Came here tonight for dinner. Ordered the same thing as I usually order, the protein bowl with chicken and carnitas. Definitely less protein than it used to be. My husband wanted two tacos, one chicken and one fish (flounder!). We were surprised they have flounder. We used to get flounder all the times in Florida. Everything tasted good though. read more

I've been a fan of Wahoo's for many years and have visited several of their locations which seem to be consistently great no matter where I go. This location stood out for being very spacious and for having outstandingly friendly and attentive customer service. I came for lunch on a weekday. I ordered a chicken enchilada with green sauce, ala carte, plus an order of Maui onion rings. I also got a root beer from the soda fountain. In a short time my food was delivered to my table. As always, my meal was simple but made with flavorful, quality ingredients. The enchilada was delicious, the green sauce giving the perfect amount of spiciness for me. The chicken was great quality but, maybe it's just me, the enchiladas seem to have gotten smaller. I love the onion rings here as the batter is tasty with a fantastic crunch. The batter here seemed thinner than other locations I've eaten at though. I appreciated that a worker came by just after I finished eating to collect my plates; the dining area here was notably clean. Great job, Wahoo's! read more

Sergio was really helpful on Cinco de mayo! Really upbeat and interested me in a discounted beer for the holiday! Happy may 5th! Good times!

I have not been to Wahoos in a long time. I recently ordered the chicken tortilla soup. The soup is a light broth and flavorful. Portion is average. I add avocado and pico salsa. They no longer have the salsa out so you have to ask for it. read more

Wahoo's Fish Tacos - Chicken Tortilla Soup - Mexican Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

It took 20 minutes for 3 tacos a la carte. It was pretty quiet and maybe 4 other parties in the restaurant. We thought this would be a quick stop before the movie and we were late to the movie just waiting for our tacos. The tacos were tasty. The batter is not too fluffy but more crispy on the fish tacos. read more

OMG. I have been going to Wahoos for over 30 years. First time I order delivery from this location. It was awful! The order was not only incorrect, but it was of very poor quality. Steer clear!! Not sure if this is a franchised site. Nonetheless, you will be very disappointed in the food for sure. read more

Tortilla soup is ok and the steak taco was also just ok. Atmosphere is fun but a little run down. Good spot for kids

Right when I walked into Wahoo's, I felt super welcomed by the whole crew. Everyone was friendly and just had good energy. Blanca, the manager, was especially awesome she helped me pick out a combo plate I wouldn't have chosen on my own, and it ended up being so good. I devoured it! The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor everything was cooked just right. Big thanks to the team here, you can tell they're well-managed and really enjoy what they do. Definitely coming back! read more

I've been coming here forever and it's usually good and reliable But last night I had two banzai bowls and the fish was swimming in a watery lake of black beans with no rice from DoorDash. I'm not sure what happened, but it wasn't good. read more

Dammit, you guys have done it again. I love their food and because everything I've tried so far has hit the mark in the flavor department, I'm comfortable trying new things at Wahoo's Fish Taco. THE FOODS | For this round, I lightly gorged out on... - Crispy Fish Taco | Alaska flounder fish, battered and fried to a golden crisp. The coleslaw is refreshingly citrusy and abundantly piled into the corn tortilla. Splashed with cilantro sauce and Spicy Maria's sauce (ordered it on the side for extra $), the taco is balanced with all the right flavors meshed in. - Chips & Guacamole | Tortilla chips are fresh with a nice crunch to it. Guacamole is also freshly made with parsley, small chunks of avocado, and a bit of lemon zest. By the way, it also comes with a cup of salsa with a sultry, smokey flavor. read more

I LUV WAHOOS! I am starting out with this because today they shit the bed. It's summer and busy but that's no excuse. The order taker was rude. The botched every order (5). They waited till we were being served to tell us they didn't have items in our order. So they expect us to except their version and throw stale chips as a token. I come here a lot and it's ALWAYS good. Not today read more

I ordered tacos and chips and salsa for delivery. The fried and grilled fish tacos were absolutely DELICIOUS! I love the fresh ingredients that were on top, and the flavor was fantastic. The chips were warm and fresh - but the salsa....was not salsa. It was like a container of sauce. Just liquid sauce. Not good at all. You would have gotten a full five stars had there actually be a SALSA! I WILL be back for more! =) read more

I've been eating Wahoo's Fish Tacos for decades. This location has what the other locations have: nice staff, healthy choices, and a clean environment. Like the other Wahoo's, there are stickers all over the place. I feel good getting take out from here because the employees treat everyone well, the food is boxed nicely, and tastes good. In the days when I had a higher metabolism, I did eat things like the french fries. They still have those on the menu. Their pico de gallo is one of my favorites out of any restaurant chain. This Gen X gives Wahoo's 5 stars. The #1 combo meal with a fish taco 1988 style, black beans, and ahi rice seems to always hit the spot, so to speak. They also have vegetarian options. I like the #1 meal for its simplicity, taste, reliability, and freshness. read more

