Cure place. Been here before and this is my second time. The first time I had the fish tacos. Today I'm having the Kale Kai Salad with steak. Tastes good, but very spicy. I didn't know it' would be spicy. Portion is big, flavor is great. Has corn, black beans, lettuce, kale, avocado, chopped tomatos, onions and tortilla strips with cilantro dressing. Very good and I plan to visit again for happy hour and to try the margaritas. PS: The wall menu gives you the calorie count. read more

Set in a strip mall, Wahoo's Fish Taco is a chain that is only here in Middletown NJ. The closest one is in Florida so said a crew member, Remo. There is no table service though they will bring the food to the table. Latino decor is evident. The food is decent. My only concern is that they nickel and dime you with many of the extras. Is this a must-go place to try? No, not really. read more

Great food. Mad about the large amount of rice they put in the burritos but other than that, solid food. read more

The portions are always great. The burritos are wrapped to perfection. Chips come in the bag greasy and tasty. This place makes the local chipotle look like a complete joke. read more

So I grew up in California and Wahoos came around in the late 80's... I have enjoyed the tacos, beans and rice for YEARSSS, they even got me through the cravies during my pregnancies days!! ya that good! so moving to NJ, no wahoos in fact I had my last Wahoo's fish taco in May of 2013, b4 I moved to NJ. SOOOO Imagine my surprise as I am driving down the road and see a Wahoo's Fish tacos sign, like I almost crashed my car-- I was so happyyyy.. now it's 11am in the morning but the craving was there, like it hit hard!! so I do my Trader Joe shopping for Mini-Me -she recently has been on a chicken soup dumpling kick from TJ's ,,, but quick like it was a "fast" turn at the jug handle and off to Wahoo's. Of course I ordered the fish taco combo and the fish burrito-- like you are crazy not toooooooo... packed all nice & off I went back home bearing gifts of yummy food. This Wahoo's has a nice bar and on Mondays $5. margaritas. Ok the food was packed well & still hot when I got home. Hubby loved the burrito and was very satisfied that it did indeed taste the same. Mini-Me was in heaven and of course will be heading back with me to dine in. Well Done Wahoo's WELL DONE!!! read more

Always great food and great service. Love that there's a bar too with great happy hour specials.

Been here a few times and the food is always fresh and delicious. I love that they occasionally have live music

I asked for no meat on Nachos. They put chicken. I asked for pico & jalapeños to be added, they were not. The quesadilla & beans are good. read more

I stopped by this little fish taco joint when I was in the area and definitely not disappointed. I know it's a chain, but I think it's one of the only ones in NJ so it doesn't count for me. I love that they have outdoor, dog friendly seating area. It's great especially in the summer when you're out and about. The best part though? The food is bomb. Even though it's a chain, it's got a really fresh quality ingredients! I love that the fish tacos come with slaw and not just plain cabbage. Also the rice and beans that come on the side are absolutely delicious. Honestly overall a great place to stop by for a quick meal. Also, the prices are really reasonable! Especially for the quality of food. read more

Food was really good. Service was perfect and we loved the ambience. We will go back soon!

When in Middletown there's only 1 place to get street tacos and beer, that's Wahoo's. They ah e a neat little outdoor area and a bar to sit and eat outside. The interior is roomy and kind of fun. I've been here several times abs tried most of the menu so I can safely say everything is very good. The price points are fair I'd not at bargain levels and you get your belly full to boot. The staff is friendly fast and attentive. Don't miss a chance to tru Wahoo's. read more

My bestie, goddaughter and I got together for dinner and took a ride to this restaurant. When we arrived I parked in the plaza lot. We walked up and there was indoor and outdoor seating and we choose indoor. The restaurant is set up to order your food at the counter, pay and they will bring it to you at the table. I ordered the Alaskan Flounder burrito teriyaki style. My friend ordered the steak quesadilla. While we waited I went over to the bar and ordered the espresso martini which was good but not enough lol. When the food came it was very good. The owner Rimy came around and checked on us several times and he was very nice. I will say the food and drink was very affordable. All in all I enjoyed my time. read more

