50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Aiea

“The food is fantastic and the staff is so friendly. Outstanding, authentic Mexican ceviche and service. The tuna tostada and Cabo taco were delicious as well. Anyone looking for great Mexican seafood, this is the place to go in the island.“

“This is my go-to spot after I get my hair cut at nearby Major League barber shop. The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch. I've had the pollo asada and the chorizo & egg tacos, both with rice and beans. 🤤 This is a Veteran/family owned business that takes their food creations and customer relations seriously. It is also SoCal Mex based flavor-wise and takes me back to the neighborhood taco shops in L.A. and San Diego. I look forward to eventually trying everything on the menu.“

“Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Stopped at the taco truck in Pearl City in Hawaii and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hellfire tacos ain't no joke! Spicy and delicious.“

Lots of love goes into this food and you can tell it is home made. So yummy! And everyone was extremely nice. Thank you for the good food and service!!!!“

“The vegetarian tacos were so good, and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend this place if you‘re in the area!“

“Good food, friendly customer service, fun ambience. Good place to go, whether you’re by yourself or part of a party. Everyone’s welcome! Not much else to say. It is a small restaurant with a small parking lot, so space fills up quickly, especially on weekends.“

“One of THE BEST tacos I’ve had here in Hawaii so far. I had both al pastor and Asada. The place is beautiful and the attention from the lady at the front was top notch!

Parking: I did not know, but the stalls on the side of the building are theirs. Also you can park in the front where the cones are, which is also theirs.“

“If you're needing a tamale fix Tios has your back!! Be sure to get some.green chili.“

“Now called Javi’s. Food was great! The waitress was super nice and attentive. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh. I wish the queso dip wasn’t over $12, but the other dishes are reasonably priced. BYOB at the moment until they get their liquor license. There’s a market next door that might have alcoholic beverages. There’s parking lot is a little cramped, so massive trucks would be hard to park in there.“

“Delicious carnitas, regardless of which way you choose to eat them! The carnitas are marinaded and slow cooked to perfection! I could just eat the pork by itself! The burritos are HUGE!!!

It's a food truck, so properly prepare for the weather!“

“Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Stopped at the taco truck in Pearl City in Hawaii and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hellfire tacos ain't no joke! Spicy and delicious.“

“This place has authentic Mexican flavours! I’ve only tried the Al Pastor and birria burrito, but recommend both. The meats are freshly smoked and delicious. The salsas also have incredible flavour, but are authentic in spice level, so try a small amount first if you’re sensitive. Really glad to have found this place after trying many different mediocre Mexican places on the island. A bit dangerous that it’s just a short walk away, I’ll need more self control.“

“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Tacos!
This small spot may have limited seating, but it more than makes up for it with friendly service and incredibly flavorful tacos. Whether you’re into carnitas, al pastor, chicken, or the vegetarian rajas, every option is worth trying (seriously—try them all!). Taco Tuesday gets pretty busy, and for good reason. It’s a must-visit whether you’re dining in or grabbing food to go. They also serve soft drinks along with classic Mexican beverages like horchata and hibiscus water (Jamaica). Highly recommended!“

“Finally had the chance to walk over to Lahaina Tacos for lunch while my car was charging at Aloha Tower 🔋.

Mahalo for the friendly service and delicious food at a great price! I’m especially happy with their veggie options—and even more thrilled to find rice in the burrito. It really hit the spot and reminded me of the Mission burritos I’ve missed since leaving San Francisco 🌯💚“

“Best Mexican in Honolulu hands down“

“Good authentic Mexican food, good service! Local style friendly!!!“

“I have yet to have a bad time at Margaritas! This is my Friday night hangout wether I’m with my friends or with my hubby we always enjoy the food, drinks, atmosphere and the staff.“

“Try it...you'll love it!!! It's not big restaurant, but that's what I loved about it and it gave authentic from the front door! Best Mexican food I've had since I got here. On the back of the menu, it says BYOB and my husband said I'll be back...lol! He went right to the drug store and got a 6 pk. We will definitely back!“

“Best burrito in Hawaii! And great margaritas to go with it!“

“Some of the better Mexican food that we've had on island.
The fajitas veggies needed to be cooked a little longer but tasted good.
Chips salsa and guacamole was pretty good.
Great customer service and ambiance.
We will be going back.“

“It’s tough to find truly good Mexican food in Hawaii, but Taqueria El Ranchero in Kapolei was a total win! We started with chips and salsa along with the chorizo queso – both were full of flavor and a great way to kick things off. For our main dishes, we had tamales, tacos, and elote. Everything was delicious! The tamales were just a little overcooked, but still really tasty and clearly homemade.

