    Fish Taco plate!!! Great fuel if you ask me!!!
    Hopi H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is quite chill music in the background and reminds me of a skate park just without the skating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff are amazing! They are always so nice and helpful and they keep the restaurant inexplicably clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

    Fish Sandwich was great Very nice clean , friendly environment Great location in Downtown Orange

    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.

    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.

    Protein Bowl with chicken and carne asada - delicious and healthy!
    Kent V.

    They have some great healthy dishes here like their 1988 burrito. Super good filling burrito with chicken, salad, salsa and cheese. I like their different bowl options too with veggies, salads and protein. Food comes out pretty fast and there are plenty of seats here. Recommend for a casual lunch.

    The location at the Orange Circle is especially nice with a pleasant outdoor dining area. The food at Wahoo's is tasty, fresh and a good value. My favorite menu item is the #1 Combo. I either order tacos or enchiladas. The accompaniments of rice and beans, round out the plate, making it very filling. My order arrived fresh and hot. The chicken protein with the red sauce was great together. I especially like Wahoo's white rice. I don't know what ingredients they put in their rice, but it is delicious. If your window shopping around Orange Circle, Wahoo's is a great place to rest your feet and get some good healthy food.

    Protein Bowl with chicken carne asada and brown rice .
    Chris G.

    The food here is really good everything was really fresh so far I have tried the salmon bowl with white rice it had a nice flavor it has a light soy marinade on it it also comes with a homemade aioli sauce on the side and citrus slaw the aioli and citrus slaw are delicious the white rice had good taste to it . I have also had the protein bowl with chicken and carne asada with brown rice and veggies it was really good great quality meats good taste as well it comes with the citrus slaw . The employees were really nice and helpful here the inside and outside are really nice too they have lots of seating both outside and inside with fire pits outside for when it's cold I think the prices are decent especially for the quality and portions you receive.

    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.

    I'd like to start by saying the service was not the issue. The staff were kind and happily offered…read morerecommendations when asked. In my opinion, the restaurant should just be called "Gabbi's Kitchen," because that would be more appropriate. This is the type of "Mexican" restaurant that Mexicans don't actually go to. Basic concepts and dishes that are either done incorrectly or have way too much going on. We ordered the Al Pastor Gordita, and it was easily the worst gordita I've ever had. The meat wasn't traditionally seasoned the way you'd expect al pastor to be, which could be fine, except it was overwhelmed by the taste of either cinnamon, allspice, or some other seasoning I couldn't identify. It was distracting and unpleasant. Then there was an overwhelming amount of pineapple. There shouldn't even be pineapple in a gordita, but if there is, it shouldn't be the main ingredient. Instead of lettuce, there were one or two spinach leaves, and no beans. We also ordered the Arrachera, which was basically carne asada on corn and nopal. This was the most expensive dish, yet while the cheaper dishes came with sides, this was mainly just a piece of meat on a small mountain of corn. No beans, rice, or salsa. I asked for salsa and received an overly sweet, somehow-not-spicy habanero salsa that they charged $4 for. And if you're used to going to literally any authentic Mexican restaurant and getting complimentary chips and salsa, don't expect that here. They offer it to you like it's free, but it's not. I wanted to try something new, and the hostess at the front said the food was "really good" (not her fault), but unfortunately, it's just another Americanized Mexican restaurant that makes you regret not going to a place you already know and trust.

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.

    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.

A group of us came in and spent around $500. We ordered several appetizers and shared different plates because everything looked so good. I personally ordered the tacos gobernador. That night and the next day was awful. I started vomiting, had severe diarrhea, missed work, and my child also got sick after eating. Because of what happened, I called the restaurant to let them know and make them aware. I wasn't expecting an argument--I just wanted them to take the situation seriously. But I was being confused for someone that had already called earlier that day with the same problem. I felt completely brushed off. The response I received was basically, "Thanks for your comment." When I spoke with a supervisor he came across as aggressive and made me feel like I wasn't even allowed to express my concerns about what happened. As a regular paying customer, that was incredibly frustrating. I'm not saying restaurants don't have challenges or that mistakes can't happen. But when customers spend hundreds of dollars, we deserve quality food, proper food safety practices, and to be treated with respect when we report a serious issue. Whether this was a food handling problem or cross-contamination, my experience should have been taken seriously instead of dismissed.
