First trip & definitely won't be the last! Super helpful staff guiding us through ordering...including margaritas on Sunday at Happy Hour prices! I had a fried fish taco with an order of onion rings. Sooooo tasty! The fish was pretty battered, but was good. The slaw in the taco added a nice balance of textures. OMG...the onion rings are my faves! I'll definitely be craving those soon. We also ordered a bowl with rice, black beans, and spicy chicken. Add in some sauce of your choosing and it was a huge serving. Easily could have been split, along with the onion rings. Fun, casual Cali atmosphere with stickers everywhere. There are a couple of outdoor patios, but unfortunately there was a sewer smell (no fault of Wahoo's), so we sat inside. The staff was very helpful & focused on ensuring we had all our needs recovered. We will be back!!! read more

It had been years (before COVID) since I had been to Wahoo's in Boulder, so I decided to go there today. It was as good, if not better, than I remember it. The staff was friendly and the food was just what I was craving. I ordered the double protein bowl with shrimp and blackened fish. The salsas were not as good as I was hoping, but that was fine since the flavor was good without it. It was a bit pricy. I think I paid ~$20 with tip, but my meal could have easily fed two maybe even three people. I was there around noon on a Wednesday. There was only one person ahead of me, so I got in and out pretty quickly and took my food to go. Next time, I will ask someone to come with me and maybe share a meal or just order a taco or two :) read more

Really great crispy fish taco! Husband loved his ceviche tostadas. They took our order at counter and brought food to our table. read more

Wahoos has been serving the most incredible chicken tortilla soup for many years. It's a super healthy option (without the cheese) like homemade, with generous chunks of white meat chicken, carrots, brown rice, and an super flavorful fat free broth topped with fresh avocado and tortilla chips. It's the most delicious and healthiest fast food meal I've ever had! read more

Ordering was easy and staff was friendly. My husband enjoyed the grilled shrimp tacos. He said there was no skimping on the ingredients. Numerous shrimp on each taco. My salad was good but not great. I liked all ingredients but the chicken. It tasted more like it was frozen, then cooked and not fresh. If I return, I will grab something other than chicken. Chips and salsa were tasty. read more

Food was good... Came home and looked at my receipt notice that they put a 5% service charge on my credit card. I did not notice any signs. Perhaps it's my fault and the person at the cash register did not mention that's the case. And then they also want a tip! read more

Have been curious about this place for a long time, driven by hundred times. For some reason never stopped, probably because it's a hard to get to location. Today decided to stop by on our way to a concert. I guess I just don't get the theme or the place. Overpriced small street tacos is my take. Coming from Texas I'm just not impressed. Counter service order. Since I've lived in Texas, the first judgment is the chips and salsa. Well the chips were Stale, so I didn't want to try the salsa. I will say good guacamole but small portion. The tacos were just average to me. The Crispy was pretty good. The rest just average. I did like the surf decor but for me just done get it related to a street taco shop. I should probably investigate the history of the place before passing judgement. I just prefer the Texas taco shops better. I mean I've had street tacos on the streets of San Diego with fresh handmade tortillas. This is not that or close to the Texas tacos. Not trying to be mean. It was not my preference read more

Great service, friendly staff, this place is always clean and the food is amazing! Can't go wrong, highly recommended :)

Always hits the spot, best rice & black beans around. Fish enchiladas with green sauce, cheese quesadillas for the kid, chips & salsa & a new drink cup to take home! Great service. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Fish enchiladas with green sauce! - Mexican Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Wahoo's is awesome... is it okay to start with that? The restaurant is right off of busy 28th street in Boulder, but shares a gigantic lot with tons of other businesses, so parking hasn't ever been an issue for us. If this is your first visit to this particular location, then I'd suggest paying close attention to your GPS, as there may be a more convenient way to get into this place than the good 'ol satellites suggest... I'll leave that up to you, though. I've been multiple times, and have enjoyed each of my visits to the Boulder location (the joint down near Bass Pro Shops, unfortunately, isn't as great, in my opinion). The vibe is super chill, the people at the counter are always friendly and especially patient (mostly with me because their whole fricken menu looks delish to me, and my boyfriend knows what he wants pretty quick), and the decor is rad. The menu is kind of overwhelming for me... but there are so many yummy options, and sooo many things ending up looking like the picture perfect image of what I'm feeling at the time. It is absolutely straightforward, though, and the staff are easy to talk to and ask questions to, so narrowing the choices down is actually a pretty smooth process. Unless, of course, you're not like me, and can choose the one thing you're craving with ease! As of late, my choices have been the Wahoo bowl with grilled wahoo and black beans/brown rice, or the combo plate with a carnitas enchilada (or classic wahoo taco), black beans/brown rice. I'm stoked to have the chance to continue to try more of their menu; everything is always super fresh and yummy - it's a wonder were in CO and not on a coast!! That said, I'd totally recommend this place to any of you peeps looking for a chill atmosphere and a belly full of happiness. read more

