We had the macadamia encrusted mahi mahi and it was VERY thickly breaded. Not our style. The side if veggies that came with it were very tasty though! We also had a few of the $2 fish tacos during happy hour. Again, not very flavorful in our opinion. I added some Tabasco and that helped. The service was nice and... More

Chef Todd is from the states and was unbelievable. The family that owns the restaurant are very hospitable and made us feel like we were dining in their own... More

My boyfriend and I went fishing earlier in the day and caught a beautiful Dorado. We asked the captain where we should get it prepared, and he just nodded and said...Wahoos. So we stopped by with half of the portion of fish we kept and said we would love 3 dishes, how much? $10 per dish style, they said. First... More

We take everyone here. The food is consistently good. Favorites are the happy hour specials like the grilled avocado and the shrimp Mac & Cheese. Open air, but the fans actually help. Never too hot really. Owners are always on site and provide personal service. You have to put this on your list when visiting Jaco.

We walked by and were drawn in by the menu outside. Good food, good service. Had fish and was very well prepared. Nice atmosphere, good to relax and enjoy the meal.

The service was excellent, no one made us feel more comfortable and taken care of than Kattia during our stay in Costa Rica. The food was excellent with many choices at very reasonable prices. By far my favorite place to eat while in Jaco.

In a town with a great deal of American ownership, Wahoo's is a great way to experience some genuine Costa Rica. This restaurant is rightly rated highly in Jaco so it was surprising to find ourselves the only table there. We are in the transition period to Rainy Season, so I imagine this is true all around. Food was simple... More

We ate at Wahoos twice during our stay in Jaco. The food was exceptional, the coffee outstanding (from a local farmer), and Gloriana, her Mother and Adriana were very gracious. We thoroughly enjoyed our chat with Gloriana about highlights of the area and her plans with decorating the restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful experience! It should be a must... More

We loved this restaurant. Chef Ramsey (the nice one) came out and talked with us. The food is delicious, especially the avocado and ahi appetizer! Chef Ramsey even gave us the recipe so we can replicate it at home. Everything is so fresh and it is a must visit for lunch or dinner.

Our large group dined here last night and thought the food was delicious. The chef greeted us upon arrival and told us he would make anything for the kids. I had the lobster special and thought it was devine. Other had the fajitas, tuna and avocado appetizer, caesar salad and seafood rice, all of which were equally wonderful. We will... More