Hubs and I have been wanting to try this place for a while but never got a chance to because we kept forgetting about because we live far away. Well, we finally remembered to come here and give this place a try. He ordered loaded nachos, which is described as your choice of protein topped with jack & cheddar mix, beans, jalapeños, served with salsa, sour cream & guacamole. Hubs said that it had chips, salsa and beans. What's there not to like? However, we could've added any protein to it and it could've tasted the same. He chose the fish as protein but had no clue as to what kind of fish it was. Overall, it tasted like a plate of nachos with a protein on top of it. There was nothing exhilarating about it but it filled him up. Daughter ordered the salmon bowl, which is Alaska salmon grilled with light soy marinade, served over rice & citrus slaw with a side of homemade aioli. She says that it's been a long time since she had cooked salmon and this filled her up. However, she felt it could've used more seasoning. She thought that it was good but it could have been better. Lastly, I had two enchiladas, which is any protein served with rice and beans, garnished with salsa. You can also substitute one side with citrus slaw or salad for an extra charge of 50 cents. I also had fish as well but didn't know what kind of fish it was. I chose to keep my sides and not substitute anything. I had a choice of red or green salsa and chose green. It was ok, no big deal. I felt this place was more Tex Mex/Southwestern kind of food and I'm not crazy about it. Service was ok and quick. Maybe, I'll return to try other items on the menu, eventually.... read more

We were looking for a nice lunch in the area and definitely found it! Deliciously fresh fish tacos and just enough food to fill us up. Really cool place inside for either pick up, dine in, or just grabbing a quick drink at the bar. Really cool place. Friendly place. We'll be back! read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Bar - Seafood Near Me - Middletown, New Jersey

This place doesn't look like much from the outside as it is nestled between a TJ Maxx and a Livoti's. Their menu looks like they have a ton of good options ranging from tacos to bowls. It also tries to present itself like a Southern California beach taco spot. I would also highly recommend sitting at the bar and trying some of their drinks. Finally, I had a bowl with carne asada, rice, and beans. I opted to add avocado slices for a couple extra cents. The carne asada was in a sauce with sautéed vegetables (onions, peppers, and mushrooms). The steak could have used a little more seasoning but the rice was good. The beans were just normal black beans from a can. They could have tried to add some flare to it. Nonetheless, great spot and I am looking forward to trying more food in the future. read more

The food here is fabulous!! I had a fish taco while my mom had a chicken bowl. We both recommend this place and would return again if we're in the area. The service was great and there was a man singing and provided free entertainment which was added to the nice ambiance. read more

Best black beans ever! Love this place, whether take out or dine in. It's very casual, with a bar, and great service! All at a reasonable price. Don't let the strip mall location fool you! read more

The only good thing about this experience was the size of the salmon. My first hint to run was that they had absolutely no prices posted. I had a salmon over rice bowl and it was HIGHLY disappointing. The salon was cooked well but not seasoned at all and the rice was extremely bland. For a $25 meal for one I expected muchhhhhh better. Never again read more

Giving 2 stars as the staff was super friendly, attentive, and nice. However - the food was bland, blah, and not great overall. Burritos hardly had any meat in them, had a strange butter taste, and was like 90% rice. The place has potential with a bar, outside seating, nice staff, and a good location. I will not be back as it was under the other well known fast food names for food taste and quality. I expected above that! read more

Decided to check out a local taco place near my new job today and wow!! I'm so pleasantly surprised by this place. Having previously worked in NYC, I came into this area with apprehension in trying the local food spots. Wahoos doesn't disappoint! Their Cajun fries with the special ranch sauce is amazing! Tacos are pretty decent too. You might have to ask for hot sauce on the side if you need a bit more zest in them like I do. I like that they have a full bar too! Very friendly staff :) would recommend! read more

We eat and order from here consistently purely due to convenience. Be prepared to deal with untrained and combative high school students running the front of house.

Fantastic dinner tonight at the new Wahoos in Middletown. Joe one of the owners was fantastic and so proud of his new place. It is in the shopping plaza with Applebees etc (where Pathmark used to be) great food, and a wonderful bar. If you go, a good trick is to order the food first, and then go to the bar, they bring it to you there, and the flow is better than going to the bar and then going back to get the food. 1147 Route 35 Middletown 07748 United States They have a happy hour 6-8pm, $2 Miller Beers, they have $10 Margaritas, you order the food at the counter, and then they bring it to you at the bar... fantastic food, nice atmosphers and we just had fun The food was great quality, and plentiful, my wife and I had a pre-Mothers day dinner for $20, and then went to the bar for another $20, just a nice dinner 732.671.TACO(8226) https://www.wahoos.com/now-open-in-new-jersey/ read more

