Wahoo’s Marks 38 Years with Free Community Celebration in Costa Mesa
10.15.25
Wahoo’s will celebrate its 38th anniversary with a free community event on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. at its original Costa Mesa location, 1862 Placentia Ave. The celebration will feature live music, giveaways, and a chance to meet the brand’s founders, Wing, Ed, and Mingo Lam.
The first 100 guests who bring a pet supply donation for local nonprofit The Good Pawject will receive free tacos, a limited-edition Wahoo’s × Girlfriends T-shirt printed on-site, complimentary CaliWater beverages, and special giveaways from event partners.
Guests can enjoy live music from Girlfriends, Orange County’s breakout band, along with photo opportunities and a festive afternoon celebrating the surf and skate–inspired brand’s deep community roots.
Founded in 1988, Wahoo’s has grown from a small Costa Mesa taco stand into a beloved multistate brand blending Mexican, Brazilian, and Asian flavors inspired by the Lam brothers’ heritage and surf adventures. The company continues to champion fresh food, surf culture, and community connection as part of its mission to “fuel your adventures” and “nourish communities.”
Wahoo’s, 1862 Placentia Ave., Costa Mesa, CA 92626
