This place seems closed down. Drove here twice in 2 weeks thinking it might be a remodel. There should be an update, post, or correction to change the business to closed.

Went there because its close and I wanted to try a new place. Thank goodness I kept my receipt because they didn't make my spouses food, saying they forgot, and only made it cause I could prove I paid for it. So not only was it late, they got the order wrong even with the receipt right there. Cherry on top was that we were the only ones there so there's really no excuse. Will not be going back.

Had heard great things about this place from a friend who said it was the best Mexican on island. Took a drive from the east side to check it out with the fam, and it was pretty easy to find, located in a shopping center.They have an extensive menu with all the classics, they have a free condiments where you can pile on the salsa.Tried a selection of tacos, plates and chimichanga … they were good, but not the best Mexican on island. If you live close by, probably a solid choice for dinner any night of the week.

First bite to eat after getting off plane. Not much seating for small groups, front windows very dirty. Ordered shrimp tacos. Ceviche and Carne asada tacos. The shrimp tacos had 2 shrimp in each taco as pictured. Carne asada tacos.. meat had been sitting too long, not fresh. The ceviche was not bad.Plenty of parking and not too far from Aloha stadium but I would not return and neither would anybody in my group.Parking: No problem fining parking

Cashier was unhappy. She did not want to be there. We were a big group traveling and wanted to try this local restaurant. Food was good but cashier service was poor.

Worst restaurant I have ever been to. What kind of restaurant can't even add side items to an order. Don't waste your time or money. Horrible customer service. Staff acts like they are doing you a favor.
I have been spoiled growing up in Arizona and eating “authentic” Mexican food. We ordered a bean and cheese burrito and got a warm tortilla with whole pinto beans and cold cheese. We also ordered a burrito grande and it came out faster than the kid’s burrito. The carne asada had a fish taste to it (I’m sure a result of sharing cook tops or bowls) and the beans were whole as well, which isn’t bad, but I am used to refried beans. I paid a $2.50 to add guacamole and had maybe a teaspoon in it. Oh well, check this one off the list, nothing to write home about.

Amazing flavor and great music. Me being from California I'd say this is very close to home and I loved it. The Al Pastor burrito with everything in it and a pineapple Jarrito.

I drive for delivery apps and my experience was horrible here. She kept saying “you’re only an delivery driver, nobody cares, you are automatically in the back of the line, yet I am there to pick up 3 orders for customers who paid a premium to get your food deliveried to them. The manager wouldn’t even tell me how long it would take. I asked her politely and she responded with “I don’t know!” And I asked if she could check and she replied with the same answer. Not a pleasant person at all. Stay away from this place they are not friendly people. In fact she had everyone in the place feeling pretty uncomfortable. Very bad vibes. And they are the ones who partner with doordash/uber/bitesquad. If you don’t care about the customers who decide to use food delivery than why bother teaming up?I also would like to say I did follow up via phone the next day, I asked to speak to a manager (this is how I found out she was the manager) to see if maybe she wasn’t a bad person and she was just having a bad day but I got the same treatment on the phone. “Your just a delivery boy, who cares”. Does she not understand that they lost 3 very large orders that night because they had to be completely canceled because she wouldn’t even pick up the phone for one of the apps I work for. It’s just crazy to me how she can be the manager, if the owner knew about this he/she wouldn’t be happy I’m sure. I can only imagine all of the business she has pushed away. And than she went on to tell me that they only have one very old man back there doing all the work and he is there from morning to night, I feel that is against some sort of labor law. If he is that overworked maybe hire some people, if you pay them right and treat them right many people would gladly take the job but I get why they can’t find anyone, no one wants to deal with the manager.The thing that sucks is I wouldnt have mind waiting. I just wanted a general idea of how long it might be, as delivery drivers are paid by the order off of tips, our base pay is nearly nothing and I mean literally. We don’t get paid by the hour and even 15 minutes during prime time can totally mess up your earnings. But honestly that is besides the point, she literally had just shown that she doesn’t care about her customers that buy using food delivery apps. She didn’t seem to care about her customers at all. As she was yelling at me I don’t know!, I don’t know!” just because I asked a simple question. She definitely has no care in the world about wasting the time of others that’s for sure.

Hold in the wall taco place that has the best food in Hawaii. I’m a visitor. Ate a few nice places. Here limited time. Had to visit this place two times. Sounds crazy but the chicken quesadilla will change your life.

Had carne asada tacos. They were delicious. Plenty of different salsas to top them with. If you like TJ style tacos it’s the place. I’ll be back for half price Taco Tuesday. The cashier was friendly and told me about taco Tuesday!
