorgullece de ser neutro en carbono desde 2016.

Wahaca Southbank comida y bebida

La oferta de bebidas es igualmente impresionante y refleja el espíritu mexicano. Las margaritas, ya sean clásicas con lima o en versiones afrutadas como hibisco, son un favorito del público y se preparan frescas. Para aquellos que no consumen alcohol, hay una selección creativa de cócteles sin alcohol que reciben la misma atención. Acompañan a esto bebidas tradicionales mexicanas como horchata o una cerveza fría, que complementan perfectamente la comida.

Atmósfera vibrante en Londres

El servicio es amable y atento, aunque puede volverse un poco caótico durante las horas pico, especialmente los fines de semana o en días soleados. El restaurante opera parcialmente sin reservas, lo que significa que puede haber tiempos de espera, pero la espera se vuelve más llevadera con la opción de disfrutar de una bebida en la barra. "Wahaca Southbank" es apto para familias y también tiene espacio para grupos más grandes, lo que lo hace ideal para ocasiones sociales.

Went with friends for dinner. The service was really quick and our waiter was lovely and patient with us despite it being absolutely packed. I would advise booking for dinner on a weekend rather than just turning up. Most of the food was delicious, I would thoroughly recommend their signature houmous and frijoles, along with the sweet potato bravas. Those were phenomenal. We also ordered the plantain tacos, which used to be my favourite years ago but they seem to have changed the recipe and they were really difficult to eat. We ended up having to leave them. Overall wonderful experience, though, with quick service as the dishes come out when they're ready, which makes for the perfect sharing experience among a table.

Went for a quick bite after work. Waitress was lovely but my god the wait for the food was bizarrely long. The first meal, for my friend, came out after 20 minutes, and then one of my plates came out 20 minutes later. I eventually had to ask a waitress where the hell the rest of my meal was and she said my order had been mixed up and the ticket went missing. She then brought it out and the plantain was stone cold and rubbery from having been sat waiting for service so long. 10 minutes later they accidentally sent out another plantain - clearly they were supposed to send me out the fresh one but the waitress brought me the cold one that had been sat out for ages. Chaotic and abysmal. I complained and got refunded for one plate but tbh it spoiled my evening :( the only consolation was that our server was very polite and my cocktail was quick and nice

We had dinner at Wahaca Southbank with our two young girls, and Ruben could not have been more entertaining or attentive. He went above and beyond to make our experience special, from the excellent food service and cocktail recommendations to the custom-made non-alcoholic drink for our daughter—just so she could match “mummy and daddy.” The food was fantastic, and the service was truly top-tier. Thank you, Ruben, for making our evening so engaging and fun! Highly recommend!
