I have been eating at Wahoos since 1989. The portions and quality have dropped significantly and the price has drastically increased. Ordered five combo plates and they were good but not as good as in the past. This used to be a regular place but not anymore. It's wasn't bad just not great anymore. read more

Clean and efficiently run. Helpful service staff. Quiet ambiance during weekday lunch. Food arrived tasty and hot. Salsa bar has 4 options plus pickled jalapenos. The creamy cilantro sauce was my favorite. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - "Protein Bowl" with carnitas and crispy fish - Seafood Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

The food and the staff are consistently top notch! I tend to go for the fish options and they're always fresh and really tasty. I'm a regular, so consistency is very important to me, and this Wahoos always delivers. I brought my dad here a few times as well, and he ordered some items I haven't tried and really enjoyed them too. Every employee always has a positive attitude, which makes a big difference, and the ambiance is nice and chill. Have I mentioned, the unsweetened tea options are delightful. What's not to love? read more

So I was starving after hiking Whitings and Wahoo's is too convenient given it is at the trailhead. I ordered the kale salad with salmon which is pretty good and I would recommend if you want something healthy. I also had the chicken tortilla soup, which you can totally pass. It was not that great. Casual. Lots of parking. I must have come at a bad time because the restaurant was not busy but the food took forever to come out. For that reason I probably won't be back. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Wahoo's in Foothill Ranch, has been here since this plaza opened right off of Portola next to the 241 toll roads. It seems to be a somewhat popular chain. I am honestly not so sure about, Wahoo's. Why? Well, I have only been once, so this is based solely on the one item and time I ever ate something there. I brought my daughter and her best friend for lunch after they had been buggin' me for days. I didn't know what to order and being that I took them during my lunch hour, I was a little rushed in figuring out what to get. Maybe that's what the problem was, I don't know. The staff at the counter was friendly. The dining area needed a bit of cleaning. I'm guessing it was just after lunch rush hour. I decided to grab the Kahlua pig bowl which is carnitas sautéed in teriyaki over rice and beans, garnished with salsa. I love carnitas, so I thought why not. But now that I am typing this out...it doesn't sound appealing to me at all. Why I chose this bowl over others, I have no clue. Maybe it's my preference for Asian flavors that got me. I did not like this. I thought the combination of carnitas with the teriyaki sauce and salsa was weird. Would I ever order this dish again? Absolutely not, but would I ever come back? Sure. I am willing to try them again, but I am going to really look at the menu for something that sounds much more to my liking. read more

Not busy for lunch which is good. Staff is engaging. My chipotle salad took a little longer than expected. I guess I expected a fuller meal for the price. Wahoo's used to have eye-popping food that made you salivate. The menu description of their plates sounded more appealing than what was served. Plenty of tables inside and out. Drink and salsa stations. One trash can inside next to the drink station. Be careful of some of the wobbly tables. It was nice to see staff cleaning up tables. read more

First off, I love Wahoo's Fish Tacos. It has plenty of healthy food options and the sauces are a must try (and then obsess over). Maria's Spicy Green Sauce is my number one go to sauce here. And on to the food... THE FOOD ELABORATION. - Banzai Bowl | Carnitas, banzai vegetables, salad (sub from beans), cauliflower rice (sub from rice). Added marinated tofu for giggles. I felt healthy with this dish. It had a variety of vegetables; some roasted, others raw. The carnitas were shredded and had a slight sweetness to it. I poured some of Maria's Spicy Green Sauce on top and enjoyed this wonderful dish. THE RETURN QUANDARY. Absolutely coming back. I didn't think this place was going to steal my heart the way it did, but here we are. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Banzai Bowl with carnitas and tofu. Substituted the beans for salad. Absolutely delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

The customer service is always wonderful. Always greeted with a smile. Food is consistent and always yummy!

This location is in a strip mall next to Starbucks , nail salon and breakfast place. The parking is limited but you can park in the office complex across the street. The menu isn't allergy coded which is a pain. They do have an allergy list you can ask for behind the counter. Everyone at this location was super helpful and friendly. The food was really fresh. I played it super safe and got the salad without the tortilla strips. They even remade me a salad without the strips because I was concerned . Definitely will be back to this location. Not sure if other locations are as helpful. read more

My family always chooses Wahoo's because it is so delicious and fresh. Everyone is very nice but a server named Jessica is very attentive. She's very kind and makes sure everyone's needs are met. We really appreciate her. The bathrooms are very clean, but have no paper towels. We love WAHOO'S!!! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet, as I come here at least once a month. It's a step up from fast food Mexican like Taco Bell (lol) but it's certainly not Javier's! Basically you order at the cashier then they'll bring your food to your table if you're dining in. I have several go-to dishes. If I'm not too hungry, I'll get the kids protein bowl which comes with rice beans and your choice of protein for $5.99 (I usually get chicken). It's a decent size bowl and I usually slap some salsa on top to make it complete. The rice and beans are always fresh and the charbroiled chicken is tasty. My second favorite dish is their taquitos for $7.99, which also comes with rice and beans, as well as guacamole and sour cream. This is what I typically get when I'm hungry. And when I'm just down for a smaller meal then I'll get two ala carte charbroiled chicken tacos with slaw. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu, and prices are fairly reasonable. I usually call my order in or place it online. By the time I get there 10 minutes later, it's usually ready. They have a separate line for pick up orders so you don't have to stand in the long line of people waiting to order. If you decide to eat there, they have plenty of comfortable booths and tables inside, as well as a nice little patio outside. On the weekends you'll find lots of bikers who like to hang out there. Service is always fast and friendly. They're located in a small shopping plaza off of Portola Pkwy in Foothill Ranch. Plenty of parking is available. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite to eat! read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Taquitos plate - Seafood Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

