Great ambiance and service. Food was high quality and delicious! We will definitely be back and will bring some friends!

Well this place is known for live music on the weekend I have yet to have made it out there for that. They do have an incredibly large outdoor shaded seating area so I can only imagine it's amazing. I've been here twice for the fish tacos I had one burrito one time I think it was called onion Hawaiian beef roll or something like that I would skip that it was OK but I would skip that and go straight to the fish tacos get the more expensive ones they taste better. Also disappointed in the nachos they were just kind of a soggy mess nothing to write home about would've been better off just getting tacos instead. The chips don't hold up to the toppings. But live and learn. Staff here has been nice both times I've come in. Ordering is easy you order either at the bar or there's a person at the counter that can take your order and then you sit and wait with a number for your order to come out They do have a nice choice of salsa bar so you can make it hot or not depending on what you like there are jalapeños lines etc. Beer selection was lacking for a bar. Do you want light beer this light beer or a different light beer or an IPA ughhhh no. How about an Amber or something with flavor? All in all it's a cute bar to go to it's not my favorite one for tacos but they are still pretty good even though mine are better at home ha ha read more

Great experience! Half price apps 3-6, and I had a quesadilla for my meal with that. I also got a side of tasty shrimp. I liked the salsa bar with different options available! Attentive service on a weekday at 5pm read more

Wahoo's Fish Tacos - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

This location has PLENTY of seating and a pretty good amount of selection on the menu. Some games are in one of the indoor area. Great spot near the lake and patio dining with lots of trees around. Food was underwhelming, especially their fried fish taco. Carnitas was okay but could be better too. They are an inKind restaurant so we wanted to try em. Onion rings were the best part. read more

Wahoo's is a very casual, eclectic spot with a California coastal vibe. It has a Mexican base, but you can feel other influences mixed in. It's relaxed, unfussy, and easygoing. For an inexpensive place, it's pretty good. The portions were generous, and it works well if you're looking for a quick bite or small plates without spending a lot. What I enjoyed: The enchiladas were my favorite -- very good. The taquitos were also well done and flavorful. I asked for flour tortillas with butter, which they gladly brought out (just make sure to request it). The mango beer was excellent -- definitely a highlight. They offer happy hour drinks, and it wasn't overly busy when I went. They also have a large outdoor patio, which is nice if you enjoy sitting outside. Next door there appears to be more of a biker-style bar atmosphere, which gives the area a very casual, laid-back feel. There was a small mix-up at first -- I ordered a beef enchilada but was given chicken by mistake. However, they handled it properly and didn't charge me for the error, which I appreciated. I didn't try the fish tacos. The only reason is that I had read mixed reviews about the fish beforehand, so I chose other items instead. Overall, it's not fancy dining -- but for the price, the portions, and the relaxed vibe, it's a solid, affordable option. read more

This might compete for the new top happy hour in LT/Four Points. Half off apps and cheap beer and margs, how could you go wrong. They have a handful of different salas to choose from, and plenty of great food options. We ordered the taquitos, spicy fish tacos and mild fish tacos. The mild wahoo was easily the favorite. They had love music on Saturday night (and you don't have to wait till 8pm to listen!). To top it off, they have a huge outdoor stage and kids playset. We'll definitely be back again! read more

Tried Wahoo's Tacos and I'm officially a fan. This is such another great spot for watching games, hanging out with friends, and just vibing for a while. My favorite part? Their living room-style area. Like... how cute is that? Cozy setup with video games, a pool table tucked right next to a fireplace--it actually feels like you're hanging at someone's really cool house. Shoutout to Lux, who was seriously so nice and helpful with our order. Love when great service matches the vibe. Now the food We tried their popular fish taco (for a reason--so good), tortilla soup, quesadilla, and taquitos--everything hit. And we topped it all off with a cocorita, which was the perfect finish. Smooth, refreshing, and exactly what you want with tacos. read more

Found this place while on the way to Lake Travis off 620 and had to turn around and give it a try. It's fairly close to the Mason Dam for reference. Once inside, the beach decor will make you feel like you are at the Texas coast. It's a fun place and it makes for a relaxing time. For service, head to either the bar or the counter. After you order, you will get a table locator tag and then the food is served to you. Quick and simple. I went with the crispy fried flounder protein bowl and wifey settled on the protein bowl with carnitas and chicken. The flounder reminded me of my childhood memories of fish sticks. The bowl insides were good and the fish was just ok. The carnitas bowl was tasty but the chicken was a bit bland. Both dishes are ok if you are looking for an above average meal. We sat inside with our doggie as the place is pet friendly; which ultimately sold us as we were traveling to the lake for the weekend and our furry companion is part of our family. read more

