“Whole Foods Happy Hour Foods were excellent and delicious. We had the chicken wings, cauliflower bites, and Caesar salad. Seriously, better than the other brewery close by. I also had the Honolulu beer with the interesting name. We returned several times for other great foods in the restaurant. Highly recommend sitting in the outside patio.“

Great place for families as well, so nice to our daughter! 💯“

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.“

“Amber- the co owner, is absolutely astounding. Super super friendly, and If you have any questions on any of the food she has the knowledge of it all! Location is perfect as there is a bunch of seating area around and always good jams playing in the background. The food taste AMAZING, I recommend trying the B.E.A.S.T DELICIOUS“

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.

“best Mexican food on island, friendly service, HUGE portions - well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Friendly service, amazing food. Made a mistake on my kids order and they fixed it no questions asked. Over delivered on the wait time and was pleasantly surprised at how quick it actually was. If I were local I would get fat on the carne asada burritos.“

“I love this place.I've been going for years now, and I always have a great time. The food is amazing, the music is great, and the staff are always friendly. I'm a vegetarian, but the food here is so good that I don't even miss meat!“

“Absolutely delicious! The tamales are the best I’ve ever tasted. The combo plates with El pastor, Asada, or birria are a must-try. Sandy takes quality seriously and meets every need. Highly recommend this food truck for authentic Mexican food!“

“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“

“Friendly, patient staff. Seems to always aim to please. Plus they honor military discount.“

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

“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.“

“I Love 💙 Jack in the box.“

“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.“

“The reason we went to Jack in the box is because, on 1st year anniversary, we were to Hawaii and we spent all of our money and the only thing you can afford for the last day, was he Jack in the box. So we decided to go back again for a 30th anniversary. I still love the tacos.“

“My kids and I really love the french fries...😋😋😋 freshly cooked and available anytime👍👍👍👍“

“That's great..I love it,I love the buttery jack it's so good“

“The Chicken strips are incredibly better than even KFC, Waffle Stix melt in your mouth ono, and on one can resist SMASHing the SMASH burger!
Breakfast all the time - local favorites, great rewards, and the app works!!!
Far and above all others - just one flaw: no Frappes..“