Sadly disappointing. Didn't used to be an issue but the last couple times have serioisly lacked flavor...spicy white beans not even slightly seasoned, chicken bland, very little pico...Overall disappointed. If this was my first couple times trying Wahoos I would not go back. Have been eating Wahoos for 25ish years . So sad it has come to this . read more

I was visiting California and my friend lives in RSM. We initially went to Pick Up Stic but they are out of business. So my 2nd choice was Wahoo's. Sadly they don't have them in Arizona. I got my usual two chicken enchiladas in red sauce with black beans and rice. Delicious. read more

Service was great I've always loved eating wahoos funny thing is I've never had their fish tacos but I love their green salsa always get the chicken enchiladas with spicy white beans read more

I've been a loyal customer of Wahoos for many many years. For the first time ever, I had a poor experience so I decided to email the corporate office. Zero response. This clearly shows their arrogance and no appreciation for their customers, especially a customer that has been eating there for years. Wahoos seems to have lost their way. Sell the chain and get leaders that once again care. read more

I ordered my burrito to go at 8:36 pm and when I arrived I was the only person in the place. The person who ordered after me got his food right away as I still waited... Then the next person who ordered after him had his name called with his order being ready. Now that 15 minutes had past, so I asked why my order wasn't up yet. As it turns out my one burrito was inside the 2nd person's to go bag of food...Really...?!?! Pictured below is my $14.00 burrito (with tax), so exactly what am I paying for?!? Certainly it's not the fast service or the generous portions or the level of accomodations that was not afforded me after I had to literally pull my food out of the other customer's order? Next time I will be going to Chipotle - they literally hand you the food as you are ordering it and their portions are quite generous! Oh yeah, and they don't give your food to another customer. thanks wahoo read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - $14.00 buritto. Not exactly the most generous I've ever had. - Seafood Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

Boyfriends go to. The service is quick here and lots of indoor seating which I love. They will bring your food to you if you're sitting indoors and ordering in. There's this green sauce that's delicious! Be sure to take some home to go for your other meals. Almost reminds me of a middle eastern dip with the cilantro. read more

I've always loved the 2 enchilada combo because you get to choose between two proteins and types of beans and rice and two different sauce options. The menu changes through the years but that is my go to dish when I come. Service is always great. The food comes out quickly. Very strong branding in this and all stores. read more

Amazing food and service! Their outer reef burritos are epic! My favorite is the spicy fish wet with green sauce!

5 stars for fresh, healthy, delicious food and friendly and fast service. The Maria's sauce is extra spicy and hits the spot, definitely try it from their salsa bar if you are a spice head like me. I love the shrimp tacos with citrus slaw, the rice and white beans are a nice complement. read more

I eat here quite often and I am usually happy with my food but last week I ordered churro chips and they barely had any cinnamon and sugar which of course is why I order them. So I gave them another chance and ordered them today and AGAIN barely any which makes them not even edible. I threw them out. Very disappointing. I'm not going to drive all the way back to return them but I would loved closer I would. So annoying read more

Great service. Banzai burrito teriyaki steak wet with green sauce and veggies well done is my go to.

This location has long been a regular for us. it's usually pretty good when we eat there. However, the last several times we've gotten it to go they've messed up the order and it's always the same - they give us the burrito "wet style" even though we didn't order it that way and then upcharged us for it. When we tried to rectify it, they've blown us off. Really disappointe. read more

We had a great time this last Friday with my family. The service is friendly and always makes us feel welcome . Thank you wahoos for the great food. read more

I have been a Wahoos customer since the 90's and have always loved their food. Tonight my family ordered two banzai burritos and some fish tacos. I cut my burrito in half and ate it. I realized there was no meat in that half. So, I opened the other half and looked for meat. I discovered about 1 tablespoon of meat. I took pictures. This burrito was $14.00. I won't ever be back. read more

The food was amazing and warm. They also had great service and were kind. Their ambiance had good music and was clean.

