    So I was starving after hiking Whitings and Wahoo's is too convenient given it is at the trailhead. I ordered the kale salad with salmon which is pretty good and I would recommend if you want something healthy. I also had the chicken tortilla soup, which you can totally pass. It was not that great. Casual. Lots of parking. I must have come at a bad time because the restaurant was not busy but the food took forever to come out. For that reason I probably won't be back. Please come and create your own experience.

    This location is in a strip mall next to Starbucks , nail salon and breakfast place. The parking is limited but you can park in the office complex across the street. The menu isn't allergy coded which is a pain. They do have an allergy list you can ask for behind the counter. Everyone at this location was super helpful and friendly. The food was really fresh. I played it super safe and got the salad without the tortilla strips. They even remade me a salad without the strips because I was concerned . Definitely will be back to this location. Not sure if other locations are as helpful.

    Banzai Bowl with carnitas and tofu. Substituted the beans for salad. Absolutely delicious!

    First off, I love Wahoo's Fish Tacos. It has plenty of healthy food options and the sauces are a must try (and then obsess over). Maria's Spicy Green Sauce is my number one go to sauce here. And on to the food... THE FOOD ELABORATION. - Banzai Bowl | Carnitas, banzai vegetables, salad (sub from beans), cauliflower rice (sub from rice). Added marinated tofu for giggles. I felt healthy with this dish. It had a variety of vegetables; some roasted, others raw. The carnitas were shredded and had a slight sweetness to it. I poured some of Maria's Spicy Green Sauce on top and enjoyed this wonderful dish. THE RETURN QUANDARY. Absolutely coming back. I didn't think this place was going to steal my heart the way it did, but here we are.

    $14.00 buritto. Not exactly the most generous I've ever had.

    I ordered my burrito to go at 8:36 pm and when I arrived I was the only person in the place. The person who ordered after me got his food right away as I still waited... Then the next person who ordered after him had his name called with his order being ready. Now that 15 minutes had past, so I asked why my order wasn't up yet. As it turns out my one burrito was inside the 2nd person's to go bag of food...Really...?!?! Pictured below is my $14.00 burrito (with tax), so exactly what am I paying for?!? Certainly it's not the fast service or the generous portions or the level of accomodations that was not afforded me after I had to literally pull my food out of the other customer's order? Next time I will be going to Chipotle - they literally hand you the food as you are ordering it and their portions are quite generous! Oh yeah, and they don't give your food to another customer. thanks wahoo

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet, as I come here at least once a month. It's a step up from fast food Mexican like Taco Bell (lol) but it's certainly not Javier's! Basically you order at the cashier then they'll bring your food to your table if you're dining in. I have several go-to dishes. If I'm not too hungry, I'll get the kids protein bowl which comes with rice beans and your choice of protein for $5.99 (I usually get chicken). It's a decent size bowl and I usually slap some salsa on top to make it complete. The rice and beans are always fresh and the charbroiled chicken is tasty. My second favorite dish is their taquitos for $7.99, which also comes with rice and beans, as well as guacamole and sour cream. This is what I typically get when I'm hungry. And when I'm just down for a smaller meal then I'll get two ala carte charbroiled chicken tacos with slaw. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu, and prices are fairly reasonable. I usually call my order in or place it online. By the time I get there 10 minutes later, it's usually ready. They have a separate line for pick up orders so you don't have to stand in the long line of people waiting to order. If you decide to eat there, they have plenty of comfortable booths and tables inside, as well as a nice little patio outside. On the weekends you'll find lots of bikers who like to hang out there. Service is always fast and friendly. They're located in a small shopping plaza off of Portola Pkwy in Foothill Ranch. Plenty of parking is available. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite to eat!

    I was visiting California and my friend lives in RSM. We initially went to Pick Up Stic but they are out of business. So my 2nd choice was Wahoo's. Sadly they don't have them in Arizona. I got my usual two chicken enchiladas in red sauce with black beans and rice. Delicious.

    Boyfriends go to. The service is quick here and lots of indoor seating which I love. They will bring your food to you if you're sitting indoors and ordering in. There's this green sauce that's delicious! Be sure to take some home to go for your other meals. Almost reminds me of a middle eastern dip with the cilantro.

    I've always loved the 2 enchilada combo because you get to choose between two proteins and types of beans and rice and two different sauce options. The menu changes through the years but that is my go to dish when I come. Service is always great. The food comes out quickly. Very strong branding in this and all stores.

