5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hanalei

“The food was delicious! We had fish tacos, shrimp tacos, loaded carne asada fries, and a burrito. The portion size was huge. By far the best fish tacos we had on our vacation. I would recommend giving this place a try. You definitely will not be disappointed!“

“I have been coming to Pat's Taqueria for over 10 years now, we make it a point to stop in every time. Highly convenient location at the Hanalei pier, its also a quick drive or walk down from Pine Trees, He'e street, or the pavilion if you choose to go there. Its a popular spot and the food truck is only so big so you have to wait and enjoy the surrounding views for a few moments, but that's not big deal as the anticipation of a fantastic taco makes it that much more delicious. I've had all of their tacos, you cant go wrong they are equally as phenomenal as the next. Any one that complains about price is nit picking because its 100% worth every penny.\n\nKeep on keeping on!“

“I have had a lot of pizza as it is one of my favorite foods. I even have my own pizza oven I cook my own. This is easily in my top 3 pizzas of all time. The base was amazing with good leoparding on the bottom. The crust had some great crispy crust. They are just 🤌🏼! I got the Kauai Beef Short Rib, and the toppings were just spectacular! Plus either the owner or one of the cooks has perfect music tone as well. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I got the “fat mama” bowl with spicy soy chorizo and subbed vegan dairy. It was really flavorful, although the spicy soy chorizo was too spicy for me. I appreciated the easy vegan options and large portions. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-31“

“We stopped here with family (6) on a Sunday evening in September, we had no wait to sit outside. The food was delicious and came out hot and fresh. I LOVE the cali burrito and the kids favorite is the bean burrito. We love Pacos Tacos. ❤️🌮🌮“
