    For me this is not really authentic taco or Mexican foods place...more of American pan Mexican. The place is wonderful nice and spacious with a chill vibe that you just want to hangout for all day. They do have inside and outside seating area with cool and surfing type of decor (both objects and pictures). The staff is wonderful and friendly (one was slow and took 5-7mins trying to place the orders in the system but couldn't and got the manager to help out). You order and once the foods are done, they will bring it out to you. They do have separate soda fountain and sauces station. They also have beers (great selection) for sale. The menu items mostly are seafoods but they do have meats too. Got chicken burrito, pastor street tacos, and fish tacos with beers. All are around $60 with tip. The foods are just okey, not bad not good/great...just okey but sides portion are generous. Chicken is nothing special, fish are good and nicely cooked, pastor is not that great...just below average for my taste...beer is great. I would give a 2 but service and staff plus the whole dining room are far better than the foods so 3 it is - POV that is all.

    Patio vibes!

    Come here on the regular! There's lots of locations in the OC but here feels like home! They have the sweetest staff, the queens- Elizabeth & Liz are so nice! Love them. Food is always fresh! The quaint little Victorian house and patio are so charming and has the best vibe. Come here for good food & the best time!

    Salmon wahoos salad

    My recent experience at Wahoos in Orange was amazing. The Salmon salad was mind blowing one of the best Salads I have had 10/10.The atmosphere is excellent the service service is great everyone nice and kind, friendly. Definitely going back I need a Margarita which looks delicious that's on my next visit. If you're around the orange circle definitely stop by. You won't regret.

    Fish Taco plate!!! Great fuel if you ask me!!!

    Atmosphere is quite chill music in the background and reminds me of a skate park just without the skating! The fish tacos are crunchy and very flavorful and the ingredients are super fresh! The white rice and black beans are filling and do their job lol!Service is cool you order up front they give you a number and they bring the food to your table! Overall this place passes especially with those fire fish tacos!!!

    We love Wahoo's!!! This is one of our family favorite places to meet because they have something for everyone! Our kids love the mini quesadilla and kids salmon bowl, the parents love the burritos, nachos and banzai bowl, the grandparents love the fish tacos and adult size salmon bowl. You can't go wrong! The staff are amazing! They are always so nice and helpful and they keep the restaurant inexplicably clean. The food is always delicious and don't sleep on the salsa bar - they add so much flavor and spice to the meal. and the location is perfect for a nice stroll through the Orange Circle after dinner.

    So haven't been here in a very long time, me and the family decided to try it out. They have a great menu, and everything looks great, a little higher on the price side but the kids options and pricing is very good. The staff is very friendly, service was great and they aim to please. They have plenty of space for seating big parties inside and outside. All the food came out pretty quickly, the only thing was that it was almost cold/warm, the food was not hot. But everyone seemed to enjoy it. They have great salsas but no tartar sauce if you order the fish dishes. The bowls are great and my daughter loved the beef bowl, and my burrito was good, just the lack of chicken in it and half my burrito being just rice was a little disappointing. But overall great experience.

    What a super fun place this was to go hang out and have lunch. The inside of this place is covered with skateboards and old times skater posters snd autographed pictures on the walls. Surfing pics to for the OC beaches. The tacos were great you get to pretty much order them the way you like them but the best part is ghat you can get them grilled and leave the poison vegetable oil out. Sat outside in the nice cool breeze. Super place. I had a grilled salmon taco and a shrimp and chicken taco with rice and slaw. Very delicious tacos.

    It was great fish  Sandwich i had for long time! Soooo good

    My girlfriend and I came today for fish tacos and beer. When we were served our beer and sat outside she noticed it was extremely flat because the keg was low. She informed the team and they gave a refund and two bottles Coronas. We tipped of course then enjoyed our delicious food. MAJOR points to the team for understanding and showing love to us. Made our day! Will be coming back over and over. Also, it's gorgeous outside on the patio! Great ambiance!

    In these post COVID-19 days of limited customer service and substantial price increases, Wahoo's Fish Taco has held fast. The quality of food, pricing and service did not waiver. The most substantial indication of a pandemic related change was paper plates and boxes, which has been restored to normal tableware. As a bi-weekly patron of Wahoo's Orange, I can testify there were some rough patches with staffing and some ill-prepared plates, but Wahoo's always made it right with a smile and we're back to consistent, excellent food. If you have the opportunity to talk with Wing Lam and get to know him, you might just understand why the restaurants are so good. Get out there and support a restaurant that cares more about providing good, real, tasty food above profits.

    Cheese enchilada

    Check this work of art out. It genuinely felt and tasted (and looked) like an old enchilada was slapped onto this plate then microwaved (the cheese was stuck to the plate, just like if you warmed it up in your own microwave). Also, $14.50 for this junk, one taco and a soda.

    Overall a great experience…read more The pros: Came in on a Saturday afternoon and was sat down to be greeted by a lovely server. Had red and white sangria. Both were good but we both preferred the white. Queso fundido was good but didn't come with chips so we ordered chips and salsa. Mole tostadidas were delightful, full of flavor. Esquites: the bomb. Super flavorful and we cleaned the plate. Churrosnwere good, but the dipping sauces left something to be desired. A little runny and preferred the hot churro on its own. The cons: the only thing that was a little disappointing was the fact that they served us the end of a bag of chips. While the chips were fine, it was surprising that at a michelin star restaurant they didn't serve homemade chips. Worse still, we got the tail end of the bag of chips. The top of the bowl had regular sized chips but they were just hiding the smaller broken odds and ends that you find at the bottom of the bag.

