Wahoo’s Fish Tacos

Wahoo. Yummy. Would love to sit at the bar as the view is amazing. Apparently they have happy hour too. Wahoo to clean eating.

I am a restaurant owner and I know from experience that guests usually use Unilocal for negative comments or really positive reviews, my family and I came in and had a wonderful experience. The person who greeted us (Jesse) was friendly and helped us throughout the whole ordering process. Our whole family received our food in a short period of time and we all thoroughly enjoyed every bite and was more than enough to fill is up. Thank you for the great service and great food… we will be back for more!!!

Good food in the restaurant. Try the citrus slaw tacos! Toni and Amy are top bartenders. Love this spot, especially when they are here. Great view of the valley, also. Fun place.

I was surprised when I checked out Unilocal for a place to eat and saw this Wahoo’s Fish Taco. I’m used to seeing them in San Diego and LA by the beach. Well, I decided to check it out. After reading the huge mix of reviews on here, I had a feeling it was going to be a hit of miss. First off, the residents in the area are not Wahoo’s type of surfers and skateboarders customers, but people who are retired. It was just kinda weird sitting there listening to punk rock with a lot of gray hair around me who have no idea what band is playing. So aside from that, to the food, it took almost 20 minutes for my burrito! Seriously unacceptable for one item with only two other tables dining. It came out nice and hot. As for the spicy fish, I wish I would of got another protein, as it had a «fishy» taste to it I didn’t like, but the vegetables and the rest of the burrito were good. There was only 1 cashier /​waitress working, so after I finished my beer while waiting for my food, I had to go back to cashier to order another one. It was Wahoo’s, but not really what I would expect from a Wahoo’s I have been to in CA. Wasn’t really feeling it, after I eat Wahoo’s I want to see the ocean, listen to waves crashing, see people riding bikes around, etc. 3 stars for a overall, OK.

Took the family and sat on the patio. Food was all great, and plentiful, no complaints. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good, inexpensive night out. Will be back.

Went here with my wife recently and I will never return! Let me say that the fish tacos were great! The reason for my 1 star review is because of the bar!
The day we went it was around 110 outside and when I order our food I try to order 2 blended Margaritas and the guy at the restaurant counter said that they weren’t on his pos menu but I could go to the bar and order directly. A little annoying but no biggie, here’s where it all goes wrong…
I walk into the bar which is separated from the restaurant by glass as people can smoke at the bar which is ok with me. The problem is when I try to order blended margaritas, the female bartender says to me «We aren’t that kind of bar! We don’t use blenders!» Well I’ve been bartending for 20 years and if a restaurant that features fish tacos with a full bar doesn’t make blended drinks it means either 1 The bartenders are lazy or 2 the owner is lazy!
It takes maybe an extra 20 seconds to make any blended drink! In the desert in summer time at a beach themed fish place, you sure as hell oughta be able to get a freakin blended drink!
Get it together!
Updated Review…
I find it hilarious that the owner only responds to the great reviews! I’ll bet still no blender but I’ll never go back to find out!

Bleh. The food is worse than a chain like rubies– the bathrooms and tables are dirty and sticky– we got a highchair for our LO and it was filthy! Ugh

Went with a friend to have a few drinks and Tacos for Cinco De Mayo. Sat at the bar and waited for the bartender to ask our drink order, etc. He looked at us several times but never said a word to us. He just continued helping other people. They weren’t crazy busy… in fact there were several seats open. He didn’t even look over to tell us he would be with us shortly… nothing. We sat for 15 minutes and still nothing. We finally got up and left. As we were walking out he just looked at us. We weren’t rude nor did we do anything that would justify such horrible service? We took our business elsewhere.
So frustrating. I’ve never been ignored at a restaurant with out a reason in my life. Even the busiest of places at least tell you they are busy and will be with you as soon as they can.
Wahoos will not be getting anymore of my money. Ever.
Big time fail.

We really love fish tacos, and thought this would be a good place to try. We were wrong. The rice was old and crunchy, they didn’t have the shrimp that was on the menu, the fish was way overcooked and bland, and the beans were inedible. Perhaps we got them on the wrong decade. We are very particular about our food and will never be back to this place. I cannot understand the better reviews on this place.

A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G chicken bowl w black beans & brown rice. So healthy and flavorful. Great value.

Awesome! It was our first time here and we loved the atmosphere. Jesse was great, telling us about the menu and helping us find alternatives for diabetics. We had the Wahoo bowl with black beans, salad, and Cajun fish. The food was delicious. Thank you Jesse for making our experience great.

We were looking for someplace to eat while on our way for a day of site seeing whole visiting Las Vegas. Hubs wanted something quick and easy. We found this place and figured why not. We ordered our food, and sat down to wait. Wait we did… after everyone was served (not more than 20 people at lunchtime) and 40 mins later, still no food. I asked a server to check on our order. A few minutes later we were given an extra side of chips, guac and salsa, along with free taco tickets and scratchers of some kind and told that our order was being put on a rush because they had no idea what happened to our order. Ok thank you for stepping up and giving us the coupons, etc, we appreciated that. Probably will never go back here again. Ended up giving the coupons away since we live no where near this location.

We have lived in this area gor many years now. This is the first time we have eaten here. We will be back!

Had the steak tacos — just ok nothing great. I would go to Rubio’s always compared to Wahoo’s.

