5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hanalei

“Being a Mexican food snob from Southern California I don't eat Mexican food outside the state. I was hungry and it seemed the best option where I was. So glad I took a chance. The owners are from.... So Cal. The food? The Bomb! I had arguably the best fish taco ever! If you're on the northern shores of Kauai DONT MISS IT!“

“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!“

“Came during the farmer’s market. Needed something hearty and good for breakfast. Got the Farmhouse Breakfast Burrito and it was amazing! The mole had a ton of flavor and everything was cooked well. Great value for the amount of food, too! If we venture back to the Garden Island, we will be sure to get our big breakfast here“

“My favorite are tacos !!! Pork carnitas or braised beef or carne asada …. These are soooooo delicious !!! I try to get photo next time, but usually I just can’t … when we get them, I inhale them before can take a photo !!! Writing this- now craving them again.“

“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. ❤️🌮🌮“
