“Good food, friendly customer service, fun ambience. Good place to go, whether you’re by yourself or part of a party. Everyone’s welcome! Not much else to say. It is a small restaurant with a small parking lot, so space fills up quickly, especially on weekends.“

“The best tacos that I have been able to find in Oahu. The only downside is it is hard to park there. But definitely worth it. This is a hidden treasure. Had the carne asada tacos and habenero salsa, so very good. Absolute must go if looking for a good and reasonably priced place to get tacos.“

“If you're needing a tamale fix Tios has your back!! Be sure to get some.green chili.“

“The vegetarian tacos were so good, and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend this place if you‘re in the area!“

“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Tacos!
This small spot may have limited seating, but it more than makes up for it with friendly service and incredibly flavorful tacos. Whether you’re into carnitas, al pastor, chicken, or the vegetarian rajas, every option is worth trying (seriously—try them all!). Taco Tuesday gets pretty busy, and for good reason. It’s a must-visit whether you’re dining in or grabbing food to go. They also serve soft drinks along with classic Mexican beverages like horchata and hibiscus water (Jamaica). Highly recommended!“

“I had to give a shoutout to this food truck because that wet burrito absolutely slapped. I actually been here more than a hand full of times now. I love trying new dishes here. The tacos amazing as well! The food is packed with super flavorful, tender meat and fresh veggies, and topped off with the sauce that brought it all together. Every bite was legit fire.

The orange truck is hard to miss, and once you try the food, you’ll be glad you didn’t. You can tell they put real love into what they’re making. Friendly people, good vibes, and food that hits the spot—definitely a go-to. Don’t sleep on it. A great place with a good story! Talk to Gordo himself and Gabe 🤙🏽

My photo skills do not do justice go tryyyy“

“Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Stopped at the taco truck in Pearl City in Hawaii and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hellfire tacos ain't no joke! Spicy and delicious.“

“The Steak Burritos are the best. I crave them. I just wished I worked nearby. If I worked near Fort Street Mall I would go here everyday. One day I'll stop by after work and get me some food.“

“This place is fabulous!!!! Best breakfast and the toast is to die for!!!! The birria tacos were to die for and the chicken ones were even better. Great staff and gorgeous view of the ocean. Highly recommend!!!“

“They have the best tacos since I’ve moved from California and believe me when I say California has had the most delicious food. Their birria torta was so flavorful. I didn’t get a chance to try their specials but I will be back for more!“

“Had the Adobada MexiBowl and it was so delicious! Everything is seasoned well - the Red rice and the beans are nicely spiced, the pork had great flavor and Char, and everything just complimented each other so nicely! And I was able to get it without cilantro (yay!). I will be back! This food truck is YUMMY!“

“I was craving some tacos and this place did not disappoint. The amount of meat loaded in each taco was insane and the quality of meat was amazing as well. The salsa had wonderful flavor and a nice kick to it. We ordered a couple of each type of meat (asada, chicken, al pastor). I wish I had a refreshing agua de horchata to go with it. Nonetheless, the tacos were still delicious and I recommend this place.“

“We had Birria tacos which were phenomenal. Consume was a little on the salty side, but still delicious. My brother had some BBQ place that came with so much food for $30. The price of my meal was around $27, so expect to pay some money if you are coming. Totally worth it though. This is not just LA Pina Cantina, it is mixed with various food options under one roof. The Gelato place was good as well! Good Food, good service (from LA Pina Cantina) and atmosphere was relaxed“

“I’ve ordered from a lot of Mexican places trying to find that southern California really good Mexican food This was awesome and I was so happy just to feel a piece of home I don’t know about anyone else, but this is the best Mexican food I found in Oahu“

“Amazing!
The food is fantastic, and the location is perfect — exactly what you need to focus on enjoying great food without any distractions.
David behind the counter is outstanding — working hard with a big smile the whole time. Give this guy a raise (unless he already owns the place)!“

“We ❤️ Shinaloa Hawaiian Tortillas ❣️ from Japan.“

“This place is fabulous!!!! Best breakfast and the toast is to die for!!!! The birria tacos were to die for and the chicken ones were even better. Great staff and gorgeous view of the ocean. Highly recommend!!!“

“Best tasting Mexican food I’ve been able to find in Honolulu since I moved here from SoCal!!!“

“Highly recommended food truck.
No fancy gimmicks it’s all about the food.
One of the best tacos in town, authentic flavors. Home made Salas, sauces and a lot of variety of sources as well. Amazing flavors.
One man show making the tacos.
I would recommend some small barrels or stand up tables to accommodate more customers.“

“I placed my order by phone for pick up. The place looked very inviting and festive. If I was to dine in it looked like it would have been nice.
I got the chicken enchilada plate with beans and rice. It came with a bag of chips and salsa.
I thought the enchiladas were good but was a little disappointed with the refried beans. I could be wrong but it almost had the same consistency of a canned refried beans. The rice was a little too dry and I had to add a little salt to the salsa.
But for being on the island, I think it was pretty good. I did feel like it was a little pricey for 2 enchiladas with a little rice and beans though. The service was fast and nice.
I would definitely recommend you try them out.“

“The place is shared as a coffee shop in the morning, and by 11am it's a taqueria. I was confused at first as I wasn't sure if this was the right place. There's free parking in the back but limited spots. The birria taco shell is more on the crunchy side. So if you like crunchy or crisp, this type of texture is the place for you. The crunchy shell was still able to absorb the consomme. The beef was tender, and the cheese was melted at the bottom. Nonetheless, it was very tasty.“

“Good food and polite service!“

“I’m from the IE, and while staying here in hawaii I was missing mexican food that tasted like it was from back home. I tried this place and it instantly hit the spot. It tasted exactly like the street tacos back home. In my opinion they genuinely have the best mexican food in all of hawaii. The service was a bit slow, but given the fact they’re a food truck with only a few employees, it’s totally worth it.“