Been coming Here for over 20 years, great food But... they need to hire more kitchen staff, no line up front but 10k phone orders, your wait is 10 minutes? An hour? Who knows... I feel bad the two running around, also the cashiers have always been so friendly but lately they are super rude it's bummer I love this place sad to see it go down hill read more

Blanca was on the register and she was the sweetest! Helped us with ordering ad we haven't been in a while and got us everything we needed when she served our delicious food! Will be coming back just cause she took care of us! read more

I love this place very much because the food here is delicious, the service was amazing, and the ambiance inside was very neat. read more

I love Wahoo's and nearly always try to come here when in OC. It's become a franchise in SoCal and some locations are better than others. This spot is always consistent for me. They've introduced a salsa bar which is nice. And the menu has become quite extensive. I ordered the protein bowl with carne asada and shrimp. It was on top of a delicious coleslaw and steamed veggies. No carbs & really yummy. My son ordered the chicken taquitos. Now, truth be known, I love the taquitos from Wahoo's! But I don't eat fried food anymore, so I just drooled over my son's food. The taquitos come with guacamole and sour cream. Fried to order. It's pretty much Americanized Mexican food, but I love the service, I love the vibe, and I love that it reminds me of home. Definitely worth trying if you're hankering fresh mex style food. read more

Wahoos in Aliso Viejo is great! The food is clean and the restaurant is as well. Ellie was so friendly and helped out so much. She went above and beyond for us. Cleaned the table and wiped it down. Also took our plates. Will come back due to her service. Thank you Ellie! read more

Healthy, fresh and friendly staff. Delicious is definitely on the menu. The 1988 combo is my all time favorite

I've been a customer of the Aliso location for almost 15 years. Unfortunately, It has gone down hill the past few years. The staff turn over has been excessive and quality of service has dropped significantly. The food is still pretty much the same no complaints there but the time it now takes for food to come out has drastically increased. I hope they can turn things around soon. read more

Wahoos use to be a great place to dine. Not anymore! Doesn't matter what you get on the menu, it's crappy. I've gone there so many times and it never fails but I end up leaving disappointed and feeling like I wasted $25. I don't recommend this place. Go to McDonald's if you want a descent fish sandwich . read more

Let me start by saying I am handicapped and today I tried walking for the first time and I celebrated by going to my favorite Wahoos where I usually order the taco/enchilada plate. Luis Avila was the order taker, what a nice guy! He patiently the burrito menu and I selected his favorite the Outer Reef Burrito, which now is my favorite. Then Mr Avila noticed I was having a bit of difficulty walking and he helped me to my table. Then he brought condiments, silverware and napkins to me, If all of that wasn't enough to win me as a fan, he asked what channel I wanted to watch. Suddenly I'm eating the delicious burrito and watching sports. My best meal here in over 30 years of being a Wahoo die hard. I wish I'd thought to thank him more profusely, perhaps this review will surprise him and make him realize that he helped me and he deserves this review. I hope someone reads this. Earl B read more

This was hands down my favorite carry out during covid times. I am grateful to the employees enduring those crazy times. Thank you Maria, Alfredo, Freddy, and everyone in the kitchen. It's so nice to see you when we visit! The chicken tortilla soup is always delicious! The fish bowl is my other favorite. My must have and go to comfort foods! read more

Wahoo's Fish Tacos - Wahoos bowl with grilled fish. Plus added shrimp! - Mexican Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Wahoos is AMAZING. I always get a bowl with the spicy fish and the veggies. My boyfriend always gets the burritos. The tacos are obviously amazing as well. The different sauces are magical (they have a sauce table where you can get all the cups you need and I always fill up) it's totally worth the heartburn. No regrets. Ever. and they always accommodate my needs if I ask for extra things it's never an issue. The service is friendly, the vibe is nice at both locations. I enjoy going here anytime I'm craving some fish and "Mexican" Definitely gotta check it out. read more

Just no, I am never coming back here. My food was never even served! The service was terrible, they never got my order and they were just getting other peoples orders. It took over an hour, then I left. The atmosphere is very chatty and loud, so annoying because I have an ear problem. If I could rate this 0 I would. read more

Had the fish and shrimp protein bowl. It was delicious and the price wasn't too bad for the quantity. Highly recommend trying! read more

