The ceviche used to be some of the best we've ever had from around the world. Guacamole was top notch, too! This new place/name is missing the mark terribly. Can't even compare & won't go back.

If they could get the bar up and running this place would be number one on the island!

Now called Javi’s. Food was great! The waitress was super nice and attentive. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh. 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.

Everyone there was really nice, but don't get the menudo. It was disgusting.

Where do I start? The spot itself is dirty, poorly lit, falling apart, ants everywhere, and HOT. We were dripping in sweat the entire time. Was the AC even on, or is the owner trying to $kimp on that, too? It was so uncomfortably hot. Or maybe it was just our body reacting to the horrible food.

We ordered four dishes and ended up only eating about 1/3 of them because our stomachs couldn’t handle it anymore. The chips were stale. The ribeye steak was not only tiny (maybe 5 oz) but so chewy and bland… oh, and it cost over $30!!! The chimichanga was too salty. The beef quesadilla was way too seasoned and greasy. The nachos were probably the worst, a plate full of fried stale tortillas dripping in oil with maybe a handful of toppings.

I get everything is expensive in Hawaii, but this place is ridiculously overpriced for the quality of food and lack of AC you’re getting. I’m kicking my butt for craving nachos because it ended up costing us over $100 and a sick belly. We made it home just in time to run to the bathroom (after stopping at Adela’s for a cheesecake).

I think we were charged for the ants all over our napkins too…

Disclaimer: I’m Mexican, but I really like Mexican American food.

Avoid this place. If you’re in Kaneohe and have over $100 to spend on dinner, try Haleiwa Joes instead. You won’t be disappointed.

So sad. I am not sure if they changed management but the food was such a disappointment today. The salsa was bland, the rice was mediocre and the ice tea was instant versus fresh brewed. I have had acid reflux for over 4 hours. The food used to be so good. ?

As a Mexican who cooks every day, I can say that the food here is very good. I visited Hawaii and I was happy to find a Mexican restaurant with good food. A pleasure to talk with the owner, Mrs. Vero, thank you for having good Mexican food.

Truly my favorite restaurant this side, good Mexican/latin food is hard to come by but they never miss!! We never pass an opportunity to come here, first place we went after coming back on island. The food is beyond delicious, especially the rice, and the place always has a friendly, local, and family atmosphere.

I thought it was decent but overpriced for what it was, in my opinion. I know the economy is rough, and it's not on the mainland. I'm from the Chicagoland suburban area. The latin fare there is on another level for half the price.

We were here on Saturday, loved the food, and the waitress was extremely extremely friendly. Loved her. Looks like a family restaurant, we will certainly be back to support it. It deserves more love!
