The new menu is created with relaxed al fresco dining in mind

Wahaca has unveiled its brand-new summer menu, bringing bold Mexican-inspired flavours to restaurants right across the UK.

The collection of seasonal dishes and refreshing drinks is now available for diners looking to embrace the warmer weather. Diners will also find the return of a popular potato dish.


It's all about relaxed al fresco dining and sunny catch-ups with friends, according to the restaurant chain.

The menu draws on Mexico's vibrant colours and energetic food culture, offering everything from fresh seafood to plant-packed bowls and fruity cocktails perfect for sipping in the sunshine.

Diners can choose between grilled chicken, 'Halloumi Al Pastor' or garlic sweet potato to top things off, making it easy to find something that suits your taste.

To complement the new dishes, Wahaca has launched a collection of Spritz cocktails bursting with fruity summer flavours.

The Frida Spritz (£10.95) takes inspiration from the colourful artwork of Frida Kahlo, blending white rum with pink grapefruit, Prosecco, lemon and vanilla.

Other options include the Wahaca Spritz with tequila and grapefruit, plus a Jalapeño & Cucumber Spritz for those who fancy a bit of heat. Non-drinkers can enjoy the Three Citrus Spritz at £5.95.

Wahaca CEO, Gemma Glasson, said: “Summer is all about vibrant flavours and uplifting dishes that are perfect for sharing, and this new menu really captures that energy.

“With a focus on seasonal, veg-forward dishes reimagined through a Mexican lens, sustainably-sourced seafood and refreshing spritzes, we’re all about dining that’s fresh, colourful and relaxed this summer at Wahaca.”