    This place isn't popular enough!…read more We walked here after enjoying a fun day looking at the pet farm, winning some prizes at the fair, and built an appetite! Jack o lantern fair was just a few blocks away but we were craving seafood and we decided on Seafood 1555. Oh my gosh. We shared a steak burrito and two octopus& shrimp tacos & it was grilled to perfection. They also had 7 types of salsa as well as the fresh one they make on site. I mean I need to come back and order again because it's worth it all! Just walk behind the parking lot when you enter the church, it's behind the car repairs. And they make it looks like a farmers market with about 3-4 businesses serving food and desserts :) Service was amazing they asked if we needed any thing and we were the only customers remaining so they were patient and didn't rush us at all. Super kind cook. Pop up chairs, canopies, and beautiful dishes were served. Don't think twice. Go order some stellar seafood tacos today!!

    Seafood 1555 absolutely knocked it out of the park…read more The customer service was truly off the charts--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. You can feel that they care, and it makes the whole experience even better. The shrimp tacos were loaded--generous, fresh, and insanely flavorful. Every bite was satisfying, not skimpy in the slightest, and perfectly balanced. The kind of tacos you think about later and immediately want again. And don't sleep on the chips and salsa. So many places treat it as an afterthought, but here it was very, very good--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. Great food, generous portions, and standout service. Seafood 1555 is a must-visit and an easy recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.

Even though it was 6:15 on a Saturday night, we were able to be sat right away. As soon as we walked in, someone greeted us and showed us to our table. Our server immediately got us waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink (wife and I both got some delicious beers that they had on tap). We had our little one in tow with us and they were so accommodating to him! As soon as we were ready, our server took our order. We got: Chowder "frots" (fries and tots mixed in with some New England clam chowder, bacon, onions, cheese, and other goodies) 10/10, would definitely order again. My wife got the lobster roll with a side of clam chowder. Loaded with lobster, but you do pay the price. Labeled as market price, this was almost $40. Delicious, but not worth it in our opinion. 6.5/10. Pan roast (house specialty which came with shredded crab, shrimp, clams, and muscles). This, topped with rice, was heavenly. Better than any pan roast I've had. Came out ripping hot as it should. My wife was envious of my dish. 10/10 From the kids menu we also ordered the chicken Alfredo. My kid loved it, but my wife and I both had a bite and wow, we would've ordered that for ourselves it was so good. 10/10. We can't wait to come back just for the food. On top of that, however, service was above and beyond. The servers and everyone in the restaurant were so accommodating to us and our child and made us feel so, so welcome. We would come back even if the food was bad, solely for the service we received. Vibes we great, decoration on the walls look like they hired an artist to paint it. They had two TV's behind the bar / prep area that was showing NBA and PGA which I'll never complain about. All around 10/10 experience.

Mac and cheese was a pretty big portion for a kid, really cheesy and rich. Overall pretty good meal and surprisingly pretty affordable considering the cost of seafood. Service was attentive.

We visited the simpler Shang Shui Noodle House(Frank's dumplings and noodles) while the restaurant next door, Shang Shui Bistro(Frank's bistro Chinese cuisine) , focuses more on elevated Hunan and Cantonese dishes. Once we walked in, we could just find a seat and order through the QR code menu. It was convenient since we could take our time looking through the options. We ordered: 1. Roasted Duck Noodle Soup $19.99 2. House Special Fish Fillet Noodle Soup $15.99 3. Pork Knuckle Noodle Soup $16.99 Everything tasted pretty good! I ordered the signature fish fillet noodle soup, which was one of their recommended dishes. My husband thought the fish soup had the best flavor among the three dishes we tried. The portions were just right, and the prices were very reasonable. For the noodles, I would recommend choosing udon or ramen. My husband and our friend chose rice noodles, but they became too soft and broke apart easily when picking them up with chopsticks. After dinner, we stopped by Frank's bistro Chinese cuisine next door to take a look. The interior is much more upscale, and they also use a QR code menu. Most dishes are around $20 and up. We chatted with one of the staff members, who mentioned that they opened in August last year and focus on authentic Cantonese and Hunan cuisine. He was also proud to share that their dishes are freshly prepared, not the typical pre-made food you might find elsewhere. Will definitely come back to try the dishes at Shang Shui Bistro next time.
