“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.“

“One of THE BEST tacos I’ve had here in Hawaii so far. I had both al pastor and Asada. The place is beautiful and the attention from the lady at the front was top notch!

Parking: I did not know, but the stalls on the side of the building are theirs. Also you can park in the front where the cones are, which is also theirs.“

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

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

“This place has authentic Mexican flavours! I’ve only tried the Al Pastor and birria burrito, but recommend both. The meats are freshly smoked and delicious. The salsas also have incredible flavour, but are authentic in spice level, so try a small amount first if you’re sensitive. Really glad to have found this place after trying many different mediocre Mexican places on the island. A bit dangerous that it’s just a short walk away, I’ll need more self control.“

“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!“

“Finally had the chance to walk over to Lahaina Tacos for lunch while my car was charging at Aloha Tower 🔋.

Mahalo for the friendly service and delicious food at a great price! I’m especially happy with their veggie options—and even more thrilled to find rice in the burrito. It really hit the spot and reminded me of the Mission burritos I’ve missed since leaving San Francisco 🌯💚“

“Good authentic Mexican food, good service! Local style friendly!!!“

“Best Mexican in Honolulu hands down“

“Delicious carnitas, regardless of which way you choose to eat them! The carnitas are marinaded and slow cooked to perfection! I could just eat the pork by itself! The burritos are HUGE!!!

It's a food truck, so properly prepare for the weather!“

“I have yet to have a bad time at Margaritas! This is my Friday night hangout wether I’m with my friends or with my hubby we always enjoy the food, drinks, atmosphere and the staff.“

“We live walking distance and we are so happy we found this restaurant!

The cocktails were delicious. We got the la ola Oaxaca and the lilikoi which were so yummy. The carnitas tacos in the carne asada nacho fries were delicious. Carne asada tacos was good, but not as good.

Service was nice. Slow to order, but food came out in timely manner.

Overall, delicious delicious delicious. I recommend checking this place out for some tacos and we will be back soon!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food was Very Good. Price was Reasonable. Muchas Gracias from Us.“

“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“

“We ❤️ Shinaloa Hawaiian Tortillas ❣️ from Japan.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Good food and polite service!“

“Located in the parking lot outside Lucky Seven Liquors at 435 Atkinson Drive. Typically open from 6:00pm to 11:00pm. Weekly schedule varies, though. While the posted days are Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, he sometimes will also open on other days. My most recent visit was on a Thursday.

Always a pleasure to sample something from the menu. I try not to have the same thing every time.

If possible, he appreciates it when you pay with $1 bills because he sometimes runs out when people pay with 10s or 20s.“

“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“

“Great place and amazing food for Mexican burritos and tacos and quesadillas, they have outside seating for people watching lol and great music playing while you eat and the prices are not bad given the location, and yes they also have vegetarian options too 😃🤙“

“Thank you for simply existing! The rib nachos are now the only way I will eat nachos and the musicians are awesome. The local vibe is so special; never change Paniolos! Wednesday night band is worth every penny. Tip these amazing musicians- they bring the best party on Kauai.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! I loved the chicken fajitas-chicken was cooked ton perfection, the peppers were charred just right, the rice and beans were delicious too!! My husband had a delicious taco salad. I can see why this place has been in business for more than 50 years. Our service was fabulous too!! Highly recommend!“

“Delicious!!! What more can I say?“

“On the first day, I ate while swimming, and on the second day, I ate after swimming.
I packed it up and ate it in my room!
There is a separate takeout line, but it moves very quickly.
In this restaurant, if you go to your seat and sit down, a staff member will come to you haha.
It was friendly and delicious?“

“Grateful for Ryan best drive through cashier there was definitely lots of employees here working hard with a great attitude Ryan was working drive-thru and definitely giving 100% Taco Bell always tastes the same but the employees make the difference Mahalo I am never leaving Paradise so many loving people on the island“
