Wahoo's Fish Taco is a mid-sized U.S. fast-casual restaurant concept focused on grilled fish tacos with Asian and Brazilian influences. The brand was founded in 1988 in Costa Mesa, California by brothers Eduardo Lee, Mingo Lee, and Wing Lam, who blended traditional Chinese and Brazilian flavors with Mexican-inspired dishes encountered during their travels. The restaurants are bright and casual, with walls adorned by stickers and surfing memorabilia, reflecting a laid-back Southern California sensibility. Its core offering centers on accessible, fusion-focused tacos served in a fast-casual format.

The company is headquartered in Santa Ana, California and has expanded across California, Colorado, Hawaii, New York, Nebraska, and Texas. As a regional fast-casual operator, it targets diners seeking casual, flavorful meals that blend cross-cultural influences rather than traditional Mexican fare alone. A notable recent development is the opening of a Leander, Texas location in 2023, signaling ongoing growth. The overall footprint demonstrates a strategy of multi-state expansion while maintaining the brand’s informal, surf-inspired vibe.
