I have always loved this place and their food. I guess restaurants are cutting portions because I always get the protein bowl, but tonight I see its about half the size now, no exaggeration. And instead of a bed of peppers, zucchini, broccoli, onions and mushrooms its basically a bed of onions now. Paid extra for spicy salmon, got one strip of salmon. I guess i will not order that again, if i even come back, read more

The food here is usually good. Last time I me I was there the service sucked. Ordered, and said I'd be seated on the patio. They gave me my margarita in a glass and I went to the patio. Waited. Waited. Nothing. Came in and my food was wrapped up Togo. I asked if my food was ready and was directed to a bag of food that had been sitting. Food was cold so I complained. Cook shrugged, turned his back and walked away. Had to ask another person for a plate to put my food on. So I could eat back out to the patio. Won't be back for a while. read more

I am a Wahoo's gal. I worked and lived in the OC for many years... and ate at Wahoo's a lot during my second pregnancy- (Irvine Wahoo' s on Bristol and Wahoo's in Torrance by Del Amo mall----seriously could not get enough of the rice, salsa and black beans with those yummy, flakey, seasoned de-lish-ous tacos..OMG good! rolling of eyes..... So I ask you what the heck is going on at the New Wahoo's in Temecula? There are no lines at lunch time, no cramming to get a table or the mad rush to be the first in line...but the food, is awesome. Temecula not heard of Wahoo's? GOOD! leaves more for us loyla Wahoo'ers...... Must have been an off day for the last reviewer who got bad taco..... All I can say is I waited impatiently for the Temecula place to open and I have eaten there at least dozen times, even my litle one hankers for some fish tacos, so its off we go. Price is way reasonable because we have such a tight budget, so eating out is planned, but Wahoo's Is well with reason and the two taco platter is the way to go. The onion rings are so good --now I am a french fry gal (see red robin review) but I dig me an order of the onion rings here. You can do the Wahoo bowl or Kahuna Burrito.. but the ahi rice and beans 1/2 & 1/2 is a family favorite with extra tacos on the side-- my kids would drink the salsa if they could get away with it. Its just fresh and zsingy and has enough kick that makes the fish tacos pop! Its on Overland and Margarita stop off tonight on your way home, ya I know your tired after your commute -aren't we all, but order up a few combos for the family to share and get a a great fast, fresh dinner that is healthy not fried. Everyone should eat more fish Wahoo's is the place to do it. Aloooooooooha! Frankly I can't remember if it has outdoor seating cuz most of them do, but I am pretty focused on just getting in to eat when I am there. sorry. As for Romance no not really, but hubby and I do enjoy going there on our date nights for early dinner before movie so - romance is what u make it folks! read more

This salad was off the hook. It had like 15 shrimp on it. Green pepper dressing was excellent. read more

One star is too much for this place. I ordered through grub hub and twice I have gotten a big black hair in my food when delivered. The chefs at Wahoo's need to wear hair nets so customers don't end up with big black hairs in their mouth!!! Wahoo's would not send me a replacement meal either. I guess they don't care. I will not go there again!! read more

I went for the first time to Wahoo's in Temecula, was excited to have a fish taco like I used to eat in encenada, Mexico since this is what I thought they advertised when first opened one up, anyway it was the worst I've ever eaten...was soggy, looked like a fish stick with no taste and no creama! Get better tortillas & fry your fish with tempora batter with creama like Mexico does. read more

I love all of the Wahoo's and this one was just as good as the first one. The fish tacos were to die for. I also tried the Shrimp enchilada and wow was that good. I would recommend Wahoo's to anyone that wanted a great lunch or dinner. The place has the best food around by far... As far as the service, again, the best out there and very friendly. The manager came by to insure your satisfaction and that you were enjoying your dinner. Where else does this happen?? In closing I would hope everyone had a chance to experience the great food and service that Wahoo's delivers constantly... read more

