Wahoo's Fish Taco — Restaurant in Encinitas

When we arrived a few minutes before official time open of 11am, Wahoo's doors were unlocked so we entered the quiet restaurant. It didn't stay that way. Although, we were the first to enter the store, I noticed, people waiting in their cars. Wahoo patrons quickly followed so we allowed others to order first before us since we weren't ready with selections.

We, party of 3, feasted on yummy fresh fish tacos plate and french fries! There is a petite yet robust salsa bar with Maria's salsa, a Wahoo's speciality.

Heard Wahoo's radio advertisement on Relevant Radio 1000. As an unbastardized Catholic, cleaned up from receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation aka Penance aka Confession, I thought mistakenly we were lovingly mandated to fast on Friday for the good our our souls. However, during Christianity's highest holiest season, we don't. It's feast time! Besides, I chose to go to Wahoo's because fasting or not, Wahoo's has great food!

Also, Divine Mercy Sunday (see image below) was coming up Sunday April 28. This Second Sunday after Easter is a special time to receive Mercy, God's highest form of love, the holy indulgences, FINCH: Feast, Indulgence, Novena, Chaplet, Hour of 3pm Holy power hour!

Usually our experience at the Costa Mesa Wahoos is amazing, every time we come in from Arizona we make sure to stop by.

But this time we came to the Encinitas location. This restaurant deserves three stars from me solely because one of the female employees that checked us out.

We were first in line and she didn’t greet us as we were standing there waiting. Instead she looks at the regulars behind us and says “are you ready” to them and their rude selves proceed to just walk ahead of us anyway without even asking if we were in line.

We decided to not make it a big ordeal and let the mistake pass. But once we finally get to the check out she greets us with a sassy attitude saying “are you ready now?”

I don’t understand why great locations hire snotty people who ruin the experience. This location is great otherwise than the experience with this employee. Check her.

Never write reviews but this was really annoying hearing her speak to my girlfriend in the tone of voice that she did. Can understand if she was a teenager but this was a...

Good nutritious food. I used to eat at this place almost every day the original one in Costa Mesa however that was 30 something years ago. I was happy that the food was very similar to what it was then although it wasn't as great of an experience as I remember it back then I felt a little more franchised and the one thing that kind of was strange as it felt a little fishy when I first walked in and the food was great and I didn't get sick or anything like that it was great but but it smelt a little fishy which I wasn't used to.,,,, it also needs to be a real bargain and it felt a little more expensive more on the medium-priced meals instead of a real bargain like it was but again that was quite a long time ago. The gentleman that was running it was was very courteous and attentive although I had a hard time understanding his English at times. All in all I didn't regret being there and which is why I gave it a four-star don't know if it will be my favorite spot to eat that it was it was...
