And then I made an impulse buy of a neatly-wrapped chocolate chip blondie ($1.35) made by local Chewy's Cookie Shoppe, LLC. I ordered four tacos ($2.69 each) with carne asada, sauteed mushrooms, grilled salmon and grilled white fish - I'm pretty sure it was cod, although the menu was non-specific a shrimp enchilada ($2.94) and a platter with a cajun-grilled fish taco, fish taquitos, rice and black beans ($7.99). Wahoo's is set up so that you can pick tacos, enchiladas or rice bowls choose your fillings and sides grab a beer or a glass of wine if the mood and then wait for your meal in a somewhat comfortable wooden booth or at a table. Yet another thing I adore about fast-casual restaurants is the ease of ordering - and the almost-immediate results. The first store was on a street littered with surf -wear shops like Billabong, Quiksilver and Rip Curl, and surfers would cover the walls with stickers from their brands - and the décor stuck. Wahoo's was founded in Costa Mesa, California, in 1988 by brothers Eduardo Lee, Mingo Lee and Wing Lam, who were apparently huge fans of Mexican food they developed a menu with hints of Brazilan and Chinese fare, as well as an obvious surf-y Cali feel. The restaurant was warm and pleasantly beach-bum-ish, with bumper-stickered walls and surfboards everywhere a tasty aroma of corn tortillas and cilantro filled the air. Hungry and remembering that taco, I headed through the April snow to the Wahoo's at 8100 Northfield Boulevard in Stapleton for dinner and a reminder that summer will come.some day. It is also one of the best tasting fish for our taste, and thus a must in this list. Grouper has a lack of bones that makes it easier to cook and eat with little preparation. The first time I tried a Wahoo's fish taco, it came from a cold box in the fridge (roommate and new boyfriend were too busy going through that fuzzy-pink-stupid phase to eat their restaurant leftovers, so I did), and despite being a few hours old and chilly, the grilled salmon taco, smothered with some sort of addictive green sauce, was delicious. For example, red grouper has a more sweet and mild taste than black grouper and is usually considered the better tasting option. The Truffle's Rob Lawler on Spam musubi, brains, glutards and his favorite cheese Best vegetarian burrito Wahoo's Fish Taco Wahoo's Fish Taco High-octane margs fuel enlightenment. And the signature fish tacos are a real treat this far from any ocean. Wahoo does not share the same full-flavored taste attributes as mackerel, and alternatively, is mild, sweet and robustly steaky. That makes Wahoo's Fish Taco a rare fish in the fast-food sea: It not only has a decent-sized roster of wheatless and meatless items, but they're actually good. I have great sympathy for folks who can't digest gluten (as opposed to fakers who affect gluten allergies for attention), as well as those who can't or don't eat meat - because they face very limited menu options if they dare to dine out.
