We used to live down here and Wahoos was the place to go. Finally got to take our family and it was a big hit. Fresh food in a clean location covered in classic stickers. Our kids loved it. I ended up getting the chicken bowl and added lettuce and extra pico. Yum! They cook the brown rice perfectly (unlike the Fullerton location who used to argue with me that brown rice was supposed to be crunchy). Everyone cleaned their plate. Very good food. Clean bathrooms. Kind and honest staff. We will definitely come back here again. The chips and guacamole are really good. read more

Great fish salad during this Covid19 scare! Fresh & big chunky fish filled my tummy. I love the home made sauce that goes with the salad, not the standard supermarket dressing. This location feels very homey. Nice hangout place after Covid for sure ! read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Fresh chunky fish salad !!! - Mexican Near Me - Orange, California

Disappointed quality of fish tacos and black beans. Tortillas seemed stale, black beans undercooked and salsa was off. Mediocre at best. Usually satisfied with my meals... c'mon Wahoos! read more

Most of the things at Wahoos tend to fall sort of flat for me, though I've always appreciated a place that combines Mexican food with grilled veggies. But since adding the paleo bowl to their menu, I find myself going a few times a week for quick takeout. Two proteins, grilled veggies and slaw, and a sub black beans instead of avocado. Makes for a great and super healthy dinner read more

This place is one of my favorite places to dine relaxing atmosphere nice collection of soft drinks inviting staff plus I can't get enough from there salmon enchiladas Don't forget to download there app they always give u free coupons with it read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - My fav dish I usually order it with white rice and red sauce, Also ask for there green sauce it compliments the sea food very well - Mexican Near Me - Orange, California

Hawaiian burrito is everything here!!! Amazing :) I had some fish tacos here also that were not as good. Go with the burrito!

I love Wahoo's! The idea of putting together Hawaiian with Mexican with a dash of Cajun was genius. My good-looking assistant and I finally made it to this location today. So, basically they spent like a million dollars completely remodeling the location, a beautiful old house, and when you walk inside you would not notice because it looks like every other Wahoo's. Okay?! I got a Maui bowl. The steak was good, the seasoned brown rice tasty and the cajun white beans were awesome. One problem I have however is how stingy they are with their rice and beans. These must cost them a few pennies and they act like they are giving you caviar or their first born child. (-1 star) The only negative part of this location (which is not Wahoo's fault) is the parking is indeed a clusterf***. Yelpers who have subtracted stars because of this have to understand that this is the Orange Circle and it is inherently busy. We parked behind the place off of Lemon at the American Legion parking lot, which is probably frowned upon but, hey f*** it, nobody was around, the lot was empty and we were in a hurry. The other two lots were full and besides it was super easy getting into Wahoo's from the back. Wahoo's is also based in Orange County so when you eat here you're supporting a local business, which is always cool. read more

Best Wahoos i've been to. Great staff, clean, fast, consistent. read more

Liked that it's in a older house/building in downtown Orange. Very large inside and outside. Bad side? The parking is horrible.

I remember when us Orange residents first were told a Wahoos was going to open in the Circle. I thought, "It can't be! This is too good to be true!" So when it finally opened, I felt like Christmas had come early. I've been a fan of Wahoos in general for a long time. Their food is always delicious and fresh. This particular Wahoos gets my vote for Best Wahoos Location though (yes I just assigned myself official award-giving privileges). After a not-so-stellar experience at Gabbi's in the Circle a few nights ago, Wahoos put it to shame and for much less of my hard-earned money. The staff was super friendly and attentitve (I think every one working greeted us at least once). I ordered my usual: the Two Enchiladas combo with red sauce, black beans and brown rice (their brown rice is some of my favorite from any restaurant). It was piping hot and perfectly seasoned and I chowed down on every last bite. The restaurant itself is probably one of the largest Wahoos (if not THE largest). Plenty of room to sit inside and a great outdoor patio area complete with heaters and a very cool fire pit at the front for those crisp California winter evenings. Some people dream of being rich or making it big in Hollywood. I dream of having a Wahoos within walking distance. Thank you for making my dream come true, Wahoos. read more

Decent spot for a good plate or Mexican-inspired dishes focused around seafood. Very affordable, so thats always good, and they have some good menu choices that offers quite a bit of variety. The burritos are good here, thats usually what I get, with bonzai veggies for added flavors and nutrients. They also have carne asada and chicken if you don't like seafood. I use to hate their tortillas butt they're recently changed them to a better ones. The outdoor seating is nice near the orange circle, clean area with Linx right next door! The also serve your food at your table and the staff is always very friendly. read more