Can't believe after 20+ they removed Baja Rolls from the menu. Been getting them every week for decades. I guess it was a good run, but what a terrible decision. read more

Great fish tacos ... speedy service. Always opt for the green sauce and tons of gluten free options. Really been enjoying the taco special on Thursday nights. Keep up the great work read more

Great fish tacos. Service was not the greatest. Took a while to get our food and the waitress did not seem to know what to do. Food was really good though. Liked how there was plenty to eat and how you get a spare tortilla with every taco. California beach vibe feel to the decor and music. Had the 1988 taco and the crispy taco. Both were good! read more

The man taking my order seemed very capable. I ordered a fried fish taco, a grilled fish taco, fries and a Pepsi. I look at the screen to pay and it's missing a taco. No biggie. I repeat what I want and pay. Tacos are brought to me and there are no fries. I finish the tacos and ask for a refund for the fries as I look in the kitchen and everyone looks confused about french fries. He said he didn't charge me for the fries (total was $19 though?) because he thought well I'm not sure what he thought. Simply a painful transaction. Food was ok. Not sure how the fries are lol. Oh and I checked the receipt when I left and was indeed charged for fries so I had to go back for my few shekels. Now there was a line which I had to wait in. Ugh. Can't find good help these days I guess. Shrug. read more

Jillian is absolutely fantastic. Wahoos better recognize before another employer snatches her up ;)

So. I have been to Denver and Boulder several times and this is a fun little spot. Reminds me of the west coast chain Surf Taco only more/better flavor. Had the guy who works here just order my meal. He got me the enchilada and taco plate with beans and rice. Really surprising how good it was but maybe I was just not expecting much. All in all. This is one of my new little quick stops every time I'm in the Boulder area. read more

We used to eat at Wahoos every week or so when we lived in Denver. I was so grateful to pass another one, and enjoy their California burritos. Some of the best on the planet! read more

I just tried this place and let me tell you; they have horrible seasoning skills at this place. This feels like one of those places that would be on the verge of a makeover on a Gordon Ramsey show. Customer service was great, no complaints here, but the tacos where the driest tacos I've ever had... they don't have any sauce! On a fish taco! No sauce can you believe that? Two taco tortillas for what? Make it more dry? This place can't even make rice and beans correctly, they where seasoned so bad I couldn't even eat it! All I got was a burrito and 4 small tacos and the total came out to $45!! If you like food that is only eatable If you're drunk? Look no further! But if you're like me that loves food don't go here. This place will dry your wallet and your tacos and then send you off with old lemons! read more

They have the biggest fish tacos in town and they have a fresh salsa and pico bar where you can add all the toppings you want!

Wahoo's is a local favorite, everybody in town loves to swing by and pick up their favorite tacos, burritos, or bowls and hang out casually with their friends or even meet new ones. For folks that are feeling more adventurous, Wahoo's has a great local beer selection, and even better onion rings! Whenever I'm in town I always take extra effort to make sure I swing by Wahoo's... and I live here! 5/7, would recommend! read more

Was Feening for some Tasty Tacos! That were fresh & affordable. Can't believe I drive past this place all the time because it was Really Awesome! Got a burrito & my Gf got the Combo plate. Everything came out fresh, perfect, colorful. And the Wahoo Fish was Amazing! Give these guys some business for lunch, definitely coming more often! read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Combo Plate #2, Outer Turf Burrito didn't make it to the photo shoot - Mexican Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I had never been here before in spite of the fact I love fish tacos. The place was very busy but I was able to place my order in a timely manner. You order at the friendly front counter, take a number placard and find a place to sit and they bring the food out to you. I ordered the # 2 combo which is 2 tacos, rice and beans, I ordered 1 grilled fish taco and 1 Cajun fish taco and of course a beer. It only took about 5 minutes for the food to be delivered to the table. My fish tacos were pretty good but the grilled fish taco was my favorite, the black beans and rice are the standard fare. Everyone working there was friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The place was busy and very noisy but kind of a cool layout. I will be returning to enjoy fish tacos next time I have a reason to visit Boulder. read more

We go here probably 2-4x a month. We love Wahoos. They have the best fish tacos, Cajun style is great if you like the spice! My kiddos love it and the quality of food is really great! read more

Tables were dirty, food was not well prepared and tasted gross. Dont eat here it is awful!

