Tiki Taco is a hidden gem found during a Museum Walking Tour. The Hawaiian shaved ice is a must-try on a muggy day, refreshing and delicious. The island fish tacos and steak and cheese tacos are highly recommended, especially with the house-made hot sauce. The menu has options for kids, like tasty quesadillas. The Hawaiian ice flavors exceed expectations, with mango ice as a top pick. The food is flavorful, with fresh poke and interesting fusion tacos. While slightly pricier, the service is quick and friendly.
The concept of reinventing the taco with a Hawaiian twist is intriguing, but the execution needs some refinement. The pork belly was overly salty, while the jerk chicken lacked the expected seasoning and freshness. However, the service was fast, and the taco trio is a filling and well-filled option, with a variety of meats like chicken, salmon, kalbi, tofu, and brisket. The texture of the shaved ice was good, though the lillikoi syrup didn't quite capture the passion fruit flavor. The friendly and helpful staff create a welcoming atmosphere.
