“The best meal we had on Kauai. We started with the Poke Nachos. They were great. Loved the wasabi cream. Wally's salad was very fresh and the dressing was excellent. I had the seafood special which was 3 different fish, served 3 different ways. My wife had the steak crown royal. It was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. She said that it was the best steak she had ever had in Hawaii. No room for dessert this time. Drinks were excellent as was the service.”

“If you want Mexican in Kauai THIS is the place!! My seafood burrito was superb and the service was spot on!! My hubby got the hibiscus cocktail and carnitas plate and LOVED it!! Go!!”

“I will absolutely miss this place! I came everyday and visited both locations. They were both amazing, the bigger store did have more, but I loved them both. Great locations and staff. It's a must!”

“Service was great! Fresh juice and coconut latte were yummy. I had the pancakes with Mac Nuts and Banana's with a side of Portuguese Sausage. The pancakes are huge and of the charts good as well as the sausage. Wife got the Loco Moco and upgraded her rice to fried rice and it was amazing! Cool atmosphere stop by when your cruising through town! Come hungry portions are big!”

“We wanted something close by and searched sandwiches and this place popped up. I loved the name and read the reviews. They were all amazing, but older. We LOvED our sandwiches and Tina and knew I wanted to write a review so there would be something more recent. We took our sandwiches to go and ate at Lydgate beach, just a short drive away. We are still sitting here perfectly content with full tummies and beautiful views!! These sandwiches were amazing!!! So glad to find some so delicious and close on this side of the island. Thank you Tina!!!”

“Made reservations here for my Birthday and was not disappointed! We arrived a bit early and the staff had our table ready within five minutes. We were given a complementary glass of champagne which was a nice surprise. It was a bit windy and they provided a blanket for me to keep warm. The views of the ocean and the food were absolutely amazing! I had the seared ahi and my partner had the braised boneless short rib. I can’t remember our server’s name but he was great! Would highly recommend.”

“Came here 10 years ago and just went again recently. It was just as perfect, if not even better! D (maybe Dee) saw that we had lots of littles and helped us plate up and carry our plates back to our table, I so appreciate her! Everyone was so kind. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Best poke I’ve had to date, so delicious and fresh. Spicy ahi was perfect! Excellent value for the quality and quantity. Quick and friendly service also. They have a parking lot to the left of the building with some tables as well!”

“This place is a hidden gem that is easily missed when you walk by it. Food came out really fast and the services was good. The food was homemade and I didn't feel gross afterwards. Will come back one day to try more of their food !”

“They are known for their fish tacos but this is my favorite place for a chicken tostada salad - fresh salsa, guacamole, and good chicken. The staff is always so nice.”

“The ahi nori wrap is to die for. I've been getting it for 20 years or however long Mermaids has been open, I don't miss a visit there at least once whenever I'm on island. Yeah, sometimes they aren't open when I wished they were, but it's worth coming back the next day...”

“The BBQ here is unbelievable! So tender and the seasoning is so good. If you're looking for good food this is the place. Workers there are so friendly and welcoming. I will be back. Thank you guys you rock!”

“This place is definitely a gem. Probably the best Mexican on the island. We had carnitas tacos, temales and a smothered carne asada burrito. All were delicious. There green salsa was incredible but not for wimps, spicy!”