Came here on the drive to our friends and wanted to try a new place out. The atmosphere was nice and the speed of the service and food was ok. I ordered the Otter Burrito w/ Carnitas and a fish taco (because it says it in the name of the place) and my girlfriend ordered the Chicken Salad. The burrito was ok, and the fish taco did not have that much flavor. The salad my girlfriend ordered hardly had greens and the flavor was nothing to brag about. Most likely will not come here again read more

Wow. Food is AMAZING and customer service is top notch. We ordered fish tacos, fries and taquitos (darn kids) and spicy jalapeño margaritas and everything was really good. And the portion sizes were just right. Oh, and those spicy white beans? THE BEST! I've never been to a Wahoo's but I'm so glad I tried this place out. This might be our new weekly night out dinner spot. read more

Went in today after a long day of donating blood and had never been to Wahoo's before. Was greatly greated by Robbie at the cashier and helped thoroughly guide us thru the options of the menu. Recommended great choices and we loved the food. Service was great and because of Robbie I will be back soon! read more

Great food, but the experience is lacking. Ordered food waited, I'm the only person besides someone else that received their food in the building. I'm looking at the cashier watching the TV and then looking at the cook clean the kitchen. I walk up to the counter and the cashier asks if I needed anything I said I am just waiting for my food. The cashier walks over to the cook and asks her if she was cooking my food. I believe that is when she started cooking my food because all she was doing before that was cleaning. I understand if Wahoo's was busy but not when it was slow. Come one Wahoo's I know your better then that!!! read more

Second time at Wahoo's, the shrimp taco has become my favorite shrimp taco anywhere. Had the enchiladas, they were very good, I had them with mix and match red and green sauces because that was the suggestion of the cashier, and they did not disappoint! Wahoo's will now become a mainstay in my weekly lunch stable. Can't wait to come back. read more

I saw this restaurant business on undercover boss and was dying to try their food, ESPECIALLY when it says fish tacos in the name. I ordered two fish tacos (didnt know they weren't battered) with brown rice n black beans. I want to love their food but i had to admit that it was bland. Even the salsa was bland. They have indoor/outdoor seating. Walls are covered with stickers...don't know if I like but it didn't bother me...just different. Oh the food tasted fresh, just bland as mentioned and they came out fast. Seem liked it was five mins of wait time only. 2 stars for food and the good service bumped it up to a 3-star rating. read more

Yes!!!! They have vegan options. So happy. I got the Banzai's bowl. Was going to get the burrito but didn't want the extra carbs so I went with the bowl. I got tofu of course for choice of protein and It comes with broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, some other veggies I forget and of course black beans and brown rice. I think their white rice has butter in it so the brown rice it was and man was their brown rice good. So satisfied and the flavors were just amazing! Definitely glad I found this place! Kind of reminds me a little of Rubio's Mexican grill. But better. Ha read more

Wahoos is amazing! I love their fish tacos, been coming here for a long time in Colorado. Went to this one in Temecula and they upheld my expectations. There fish is really good and good quality. The decor is really cool with stickers everywhere, I really enjoy sitting down and eating inside. read more

Been coming to this location for years and the employees are always super friendly and helpful. The food is delicious! I'm bummed they took chicken taquitos off the menu, but always a great dining experience regardless. I think Covid mandates made it difficult for patrons to really enjoy the experience for a while which was frustrating, but not Wahoo's fault. Everything seems back to normal now and I'm so glad. read more

Food was fresh and tastes great. Service was friendly and fast. We look forward to coming again.

