Taste like gross air no flavor no seasoning.. they said it was a burrito, but there was nothing about it. That was a burrito. There was no flour tortilla shell no shelling at all. It was just a pile of beans covered in shredded lettuce with some cheap cheese from big save and then I had to pay extra for the sour cream on it and I had no taste. No flavor at all. It taste like I was eating gross air. The fish was fried, but it wasn’t any good had no taste and then I’d try the sauce came with the sauce had no taste like zero I was like what is it, like sour cream would have tasted better than that sauce they made and then the salsa, no seasoning you can’t salsa just say you want some diced tomatoes. We just cut up and don’t charge me extra for it and chips. Thanks a lot 25 bucks. … sorry for any misspelling I didn’t want to waste any more time with this BS! so I used my talk text. I’m a business owner in a heavily saturated tourist area and I will let people know to stay away. They probably don’t care about this business at all they definitely don’t put time into the recipes or flavors and they just rip tourists off just another way to make money some big tourist trap on Kauai

I got the beef burrito and my wife got the fish tacos. They were tasty and solid food but those two items along with two drinks costed us $47USD. Not nearly good enough value. I’d happily come again if prices were significantly cheaper.

The fish taco was so so, it was really big which was nice. Unfortunately, there was so much refried beans on it, I couldn't really taste the fish. Kind of a bummer since one Taco was $20, mind of steep for a bean taco with a hint of fish.
My kids had the fish and chips. THAT was delicious, and the ONLY reason this isn't getting 1 stars!

Very expensive fish taco but taste so bland. Very unfair pricing. At least they should try to make their taco taste good for the high price. To add insult to injury, they added $1 to the bill because we did a takeout to eat at the tables right outside.

Tacos were expensive and not very good. The beans and rice were rock hard and cold. The staff at the register were very nice and the seating is great.

Even by Kauai standards, way over priced, tasteless food. Nice staff. Food delivery was slooooow. Like 48 minutes for a fish taco ordered off the standard menu. I won’t be back.

Tropical Taco has memories for me and my kids. We lived on Kauai for 6 months when they were very young. I always got them the baby bean and cheese burritos. Back here now as adults, they loved them just as they had before. Located in the most quaint and my favorite town of Hanalei.

Probably the worst fish taco place I've been to on Kauai. We waited 25 minutes for our food right when they opened. The food was very bland and had no flavor. There was barely any fish and mostly lettuce. Ordered a 20 dollar burrito! What a waste!
Worst fish I’ve ever had. It wasn’t cooked thoroughly and the outside was green. Definitely not grilled.

I ordered the tropical fish taco (see picture), which costs $20 for a single tiny taco that was not very good. How these people can justify charging $20 for 1 lousy taco and a few chips is crazy. The only saving grace was that the gal working the register was friendly and they provided a $3 off coupon for the next taco (ie, $37 for two tacos).They used very inexpensive ingredients as well (e.g., iceberg lettuce, bulk shredded cheese, processed salsa, etc.). Their profit margin per taco must be like 85-90%.Highly discourage you from making my mistake. Go eat elsewhere!

Got the Baja plate, which came with choice of a combination of grilled and fried fish tacos, refried beans and rice. Love the grilled tacos. A surprising lunch around a beautiful place.
it's was a great experience