Yeah this place was just okay, Chipotle or Taco Deli are much better options. We had the Carnitas nachos and Chicken quesadilla, I felt like I could make both dishes at home with minimal effort and it would be tastier. It is convenient if you are hungry, the food comes out fast. It's also a nice place for small children as there is a play ground and game room. One thing that would significantly improve the experience is to turn down the music. I'm a concert goer and the music was definitely Gen X, but wow so unnecessarily loud! read more

Very good fish Tacos. The portions were good and the food was fresh and tasty. The Wahoo taco was moist and was complimented nicely by the slaw mix. Nice flavor to the fish. The panko fried flounder taco was equally as tasty. Good portion as well. The accompanying black beans and rice were very good as well. My only criticism was the queso. It was outstanding but the portion size was more of single serving size than a shareable. Need a bigger serving. Love the California beach vibe of the place. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and it looks like they will be doing live music on the weekend. Nice. Service was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. read more

Two words: so gross. These positive reviews are written by delusional gringos. The food is so bland and basic. OMG the salsa...what was that? Not edible. The fish taco has potential but it's paper thin and all breading. Bar service makes weak drinks and spends too much time chit chatting with regulars and flirting with staff your food will come out before your first drink. The outdoor seating is all this place had going for it until they trashed the atmosphere with tacky decor, signs about neighbor feud around t poles, flags, and obnoxious tvs. LT desperately needs a spot but this is not it. read more

Wahoo's Fish Tacos - Outside patio, perfect for lunch! - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

The restaurant has two driveways, with parking available in the back. There's outdoor seating and a stage for live entertainment on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. We visited on a Sunday, so the vibe was calm and relaxed. There's plenty of indoor seating, and we really enjoyed the decor and music. I've been to a quite a few Wahoos in Nor Cal, So Cal and Vegas and this one is by far the nicest. The food was tasty--Mexican cuisine with a fusion twist. Ordering was simple and straightforward. Customer service was excellent. read more

The food was a bomb for me. I got the fish taco and enchilada. With rice and beans. Everything but the fish taco was ok. The fish taco itself, was a long piece. I don't know what fish it came from, but fish should be flaky and break apart. It's almost like a microwave rubbery fish. I didn't eat it. I ate the beans and rice. The enchilada was chicken. And that did have chunks of chicken. But I don't think I'll eat there again. Maybe WakeSurf Saloon food will be better? read more

This is such a great neighborhood spot! I love the casual atmosphere and ample seating. There is a ton of outdoor seating and dogs are welcome. I sat at an outdoor bar for an early dinner one night and had a good evening. We tried queso, street tacos, and a burrito. No complaints on the food, fresh ingredients, plated nicely, came out fast. The burrito was huge. Next door you can play cornhole. They also have many many tvs on the property. read more

Stopped in town because we were looking for a later dinner post a sunset cruise. Didn't initially intend to come to wahoos but really glad we did. There was ample seating indoors and outdoors and the lighting outside was really pretty! The tacos de papa, chipotle salad and burrito were all great and the salsa bar was an added plus. The service was quick and the value for money I would say was also pretty good for a town like Lakeway. The only thing we didn't really like was the quesadilla so we would probably skip that next time. Overall, we really enjoyed and will stop by again next time we're in Lakeway! read more

I'll start by saying this. I never leave negative reviews for any business without thinking things through because I know the impact negative reviews can have, which affect not only the ownership's investment in the business, but also the good hardworking employees. I was excited when I saw Wahoo's opened up in Austin a few miles from my home after being a regular customer at several of their locations in SoCal before moving here in 2020. I read through all of the reviews for this location and there is a consistent pattern of reviews by California transplants who are disappointed overall with their experience at the new ATX restaurant compared with what they were used to having in SoCal. I came by for lunch after my workouts about 2x a week for a couple of months until I saw no improvement in the food quality, customer service, and atmosphere. I'll break down the problems I experienced below, so anyone reading this knows why I haven't been back in several months. - The entrees are significantly smaller in size than what I got at other Wahoo's locations and half of the time, part or all of my entrées came out too cold. - Most of the employees working the register are not properly trained, and I attribute this to a lack of management presence. I don't know about the evenings, but during the day there is only one manager who floats between the three different restaurants that are part of the same ownership group. - After a customer places their order and the employee behind the counter tells you the total, they will flip the payment screen around without telling you they've added a 25% gratuity. You have the option to change it manually, but it's sneaky and can easily be overlooked if someone doesn't look closely at the total, which has been changed after an additional 25% has been added. Keep in mind, this would happen after they would see me put cash in the tip jar as well... Not cool! - The bartenders, or whoever is in charge of the music during the day, play the music at a volume that's way too high. One time, when I could barely hear the employee behind the counter while placing my order during the day, I asked the bartender if he could turn it down because it was impossible to hear the employee behind the counter. He looked at me like I was crazy. And it's not just too loud by the counter area, but also in the rest of the indoor dining rooms. - The final straw for me at this Wahoo's location came when I was ordering at the counter one day and wanted an extra a la carte taco removed from my order when I realized it cost over $8. The employee taking my order at the counter was brand new and the guy helping him told me it was his first day and the guy training him told me he had only been there a week. After about 3 minutes of nothing happening and the line of customers getting longer behind me, I suggested he get a manager or someone else to help them. Another employee who was doing something next to them at the counter, started to walk away, and I asked him if he could help them remove an item from my order. I did not raise my voice and I was being respectful, but he took it upon himself to tell me, 'Just relax!" and put his hand up in front of my face acting like I was some kind of irate customer causing a big scene. It's a shame the people in charge at this location can't figure out how to make things better and unless things change, I doubt this location will survive in Austin... read more

