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

Their protein bowls are the best. Fresh, tasteful and plenty to eat. Great chips and salsa. I'm 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

I just order two meals and beverages from Wahoo's Fish Tacos on Camino Los Mares with Door Dash. When the driver was approaching the house I could see he was carrying only one beverage. I asked him where other drink was at and he said the Wahoo's employee said everything was there. I checked the bag and thought I saw it, but was only the lid to the salsa. I called the restaurant and the employee that answered the phone said I got my drink, accused me of lying, and said I was a bad customer. I asked to speak with a manager and he told that there wasn't one. When I pressed for the managers name he then said he was the manager. I then asked what his name was and he said Chris. I assumed he was lying to me again and asked him if he was. He told me he was lying about his name too. I acknowledged that mistakes happen all the time with delivery orders. His response was "then why would ever order take out"? I told this was worst customer service I have ever received and he again called me a bad customer. We have dined at this Wahoo's location several times and never received such horrible customer service. I plan on sharing this regretful experience with the real manager once I learn who that is with the hope that they can correct the problem for future patrons. We will not be visiting this restaurant ever again. I still can't believe I was accused of lying about receiving a $2.30 iced tea. I tried to explain to the very rude employee that I wouldn't have even called if the order had been delivered correctly. Wahoo's just lost a local family as a customer over an iced tea. I will share this on the Next Door app and with all our neighbors. read more

I count 6 employees and I waited 20 minutes for two fish tacos. Unacceptable. The taco a ok but nothing brag about. Will not be in a hurry to return read more

The potato tacos are amazing and hope they keep it on their menu indefinitely. Not sure if it's a seasonal item or special.

Outstanding fish tacos! Ambience there is nice and service was quick.... Had these during a 2 day California trip.

Wahoo's - Great prices and tasty tacos - and open til 10 on weekends! - Mexican Near Me - San Clemente, California

Dirty silverware and customer service is AWFUL!! Don't come to this location. Employees are rude and don't care about quality food or service. The first sandwich was soggy on the bottom. When asked for a new one or a new bun, it came out burnt. The server didn't even look at us when delivering the new one. No apologies, nothing. read more

Great service and great food! I love the food at wahoos, because it never disappoints! I like to get the two enchilada plate with white rice and black beans. I would get tofu as my protein for the enchiladas. The tofu has a citrusy and sweet salsa flavor that is subtle but delicious. I like to get the green enchiladas for both of my enchiladas. I also like to make my entree loaded with lettuce, guac, and sour cream. It's the perfect meal and you get so many different things on one plate. read more

Is there anything better than Wahoo's spicy grilled fish citrus slaw tacos? Best eaten by the ocean for maximum enjoyment! Seriously, this is one of my favorite meals ever. The fish is grilled perfectly and the citrus slaw gives it a nice tang and crunch. I love adding avocado as well. The rice and beans are a nice compliment to the main attraction. I add some pico de gallo on top and it is heaven. Five stars every single time! read more

After finding out we missed The Grill (AKA Surfin Donuts) best Carnitas on the planet, we went to Wahoos. Their shrimp is not to miss! Decided to get a Carnitas taco as well. That was a tad disappointing compared to The Grill. The Mr. Lee sauce almost made up for it! read more

Wahoo's - Shrimp burrito, tacos , etc. - Mexican Near Me - San Clemente, California

I remember about 30 years ago making the trek to Costa Mesa to go to Wahoo's off of Bristol. There was always a long line, but it was always well worth the wait. Some 30 years later, Wahoo's is really nothing like it once was, they are basically a chain restaurant now, the quality of the ingredients used has declined over the years. I used to love the Maui bowl, but it has changed so drastically over the years, I can remember when it first changed, and feeling so disappointed, since then it has changed several more times. The quality of meat went from being so very tasty, to good, to not so good, and to where it is now, which is to be honest, almost awful. I suppose its all about making the most money now, I would pay more for the old recipes and higher quality ingredients. Hopefully they will reconsider the path they have taken, and get back to making high quality dishes. read more

