Services and atmosphere was good. Went there after really good reviews, food was disappointing.

Initially they served warm tortilla chips and salsa, they were good.

But we ordered fish tacos with rice and beans. Rice was cold in all the dishes served. fish also felt reheated, barely warm.

Kids chicken burrito was awful. We went to subway next door to get turkey sandwich for my kid as he barely ate anything (and he is not at all picky, I tried the burrito and it tasted really bad).

I was told by the waitress the vegetarian quesadilla was good, but it was not.
My sister said she liked the chicken quesadilla when her son had picked up to-go orders.
The wait staff are very nice, and the other lunch dinners seemed to enjoy their meal.

Authentic Mexican in downtown Hilo, all of the food is very tasty, good value for money and friendly staff.

For an average expensively priced tourist restaurant, the rice shouldn't be a really small portion and undercooked/hard

Amazing food and large portions. We had two nights in Hilo and intended to try two different restaurants but this place was so good we had to come back again!

My daughter wanted an authentic greasy burrito but we wanted something healthier. This is pretty authentic Mexican without being greasy so it made us all happy. She got a kids meal with a generously sized bean and cheese burrito which she loved. The rice that came with it was a little dry. I got a shrimp burrito bowl and my husband got the Acapulco salad with the fresh catch. They were both good but he definitely won with choosing the fresh catch. They warned me there aren’t many shrimp on the bowl, so they must get complaints, so why don’t they change it? The 3 shrimp tasted good, but I’d definitely get the fresh catch next time.

We stopped in here last minute on New Year’s Eve, I believe. They were really helpful with my husbands low carb restrictions and we were so grateful to find nutritious real food after traveling all day. Very, very good and fast. Also, enjoy a funny photo of my husband 😂

Wheelchair accessibility: I believe there aren’t any steps into this restaurant and the restaurant itself is flat.

The food was very bad. I had the carne asada and it had zero flavor and was on the verge of going bad. They did not charge me for my meal

My server was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was nice and clean. I had the fish tacos with corn tortillas. The fish was in strange square chunks coated with a very salty seasoning and smelled fishy. I would suggest that the fish be grilled in smaller pieces with a bit more flavor to the cabbage.

Good food, surprised they weren't busier. We ordered veggie fajitas and chicken taco salad and kids quesadilla all were very good. Also had a good margarita that gave me a good rise, and I have a high tolerance

Mid Mexican food and not worth the price. Added headache due to the non-stop Taylor Swift playing at full volume while you eat.
