Best fish tacos I’ve ever had. By far. The drive is worth it from anywhere on the island.

Critical Insights

I would give them a 5 star, but they never include drinks with your pick up order, or remind you to get your drink at the register, and then the register only gave 1 of my 3 drinks on the order I finally remembered... at this point, I've lost around $100 to drinks to them because of this.
Their ono fish taco (with the cheese tortilla and mango salsa) is amazing though, and all of their food and salsas are quite good in their own rights. I consider their food more of an Oregon taco shop than a true Mexican taco shop, as you aren't likely to find Mexican food with black beans, pickled onions, cheese fried tortillas, mild salsas including very sweet salsa, and fried cheese and a sweet sauce drizzled over the food.. I can't say I like one over the other vs San Diego Mexican food which has incredible over-night marinated carne and pollo asada dripping in it's own grease with the primary ingredient being meat.. I'm sure the Oregon style is healthier though, which is a big plus given comparable satisfaction eating them.
They just need to bother putting the drinks with the food when awaiting pick-up orders... $60 and they could have a tiny counter-top fridge sitting on a folding table next to the truck (assuming there's no space in the truck) where they could stick to-go order drinks with a sign on the fridge announcing it.. that visual reminder alone would be quite helpful for both regulars and new visitors.
Great people, great food, hope they stick around!

We found this place on our trip 3 years ago and visited 3 different times. On our last trip it was our first stop after getting off the plane! If you’re a real taco lover then you must visit. In my opinion they have the best fish tacos on the planet.

Very unique taco place, perhaps one of my favorite. Beautiful view from back deck. All their tacos and burritos are good, and they have ono fish. Sometimes they also have venison tacos from Moloka‘i. Try all their hot sauces.

Awesome Food Truck Tacos. Had the three choice combinations tacos. Delicious. Best day to go is Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. Special pricing on selection combinations. My only negative opinion would be I wished the sold Coke products not Pepsi. They also have outdoor and indoor seating. Great service also.

No wonder they’re #1
We enjoyed quesadillas, Birra Tacos, and Shaka Tacos. All were delicious and enjoyed with Mexican Coke and Pineapple soda.