Came here randomly with my girlfriend, the vibes where chill as heck when i walked in, not alot of people lots to look at, i ordered 1 crispy fish taco just to try it and it blew my effing taste buds off my tongue, it was so effing good, so i ordered 3 more. The cashiers where really nice too, one of the girls complimented my gfs makeup, she was so nice. Will deffinately be back for some beers n more tacos read more

Great option for lunch or dinner. Delicious food, kid friendly. A bit pricey but worth it! My favorite is 1988 shrimp tacos!! Cilantro sauce is amazing... read more

From Wahoos' website: Mexican/Brazilian/Asian menu and a Hawaiian north-shore vibe. I hate to call Wahoo's Mexican food because the 'Mexican' label conjures visions of pasty re-fried beans and dry orange rice. Not Here! Cajun Fish tacos with cabbage and creamy green cilantro sauce (sauce is non fat, no charge, by request) served with lime infused white rice and black beans. Add some fresh made salsa with just a hint of soy. A frequent order - Chicken Burrito ordered WET STYLE with green sauce. A la carte unless you're really hungry for the white rice and beans. The burritos are kind of dry unless you order then covered in red or green sauce and cheese. Absolute favorite, Wahoo chicken salad with extra green cilantro dressing. Creamy dressing - fresh - no fat. Xtra fresh dark mixed greens, no iceberg lettuce, tomato, guacamole, cheese, tortilla strips. YUM! Be sure to ask for a knife cause the greens could use a little cutting. On a cold day, split the salad and get a bowl of tortilla soup. Homemade - at least it's not from a tub-o-soup concentrate. You can tell someone cooked it from scratch on site. Well seasoned broth, chicken, fresh carrots, cabbage, salsa and seasoning. I always get a bay leaf. I'm either lucky or it's part of the dressing. Fantastic Service!!! Part of the Wahoo's training as I've witnessed it at every store. Very personal and accommodating. Always a thank you and goodbye as you leave. Great healthy alternative to fast food for the family (and for me since ma famille don't seem to be packin on the pounds the way I do.) read more

I LOOOOOVE me some Wahoo's!!!! I'm glad they opened one in Temecula!! Went here a couple weekends ago with my mom and I had the chicken tortilla soup that wasn't quite as good as my mom makes but it was pretty close. We also had the appetizer wraps and those are the bomb diggity!! Their fish tacos are what they are known for and for a great reason!! Very fresh, delicous and fairly priced. read more

Food was good, very filling. Got it for free $10 voucher given at valley view casino.

Came back thanks to Jake S. I had the Son of a Classic Burrito with fish...hold the cheese. It was extremely tasty. While I do love the banzai veggies like no other, the slaw in this burrito was excellent as well as the salsa, its spicy but not too hot, just a little kick to play off the citrus in the slaw. As always, the service was wonderful and I love that you can enjoy a much needed cold one with your excellent meal. I still asked for a side of the green sauce (no clue what it is but I do know that angels crafted this stuff so of course its amazing). If you go please do yourself a favor and order a side of this pure amazingness! The atmosphere is really cool and the staff and service is always friendly, helpful and nice which helps you with menu and makes for an excellent experience. I love never getting bored looking around at the stickers inside too. There is a patio outside also so I'm bringing the pooch next time. I had the regular fish but I want to come back for a banzai bowl with salmon since now they have salmon on the menu too! I love this place and I am so bummed I don't work around the corner anymore because I went here religiously. Thanks again Wahoo's and Jake for making my tummy and me both super satisfied...see you soon!!! read more

I've been here a few times now since I found out they had vegan options, but my most recent was the best! Kyra was my cashier/ bartender and helped me place my order. I got the tacos with bonsai veggies, Cajun beans, and brown rice. My food and drink came out very quickly, I was checked on, and was thanked as I was walking out. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

this is the best place ever great burritos and super yummy also i would like to say this is the best place ever great burritos and super yummy. read more

