    Took my father in law here for his birthday. The kids and I got the tortilla soup and the Mr. Lee's burrito! My father in law got the reef, with fish as the protein and man! When the burritos got to us, they were massive! We decided to make them wet burritos with the green and red sauce. It was kinda late so it was a little empty, lots of tables and space and the servers were nice. Overall will keep coming here when I'm digging a big burrito!

    Wahoo's definitely did something with their chips for the better. They taste great now. The tacos are even better in the sense that they don't fall apart anymore when you eat it by the time you get half ways. Keep up the great work Wahoo's I just wish you had more locations available and the IE.

    "Freshly Made, Pacific Inspired" I visit Southern California a lot and find myself zipping by Wahoo's often. Wahoo's Fish Tacos has been serving the SoCal community delicious fast casual surf food since the 80's. Their food is a mixture of Mexican, Brazilian and Asian fare. They have a great partnership with the surfing and skateboard community and promote several local events. If you have never been, you basically pick your entrée item and one of several options of protein for your entrée. They have combos that come with beans and rice or items a la carte (the portions are pretty generous). The Outer Reef Burro is my usual choice, but the enchiladas are also pretty tasty. In addition to beverages, Wahoo's sells alcohol and has a good selection of beers and margaritas. If you are into stickers, ask for them at the counter. I like to stick them on my laptop or my skateboard. This Wahoo's is off Interstate 15 just outside Anaheim. The good food and the prices always make Wahoo's worth a stop.

    Got a bowl with spicy fish, brown rice, and spicy white beans. I want to think its healthy. Probably is. Tasted really good. Bowl was filling and flavorful. Wasn't too spicy. Service was good. Cashier was nice. She was friendly. Restaurant was clean. Spacious. I like Wahoo's. Wish they still had a location in Chino Hills.

    We haven't been to Wahoo's in a few years. We thought we would give it a try again, after our hiatus. I checked the menu online and it seemed to have a very small selection of entrees. We ordered food to-go. Both my husband and son enjoyed their meals. Me, on the other hand, was highly disappointed. I ordered green enchiladas with chicken, with no tomatoes, onions and cilantro. I am sure there are two types of people this world...you either love or hate cilantro. I HATE cilantro. I had chosen the green sauce because I was told it was not as spicy as the red sauce. Unfortunately, the sauce was more like a cilantro sauce instead of a tomatillo sauce. In a perfect world, when I ordered the green sauce, the cashier should have told me that the green sauce was made with (a ton of) cilantro, since I asked for no tomato, no onion and no CILANTRO! PLUS, I asked to substitute the beans for coleslaw. I saw on the menu, this was an extra charge. No problem. Unfortunately, the cashier was not listening since she substituted both the rice and beans for coleslaw. Again, the cashier failed to mention the coleslaw was heavy with cilantro. My dinner was a plate of cilantro, with an extra side of cilantro. So disappointing. Thank goodness the churro chips didn't have any cilantro!

    The salmon I did not eat at all. Half of the shrimp I didn't eat and about a quarter left of the beef that I did eat.

