About Buho Cocina y Cantina

Buho Cocina y Cantina is a lively Latin restaurant that offers a vibrant atmosphere. The service can be exceptional, though it may be a bit slow at times. The food quality varies, with some dishes like the popular tacos receiving high praise, while others can be disappointing. The restaurant provides a nice view of Waikiki and serves delicious drinks. The empanadas and Carnitas plate are clear standouts on the menu.

The restaurant is known for its lively atmosphere, especially on salsa nights, which may not be suitable for those seeking a quiet dining experience. The service and ambiance are generally well-received, and the food is good, though not always great. The early dinner on a Friday can be a more relaxed experience, with the option to enjoy the live music of Eddie Ortiz and the Son Caribe band on Saturdays.

Customers have praised the exceptional service and hospitality of the staff, particularly the waiters, who often remember returning guests. The chef and cooks are also commended for preparing dishes like the chilled, exquisite guacamole and the unbelievably hot and tender steak fajitas, with all the extra touches like pico de gallo and fresh cilantro. The staff, including Angel, Jacklyn M, and Riley, have been described as friendly, accommodating, and providing a one-of-a-kind experience.

We were visiting from out of town and were with a group of people. Was supposed to be charged 18% gratuity and was charged 92% gratuity. Our bill was $131.99 and was charged $121.44 for tip. Wasn’t aware until I received a message from my credit card companyI sent an email and left a message for main office to resolve e and heard nothing. Be mindful to always ask for a receipt! Poor customer service!

We had a great time and a delicious meal at Buho Cocina y Cantina. The drinks were excellent and our server, Eileen, was extremely attentive, made great suggestions, and made it a wonderful night!

Delicious!!! What more can I say?
