We are a family of 3 who came all the way from Australia to taste their delicious tacos and Mexican food. I had the Lengua Taco (tongue) and it was sensational. Of all the fast food we had in our 21 day Hawaiian islands vacation, tacos al pastor was by far the best, freshest and tastiest. Having a real Mexican... More

Tacos with chipotle beans and rice and a diet coke was $12. The fish was fresh Ono and grilled very well. They had several other taco dishes. Food truck surrounded by a couple of other places to eat or drink. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location on edge of town and by bike and beach stuff rentals

We saw this taco stand made out of a trailer in the downtown area of Kapaa, Hawaii since we arrive. It was not until the previous day of our departure that we could make it to "investigate". My wife and I are born and raised in Mexico, so tacos, and the business of it is part of our make up.... More

I had the fresh Ahi Tacos two days ago. They were really good, and service was warm and friendly. My husband had the Al Pastor Tacos, and the meat was dry. For $10-12, I would have expected something better. If you've eaten at a taqueria in Mexico, this certainly will not measure up, however, if you are looking for a... More

My husband and I stopped here on a whim because we were starving and couldn't find anything else that sounded halfway appealing. Well we were glad we did stop! We both had the al pastor tacos which is pork cooked on a rotisserie type thing. It was something a little different than we were used to but very filling! You... More

This was a great stop along Kihuo Highway in Kapaa. Sat next to two locals who said the cook in the truck "is a real chef!" It did not disappoint. The Ahi fish was excellent (seared but not overcooked) and the acoutrements were great--the rice and beans it came with were very tasty and obviously homemade. A good value at... More

Don't miss this! We drove from Poipu to Kapaa just for this and we were not disappointed. I had the fish tacos and my wife had the chicken - both were excellent.