    I was considering 3 stars only because the steak in the Maui bowl tasted good. However, I ended up with 2 stars, thinking I should do just 1 because everything else I got was such a disaster. I spent $29.94 and TOTALLY regret it! I'm just going to write out a play-by-play of my experience and let you, yes you, the reader, decide for yourself. For my To-Go order, I got the Maui Bowl with brown rice ( $0.25 upcharge) with spicy white beans. The rice was under the beef in the main section of the To-Go container and also in a side portion of the To-Go container, so it was almost like I ordered "Extra Rice," which I did not. There were only beans in one of the small side sections of the To-Go container, which if I had a choice, I would have got both small sections of the To-Go container with beans instead because the portion of beans I did get was about a half scoop of the available space in one of the smaller sections of the container. I ordered Spicy Salmon and Shrimp al a carte on the side, which came in a styrofoam side container for each. The plastic lid on the salmon was broken and the spicy sauce went everywhere, literally everywhere. There was also a hole in the bag, so I am sure you can guess it was a sloppy mess. I also ordered salsa and chips. Ate the chips, did not even open or touch the salsa given for that. I got every sauce at the salsa bar. The roasted tomatillo is my usual fave. When I opened the side container that had my salmon it was drenched in what could only be described as spicy oil because of however they cooked it. There were 4 shrimps that were not deveined out of about 11, obviously, I did not eat those. The veggies I ordered al a carte on the side were the last thing I opened, and...oh my lordy, they were NOT a sight for sore eyes. The veggies looked like they went through a cash wash of teriyaki sauce after being minced to a pulp and drenched in water. I literally did not even eat half of them. They were inedible. The food altogether was less than fresh, in the picture of the beef, salmon, and shrimp, it was barely halfway through. After I took this picture I threw the rest away because I'm not even feeling good, even right now as I write this review. I used to come to this location at least 4 times a month religiously, and I no longer live in the area as of late, so I literally sought this location out. I really regret spending $30 on food that my 16-year-old niece could have made better. This place has gone downhill exponentially and I am sorry to say that after being a die-hard Wahoo's fan, I'm tapping out. I don't want to risk ordering from another location and have the same experience. The other thing that was really weird is the side door to the patio was locked during business hours and guests were instructed to shut the door behind them, which literally no one did. Therefore the picture of the patio door is open; slightly ajar. It clearly is a state law that "This door to remain unlocked during business hours." Since the door kept remaining ajar after many people were on the patio coming in and out, the older employee lady kept coming over to shut it. I tipped after I placed my order at the register and waited for about 15 minutes for my food. When they called my name I asked for lemon or lime wedges on the side, that same employee screeched, "I put everything in the bag!" I said, "Awesome, thank you, that is not what I asked though." Then she proceeded to squeal again aggressively, "I put everything in the bag." I said, "Thank you but I was asking if I could get lime or lemon wedges please." Even then she proceeded to act as though she didn't understand me and the cashier boy had to ask her to get lime or lemon wedges for me. She finally did while displaying an immense attitude, which is whatever, but since I tipped y'all I would think she would at least be semi-kind about it. But no, she did not hide the fact that she was bothered, flustered, and frustrated with my "extra" request. Not like the lime and lemon wedges helped the flavor or the food, but I usually love citrus with salmon and shrimp (not this time, disgusting regardless). At least I know not to go to Wahoo's anytime soon. In-n-out here I come!

Still, I was able to find a spot quickly. Walking in, there's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but when the waitress came out, she said we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose a booth by the window. I don't know how old this restaurant is, but I could tell that the booth we chose was really popular because the leather seats were so worn down that they had to patch some of the holes up. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately given menus, water, chips, and salsa. The salsa was really spicy, though, so as much as we love chips and salsa and would normally have finished it all off before our actual meal came, we could only eat half of it. Across from us was a big family of Latinos which for me was a good sign. After all, if they're Latino themselves, they could easily just make the same food at home, but if the food here was good enough for them to come here instead, then the food had to be decent. Since I'm vegetarian, I had to ask for them to not put meat in my enchilada, so the waitress just made it a cheese one. If you're vegetarian like me, there's not really much on the menu for us, but at least they're accommodating enough to leave the meat out if you ask. If you're vegan, you're really out of luck since it seems everything will have at least melted cheese on top. All of the food came out quickly and at the same time, which is appreciated since not all restaurants do that. In addition, the portions were big enough for us to eat most of it there, then be full enough to want to take the rest of it home, which makes up for the cost since it is a little expensive. Again, I don't know how old the restaurant is, but you could tell it's been aged through the years, like the paint is peeling off or splattered with what looked like salsa. Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. On the other hand, if it's been around long enough to go through that kind of wear and tear, it's a testament to the loyalty of its customers. Plus, they do try to make it look nice with balloons, flowers, and flags. And they try to clean up the tables as soon as people are done eating. I just finished eating my leftovers and it tasted as good as it did when I ate it at the restaurant. So the food is good, the sizes, especially for the cost, are decent. Just know that the place is a little worn down, but the employees try their best to smile, be friendly, and quick to attend to your needs.

Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament. If I am in the area you better believe that I will be back. Oh yeah, and very affordable for the upscale dining.

Going as far as making jokes about someone just trying to grab some food after a long day and just wants a right order for once is not okay. Now reading other comments the tall guy at the register is rude and clearly lacks proper customer service skills.
