I've always enjoyed Wahoo's! Not only do they have great, fresh food, they also have great staff too. The staff at Wahoo's have always been helpful, upbeat and kind. They great fish tacos, bowls, quesadillas and more. I especially enjoy this location, because it feels so quintessential San Clemente. Total surfer/skater vibes all around! read more

I was the only one in line and waited 10 minutes before someone took my order. No lids for the drinks. Tables not very clean. Quality control is missing. I would give it a 2.5 read more

I came here to get passionfruit iced tea and paid for it and they were making it and I forgot to fill up my cup. I'm going back to get it but not to get any more shrimp because it's not very good. I do not recommend. read more

Wahoo's - This does not smell or taste very good - Mexican Near Me - San Clemente, California

First time at Wahoo's and it was super tasty. The inside was very clean and had chill vibes. I wasn't sure what to order and the cashier Kenia was great, she recommended the Outer Reef burrito and it was delicious. Will definitely be back again soon with my family! read more

I've been coming here for a while, and to be honest, we used to avoid coming because we often felt ignored. Ever since your manager Christian has been here, the difference is honestly night and day. The customer service has stepped up so much he's always aware of everything going on, and nothing ever gets overlooked. He's super welcoming, always smiling, and now he even greets us by our names, which is such an attentive and thoughtful touch. Even when he's clearly busy, he still takes the time to check in and help. What really stands out is how much he genuinely cares not just about the customers, but also about his team. You can see it in the way everything runs more smoothly and how the overall energy has improved. That kind of leadership makes a huge difference, and it shows in every part of the experience. read more

If you do want Wahoo's, don't go to this one. The service and food were horrible. We ordered 4 meals to dine in. We also ordered chips, which they charge for. The bowl was only half full and when my son asked for more, we had to pay for it. We spent over $70 for our meals. Then the food comes out, it looks just thrown on the plates. I ordered taquitos which were apparently not made. I had to wait another 10 minutes and my family was nearly done. The worst part-the photo is what they served for taquitos. Taquitos cut up and in a bowl, never mind that they were only half-filled with chicken. Sad part is we will probably never go back to another Wahoo's after this, it was that bad.

Great food. Protein bowl was really good and filling. The service is fast, efficient, and friendly. Good ambiance, inside and outside seating. Very clean. Thank you read more

Protein bowl with two Proteins. Shrimp/chicken- both tasteless Is an understatement. Nothing appetizing about this bowl. Left it on the table. Another party ordered a burrito (name escapes me) underwhelmed as well. Guacamole lacked flavor... finally ordered another meal to replace the tasteless protein bowl and while it was better, was in a to go container which was the plastic (used for cold food) NOT a piping hot dish. read more

Ordered shrimp burrito, no lettuce, add carne asada. The agent repeated the order back, and then when I get home, the $18 burrito has 3 shrimp, a bunch of cabbage and no carne asada. No wonder this brand is dying off. read more

Food was great - but the customer service was even more outstanding! Anita was happy to help, friendly, and accommodating. Excellent customer service! Enjoyed the atmosphere too! read more

Usually the food is great and so is service but this location is starting to lack took over 20 min to get order with only two customers in the restaurant they lost my order somehow This seems to be occurring more frequently when I visit his location read more

We went to Wahoo's in San Clemente yesterday, Sunday Or order was for 1 fish taco and 1 classic fish burrito, to go. Bill came to $19.00 And change. Both had piles of cabbage and so little fish it was impossible to find. I don't mind paying higher prices but when restaurants raise prices and reduce quality and quantity it's very disappointing. Long time customers. We won't go back! read more

My favorite restaurant of all time. Food is great and the staff is always so friendly!

The Maui steak bowl is delicious. The marinated steak is perfect. I also enjoy the chicken tortilla soup. Service is fast and friendly.

I went to Wahoo's Friday evening on a referral that the Chicken Tortilla Soup was wonderful. And it was indeed SO wonderful! Highly recommend it!! Unfortunately, as I live with my mom and daughter, I purchased two items for them, as well. My mom wanted 2 crispy shredded beef tacos, and my daughter wanted a cheese quesadilla. They apparently do not "do" crispy beef tacos. I now wish that I had taken a photo of the tacos that I received, as well as the quesadilla, because they were so horrible! Ugh! The beef was stingy as well as grisly and the quesadilla had been overcooked SO much it was rubber! See photos... Very disappointing. And $27 for the 3 items!! Ugh! read more

I have always liked Wahoo Fish Tacos! Hienstly of my favorite restaurants, esp among chains. I love the story how the 3 Lee brothers started a family business selling fresh seafood tacos, and their slogan is even "our family loves to feed yours" (or something like that). This location is off the 5 fwy in San Clemente. Parking is plentiful and it's very refreshing to eat your lunch on their outside patio in the crisp ocean air! The salsa station is amazing and everything on the normal menu is worth trying, but sometimes their limited edition items can fall flat (like the fried fish sandwhich). read more

Good for a quickie; not the best but not the worst. I had a shrimp plate and my sister had a salmon platter. Decent with big chunks of salmon and lots of shrimp. I especially liked the variety of salsa choices. The main downside was the service. The server piddled around. First she called us up fo someone else's food. Then when our meal was ready, she set it down to clean tables. What? We sat waiting while she piddled. Dilly dally. I finally went up to grab up our food. The manager did give me a free side of corn tortillas as an apology when I asked. It's all good. read more

Always busy, fresh, tasty! Bonsai burrito wet, fish plate good. Baja Mexican style fast casual. Good

Fast and friendly service. All of our food came out fresh and delicious. The cubes of chicken in the chicken enchiladas were kind of large, but that's just a preference issue. The flavors of the sauces were great! read more

The food and service are consistently good. The fried fish taco was crispy, the slaw was fresh, and it was served in timely manner.

Cool skater/snowboard/surf vibe. The Ono tacos are delicious and moist. This is like Baja Fresh, complete with salsa bar. The various slaws are actually really good. Food arrived quickly and service was great. read more

my crew and I stopped by for dinner. I have eaten at Wahoos Fish tacos at other locations and they never disappoint but we were in Temecula and we stopped here. The food was fantastic. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I couldn't help but notice how clean the kitchen area and all the stainless steel around was it looked amazing and it shows they took a lot of pride in their restaurant we filled up and I'm ready to go back again I highly recommend the outer reef burrito with guacamole and sour cream. Amazing. !!! keep up the good work Wahoos U have a customer for life. read more

Pre-ordered some fish tacos and rice and beans for a team meeting - I actually called before they opened just to see if by the off chance somebody would answer. They answered and I was able to place my order before the restaurant actually opened at 11 and by 11:10 I had the large order of food ready to go. I really appreciated how they handled everything perfectly.. my coworker went to pick it up and he forgot to grab the salsa and guac, wahoos called me to let me know. Excellent service do not hesitate! read more

This review is for San Clemente. Ordered here tonight and the to go order included chips and guacamole. Got home and no guacamole. Food otherwise good, but frustrating something so simple is executed so poorly. The customer should not have to double check the accuracy of the order. read more

I ordered a taco and when I made it a combo adding rice and beans the total came to almost eight dollars. That seemed like a lot of money for one taco with rice and beans. Two tacos I could see, but not one. read more

Grilled fish taco is the best ever. Have also tried the shrimp, but find the grilled fish even more of a stand out. Served with delicious, thick sauce and other sauces available at the salsa bar. We left without our chips and salsa, and a server saw us in our car and brought them to us. 5 star service! read more