The only thing here id consider Mexican is their fish tacos, chips, salsa and guacamole! The rice and beans here are much healthier then regular Mexican food and the atmosphere is that easy, laid back yeah I'm a surfer attitude! I love it. The walls are filled with stickers and the feel is surfer slash skater place. A calm environment to be in definitely! My favorite dish here is the well lets see I have many.....haha Appetizer chips salsa and guac....yummy starter 1st the Polynesian Shrimp its the No.12 bowl Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Good! 2nd dish I eat is the Banzai bowl No.11 3rd dish I like the teriyaki bowl or No.1 Maui bowl ( btw I don't eat these all in one sitting my rule is to switch off everytime I go in and someday ill change it up a bit....lol) as it says on their menu my gosh I'm getting hungry I get the black beans and the ahi rice is so moist and tender not the regular greasy spanish rice you usually get at a Mexican restaurant. If your ever near a Wahoos stop by and try one out I know they have one in Temecula, Encintas and La Jolla those are the locations Ive been to and all seem to have the same great service and the taste never alters from one location to the next!! read more

This review is purely about customer service. I tired to order for pick up on Grubhub and it appeared they no longer take orders that way. Then I decided to call in the order. I called 3-4 times over a 10 minute period. No answer. I went in and ordered an told the cashier about the issue. He didn't seem too interested in the issues I was running into with the take out order. I even showed him my attempted calls and confirmed the phone number and still, not a care in the world. I must admit, the food is good here and the cashier is not responsible for the phone issues. But a little investment in customer concerns or complaints goes a long way. Definitely didn't display that here. Are you ever going to get online ordering going via the company website? Makes life easier and quicker when picking up a family dinner. read more

I've been to Wahoo several times over the years but I never found the right "fit" that made me want to eat there more than every once in awhile. Then while on my latest vow of "I gotta eat healthier," a friend suggested we eat at the one in Temecula last Thursday. I had no objection, I always liked the freshness of their food. My friend ordered the grilled wahoo bowl with white rice and black beans and I followed suit. Wow. Large portions, tasty and healthy :) It was actually more than I could finish, so when I told the gal who checked on us that I didn't want to wrap it up because I was going shopping, she said they also had a kids size that is about half the size. Good to know. So yesterday when my hubby asked what I wanted for lunch, I ordered the kids size wahoo bowl but this time I went with the cajun white beans. It gave the dish a good "kick." I also want to give compliments to the staff at the Temecula Wahoo, they were very friendly and helpful. May have to go there again today! read more

A great place to stop for a burrito whenever heading out from SD to/from the mountains. The food Is consistently good like every Wahoo's, love the veggies in their Banzai 'ritos. Here's why The Binch gives this place 5 stars though, the service is excellent! From the smiling girl behind the counter asking how your day went to the busboy, it's rare to get this level of courtesy in a chain restaurant. Makes a big difference when returning to civilization after a multi day backpacking trek. Whatever the owner does to motivate the employees, keep it coming, and I'll keep coming back! read more

My husband and I came here on a nice, warm Sunday afternoon and sat on the patio. I had the salmon tacos with a mango margarita and he had shrimp nachos with a Pacifico. It was such a nice atmosphere! They were playing chill rock (everything from Sublime to Blink 182 to today's music) it wasn't too crowded and the food was delicious. We've been to many Wahoo's Fish Tacos and this one did not disappoint. Looking forward to going back! read more

I've been wanting to try Wahoo's for a while and I finally got to try it last night. Ordered: Chicken Teriyaki Bowl - The Chicken was in cube form which was unexpected because I eat chicken all the time and that's really not how its supposed to look like. The flavor of the teriyaki was only so-so. The white rice was on the dry side. I won't be buying this again. Kalua Pork Bowl - I usually order this in the authentic way on the Big Island. I have also tried L&L's and Ono Hawaiian. The Wahoo's version is the worst version I have tasted. I wanted to spit it out. But unfortunately, I had to swallow it. I will NOT be ordering this ever again as well. 2 Carne Asada Tacos - It was very simple. Beef strips. A little cheese. Some greens on the top. The meat was tough and dry. NO FLAVOR at all. Won't get this again either. OVERALL: I was very disappointed because I really wanted to like this place. Sadly, it wasn't even close to being mediocre. I hope that I can find something that I like in this place. I will try one more time and order what they are known for next time. Maybe it will be different next time. read more