Ok well tonight I saw a movie in Aliso Viejo Regal and THE JOURNEY with Andrea Bochelli was fantastic highly recommended show tomorrow is the last day....but..... After the show we went to Wahoo's in Alisa Viejo and well it was just awful Cold food and my shrimp had absolutely NO FLAVOR came out pale and cold and BARELY COOKED! No napkins and no straws! TABLES outside dirty with dishes on them. Ice tea was lacking something cause it tasted like brown" I don't know what type of water"! Not TEA! I'M sorry for Aliso Viejo Wahoo's, they need to see how the San Clemente Wahoo's cooks... All the food has amazing flavor,potions perfect,service is outstanding and Ice tea tastes like Ice Tea,always napkins and straws and service is TOP NOTCH.. SO I never like to do a negative post but don't waste your money going up to Aliso Viejo, eat first in San Clemente . It's excellent food and EMPLOYEES CARE and management here is on top of it..and service is always with a smile...every time! I mean you won't be disappointed at this Wahoo's restaurant! Just love this place.. read more

Wahoo's Thank you so much for being great and fresh and Yummy as always I will see you soon read more

The kids and I stopped here for a quick dinner before getting back on the road. The kids had the chicken and rice kids bowl and I had the banzai bowl. The kids are up their food which and I inhaled my meal as well. The veggies were fresh and tasty. They weren't mushy and overcooked. The chicken was not dry and I could taste the flame in it if that makes any sense. The rice had a hint of lime to it and they complimented each other very well. I will be back! read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident after the place we were going to was closed. It is kind of a fast food Mexican taco restaurant. The decor is kind a California surfer vibe. I had the shrimp tacos which were wonderful. My coworker opted for the planted based burrito which was huge and she enjoyed devouring the entire thing. Sorry forgot to snap a photo. read more

My wife and I shared three tacos: the Citrus Slaw Taco, the 1988 Taco, and the fried fish taco. All three were of a good size and excellent. The fish was flounder, the amount of fish in the tacos was substantial, and the ingredients were fresh and there was plenty of them. We also enjoyed the salsa that was served with the tacos. They're definitely great, well prepared tacos. The only thing that was a little odd was you could eat in the restaurant (I guess eating in is okay now) but you couldn't eat on the patio as the chairs and tables were stacked up. My wife and I definitely would have preferred eating outside, especially with the weather being so good. read more

Ordered food for my family of four to go. Three of the four items were wrong when we got home which caused problems with routine and had to scramble. Called next day to request refund for paying full price for food we never got and the difficult experience we were out in. The owner of Wahoo's (Wing?) calls back just completely rude before I speak a single word, he tells me his manager and he reviewed the order and they "both" confirmed they made zero mistakes on my order? What? Why am I calling then? Why am I wasting my time? After excuses and complete delusional behavior by Wing, he adds insult to injury and REFUSES to simply refund my money. I now grow impatient and hang up the phone and will never go back. We live here locally in Capo Beach and will find other 'local' restaurants that truly appreciate customers, know customer service, and can simply admit when they make a mistake. Their rudeness and lack of integrity will catch up to them, sounds like it already has as the place was almost completely empty when I first walked in at dinner time. Good luck. read more

Wahoo's is a great spot for a semi-healthy meal. I love their Bonzai and Maui bowls. Their white rice (not healthy) and white beans are on point, as are their chips, guac, and variety of salsa. I always make it a point to stop off at Wahoo's when I'm visiting home - can't seem to find that style of food in the midwest! read more

We ordered the carnitas and grilled fish tacos and they were awesome. The sauce at the bar were so good, I took plenty for the family. Great service and friendly staff read more

Wahoos food quality is going downhill. Anyone who has been a loyal wahoos fan will tell you the same! I have been to 3 different locations all seem to have their own variety if the same dish. Even a Maui bowl looks and tastes different than other locations. Tonight I ate at the San Clemente location and it was HORRIBLE. MEAT WAS FATTY AND CHEWY, RICE WAS UDERCOOKED AND SALSA WAS YELLOW(see pics). When we mentioned it they ignored us. I will never eat at Wahoos again. So sad because it was so good. I even feel like reaching out to the owner and letting him know its going down hill. Even the sauces are different and watered down. read more

Wahoo's - Yellow salsa???? Must be new! HORRIBLE!!!! - Mexican Near Me - San Clemente, California