Nice quick spot on the LF gift card list. Can't go wrong with the potato tacos, taquitos, and chicken quesadilla. The shrimp bowl was nice too but not sure if I prefer it over the others. I've never really had to wait more than 10-15 mins for my food which is great when ordering to-go and by the time I get there it's ready. Staff is always friendly and helpful, never an issue with parking either. read more

I haven't eaten at Wahoo's for a few years, so I decided to eat lunch there. Sadly, my experience was less than desired. I ordered the Protein Bowl and Ceviche for $28. Which consisted of a few pieces of chopped chicken, a small piece of fish (+$0.75) and coleslaw. Wahoo's should be embarrassed for charging such high prices for such bland, unappetizing food. Absolutely nothing special or tasty about the food, I would not recommend this restaurant. The service was fine, but I did come in just after they opened; I was the only person in the restaurant. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Protein Bowl and Ceviche - Seafood Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

Food is really tasty. Salsa bar is good. The 1/2 end of foam keg of the excellent Sculpin Ale as a comped treat would have been nice, but no Bueno. I would have bought another one just for the fun and kindness. Bring your own fork or silver tableware if you actually wish to comfortably eat your meal because the terrible thin utensils from Yahoo's are sadly uncomfortable and non functional. Food is good though...we used to visit 3x a month, now only 1x month due to big price increase. Restaurants really need to figure out a better balance with this ridiculous price inflation. Wahoo is still good quality, but how can they stay on business if customers only visit 50% of past visits? read more

Wow! The most flavorful thing I've had since moving to South OC. The chicken tortilla soup was excellent, and nearly got rid of my cold. Very yummy with lots of hearty vegetables and thick pieces of chicken read more

"Secret Half-price Beer + Good Menu + Friendly Manager, Sergio." Yes, you heard me right. They have a special feature called, "The Beer of the Month." For a 14 oz glass it's only $2.99. The trick is, you have to know about it. There is no sign at the front counter explaining the beer deal. I assume that is a fortuitous accident. Wow--I wish I would have known that before I placed my order! I don't know if they try to keep the beer deal a secret, but I didn't find out about it until I was seated and saw the llittle advertisement on a table nearby. I confirmed with the nice manager that there is no sign at the front counter. I enjoyed the Sculpin IPA, but for $2.99, I'm pretty sure I would have enjoyed the Modelo even more! Well anyway, I still enjoyed my meal here. I ordered the combination plate with one chicken enchilada and one steak taco. The combination plate comes with a huge quantity of beans and rice. I upgraded to the wild rice. I thought the taco was excellent, and the steak enchilada was pretty good. Unless you have a really huge appetite, I bet you'll find the combination plate too large. I think next time I will skip the combination plate and just order the taco or enchilada ala carte. I was delivered a steak enchilada, when I really ordered a chicken enchilada. But beyond that it was a good visit. Fun atmosphere with an excellent menu. The employees here are really friendly and helpful. I am definitely coming back. Special shout-out to the wonderful, professional manager, Sergio. I understand he worked his way up starting as a dishwasher. Bravo bravo! But next time I'm going to get that half-price beer. I don't care if you are hiding the little signs. read more

Somehow they find the no best staff. They are always happy and work hard. The steak is not great but all the fish dishes are awesome. Stick to the originals. Taquitos are awesome. Prices are right. It feels healthy. My family loves it. Yummy! read more

Clean and easy...food was sadly average across the board. More sustenance than a nice, family-friendly dinner. Nothing blew us away and our prior memories of this franchise were more pleasant than this visit. Especially now that they've raised prices quite a bit read more

I had a quesadilla combo with guacamole and sour cream with fries. I had nine fries and although they asked me if I want sour cream and guacamole, I got neither. I also got shrimp a rice plate and there was one cup of rice and seven little shrimp. What happened to Wahoo's?? read more

Quality and quantity of ingredients is going down. I haven't been to Wahoo's in quite some time but I can tell you having to pay $5 for a 1998 Taco that has three bites of carnitas, then filled with lettuce and tortilla to hide the lack of meat, does not go over very well. Super unhappy with the quality of product. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - 1998 Taco with barely any carnitas and a lot of lettuce. - Seafood Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

We had fish tacos, chicken breast tacos and carnitas tacos - all were excellent. Their salsas are also very good. Most importantly, I want to mention Omar and Erick - both servers, who brought our food to our table. They were exceptionally friendly, helpful and amazing attitudes. It is rare, in a fast casual dining place, you find such excellent employees. I am hoping the manager reads this and values these two young gentlemen. We are from out of town but ate at your establishment three times simply because of the good food and wonderful service. read more

I love this place. The smiles and friendly staff are I good way to start a excellent meal. Regina was very helpful. she sold me chips and salsa even though I wasn't in the mood for them. But they were delicious. "Hit the spot" Keep up the great work and I will tell my friends to go pay them a visit. read more

This is by far the best Wahoo's in South County! We've been to several in the area and keep coming back to this one for the cleanliness, fresh and well-made food, and great ambiance/music. The manager at this location runs everything very well and always makes us feel welcome. Today I had a migraine and accidentally ordered the wrong protein tacos, and she quickly had a new batch made which I was so thankful for! Excellent food, excellent service. read more

We enjoy family meals here after church. The food and drinks are delicious. It's great to enjoy a meal on the outdoor patio. I appreciate the services with the waiters and how they bring you more salsa. More salsa for the chips and naturally delicious tacos! read more
