Wahoo's Fish Tacos Turns Twenty-Years-Old
Categories: Chain Reactions, Things To Look Forward To

It wasn't until years later, when they'd already opened their other Costa Mesa location on Bristol and Baker, that I tried one.
This February 22, the original Wahoo's will have a grand reopening of their first Costa Mesa store (1862 Placentia Ave., Costa Mesa, Calif. 92626), where the self described "Mexican-Brazilian-Asian" chain started.
The place has been remodeled, and there will be a ribbon-cutting, $0.20 tacos, prizes, red-carpet stuff to celebrate their 20 years in business as one of O.C.'s home-bred success stories. Festivities go from 10:20 AM - 3 PM on Sunday, Feb. 22.
Although I don't particularly care for their fish tacos (I like 'em deep fried and unhealthy, thank you very much) they're about the only chain I know that serves authentic-tasting sambal (Indonesian chili paste). I slather gobs of it over my Wahoo's meal of choice: the carne asada wet burrito.
Haven't tried their sambal? Well, they don't call it that. Ask for Mr. Lee's Hot Sauce. And then ask for water.
