“This place is legit on every level. The restaurant and bar have the kindest most helpful and amazing staff...the kitchen is always consistent with providing the most delicious authentic flavors . I honestly can't say enough good things about Pancho's. It is one of the best restaurants in our city.“

“We've been going to Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen for years, and it never disappoints. It's become a tradition in our family—my wife celebrates her birthday there every year on Cinco de Mayo (we call it “Cinco de Kimo”), and it's always a great experience. The food is consistently excellent. The shrimp enchiladas are her go-to and absolutely worth it every time. we also had the short rib taquitos recently and it was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. And the margaritas? Always spot on. Great food, great drinks, and a place that's become part of our story.“

“My favorite place to go eat when i visit my family in Santa Ana. I usually get their Fish platter. With black beans, rice, and Ensenada style fish. Ive tried their grilled fish which is actually subpar, definitely their worse style. Blackened is good, but Ensenada style is where its at.“

“Super fresh Seafood 🦞 🐟 makes for elegantly prepared plates over-loading w/ shrimp or lobster or something else just as tasty. Sopes are amazing. Great menudo...lol. The dishes are served in such an incredible layout no matter the dish. Nice variety of beverages & You will think Ur on 1 of the 7 seas. Very authentic. Nice patio. Well maintained. Nice place to chill out and just hav a slow going delicious meal. ADA Compliance is good. Staff is outstanding. They aim 2 please and usually hit bullseye 🎯 1st try. Have.heard that the Bllood Mary's r rather good. Especially after 3 or 4. Awesome Clamato type drink as well. Beer selection is lean but mean. Actually hav larger selection than thought. That cuz they hav really hard to find beers in USA here. Everything fits to make heck Of a Meal.
We enjoy most everything but 1 in our family is allergic 2 avocados 🥑. Mor 4 Us. But they always go out of way to keep dish and prep in kitchen away from anything potentially dangerous. That's a whole nother level of quality service!
Was really cool when they showed off just how fast they make the Seven Sea's taste so delicious in kitchen area. They r blade masters. Amazing amount of seafood prepared any way You wish. Suggest menu items tho. Mite not seem like it but lots of catering and special occasions have been recommended and totally enjoyable. The presentation is artful. Fyi- This is 1 of last restaurants 2 survive last several decades in Old Town Orange 🍊...cuz has no competition at their level of offerings, quality, intuitive Staff, Super Chefs, & Happy management. It's nice having a wonderful tasting meal run smoothly that helps enhance GoodVibes
...cuz of the Good Peeps that always hav a smile and willingness to help. We etryN the specials and start w/ giant shrimp 🦐 cocktails for each of us & them share a few off menu. Ingredients so fresh it looks like just came off boat. Extremely well known for both seafood and diff kinds of soup. Large servings make already fair price much more of value. Plus it tastes so darn good 👍
Highly Recommend 🤙“

“I love the salsa! The young lady was so nice and the food was delicious“

“show up 😁“

“Had an issue with ants on the wall and table. Food was pretty good. Beans were a bit spicy for my kids but I enjoyed everything. Siete Mares had no crab so my daughter was kind of pissed off. Pulpo tostada and very good camerones a la diabla. I'll be back for a second review at some point.“

“Buena comida buena atención y excelente servicio“

“They also have large Mexican candy selection. The candy is cash only and funds get donated!“

“One of the best tamales I ever had.“

“Ratheesh, our experience having you cater our wedding was 10000000000/10. I can't tell you how much I appreciated you working with us to make a vegan Mexican menu that our guests all absolutely loved. You made it so classy (the mango, the quality of the food, the presentation, everything) I was blown away. It was everything I hoped for and more. Thank you for everything and hope we get to work with you again!!“

“Me and coworker were looking for a decent Mexican restaurant for some tacos in this area, not too far from work bc traffic … But glad we tried this place. Carnitas taco was my favorite. The fact that I could eat that alone without any salsas, delicious. You can actually taste the meat for what it is. Very friendly staff. Coworker got carnitas burrito and loved it.“

“el caldo de chivo estuvo delicioso 😋😋😋“

“Reminds me of home. A lady helped me and she was so sweet. I didn’t see it on their menu but i saw her checking on something while i made up my mind. It was pork in chile verde my favorite! I asked her if i can get that she said of course and brought it to my table. It felt like a home cooked meal. I will come again when I’m in the area.“

“Drove up from San Diego! Worth it!“

“best chorizo in town..try it and you will love it😋“

“If you saw it from the outside, you probably wouldn't think you could buy prepared food here. But it's legit, the enchiladas are probably some the best flavor wise I've eaten. Red or green sauce always good. Tortas are pinpoint and simple. Street tacos are good, just ask for extra cilantro and onions. Salsa is key...very good“

“Drove up from San Diego! Worth it!“

“Excellent, we enjoyed bringing our staff to celebrate the Christmas Holiday“

“Wow, great tacos! That was my first thought when I bit into my Carnitas taco.