This place is the worst the rude cashier woman had a nasty attitude to me and told me I was in the wrong. I went to get food for my wife and they made her plate 2 times and I got mine went to my car and then"manager " came running to my car I rolled down my window and before I could say anything he reached his hands into my car opened my wife's plate and looked at it and I said what are you doing ? He said oh sorry they made it twice. I was so confused why you wouldn't just ask me to open it myself and look. With Covid going on and everything his bare hands in my wife's food was disgusting and unsafe. When I called to explain it to the rude cashier she yelled at me told me I was wrong. And she called me a bunch of names and said I was stupid. This place is so rude and not following Covid safety guidelines. I do not recommend. STAY AWAY!!! read more

I grabbed some takeout tonight and it was perfect. I called in advance to order and it was ready as soon as I got there. Even though the place was a little busy I felt super safe. The food was delicious and came in recyclable plastic food containers which is always appreciated. There were also plenty of napkins and plastic utensils included in the bag. Don't forget to ask for salsa! read more

This place is horrible. We have always loved Wahoos but this store is the worst! We ordered online and we had to wait 45 minutes for our food. People who had come into the restaurant, ordered their food, ate their food and left before our order was ready. Then they refused to issue a refund or partial refund because we ordered online and they use DoorDash, so they said to take it up with doordash. Never go here! And never order online! read more

All good. My favorite fish taco place for decades. Always friendly service and most excellent choice of beer.

I found this place on a family vacation. The reviews were good and the menu sounded amazing. I was very glad we stopped there. Actually ended up there twice. We got the fish taco plate, the Hawaiian burrito, and the ceviche. Everything was great! Good fresh food. Would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

Disappointingthis is the second time I ordered that is wrong. I said twice no bean on my burrito. Paid $12 all I get is mostly beans & rice with 5 pcs of meat. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Ordered a bowl. Waited 20 minutes next to the counter and they never called me. I asked the employee where my food was and he runs to the back and comes back with a bag of food. I get home and it turns out to be someone else's order, clearly I should've checked. I will not be back. read more

We've been going to Wahoo's Fish Tacos for years. We particularly enjoy the San Clemente location where the staff is friendly and very efficient! When our family comes to visit from out of town, they always want to go to Wahoo's because the food is good and everyone, even the picky eaters, can find something to enjoy on the menu. We're happy to see that Wahoo's is continually adding healthy food choices. read more

Also a big fan of the #2, but mine is brown rice...black beans, cheese enchilada with green sauce and a grilled fish taco. PERFECTION! This location is bright and clean and the staff is super friendly. I love the outdoor seating here also. This is one of my favorite Wahoo locations. I love Wahoo, because I can eat healthy and still get the delicious factor! read more

I had high hopes after visiting the Wahoo's Fish Tacos in Temecula but ended up with overpriced and undercooked food. On the high side, I was able to slap a dozen more stickers around the restaurant chain. Don't call the authorities just yet, they encourage it. I ordered a fish taco and fish enchilada with green sauce and rice/beans ($7). The fish was alright, the beans and rice were terribly undercooked and there didn't seem to be a hint of flavor. Taco Bell had more flavor that this meal. The sweat from my underarm would have tasted better than the food I was given. I didn't expect to have to shovel down food just to eat a filling lunch. I won't be back, especially for the quality/cost factor. read more

Wahoo's - $7 for one fish taco and one enchilada with rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - San Clemente, California

I worked close to a Wahoo's for years and never really gave it a try. Today my friends and I stopped in for a quick bite on the way home from a road trip, and boy was the food delicious! I HIGHLY recommend the enchiladas with both green and red sauce. I was also blown away by how good my strawberry margarita was. After my friend tried mine, she ended up getting one as well. I've already looked up the Wahoo's closest to my home because I will definitely going back! read more

I have my birthday here with my twin sister, and they made it very special as they played the drums with pots and pans and saying happy birthday. The reason I come here often at least once a week, it's because I know exactly what is in everything I eat .There is no additives,no coloring ,no GMO all fresh ingredients. Very good said love it here Suzanne. read more

Good service during covid. We ordered over the phone and they had our order ready when we arrived. Crispy fish tacos with citrus slaw were delicious! Burrito hit the spot too. read more

What a fun find.. tucked behind the building outside with great food truck. Doesn't get much better than fresh brewed beers and fries.

I LOVE this place... definitely my go to. I always get the bean and cheese burrito without rice, I'm just not a big rice in my burrito person. And it is AMAZING!!! Their churro chips are the bomb too. The service is great as well, unlike most counter service restaurants they check on you and ask how you are doing. They are all friendly and nice and make you feel like family. Love it!! read more
