I was skeptical but omg the birria was nice and tender with flavor! They don’t skimp out on the portions either. I wish I would have found this place sooner! The atmosphere is nice and clean!

I wish the queso dip wasn’t over $12, but the other dishes are reasonably priced. BYOB at the moment until they get their liquor license. There’s a market next door that might have alcoholic beverages. There’s parking lot is a little cramped, so massive trucks would be hard to park in there.“

“If you’re on the hunt for legit Mexican food in Honolulu, this is probably your best option.

Casual counter serve restaurant specializing in tacos. Don’t miss the taco Tuesday prices for the best value. Fish, shrimp, and carnitas are perfect. Steak and chicken are second tier, but are cheaper. I wish they had flour tortilla option instead of just corn.

I’ve always praised their habanero salsa as the best on island, but it was weak and watery on my last visit. Really hoping it was just a bad batch and they didn’t change the recipe. They eliminated the salsa bar and you have to ask for it from behind the counter now, which was a bit strange.

The food is great, but I docked a star for speed. I feel like it's too slow for a place serving up street tacos. I recommend ordering at least 30 minutes ahead if you plan to dine in. The dining room is small and a little bland, but at least they have one.“

Halfway through I wasn't sure if I could finish it but it was so delicious that I did. The soda I bought was delicious also. Never had it before. Sangria. Anyway, the point is I highly recommend this place. Not just because there's not another Mexican place unless you go to Mexico. Naw, I'm pretty sure there's closer places, San Diego probably.

“A night out with friends. I wish we had similar service levels in Australia - Cole was friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Starters were guacamole and salsa with corn chips. Low level heat in the salsa and an obviously in house made guacamole. We aren't Mexican savvy so we decided to order the Mahi Mahi de la Paz and the Chili Rojo Burrito and swap halfway through. The serves were generous but because of the great food and flavours we managed. Great value compared with options in Waikiki. Well patronised but i can see why.“