OMG what a cool place. It's 2 places on one. Has a sports bar on one side which is so desperately needed in this area with bar food & another smaller bar (also with many TVs) where Wahoos serves their food. Good drinks, great food, AMAZING ambiance! Don't even hesitate - go check it out! read more

Stopped by Wahoo's for happy hour with friends and had a great experience. The food and drinks were solid. Great happy hour deals. The service and the staff know how to take care of you. And you can't forget about the live music! Plenty of TVs and a large outdoor area where they are building outdoor screens. I'm already planning to come back once the season kicks off to catch some games. It's about time we had a nice go to spot this part of town for a sports + music combo. read more

Wahoo's Fish Tacos - Happy hour menu - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

As an Orange County native, I was excited to see a familiar face in what any discerning eater would consider the food desert that is Lakeway. My memories of Wahoo's in Costa Mesa are some of my favorites, so this was a welcome addition. Service: Friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. Big plus there. Food: Overall, just fine. The tacos are yummy, and the salsas really carry the meal--they don't play around. Chips: Absolutely terrible. Stale, possibly the worst I've had in Austin (and that's saying something given Austin's generally weak chip game). Almost impressive how bad they are. Drinks: Okay. Not great, but serviceable. If you're coming here just to drink, there are better local options. Ambiance: Beautiful property with a nice vibe. But the location is tricky--it's on that bend of 620 that's famous for high business turnover. Overall: It's not the Wahoo's I remember from Wing Lam days (but that's to be expected from a franchise on the comeback trail). Still, I'm rooting for them. Lakeway needs more places like this, and if Jesse really has his heart in it, there's room to grow. read more

My husband and I are addicted to the tortilla soup! We love the staff. The food is simple, delicious, predictable. Great date night spot

Weird service overall. We ordered drinks at the counter and wasn't asked to give an ID until the server came over and asked for them as he's holding our drinks, and then gave advice to "get our IDs updated". Food quality and taste has gone downhill, and there are flys everywhere. read more

Being from SoCal, I was super excited about a Wahoo's opening in our area. Sadly the experience was very disappointing. Food and service was terrible. Waiter seemed bothered by something, and it showed when the drinks were thrown on the table. Had hoped this would be a regular spot to frequent for fish tacos and happy hour. I've had better service and food at Torchy's or Taco Deli! read more

My husband and I had dinner there the other day & I was so impressed! I got the vinaigrette salad & the dressing was SO GOOD. It made the whole salad. Not only was the dressing so good but the salad and veggies were so fresh and that's big for me. My husband got a chicken teriyaki bowl & he said it was so flavorful! We will definitely be back again. The staff was also so nice & helpful even close to closing time! read more

Nothing like Wahoo's in California or even the old Austin spots. The food is inconsistent, served ice cold, and the POS system is a mess. Being called "bro" every 30 seconds doesn't improve the experience, and the salsa is downright awful. On all three visits they've been out of teriyaki sauce--apparently it doesn't "arrive" until 5pm, which is bizarre for a signature menu item. I've kept going back out of nostalgia, but after three strikes, I'm done. read more

I'll keep it simple. Expensive and the food is very low quality. The food had very little flavor.

Wahoo's is exactly what Lakeway needs! Burritos are stellar, service is outstanding, and the ambience is perfect! We've already been four times since it opened and we will keep coming back for more!! 5+ stars!!! read more

We have really been liking these guys as they are close to where my parents live and they have a great happy hour. The fried fish tacos are my favorite. I also really like their spicy white beans. Margaritas are strong and are on happy hour. Pro tip: If you happen to use the inKind app, you can get cash back here. It's nice to see a restaurant other than Hudson Bend over here because that place kept failing. I hope they stay in business. It's a huge restaurant with a ton of seating outdoors and indoors. Probably would be a great place to host a party or get together. read more

I'm from Socal & was so excited about Wahoo Fish Tacos opening. We ordered salmon fish taco plate, wahoo fish taco plate & a spicy burrito. Unfortunately both the salmon & wahoo fish tacos were inedible. Completely limp, tasteless, the server couldn't even figure out whether it was salmon or not. It tasted exactly like frozen fish that was thawed, then microwaved. We couldn't finish our food & had to throw them out. So disappointing! This is a food quality issue that needs to be addressed. read more
