Wahoo’s Fish Taco, the iconic chain hailing from Southern California renowned for its original fish taco and Pacific-inspired cuisine, proudly introduces a refined and elevated brand identity. With a fresh tagline, updated store design, and revamped logo, Wahoo’s embarks on a new era while commemorating its 35th anniversary.

Embracing the ethos of "Living the Wahoo’s Way," the brand preserves its roots in vibrant Southern California beach culture while infusing a modern twist into its nearly 60-unit chain.

Evoking imagery of catching the perfect wave or savoring a delectable meal crafted from premium ingredients, this motto encapsulates the essence of Wahoo’s for generations to come.

Established in 1988 by brothers Wing Lam, Ed Lee, and Mingo Lee, Wahoo’s draws inspiration from their diverse upbringing in Brazil, surf adventures in Baja California, and family legacy in the restaurant industry.
