This food truck is in the Ward Harbour area, and I've been there for lunch several times. The food is always delicious. Their chili dishes are excellent, and the tacos they've recently started serving are also fantastic. On this particular visit, I had the Fresh Fish Tacos. They were substantial and had a light, addictive flavor. The Pesto Pasta is also delicious, and the Grilled Short Rib I had as a side was so tender and habit-forming. The sauce is truly the best. If you want to enjoy a casual lunch while soaking up the Hawaiian sun, this is the place to go.

I’m from California (lots of taco places) and just had the best taco of my life here. Their purple haze taco (don’t let the fact that it is a sweet potato stop you) was so good! I’d be vegan if that’s what I get to eat every day!

The fish and short rib tacos are incredible. Out of all the tacos spots I’ve tried in Hawaii this is in top 3. I will be coming back for more. I had 3 and wanted 15 more.

Miguel has THE BEST fish tacos on Oahu!! I get them at least once a week. He gets his fish fresh every day and compliments it perfectly with homemade salsa and aoli. The pesto pasta is also divine. 🤌🏼 10 out of 10, would recommend!

I thought Mimi’s was the only Peruvian place in Hawaii but here to save the day comes Miguel’s cocina. If your Peruvian (like I am) he doesn’t do ceviche and unfortunately the restaurants that do offer it here taste pretty terrible and not to mention they are super expensive. Miguel does anticuchos and a creative combination called tacos anticucho, which were sooooo good. His tallarin verde is delicious the elotes were great. Honestly the Peruvian and the Peruvian Mexican fusion plates where very delicious. Highly highly recommend

Such a nice and relaxing environment in front of the water. Food was great too! Got the pesto pasta and a fish taco! Can’t describe which one was my favorite. Will definitely be back!
We stumbled upon it after leaving the Makani boat tour and I got really excited to see a food truck court next door. I come from Washington State and order fish tacos anywhere that serve them, anytime when I travel. This meal was hands down, one of the most memorial food experiences I have had on Oahu and Kauai. I will even be so bold to declare that these tacos are better than all I have tried from all of the west coast, including Louisiana, Georgia, Texas and parts of Mexico. These were so good they have outranked my previous favorite fish tacos (Marlin) from Tacón de Marlin in Puerto Vallarta.
Now.. I saw the sign for Fish Tacos and I instantly ordered four before I remembered to ask what kind of fish was being served. When Brad told me he was serving Marlin, I had order two more because I knew these were going to be a hit with my friends and I didn’t want to share.
Once they were served, I didn’t even had a chance to take a picture because once I put them on the table, they were gone in under a minute. Everyone was so impressed, we had to order two more! There were three of us and we ate three each.
Normally I prefer my tacos garnished with a whole grilled jalapeño or some kind of salsa on the side. At first I was surprised the tacos didn’t come with some kind of hot sauce but please trust that these tacos didn’t need anything.
What made these the best tacos of my live (so far) was that every single bite was absolute perfection. I do not mean this lightly. Allow me to explain. The freshly grilled marlin, the coolness of the cabbage, the heat and smokiness of chipotle mayo, the acid from the pickled onion and fresh lime, the herby sharpness of the fresh cilantro created a superbly constructed culinary masterpiece.
Although it was my first time eating here, Brad such a friendly disposition that I felt like I was being prepared food by an old friend. We all felt instantly welcome and it was clear this food was made with such care, it reminded me of a passage from my favorite book:
“ Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger.”
Thank you Brad, we all appreciated this work. We all agreed these were the best tacos of our lives! If only Pablo Neruda were still alive to write a sonnet to give this taco the praise it deserves.
I will be back!

Great Value and exquisite flavors, 5 start. We tried the anticuchos. Fantastic, not spicy and very tasty. It was filling even for my boy teenagers.

It was our first visit at El Gallo as we wanted to try something new. We ordered the Antiocuchos and the special, pesto pasta with breaded beef. We enjoyed both dishes. They were well seasoned and packed with a lot of flavor. We will definitely be back!
