I went along to Wahoo's with some friends, not knowing what to expect other than fish tacos -- and I really don't like fish tacos. That's how much I like these friends, basically.
Well the good news is, there are plenty of other things to eat. I got a Hawaiian burrito, which was basically a teriyaki beef burrito with Hawaiian onion rings (in the burrito) and delicious sauce and it was amazing.
For me, a big part of whether I enjoy a burrito is whether the tortilla is very high quality and whether it's wrapped well enough to not make a mess. Yes and yes. And the filling was delicious too. I'd probably order that again if I went back.
The ambiance is very casual. You can order at the counter or have sit-down service. It was a little ambiguous how to get sit-down service. Our group stood on the patio chatting for about fifteen minutes, standing in the midst of the seating area and no one ever approached us or invited us to sit or told us how it worked.
I honestly am not sure if one of our group finally went and asked someone about what to do, or whether we just sat at the table and hoped for the best. But we sat at a high top table that could accommodate our group. Ouch my back.
And eventually a server came and gave us very sticky menus.
I ordered a mango drink (spicy mangorita?) which tasted like juice with no detectable alcohol. And I'm someone who feels a buzz from drinking half of a light beer. If I didn't feel that drink, neither will you.
Overall though the service was very friendly, and she brought us five separate bills so that was very accommodating. She also very cheerfully and promptly brought me some extra sauce for my burrito. Loved the server and I'm sorry I didn't catch her name.
With my rating -- my gut feeling was that this was a three star experience. Some really good, but several features kind of bad and unpleasant. I swear those menus hadn't been wiped down in weeks. That was so terrible! Wipe your menus!
But when I thought about it, even with so many strikes against it -- fish tacos (no!), high top tables (no!), not being greeted for an extended period (no!), weak expensive drink (oh hail no!), and the very sticky menus (this alone will usually ensure that I never come back) --I actually enjoyed the burrito so much, and the friendly accommodating server so much, that I would actually come back.
So go figure. Against all rhyme or reason I'd give this experience 4 stars. Probably doesn't hurt that I was there with a wonderful group of friends -- and we were there three hours on a weekend and were never rushed out the door.
