“Verde is one of our family favorites...Kids love it we love it. The atmosphere is epic, the food is awesome, and major shout out to our most recent server! She was attentive, but more than that she was dynamic and seemed like she genuinely cared about our experience. She was behind the bar when we first arrived and then our server, she interacted with our son and equally with us offering suggestions and a great experience. Mahalo nui loa to Kolo and Verde for providing a excellent family night out in the big city!“
“First, I'd suggest imagining yourself in the middle of a verdant green mountainous landscape floating in the Pacific Ocean. Only a few buildings dot the miles-long single-lane path that cuts through the vegetation on this beautiful island in a place it seems that time has forgotten. That's where every review of this restaurant should begin. On Kauai, where only a few restaurants are still in business after the pandemic... On Kauai, where less than a handful of Mexican people live... On Kauai, where not every restaurant is open every day... Mariachi's is perfect for Kauai. We visited on a holiday weekend, Friday night, staying at a resort nearby. It's Kauai, so it's no surprise both local pizzerias were closed. The popular restaurant on the beach was on a 45-minute wait. The only other place in this center was also full of big families. However, Mariachi's piping Mariachi music into the air, and the hostess greeted me in Spanish. There were a few empty tables. We were taken to a balcony table overlooking the garden landscape. Soon after, we were drinking tequila shots and pouring from a pitcher of Modelo Especíal. Perfecto. The menu has everything from nachos to chile rellenos. The tempting meat options include carnitas, shredded and ground beef, roasted chicken, and fish and shrimp. The items are reasonably priced, too, ranging from $14-$22 for each plate. We ordered burritos, tacos, and nachos with shredded beef, carne asada, and chicken. The food was delicious. In this environment, at this moment, everything was perfect. I hope others get to come and enjoy the experience. The staff was really helpful and friendly too. Gracias por todo!“
“We have heard great things about this truck, so we finally tried it and are so glad we did! We ordered the shrimp tacos and Cali Burrito, and both were delicious. The salsas were particularly good, with the right amount of heat. I look forward to going back and trying other items on the menu!“
“Delicious burritos! Staff got us seated very quickly. A bit over pricey and it didn’t make much sense to me that pico, sour cream, and cheese aren’t already included in any burrito, making it much less worth the price. But fajita veggies were super well done!Chips and salsa are also not complimentary!“
“Delicious food and great service! While it is small and very much a hole in the wall restaurant, don’t be scared off!! Their burritos and bowls are delicious and stayed together quite well. Everything had a lot of good flavor and the service was efficient and friendly. We enjoyed it so much that we came back a second time before we left Kauai!“
“Fish and Shrimp tacos were really good! The homemade salsa and pico were great! Disappointed that they were out of guacamole both times we went.Service was pretty slow and seating wasn’t anything special at all, but the tacos made it well worth a second visit!“
“Tiny little food truck serving up BIG flavors. Might be some of the best tacos I've ever had. Hubby and I traded tacos from getting an order of two each and both were delicious. Octopus Tacos had great sauce and cooked perfectly - you can tell how fresh by the buttery texture. Grilled fish enchilada taco was especially good with the added hot sauce. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for seafood tacos with flavor at a reasonable price. We parked in the lot next door which seemed fine, we ate so quickly at the picnic tables there that not sure if you can get in trouble parking there or not“
“Super cozy place with authentic Mexican food. We recommend the Al Pastor meat. It was so good we had to order some more tacos! It is a family place, very friendly and close. If we had found this place earlier we would have definitely come back!“
“Taco truck with umbrella shaded tables, views of the beach and fresh caught mahi.I ordered a side of the fish along with my tacos and was not disappointed.Perfectly cooked Mahi seasoned with just enough salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavor.Super generous portions and delicious sauces and guac.BONUS: acai, thai, and coffee food trucks nearby as well.“
“Loved going to this truck when it was parked at The Warehouse in Lawai. I've eaten tacos and burrito bowls from here it's always delicious and the service is so fast and friendly , they will answer any questions you may have about the menu. I came here more than a few times I really enjoyed it. And the prices were decent too, not too expensive.“
“Taco connoisseurs here. 5 star flavor, took off a star just cuz they were super expensive. But their blackened fish tacos and bowl were extremely good and we’d get them again. The shrimp tacos were great too. They were out of carne asada which must mean they’re good (we went at the end of the day). The food looked like their photos and was delicious.“

“Very nice experience. There are ancient Hawaiian ruins on the left side of the entrance. The location has nice spacious green views which makes it peaceful. Place is clean friendly staff and the food… I had the Green Chile Burrito- $12.45 Thursday Special. It was delicious!“
“Celebrated our 1st Anniversary. Food and Service are tops! Amazing choices on menu whether really hungry or just something light.Yes! Would return again....next time we're in Kauai.Feel fortunate we found this place on a Sunday night in Kapa'a.“
“Obviously Taco Bell is not fine dining. I enjoy some fine dining!But as far as fast food goes, it don't GET no betta! The food is consistently good and always looks and tastes very fresh. AND in this time of a fast food burger meal costing upwards of of $17, it's pretty darn reasonable!“
