The setting of this Wahoo Fish Taco is beautiful in the Fashion Island Mall. You can eat inside or outside with a beautiful... waterfall. Lots of comfortable seating. Great to sit here with friends and family. We were thrilled to see all of the plant-based food that tasted great. The eco-friendly bags and cups were great for recycling. All of the food is good the burritosare huge and good for two meals. Of course the fish is good as you would expect. The one downfall is that it?s always verybusy and can be a long wait. Try to not go during lunch, peak shopping time. Enjoy the food and the indoor setting is greattoo. Read more
The food was okay, but my Wahoo salad was pretty bland. On the other hand, I am on a diet and picked something healthy, and... did not gain weight after eating it. Read more
It was sort of bland, was expecting more considering the area. Also the plate I ordered is expensive and when I asked the... bartender for a drink. My drink was never served ???? Read more
First time at this location, it was not crowded and the service was good. I ordered their crispy Baja rolls and they were good... but I didn't think they were crispy enough. Read more
We go here occasionally for dinner. Place even at 6pm only has 1/2 covers filled. Interesting this location has a bar also. The... bar cocktails are advertised when you order. They have beers too, not sure if tap. There is also seating outside in a fancysunken atrium. The ripple wet wall is pretty relaxing and provides some convective cooling on a hot day. Service has been a widerange. From completely ignored while the only person taking orders does one or two phone orders. Lately there is different staffthat explains the choices and makes nice suggestions. If you know Wahoos get the onion rings with ranch and (my pref) someTapatio or Cholula picante pepper sauce. There are more protein choices as well as how you'd like the food prepped. Wahoo's is alot more than fish tacos now. For example, my friend had a tasty chicken Banzi bowl with brown rice and tasty veggies. Oh, sogrindable. Two restrooms, Men/Women around the side to the left as you show up to the last register. Also, they have a cleandrink bar with Pepsi flavor choices. For drinks they offer three types of iced tea. Read more
???? ONE OF THE BETTER WAHOO'S LOCATIONS ???? ?? INSIDE - Plenty of seating, the booths in the back are padded and comfortable.... Typical Wahoo's decor with stickers and signs showcasing skate, surf & snow. Music is not too loud and conversation is easy tohave while eating. ?? FOOD & DRINKS - After several visits I have to admit it is consistently good, fresh tasting food. Sodadispenser has good carbonation, salsa is fresh. Black beans are cooked exactly right, not mushy or hard. Rice is notovercooked, fish was fresh & seasoned perfectly. ?? LOCATION - It's a fairly quiet location, with the food court area being farenough away as to be a non-factor. The seating surrounds the "bar" area which actually eliminates the "Fish Bowl" effect. There is outdoor seating adjacent to the building. This Wahoo's almost feels secluded from the rest of the Atrium. ?? STAFF -This location has the friendliest staff of any location I have visited. They are professional and courteous despite having todeal with the occasional Fashion Island snobs. The staff on the night I was there showed excellent attention & friendlyservice. :: OVERALL :: I only like 2 Wahoo's locations for various reasons. The original Costa Mesa location & this FashionIsland spot. The prices are reasonable, the food is fresh & nothing is overpriced, including alcohol. :: ABOUT COMPLAINTSBELOW :: I did not expect free food because of some App, I did not get "Green" sauce on my tacos, my order was ready within 15minutes of ordering & as for small salsa portions - I simply asked for more salsa with my meal and got it free of charge. Notsure about bland flavors, get spicy next time, it is an option after-all. Read more
Wahoos is one of my favorite places to eat at and I love this location. All the regular employees are super nice and have been... working there for so long. I always order 1 or 2 cheese enchiladas with red sauce and black beans and white rice. They areusually super fast even on their busy times. I have been going here for years and order the same thing every time and it?s stilljust as good every time I go. Read more