What really stood out, besides the food, was the service. Even though the restaurant was busy, our young waiter (I didn’t catch his name) was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came out quickly, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-managed.

On top of all that, the prices were surprisingly affordable – such a great value. We’ll definitely be going back. This place is a must-visit if you’re craving authentic Mexican food on Oahu!“

“The food oh my God! You want good Mexican food you have to go to Frida's. It was a little disappointing that we did have to sit outside which is along farrington highway. at least we were able to stay rather than having to do takeout. it was a nice experience. The spices in the horchata was not overpowering and very well balanced and not too sweet. The enchiladas were a perfect portion as well as the pico de Gallo!! They were generous with the pico unlike other places. The chips and salsa are homemade and the salsa is the perfect heat level. I'm not a burrito person so I can't say anything about that but what I have tried I enjoyed.“

“Food was great ! Had the chimichanga Carne Asada with beans customer service was great , cashier offered food recommendation that’s why I went with the chimi. Enjoyed the service and respected that the cashier was bilingual so my family was able to communicate better with her.“

“We live walking distance and we are so happy we found this restaurant!

The cocktails were delicious. We got the la ola Oaxaca and the lilikoi which were so yummy. The carnitas tacos in the carne asada nacho fries were delicious. Carne asada tacos was good, but not as good.

Service was nice. Slow to order, but food came out in timely manner.

Overall, delicious delicious delicious. I recommend checking this place out for some tacos and we will be back soon!“

“The Steak Burritos are the best. I crave them. I just wished I worked nearby. If I worked near Fort Street Mall I would go here everyday. One day I'll stop by after work and get me some food.“

“Had the Adobada MexiBowl and it was so delicious! Everything is seasoned well - the Red rice and the beans are nicely spiced, the pork had great flavor and Char, and everything just complimented each other so nicely! And I was able to get it without cilantro (yay!). I will be back! This food truck is YUMMY!“

“Moe's Southwest Grill at the food court main PX Schofield Barracks was Awesome. The Steak Stack and Steak Quesadillas were Outstanding. The cooking area was well cleaned and kept organized by the staff and they were very Aloha friendly. The prices were comparative to the local economy. Extra Guacamole is a small additional cost. I Very much recommend this establishment for a quick, delicious meal. Mahalo aaand ALOHA!!!“

“Food was Very Good. Price was Reasonable. Muchas Gracias from Us.“

“I was craving some tacos and this place did not disappoint. The amount of meat loaded in each taco was insane and the quality of meat was amazing as well. The salsa had wonderful flavor and a nice kick to it. We ordered a couple of each type of meat (asada, chicken, al pastor). I wish I had a refreshing agua de horchata to go with it. Nonetheless, the tacos were still delicious and I recommend this place.“

“Good place you find several types of food and the bar in the foodcourt plaza marquetplace is good

Parking: Parking is free for one hour if your ticket is stamped by any business in the square you have another hour, if you go over two hours they charge you 16 dollars per hour.

Kid-friendliness: It's a very nice square, there's everything, and I even got to see a local dance show.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes accessible elevators and enough space“

“Food is Onolicious 😋good portions 🤙😋“

“My new favorite restaurant! I'm so happy to finally find fantastic Mexican food!!! I will definitely be eating here often!!! The chips and salsa are delicious!!! Chimichanga was perfect! Great staff too!!! #fatgirlhappy :)“

“So happy that you're open...awesome food..husband tried it for the 1st time today...he said hands down the best... Love the tacos♥️👍 We'll be back 😎“

“We ❤️ Shinaloa Hawaiian Tortillas ❣️ from Japan.“

“Best tasting Mexican food I’ve been able to find in Honolulu since I moved here from SoCal!!!“

“Had a wonderful time seeing a long time friends, great food, good deal. Will come again when I come back to the island.“

“The place is shared as a coffee shop in the morning, and by 11am it's a taqueria. I was confused at first as I wasn't sure if this was the right place. There's free parking in the back but limited spots. The birria taco shell is more on the crunchy side. So if you like crunchy or crisp, this type of texture is the place for you. The crunchy shell was still able to absorb the consomme. The beef was tender, and the cheese was melted at the bottom. Nonetheless, it was very tasty.“

“This place is fabulous!!!! Best breakfast and the toast is to die for!!!! The birria tacos were to die for and the chicken ones were even better. Great staff and gorgeous view of the ocean. Highly recommend!!!“

“Thursday enchiladas are the best. All food is great“

“Delicious!!! What more can I say?“
