“Our catered chicken and steak fajita meal was fabulous and very tasty. BEST Mexican food around! Thanks Raul and team!!! We will be back !!“

“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.“

“fantastic food and service highly recommend. I wish we had something this good in Torquay Victoria.“

“Delicious food!! Super clean restaurant! Super friendly staff!!“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was so good—flavorful, fresh, and you can tell they put care into every dish. I was genuinely impressed with everything we ordered. We ordered a lot (party of 12) And don’t even get me started on the ambiance… made the whole experience even better. It’s the kind of spot you don’t want to leave. Great food and amazing vibe—definitely coming back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“How anyone could give Nico’s Hickam any less than a 5 stars blows my mind. The quality of Nico’s fish is the best on Oahu! And the merch store inside is awesome! Don’t hesitate to come here - I don’t know what the other reviewers here are talking about - the workers were friendly and helpful!

And for the guy that said goto the commissary to get a bowl - I bet you eat the frozen poke too! Gross! Never go to the commissary when Nico’s is right next door!

Try it, you won’t regret it!“

“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“

“Ordered a chicken Bao taco and chicken regular/street taco. Sooo delicious! The green (spicy) salsa was also excellent. Coming from socal, my taco standards are pretty high and this truck delivers. It's a fusion, so seasonings and details aren't exact if you're looking for Mexicana style street taco; but, they're so delicious nonetheless. I went back for seconds and spoiled my dinner (well worth it). Great compliment to the beers as Howzit.“

“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.“

“Best ribs on the island. Hands down.“
