6 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hanalei

“I dont know what these negative reviews are talking about, they are NOT “mean” here— they’re over worked and under staffed! Give them a break and be patient.

I’d wait all day for these tacos they are that delicious. We had 7 people in our party and we ate here 3 different times— we have no notes, the food is incredible. The chipotle fish tacos were my personal fave. There is a bit of wait for your food, but as mentioned, we found it totally worth it.“

“Best tacos on the island bar none! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. There is a reason there is a line of locals ordering here. Thanks Pat and team for the amazing food and we will 100% be back on our next trip.Not sure where the bad reviews came from because everything we ate here was awesome.“

“Thank you Roger at Tropical Taco for welcoming us to the island. We loved your delicious fish tacos!“

“BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD!!!! Seriously though. The pizza, the beautiful scenery, the service, the surrounding good vibes, all played a role in making this THE BEST PIZZA EVER!\n\nThe pizza dough was delicious. The texture was a perfect balance of being light, fluffy, chewy and crunchy which really made eating each slice honestly quite a lot of fun. \n\nThe toppings were ample but not over loaded(as a fellow pizza aficionado complemented them on while I was eating). \n\nI ordered the pepperoni and the bianca as were both recommended by the owner as his favorites.\n\nHad a slice of The bianca(Black Garlic Truffle White Sauce, Kunana Dairy Chèvre, Parmesan, Mushrooms, Carmelized Onions, Spicy Baby Arugula), top notch!\n\nThen had a slice of the pepperoni(as simple as is, the owner said was his #1 go to) and immediately fell in love. The pepperoni had my favorite little type of pepperoni that cups up when crisps up when cooked that reminded me of a favorite pizza place I used to eat as a kiddo. \n\nHonestly thought I would have a couple slices of each and bring the rest home for left overs.. but was so good I just sat and enjoyed the whole experience while the pizzas were hot and fresh..and the sun was going down over the surrounding trees blowing in the breeze..til I couldn't possibly eat any more(ate a ridiculous amount of pizza, I won't say how many slices but I will say it was a ridiculous amount lol).\n\nThink the owner was impressed how much of the pizzas I ate. I gave him this exact review and promised would spread the word on the Internet, which I rarely ever do. \n\nGood job chefs I'll be back!\n\n??“

“Fat mama burrito was delicious! A cheaper option than other neighboring eateries that still retains high quality food. Highly recommend if you are wanting something to go but want local food. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get our burritos. They are chipotle sized burritos.“

“Went here twice in 2 days for lunch. Monday had the Chicken Salad special for about $12.50. They were very good and the gave spicy mayo and a taco sauce in squeeze bottles to add as well as the salsa from the free chips. Great value. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Bathroom on side of building but clean and accesable only by key. Tuesday I had Chicken tacos special and wife again had the chicken salad. Tacos were not as good as the salad but were ok. Good food for reasonable price. Way better food than Kalypso or Kountry Kitchen.“
