    Taco with carnitas
    Steve H.

    We needed food at teatime after playing at west coast pickleball. Four of us went and decided to grab a quick late lunch. Service is friendly. The decor is very California surf culture and unique. However, I think it needs to be updated. Food is better than average. Lots of carbs.

    The Strawberry Watermelon Agua Fresca or one of their draft beers are perfect for the summer! The Outer Reef Burrito comes with your choice of protein,melted cheese, lettuce, rice, beans & green sauce. Perfect with their cilantro sauce! Fuego Carnitas Taco (My fave) The 1988 Taco Crispy Fish Taco The Fuego Carnitas Taco seemed the most unique with smoky chipotle carnitas on a corn tortilla with melted cheese, roasted street corn, queso fresco, cilantro and Fuego Roasted Salsa. It can be pretty messy but packed with flavor! Spicy Fish Sandwich -so crispy and perfect with crispy onion rings! Chewy Churro Bites- decided to try these new churro bites! 6 for $4.99. Reminded me of donut holes. Cinnamon Sugar goodness. Value wise, could be cheaper. Love the decor! Themed skateboards and surfing. Very open and inviting. Helpful customer service.

    I love Wahoo's but this location is a mess. I came in a little before 7 PM and had a difficult time finding a place to sit because at least half the tables had dirty dishes on them. The salsa bar neesedi refilling and had dirty plates stacked directly on the bottom - see pics. There were two people working the counter and although one had time to clean she continued to walk around versus bussing tables. Multiples people asked her to clean a table for them. Its just so messy I lost my appetite wondering what the kitchen must look like if this is what we can see. Also, the front door doesn't properly close causing a portion of the dining room to be freeing from the breeze. Good quality here is not the same either. When I finished my meal the tables still were not bussed. This location needs more staff or an adult manager to keep priorities in order. Done with this location.

    Summer requires fish tacos. I didn't make up the rules. What I know is that you have to have it, and you should preferably have it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Enter Wahoo's Fish Tacos. You wanna go with the 1988 Taco all day, every day. Wahoo's oozes surf culture and summertime vibes with its surfing, skating, extreme sports stickers splashed on all the walls. The brothers started their first restaurant in Costa Mesa where the surf and skate industries had gathered. The menu is influenced by their background of growing up in Brazil, surfing in Baja, and working in their family's Chinese restaurant. What results is something so cool. "At Wahoo's, we encourage you to nourish yourself with food and experiences that make you feel more alive. So, ride those waves, care for your community, love what you eat every day, and be authentically you. Our family is here to feed yours." This is not the best location by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a Wahoo's and I'll take it!

    The family and I are big fans of Wahoo's Fish Tacos. The food is always good and the service is excellent. This particular location is a bit off the beaten path and you have to look for it. It is worth the search though as the food is consistently great and the restaurant itself is clean. They offer much more than Fish Tacos. In fact, I usually order the chicken tacos and my daughters love the Tacos de Papa. Great restaurant that we generally visit at least once a month! Highly recommended!

    Food 4/5: grilled fish tacos so they weren't oily and the hot sauces were good. Service 3/5: place was pretty dead but took a while for our food to come out so we were hangry. Pricing/value 2/5: fast food but almost cost as much as a restaurant, almost 5 bucks per taco. $40 bucks plus tip to get enough food for 2 people.

    Can't go wrong with this place. Really good food and so many options. Anytime I can find one. I am happy to go in and see what new items they have on the menu. Service is usually pretty quick and they definitely somehow still maintain a family feel. Cool surf shop vibe.

    Good fast food at adorable price. Not a fancy place but it is fun and hols a happy ambiance. People here are always nice, service is accurate and fast.

    Dinner time! It is so nice to have a great fish taco place close to home. Wahoos is very consistent in their food. The people are friendly, and the atmosphere is casual which is great.

    Mr Lee's Screamin' Chicken Burrito, wet with green sauce. Added onions and cilantro on top.

    Holy smokes, this is the best Mex in town! We ordered the El Grande sub Asada, Que Rico plato, corn…read moreesquites, birria tacos, a pineapple margarita, and Pacifico on tap. Everything was absolutely superb! You can really taste the quality of their house-made tortillas and house-marinated meats. Plus, the portions are huge! The restaurant was packed, and it is easy to see why. The vine is super cool with lively high energy social atmosphere! Since it was so busy, we initially ordered our food to-go because there were no open seats. However, the coolest guy at the register (I forgot to ask his name!) went above and beyond. He asked us to wait a moment and personally got a table ready so we could dine in. His phenomenal service, knowledge, and great personality truly topped off our experience. All the servers were outstanding!! Watch out Que Vida, your new regulars!! See you tomorrow!!!

    Best tacos in town. Staff is very friendly…read more Food is very fresh. Draft beer and bottle beer. Limited bar. Limited wine options. Multiple kinds of Margaritas They make breakfast options all day. Their desserts are a special treat! No wait staff. You have to order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. Fresh churros. Veggie options. Salad options. No alcoholic options Bar counter Able to accommodate small to medium groups
