IMPORTANT STUFF

Wahaca want to make eating vegan as easy as possible. Remember to make sure your waiter knows who on the table is eating vegan, so that if any modifications are required to your dishes they can be sure to let the chefs know and deliver the right food to you.

OTHER ALLERGIES

If you are following a vegan diet and have any other allergies or intolerances, please ask to see Wahaca’s full dietary requirements guide which brings all available information together in one place.

TAKING EXTRA CARE WITH FRIED DISHES

Wahaca define dishes suitable for vegetarians as those which do not contain meat as an ingredient and dishes suitable for vegans as those which do not contain meat or animal products as an ingredient. Some dishes – whilst not containing meat or an animal product as an ingredient themselves – have an element that is cooked in deep-fryers.

The fryers at Wahaca are cleaned and filled with fresh oil regularly. However, they may have also been used to cook products containing a non-vegan ingredient during service.
