Based on others reviews I was excited to eat here. My husband and I were in the mood for fish tacos and wanted a local, hole in the wall type place. I you want fancy don't go here, it's in a strip mall next to food land and there is zero ambiance. However, the food is what you come here... More

Took us a bit to find this place but it was well worth it! We got the fish taco and Ahi Tostada. Huge portions and great fresh fish! Quick and friendly service as well. It was very well priced and though we didn't do this I noticed that they have happy hour margaritas at certain times for $3.

My wife and I went to this place after reading so many bad reviews of other local places. This place was a nice surprise. The food is inventive and good, and the prices were reasonable. Excellent service.

We loved this restaurant. The service is outstanding and incredibly friendly, the food is excellent and the house margaritas are fine. It was packed the entire time we were there -- Mother's Day evening -- but the guys working there were very helpful in making sure that we could find a table. Dylan, the guy who took our order was...

Awesome local Mexican style restaurant in Kapaa. Service was perfect , food was great. Had the Carne adobada burrito ... Awesome! If you enjoy local eats with great service and food.. Don't miss this one! Place is small but food was good enough that I'd eat it in the parking lot if the tables were full.

Had dinner here one night. I was expecting so much more. The essential part of the meal(taco, enchilada) was fine but the sauces were terrible. Absolutely no flavor. You could taste hot and that was about it. I don't mind the heat at all, just give some spices or something in there with it. Items were way overpriced. $16 for... More

We had dinner here on April 24. It was one of the best meals we had in our week in Kauai. The shrimp tacos were excellent as was the beef ones..and good margaritas! It is very small, nothing fancy in decor, and hard to find in a strip mall! BUT, the food was fresh and outstanding.

Excellent fish tacos and margaritas served with a smile and positive attitude. These guys have a great thing going and should keep it up! This is a small, very casual restaurant in a strip mall where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. If you like fresh, good food, this is a great choice. Fairly... More

When you walk in, you order at the counter, then they seat you. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't know what to do. Once my wife and I figured that out, we had a great meal. I got the chicken burrito smothered and was only able to eat half of it. I'm not one to leave food on the... More

My husband and I ate there tonight based on a Fodor's recommendation and Trip Adviaor reviews. The reviewers didn't lie; this place is really good. I had the ahi fish tacos ($1 extra) and my husband had the al pastor burrito. Both were delicious, as were the margaritas. And our chips and salsa were free with an alcoholic drink. Bill... More