My son LOVES wahoo's kids bowls. The team here always provides such great service. They really take care of us, as my one year old can be pretty lively haha. They are super friendly with him, make sure we have enough napkins (kids right?!) and anything else we need. This location is great as it's right across from a Barnes and Noble which is a great place to go with your kids for a walk after eating plenty of yummy food! read more

Love the service!! Great people great food Hooked me up with free chips to go because they are amazing -Blackcraft cult read more

My husband and I love Wahoo's and especially this Wahoo's. The food is great, fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. Our favorites are the citrus slaw tacos, the shrimp enchiladas, the 1988 burrito, and the sunset chopped salad. And during the winter months, I love the albondigus soup. Added to the terrific food is the terrific, friendly service. Since we eat here almost every week, we've gotten to know Caesar, Maria, and Delia and the new manager, Alfredo. We're always greeted with smiles and exceptional service. And they always make us feel special. We highly recommend this Wahoo's. And we'll keep coming back for our Wahoo Wednesdays. read more

This place is very consistent with the quality of food and great choices for a healthier meal. I love that the food tastes great and the description of the food in their menu is spot on. If it doesn't indicate that's spicy then is not spicy. Service is also great each time! read more

I've been getting chicken quesadillas from wahoos forever now and today they decided to give me so little cheese that the chicken fell onto the table as I took a bite. Also is that really the normal amount of chicken in a quesadilla? Service was fine but man that was the weakest quesadilla I've ever had. read more

Wahoo's Fish Tacos - Chicken Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I consider Wahoo's Fish Tacos a quintessential Californian establishment. It bristles with California's outdoor lifestyle throughout all of the decor - surfing, skiing and more - even including the colorful tables with different scenes painted on them. I like the ordering system where you decide what you want to eat, order it, get a number and food is brought up to your table once it is ready. I had fish tacos with a side of rice and black beans - everything was delicious. The restaurant offers a nice selection of the condiments - Pico de Gallo salsa and the range of sauces at a different level of spiciness. Good service, prompt and friendly. Recommended. read more

We have lived in the area for 21 years. This place used to be a weekly staple. My kids loved this place, we loved this place. Now the service is average at its best. We waited 20 minutes for soup and a taco. It's 7:30 on a Friday night, the salsa bar is dirty and empty, people have lifted the trays out to get some salsa. You have to bus your own tables which is no big deal but it's obvious that no one is wiping the tables down. The employee used to be so helpful. You only had to approach the counter and they were asking to help you. Now you stand there and no greeting no help. read more

Walked into this restaurant with my significant other and the service is the only reason why I'm writing this review. Walked in and was greeted by a lady who immediately took our order. The only reason why I complain today is because there were about 5-6 men in the kitchen and our food took 20+ minutes to make a bonsai bowl. We even left the restaurant, and came back and the food still wasn't ready. They happened to forget our order, and process a new one. My significant other was in a rush and the sense of urgency was simply not there. The food came out swell and there was no complaints there but the service was very mediocre and a hint of disrespectful. read more

Ordered delivery of chicken and beef tacos. The tacos were terrible - the meat was all fatty and the tacos were assembled poorly. The sides of white and black beans were so salty that were inedible. I paid for extra sauces a they were half full in those small containers - so disappointing and dissatisfying. Wahoos used to be decent food when I was younger. Now it's just gone downhill. It is unfortunate and I definitely won't be getting food from there ever again. read more

Our go-to Mexican place in Aliso! We love it here. Consistently delicious, fast, and fresh. Maria is great at her job, our order is always on point. I get the same citrus slaw fish tacos every time, they are so good. My husband mixes it up between enchiladas, bowls and sandwiches and he is always pleased. Comfortable interior and some nice seats outside. We feel good about taking our baby here, it's a great place for families. Thanks for all the great meals!! read more

Waited 5 minutes at the counter to order and was never acknowledged.... I asked out. I hat happened to this place, used to be so great....

Been going here since I was born, the best place ever!!! My favorites are the wahoos bowl or citrus slaw burrito with grilled fish. Thanks to Maria especially read more

Food was good but the customer service was lousy our acted like he didn't want to be there. Plus our cashier who took mine and my wife's order had a bad attitude. read more

The go to place for a healthier, tasty quick lunch or dinner. Kids chicken and rice bowl is a healthy meal for the young ones. Another healthy favorite, especially around Lent, is the Fast Break Burrito (formerly the 3 minute burrito) with fish. Either grilled or blackened if you want a little more spice. I prefer the Maui Bowl or Banzai Burrito with carne asada. The light teriyaki sauce on the veggies mix well with the rice and black beans. Also, get the featured Beer of the Month. It's the best deal on beer and always a good choice to wash down the meal. read more