    We were there today - Nice location. It was Sunday at 4pm. Restaurant wasn't too busy but still had…read moreto wait to be seated. They charge $5 for chips and salsa and no refills of chips. Food took a very long time to come out. $18 for a Margarita. Shrimp tacos $23 (2 tacos- 3 shrimp in each taco) did not include rice or beans. Rice and beans are extra( $4 for either). Typically rice and beans are a staple at any Mexican restaurant and it's included with most combinations. A surcharge of 3% was added as a 'kitchen appreciation' charge Would I go back, probably not. It was a once and done kinda thing.

    Look if there's anything I know I know good Mexican food…read morewhy because I'm Mexican I eat Mexican food every day to me. I don't call it Mexican food. I just call it food cause that's what I eat for breakfast lunch and dinner so when I'm telling you that this place has some really good food trust me you want to come out and try it. Everything they have on the menu is bomb as fuck. Their drinks are bomb. The service is bomb. That's the reason I keep coming back all the way from the inland Empire to Orange to eat their food this is one of my favorite spots to come and join the rest of my family. We all come from different parts of Southern California just to eat here so if you're yelping and you're curious to know how good this place is stop it already just come in you won't be disappointed!! I do have to warn you that this is a Cantina restaurant so the music is loud but guess what? I fucking love loud music!!

    Writing this review is a little difficult because the place has potential, it just needs a few…read moretweaks. To begin with, the place is SO loud it felt like I was in a club. Probably better for a nighttime gathering, but kind of threw off our brunch talking session. This is definitely a personal preference, but prepare to be extremely overstimulated. The place is absolutely gorgeous! Kudos to whoever did the interior decorating because everything is visibly pleasing. Even the presentation of drinks and food were great and "instagram-worthy". My friends and I did bottomless mimosas for $35 which is a fair price, but the rest of the menu was ridiculously overpriced. $15 Base for chilaquiles but it's a minimum of $7 to add protein (a very minuscule amount) AND an extra $4 just to add eggs?? Regular drinks were extremely tax as my friend's latte horchata was $12 and it was not good at all. The food was not bad, but the upcharging and skimpy portions definitely put this place on my "no" list. HOWEVER, if they just make minor tweaks with the volume, pricing, and food quantity it definitely could be a great place to go! The staff is friendly and the vibes are right, there just needs to be some changes for me personally.

    First time here, and overall, we had a good experience. What I really liked was the service…read more Everyone was super nice and helpful, from the servers to the rest of the staff. Our water glasses were always full, and they kept the table clean as soon as we finished a plate. The food was good, but not the best I've tried. I had the Grande Taco Salad, and I really enjoyed it. We also ordered the seafood tacos, but unfortunately, the shrimp had a little bit of a soapy taste. We let our server know, and they were very nice about it and offered to get her something else. A note for anyone who doesn't eat pork: ask for the beans prepared "a la olla" instead of the refried beans. I asked our server if the refried beans were made with manteca (pork lard), and he confirmed that they were, so just something to be aware of when ordering. The restaurant itself has a lot of character. It used to be a church, so it has beautiful colorful windows with designs, lots of wood inside, and some huge, beautiful lamps in the middle. They also have outdoor seating, but it was way too hot to sit outside when we went. Overall, it was a nice first visit, especially because of the friendly service and atmosphere. I'm giving it 4 stars because of the soapy taste in the shrimp and because, while the food was good, I've had better Mexican food at other places.

    Great customer service! Friendly staff and super accommodating…read more First time and it won't be the last, just discover my new dinner spot and I am going back to try the mahi tacos!! Ambiance is perfect for families, parties and even meeting up with friends. Food tasted authentic.

    Dinner was here last night with my babe…read more The parking situation is awkward, as it stretches around the building, but wasn't too much of an issue. The front and entrance area to the restaurant are well maintained and give me a rainforest cafe type feeling. We had a lime margarita and strawberry mixed margarita, both of which were very large and very good. Complimentary chips and salsa were served, and the waiter was very prompt with water refills and service. The ambience and dim lighting make for a relaxed atmosphere. I had an asada burrito and babe had a combination plate. Both of which were very large portioned and tasted great. Will be visiting again.

    1 star -- Family-owned for decades, and this is how they treat a 30-year customer…read moreI've been coming to Moreno's for 30+ years -- family celebrations, graduations, work events, etc. I was here two weeks ago. Today I came in with family, ordered about 15 minutes after happy hour ended, and asked the waiter if they could still honor happy hour pricing because we were only a few minutes late and we're longtime regulars. He said he'd ask the manager. Fine. He came back and said no. I told him, half-joking, that's fine -- I'd talk to the manager when we were done. I did not demand she come to the table. I did not make a scene. Two minutes later a woman I'd never seen in three decades of eating here walks up in a confrontational tone: "Is there a problem here?" She is Linda, her family owns the place -- she made that clear -- and she was acting as manager. She then said a lot of people claim they've been coming for 30 years just to get a discount. She questioned whether I actually had, said she has never seen me before. She kept pushing after I tried to shut it down so we could finish lunch with family. Aggressive, condescending, and completely out of line for a drink-special question I was already prepared to drop. We offered to pay for the drinks and leave. She said she didn't want our money. Something about her father dying a year ago and he wouldn't take it either. A family that's run this restaurant for nearly half a century sent out a manager I'd never met to accuse a 30-year customer of lying over fifteen minutes on a happy hour price. That is not hospitality. That is not how you treat people who have spent decades celebrating here. I will never eat here again, neither will my family. There are plenty of places nearby that still know what a regular looks like.