Good location, cool place, very spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Neat historic landmark for a Wahoo's! Service is friendly and very efficient. Food is good, although personally, I think they give too much rice and beans and not enough of the main course. Cool overall. read more

Great food and location.. in the heart of orange! Yes, this will be our go to place now

Pretty much every Wahoos location has decent food, in particular their fried fish tacos. This location has a cool decor and the exterior looks like a beach house which is different from a lot of other places. It's very close to a ton of other shops and restaurants at the Orange Circle as well. read more

Two stars for the food. Zero stars for the service. I called my order in for pickup and still waited there 20 mins. All because the girl behind the counter decided to ignore me and put my order under the counter, instead of call my order number...grrrrr I am still mad and this happened two weeks ago. Oh and the parking situation is also horrible at this location. I think I will continue to drive to the Tustin location better. Sorry Wing this location might be your biggest headache. But, I still love your food. read more

I am a HUGE Wahoo's fan. I eat there at least once a week (Usually the Long Beach one). We had family from out of town and never had a fish taco before (she's from Ecuador). We took her here instead of the Fullerton one that we went to before just to say we have been to three different ones. We were so bummed that we did! My wife and I got our usuals: Bonzai Bowl, no beans, brown rice, Grilled Fish and Shrimp add on and a Fish Taco combo. Both were dry, flavorless, veggies were burned and mushy and my rice was WAY undercooked (still hard). First time EVER I did not clean my plate. I was REALLY turned off by this location. read more

Food is alright, I guess I can say. Not the best. I got the Baja Ladas! It's nice that they let you choose both sauces instead of just green or red. They're both good, green was my favorite. It's decently priced and quick service- at least in the evenings. read more

Really gone downhill. When I first moved to OC I went to a wahoos in another location and thought it was good so I was excited to hear that we were going to have one by our house in orange. The first time we went to this location, we noticed it wasn't what it used to be. We tried it again a few months later and thought the same. Just this past Sunday evening my wife and our friend went to wahoos because our normal taco shop was closed. When we got our food, both my wife's food and our friends enchiladas were cold and the salsa we got was frozen. I just got onion rings which were barely warm. The next day, both my wife and our friend had stomach issues. Stay away from this wahoos, if not to avoid the mediocre food, than at least for your health. read more

It gets kinda crowded for lunch, but I love this place. A nice place to relax and enjoy a drink. At one point I ate here every day for like a month. Never got tired of it. read more

Since moving my State Farm agency to the historic Orange Plaza about 3 months ago, I've eaten here at least 30 times and always a fantastic experience!

Wahoo yahooooo! You have been to Wahoos, just maybe not this one. Love the new place. The food is always fresh and good and the people are awesome. Love the outside fire place. Way to go Wahoo at the Circle in Orange. Now go to the Pakua place on the corner and work out!! read more

I have been going to Wahoo's for a many years but I have to address the "Maui Bowl item" as this has happened several times at the Orange, Tustin, and Yorba Linda locations. Why does the beef look dull if you order the item on non-busy hours such as I did at 8:30pm this past Saturday evening 6/7/14? The only time it has the deep marinated taste is around lunch or dinner time. The Maui Bowl meat was horrible tonight and I gave it to my dog which was a waste of my time and money. P.S. I am not the only one that has this complaint which I found below. Also the extra salsa I received was frozen. Very poor experience. Another Customer- I always get the Maui bowl at all the Wahoos I go to. Their wahoo bowl doesn't taste the same as others. A little disappointed. Doesn't have that sweet teriyaki taste.

Wow the toughest part is choosing what to eat! It's all so amazing and healthy! Excellent prices and such a cool staff. All wrapped up in Surf and Rock atmosphere. Come, eat and repeat. Bring friends and share smiles. read more

Honestly, I read all the reviews for the orange locations and was so excited to get some fish tacos. Maybe expectations were to high because I was disappointed by the experience. I ordered two Fish tacos flame grilled, the fish was really dry and overstuffed my taco the seasoning also tasted off. Maybe I just went on a bad day, I have had great experinces in the apst at the SD locations. Will give it another shot hopefully second times the charm and my Wahoo love will be restored. read more