Wahoo’s is a fast casual chain serving bowls, burritos, tacos, and enchiladas melding Mexican, Brazilian, and Asian flavors. I’ll usually get their fish their tacos which they’re known for, and they usually don’t disappoint. I’ve had no complaints with service with any of my visits.
The view separates this location from others as you can see both the summit of Black Mountain and you can can also have an unobstructed view of the entire Valley if you choose to sit at the bar or out on the patio weather permitting. The dining area is spacious with plenty of tables and some booths against the wall.
When you order, you have the choice of protein for your dish which includes: chicken, carnitas, carne asada, fish, shrimp, and tofu. The food is OK to me and on par with most taquerias and teriyaki bowl places with their fish tacos being worth return trips for. Everything else is a notch pricier to other establishments but not significantly elevated in flavor. On this particular visit, I had the carne asada Outer Reef Burrito– cheese, lettuce, rice, beans, green sauce with a side of salsa. The steak was flavorful, but I could have done without the lettuce.
If I’m in the vicinity, I’d come back for some fish tacos or maybe to chill out in the bar or out on the patio with cerveza in hand.

Never had anything but fantastic food, good service, and extremely cold draft beers here!
Why do people think it’s ok to give a 1 star rating because the place was too busy, or an employee’s butt was too hot?
I haven’t tried to sit at the games in the bar though.

Won’t be bringing my business back to this Wahoo’s and I LOVE Wahoo’s. I’ll gladly drive to Boca Park.
This is the closest of the three valley locations to me, but I’ll make the trek to avoid this location.
My food at this location has generally always been subpar compared to other Wahoo’s, but this time my incorrect order PLUS the rudest bartender I have ever met in my life did the deed of hammering the final nail into the casket.
To be clear: I, as a Las Vegan, know and understand the gamers always have priority seating at machines at the bar and always keep that in mind when choosing to sit at the bar.
We walk in. We sit at the bar.
Now, my date and I asked the bar tender to break a $ 20 for us. We both took $ 10 of this and began to gamble. We ordered drinks, we ordered food. A couple regular parties walk in. There are 4 empty seats with machines available, but we get the looks. We are sitting at their precious normal machines.
This bartender had the NERVE to tell my boyfriend and me that she will move us if she has to because the machines are «reserved for active players.» Am I not actively gambling? I have pushed this button non-​stop since I have sat down. So while my man and I secretly discussed our shock under our breath, she noticed. She came over AGAIN and like a stern mother scolding her children she took a tone with us and repeated herself, all while I STILL count FOUR empty machines in the bar. We are the only people with food, drinks, AND actively gaming. Clearly, our 25 cent Keno wasn’t going to win her the high tips she would get when the professional bar gamblers hit their flushes and royals.
I am so livid that were blatantly treated like lower class for a higher paying regular gambler. I am not looking for free drinks while sitting at the bar, I am looking for a little gaming fun and to pass the time.
I’ll eat and Twin Peaks before returning here.

Special today:2 tacos and a Pacifico for $ 9.
I got the shrimp and carne asada with a side of fries and hubs got 2 carne asada with a side of white rice and Cajun beans. He said mix the rice and beans and it’s really good. I thought the shrimp taco was really good. It went well with the slaw mixture they put on the tacos.
The Pacifico was COLD!!! And it’s a good price for a 16 ounce.
I only gave 4 stars because the regular menu is a bit pricey for tacos.
Hubs was happy so we will be back for another visit. I think next time I’ll try an enchilada.
2^nd visit tonight. Pacifico still COLD! I had a chicken burrito wet with red sauce. It was really good. Ordered chips and salsa and the salsa was really really good. A bit spicy for me but very flavorful.
Hubs had a carne asada taco and a shrimp taco. He liked the shrimp taco better. Until next time…

In the mood for fish tacos I’ve always wondered about this place and decided to take a gamble. The décor here reminds me of a skate shop with a surfer vibe with stickers everywhere. The menu is pretty simple to choose from and lists the proteins you can choose from. Not just fish the have chicken and steak. Me and my mom both decided on the 2 taco plate with rice and beans. I got one fish and one chicken both Cajun with Cajun beans and white rice. Mom had two fish tacos white rice and black beans. The place was dead and I should’ve taken the hint. The food is just whatever. The fish was pretty bland and the chicken nothing Cajun about it. The white rice they served was old and crunchy. Beans had a good spice to them but the only thing that saved this dish was the slaw on top the tacos. It had a citrus dressing to it and was refreshing. It was supposed to be on the side instead of the black beans on my moms plate but I guess the cashier didn’t pay attention. The view from the bar area would be nice at night because you can see almost the entire valley including the strip but that would be all I came back here for if I ever didn’t decide to have a drink here but it probably won’t happen. You can get better fish tacos at del taco.

I’ve been here a couple of times and the burritos are awesome! The last visit I decided to try something different and got their taco salad (it’s called something else on the menu that I cannot remember.)
The taco salad was meh. I ordered with tofu as I am a vegetarian weening his way back to meat. Next time I will stick with what’s good to me and that’s the burritos, only this time with chicken.
Great place to grab a bite and don’t let the name fool you, they do more than just fish. And it makes for a great spot to catch sports. Came here for World Cup Soccer last year and will be back for the women’s World Cup this year.