My beef bowl was more black beans than rice and beef! More than half the bowl was beans! Poor valve for the cost! read more

I was so excited when I drove past this place while in Boulder. I went to one in Laguna Beach while on another vacay and it was so good! We came in for lunch and the gentleman behind the counter was so friendly and welcoming. Our food came out hot, fresh and delicious. I had a chimichanga with pork- yum! Wish they had these in Florida. Definitely recommend. read more

Classic Fish Tacos. Probably the pioneer in the Denver area. I love that I can choose from black or delicious white beans. I frickin' love that I can choose from white, brown, or vegan cauliflower rice. My favorite combination is the salmon, white beans, and cauliflower rice. Their green sauce is unique and stellar. They have smothered options. You can choose from Tacos, burritos, and bowls with the same combinations of proteins (choose from 6) and accoutrements. Cool stickers plaster the walls. Southern California surfing vibe. Margaritas and 4 beers on tap. Love this place. read more

The presentation of the food when it's brought to your table is lovely. I had the chicken taquitos and they were just as yummy as the presentation. The bed of onions and salad it came on was pretty great too. When you head to the bathroom, take your time and read all the stickers. It's part of the fun. read more

I had a really good experience here. My server Jillian was very polite and helpful while I was ordering and made everything very clear. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very upbeat and friendly. I ordered the outer reef burrito with green sauce. The BOMB. 10/10 would recommend. read more

They have **REALLY** raised the prices. A Fish bowl, a Fast Break burrito smothered and one Diet Coke, cost $29.25! Seriously? Wahoo, I know you're proud of your food and sales receipts are down because of the pandemic, but this is not the way to fix that problem. There too many options in Boulder that are as good or better and charge a lot less. I won't be back. P.S. The service was really slow. read more

Tastes like dish soap. Save your money and get a real street taco from a food truck. Terrible and bland and not containing one spice whatsoever. read more

My partner and I have had the pleasure of eating chimichangas from Wahoo's twice -- once through doordash, and again last night. I was a little surprised to learn they're a chain because the food seems high quality, but perhaps they have great supply chain management or buy locally. By no means is this place authentic Mexican, but it's delicious fast food. The chimichangas are crispy fried burritos smothered in "spicy" red sauce, ranch (?!?!?), and queso. I'm not a big ranch lover but its taste basically fades into the background when mixed with the sauce, so it passes for me. They're filled with your choice of protein (fried flounder all the way!), choice of beans, and choice of rice. I generally don't like burritos that are just carb/protein/legume, but I'm giving Wahoo's a pass here because the queso and red sauce work. Probably will need to add veggies inside next time. It'd also be nice if they had salsas available at a condiments station. Overall, we enjoy Wahoo's as a reliable, tasty, fast food joint. read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Two and a half stars, first time at this chain. Parking in the shared plaza lot, bathroom shared with adjacent salon. Outdoor patio seating, plus plenty inside. Service is efficient. I liked the beer battered shrimp tacos that were on special (lightly coated, slaw not overdressed, peanut sauce on the side for a nice punch of flavor) more than the grilled wahoo taco, and definitely more than the overcooked Cajun salmon taco. Broken white rice was enjoyable and lightly seasoned, black beans were standard. Limes were fresh, salsa was average. Would be willing to check out the scream'n burrito, kalua pig bowl, banzai burrito, baja rolls, Maui onion rings. read more

I love this place! But my wife and kids aren't so fond of it so I rarely get to go. It's a chain restaurant but it's consistently good and you know what you are in for each time. You order at the counter and then take a number and they bring the food to your table. I usually get a chicken bowl with there fantastic green, cucumber kinda sauce (I really don't know what it is - I guess it's their secret sauce). read more

Wow! This place is a gem! Great atmosphere to hang out with friends. The food is delicious and the specialty is their fish. I got the protein platter with the same fish choice (Cajun and grilled). Will come back here tomorrow again read more

Wahoo! What a great find! We checked this place out for a quick lunch and a drink and loved it! Cauliflower rice, brown rice, and white rice option!? Nice. Love the surfing California vibe too. The enchiladas were delish and so were the local beers on tap. If you want to take a friend out for a casual, fun lunch and not break the bank this is your spot! Thanks! We'll be back! read more

I love this place, partly because I like the fish dishes. My favorite thing is the paleo platter. It comes with 2 protiens and I usually get salmon and shrimp. I ate it regularly when I was losing weight. read more

Here's the update. They invited me back and I had a carne asada burrito with red sauce and it totally changed my mind. This thing was very filling and I was very pleasantly pleased. I reluctantly allowed my buddy to get a bite and he wished he had ordered the same dish. Now you know. read more