I love having a Pacifico with my wahoo fish bowl. This location is newer and very close to my work...so I enjoy coming here after a long day at the salon...I think I need a Pacifico right now. Love. Wahoos read more

I had a great experience the food was delicious and as they brought me my food I was able to order another beer from the gentleman and he took my money right there he didn't make me go back in line which I really liked so I'm going to definitely give them five. I'll be back read more

Wahoo's Fish Taco - Mexican Near Me - Orange, California

LOCATION and AMBIANCE: We heard about this new location, so we definitely had to try. OMG -- totally cute! It's like a house converted into a lovely little restaurant. However, it looks like it would be more perfect as a tea house instead of Southwestern. It was a bit confusing because it just didn't seem to fit my idea of what Wahoo's should be (although I've been to three other locations and all of them were all different structures). This particular one had a had indoor area, but also a patio, and front yard seating with trees and white fence surrounding it. FOOD: I love Wahoo's because of the healthy selection and affordable pricing. I ordered the combo #1 which is one fish taco with beans and (brown) rice for under $5! And though it was just ONE taco, the whole plate was very filling and left me completely satisfied. The fish tasted fresh and so did all the salsa. Absolutely wonderful! SERVICE: The service is always super! Knowing that Wahoo's was founded by two Asian brothers from UCI, it still surprises me that all the staff tend to be Latino. But that's besides the point -- they were all very friendly and cordial. Our host (I forget his name) kept checking on us (even though we sat outside and a little inconvenient to see). read more

I come here a lot and it's really good! I love to get a shrimp or salmon bowl with a side of teriyaki.

Ok the location is kinda like little house squished between two buildings, like the meat in your taco. Friendly staff with great follow-up service. Food isn't much more fabulous than Baha Fresh or Rubios but tasty as always. Drinks are refillable. The Baja Rolls appetizer however was a little soggy and very bland, even with the sauce. As the only location in Orange it's a great place to hang out outside during a nice day. Parking bites during busy weekends but it's not too bad if you don't mind walking around Old Town Orange. 3-stars for me as I wasn't overly impressed but it's the only place to get a healthy fish burrito or taco in the area if you don't want the typical fried battered kind. read more

it had been a few years since i'd been to a Wahoo's before heading over here for lunch so can't really compare to other locations, but i'd definitely come back here for lunch. the order takers and server were friendly and helpful. the place got full pretty quickly -- it's a mix of college students and working professionals. they completely gutted the building but kept the original structure, so the outside has that Old Towne Orange feel but the inside looks like probably every other location -- stickers galore! i had the Baja Ladas which were delicious (obviously a bit on the heavy side considering they're "wet") with rice and half-black/half-cajun white beans (preferred the black to the white beans). a nice place to grab a bite, but if you're coming during your lunch hour, get in early or come in later to avoid the crowd! read more

I tend to find myself at any Wahoos in the area! They have a nice selection of fresh and healthy recipes to satisfy all appetites. My particular favorite that I have discovered there lately is the Wahoo's salad with shrimp! Fresh leafy lettuce, lots of shrimp (no skimping), shredded cheese, tortilla strips on top and a good helping of salsa fresca and guacamole, which pretty much eliminates the need for salad dressing (if you want to save the calories)! The Wahoo's sandwich with grilled chicken is also quite tasty. Lean white meat nestled between soft bread with cheese and fresh guacamole is great. Your option to have it with french fries or beans and rice, or just a la carte! This cold and flu season, try the Wahoo's chicken soup! It's a tasty staple that is kicked up a notch! Garnished with tortilla strips, and I'm not sure what they add to the broth to give it that hint of spiciness that is guaranteed to help clear the sinuses. good stuff! read more

It's Wahoo's. There's not much else to say. It's quasi-mexican, but not as heavy. My favorites are the burrito combo, the bowl or a salad. The burritos are good because they are light. It doesn't feel like a gigantic gut bomb. Same goes for the bowl. A good amount of food, but you don't feel the need for a three hour nap afterwards. If you are watching what you eat, I honestly think their salads are one of the best things going if you want to shed some pounds but feel like eating out. One of the extremely few places where you can have a really low calorie (450?ish) salad that is good. Most salads at restaurants are expensive (no idea why) and suck. I always get the spicy chicken and have them leave off the chip pieces. Combined with salsa and some guac, it's low cal, filling and actually tasty. Being able to watch alternative sports while I'm eating and listen to KROQ type music doesn't hurt either. read more
