Vibrant, Mexican small plates, made with over 200 ingredients, everyday by talented chefs. Cocktails freshly shaken to order, from iconic margaritas, made with 100% blue agave tequila, to mezcalitas and beautifully crafted non-alc cocktails. A taste of authentic Mexican flavours from Oaxaca to Wahaca. With a relaxed, laid-back vibe, where everyone’s welcome, any time of day.

Cooking with fresh, local, ingredients, with a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, Wahaca has been consistently recognised as a leading sustainable restaurant.

Located right in the heart of Cardiff’s city centre in The Hayes, Wahaca Cardiff is a great spot for a bite while shopping, before a gig, or heading to events at St. David’s Hall. Buzzing on rugby days, Wahaca Cardiff is an up-beat casual spot shaking zesty margaritas. With three floors there's plenty of space for big groups looking for tacos and margaritas with friends.

Although an excellent service by charming and attentive Saray, we were underwhelmed by the food. The pork and beef tacos we felt were 'mushy' and lacked texture. The halloumi taco was just ok. The best part was the fried sweet potato. The churros we had for dessert were equally disappointing. They lacked flavour and felt they may have been re-heated in oil or just fried too long, as they didn't taste fresh. It's such a pity we won't be returning, as we liked the ambience and service received by our lovely waitress.

Service very slow not offered drinks just given water but one lovely waitress (Spanish lady from Tenerife) was working really hard and was very welcoming. Food lovely but they couldn't take payment in cash? No simple facility to split bill by card either? We had to ask to split it in two. Would go again though as the food is so good.

Nice vibe. You may wait a while for the bill but on a Saturday that would be expected. Beef tacos are super!

My partner and I aren’t strangers to Wahaca so we understand it can be busy and noisy sometimes so that’s not an issue, the food was great and we were even given a free quesadilla! Amazing service and we will definitely be back

It was very busy so it took a bit longer for the food to arrive. I’ve always enjoyed going to wahaca but I feel like the food is not as nice as it used to be.
