Wahoos Fish

The original style fish tacos were great however, the tortillas had cheese melted on them. I didn't expect it and freaked out a little because I don't eat dairy products. I know most people enjoy eating LOTS of cheese, but I wish restaurants wouldn't put it in nearly EVERYTHING! I enjoyed sitting outside near the"waterfall" fountain.

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 burritos are huge and good for two meals. Of course the fish is good as you would expect. The one downfall is that it’s always very busy and can be a long wait. Try to not go during lunch, peak shopping time. Enjoy the food and the indoor setting is great too.

🌟 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 to have while eating. ✔️ FOOD & DRINKS - After several visits I have to admit it is consistently good, fresh tasting food. Soda dispenser has good carbonation, salsa is fresh. Black beans are cooked exactly right, not mushy or hard. Rice is not overcooked, fish was fresh & seasoned perfectly. ✔️ LOCATION - It's a fairly quiet location, with the food court area being far enough 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 to deal with the occasional Fashion Island snobs. The staff on the night I was there showed excellent attention & friendly service. :: OVERALL :: I only like 2 Wahoo's locations for various reasons. The original Costa Mesa location & this Fashion Island spot. The prices are reasonable, the food is fresh & nothing is overpriced, including alcohol. :: ABOUT COMPLAINTS BELOW :: I did not expect free food because of some App, I did not get "Green" sauce on my tacos, my order was ready within 15 minutes of ordering & as for small salsa portions - I simply asked for more salsa with my meal and got it free of charge. Not sure about bland flavors, get spicy next time, it is an option after-all.

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.

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 fancy sunken atrium. The ripple wet wall is pretty relaxing and provides some convective cooling on a hot day. Service has been a wide range. From completely ignored while the only person taking orders does one or two phone orders. Lately there is different staff that explains the choices and makes nice suggestions. If you know Wahoos get the onion rings with ranch and (my pref) some Tapatio or Cholula picante pepper sauce. There are more protein choices as well as how you'd like the food prepped. Wahoo's is a lot more than fish tacos now. For example, my friend had a tasty chicken Banzi bowl with brown rice and tasty veggies. Oh, so grindable. Two restrooms, Men/Women around the side to the left as you show up to the last register. Also, they have a clean drink bar with Pepsi flavor choices. For drinks they offer three types of iced tea.