I wanted something from a local family run Place and this fit the bill. The Carnitas taco were tinged with lime which made it amazing. Although the tacos are small they are stuffed with meat, very filling. I also got the Al pastor and the barbacoa. I tasted the other two but only ate one. The barbacoa was OK but it wasn’t my favorite, but very juicy. ($2.75/taco cash)

I loved that they gave me a bag of chips in my to go order. The salsa is a fresh chunky salsa and quite spicy. I don’t like the pureed type salsa because I don’t think it usually has a good flavor. I was happy with the fresh chunky style they serve.

This is definitely a hole in the wall. It was very busy at lunchtime. Coming up to the building it looks quite grubby but I pushed past that knowing that I had great ratings. I’m glad I did. It’s definitely not an updated, well kept restaurant but the food was great. I met a family who said they’ve been coming for years and love the food.

If you want mom and pop Place it seems to be very popular with good prices, check this place out.“

“EXCELLENT CABEZA AND CHORIZO....have a home-made flavor and mouthfeel that distinguishes this place from other taquerias. I can also recommend them for catering. Their quesadillas & tacos at parties are the absolute best...off the chain. A+++“

“This place is a top notch quality, Mexican restaurant with good service, good vibes, and amazing food, bith delicious, quality ingredients. I was very impressed. Staff is very professional and nice, welcoming and hospitable. And the game World Series game was on , ao was extra fun! Definitely a go to now for a good Mexican food night out.“

“Best food casera in town! Yo lo recomiendo. Y seguire viniendo.“

“Great food, great service!“

“My friend has been here before, but it's my first time. This place reminded me of Knotts Berry Farm with a country building design with different colored sections.

There's parking behind and along the side of the restaurant. The entrance wasn't that obvious for us, but it's the one with the double wooden doors facing the street.

We came in on a Sunday morning and they were pretty busy, but we were seated right away. The place was clean the decorations looked modernized.

I had the Arthur's omelet (which you have an option to have it made as an omelet, scrabbled, or in a skillet (which the egg is basically layered on top of your meat/potatoes). This dish was unique and delicious! It was big enough to have some for leftovers. This was my first time seeing polish & Italian sausage in an omelet. They'll ask you how you want your potatoes. It wasn't too clear how, but just ask the server. I had mine country style that had onions and bellpeppers. The spinach on this other dish was a nice addition. I'm not usually into muffin dishes, but this was also delicious!

This prices are about the same as Purge breakfast places like Ihop, but this place has a more hearty home cooked taste and feel. We're definitely coming back to try more dishes.“

“Friendly staff and delicious authentic Mexican food!“

“Wahoo's Fish Tacos in Old Towne Orange, California, is a healthy haven that hits the spot! Their menu is packed with good-for-you options that don't skimp on flavor. We love daily and weekly specials. Especially in summer 🌞 time. 2025 has been a tasty year so far:))
Such a wonderful location.... peaceful and delicious.
Fish tacos and black beans original dish.
But the Banzai Bowl - it's a mountain of fresh veggies and brown rice topped with grilled fish or tofu is super popular for those with any dietary issues. Their fish tacos are legendary, and the Classic is my go-to. The fish is always perfectly grilled, and the cabbage mix adds a nice crunch. Sigg the pico de Gallo & salsa station near soda fountain machine.

Their drinks are top-notch too! They have a very unique ice packed chest into counter next to cash register with Mexican beers and sodas...has water, teas And other options. But the real star is the patio. It's huge, open, and surrounded by trees, like a cathedral of sunshine. There's always a nice breeze, and it's the perfect place to chill after a meal.

The staff are always super friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make sure everyone feels welcome, especially people with disabilities. I've seen them help people with wheelchairs and walkers, and they always do it with a smile. I'm 1 of them:))

And the location is right in the heart of Old Towne Orange, in a beautiful plaza that's a National Landmark. You can see all kinds of historic buildings & Landmarks from the patio including Plaza ⛲ Park 🏞️ & Orange 🍊 Square ⏺️ .
Chill place to be. So if you're looking for healthy, delicious food in a beautiful setting, Wahoo's Old Towne Orange 🍊 is the place to go!“