During covid they do not offer fountain soda to customers only bottled sodas. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - a plate of food - Seafood Near Me - Middletown, New Jersey

We were at this Middletown location tonight to shop and decided to stop in for a quick dinner at around 6pm. We enjoyed our first Wahoo meal here three years ago, pre-COVID, so we were looking forward to another. We ordered a Wahoo bowl with fish (spicy wahoo) and black beans, and a Wahoo bowl with tofu and spicy beans, and we were served our meals within 10 minutes. Service was great. Unfortunately, the food was terrible. The wahoo was WAY over cooked; rubbery so you could bounce a fork off of it. Frankly, it seemed like fish cooked yesterday and served as leftovers today. The tofu was unremarkable, and the spicy beans had an off taste. We dine out a lot, and we weren't expecting anything other than good fast food, but this was terrible fast food. It was easily the worst restaurant meal we've been served this year. Very disappointing. We won't be back. read more

This is the new hot spot in town. It's great for lunch or dinner. Full bar to enjoy your evenings with appetizers built for two. Children's menu items also good for bringing the family. When Summer comes, the garage style windows will open and you can enjoy Wahoos even more with fresh air pumping through. The vibe is beach type music. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Bar area - Seafood Near Me - Middletown, New Jersey

Flavorful, fresh, fairly healthy, well-priced Tex-Mex. My only regret is discovering this place just before moving out of the area, which is starved for any kind of ethnic food options. This definitely hits the spot in an area full of mediocre pizza, Chinese, and one dirty Chipotle. Also, the manager really seems to care and runs a tight ship. My only two complaints are that it should stay open later (closes at 7:45) and deliver. Otherwise, recommended! read more

I apologize for another late review. I met a friend last Friday evening (12/10) who I hadn't seen in a while. I was looking for a place near him to try. He is a vegan and needed a menu to accommodate that. After some Yelp searching I decided on this small chain based on the style of food and the intriguing menu. Apparently is Mexican with Hawaiian and Brazilian influences. I'm not a big fan of chains, but this place knocked it out of the park. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I brought my wife back on Saturday night! I wish this place was closer to my home. I told another friend that I'm rekindling a friendship with who loves Mexican style food and he said that's our next lunch visit. So, on Friday after getting used to how to order, my friend and I were blown away by the quality and flavors of the food. It's what you expect on the surface with tacos, enchiladas, and burritos. However, you pick a protein and style separately. You order and they bring it out to you which I should have understood because they give you a pager type device that is flat and has a number on it. The base prices are low, but then add ons get an up charge. It's still very reasonable. For example, I had the wahoo(a dense white fish) fish taco with citrus salsa, and chicken taco prepared the same. There was a charge for that and sour cream and guacamole. The young lady rattled off these options quickly so be careful. Sliced avocado was added to my tacos that I didn't want but I probably didn't catch her saying it. They were served on double soft corn tortillas. I got them regular, not spicy, a mistake for the chicken. We ordered the meal combos which come with black beans and either white or brown rice. Neither are my favorite as I prefer Spanish rice and pinto or refried beans. My friend had tofu and shrimp for some reason (not vegan!) and we thought for the price and taste it was well worth it. He couldn't stop raving about his food. You can order 1988 style (the year the the company was founded) which is a traditional style taco. You can also get flour tortillas as well which is what I did Saturday on my carnitas taco. My wife had a wahoo salad that she annihilated (she's tiny so when she finishes something it has to be incredibly delicious) except for some of the fish because of the portion size. My dog annihilated that for breakfast on Sunday! On Saturday I didn't have the combo as a didn't want the rice or beans so I had a carne asada enchilada with green sauce. Absolutely amazing. I need a thesaurus. For those alcohol lovers they have a bar! In fact, that's where you get water or a fountain soda, they offer a variety of bottled items at the register as well. Keep in mind because of these Covid days they close at 745pm. Hopefully as things improve they will stay open later on the weekends. I cannot emphasize enough how good the food was. We will be back soon and I will not forget to take pics. read more

What a hidden gem this place is! Food was soo fresh, healthy, and affordable. For both meals, our total was $22! Theres a bar inside too and the atmosphere is super cool. We will definitely be returning. Great place to chill with friends for a quick healthy bite. read more
