15 Best Mexican Restaurants near Kapaa

“Fabulous parked Food Truck located in Kapaa! The Truck is located in the middle of shopping and tents, which makes it a prime location to have a lot of fun. We ordered the fish tacos, chicken tacos, and homemade hibiscus juice. They have covered picnic tables that have some overgrown plants, which makes it cool and fun to sit under. The owner hand makes the tortillas, and you can tell. The flavor of the tacos and tortillas are so fresh and delicious. If you are looking to do some shopping and have lunch, stop here! If you are in the mood for authentic mexican food, stop here. If you are looking for some friendly natives, talk to the workers, they are kind, talented, and know good food!!“

“We have been going to Monicos for a lot of years, I remember when they were in kinipopo shopping center. we live in Los Angeles and travel the world, we love Mexico and the foods they make and I love carnitas. When we went to Monico's everything changed, they have the best carnitas in the world and not to say all the other food is great ( we've tried just about all of it.) I love the Bar, Dammm this place is great and we can't wait to get there ( Oct )“

“We were there for antidemic opening. Truly the best tacos I have ever had.“

“Amazing food and service!!!“

“Absolutely MUST go restaurant! The food was fantastic - tastes just like authentic food from India. The owner and servers were incredibly nice and service was top-notch. We were so happy with our dinner here, some of our party said it was the highlight of the trip to Kauai. They were so accommodating to our Jain diet (no onion, no garlic, etc.) and we felt right at home. Hope to come again soon :)“

“Stopped here on a whim en route from Airbnb to Airbnb and were blown away! Very good service, truly delicious food, pleasant environment, and staff singing to the radio, helping each other out, and seeming to enjoy their job. It was also affordable! Very happy to have stopped!“

“Highly recommend. Truly the best fish taco. The fresh ahi was nuts. They catered so kindly to my gluten and dairy restrictions and it was delicious. Boyfriend had the fish burrito and it was filled and huge!!! Would definitely go back.

Dietary restrictions: gave me extra dairy free sauce option for tacos“

“If there is something that hasn't changed in the last 20+ years, it is Taco Bell. Their quality and vegetarian friendliness deserves a mention. This taco bell was amazing - the food was quick, fresh, and tasty! It was consistently good. We hit this Taco Bell at least 5-7 times and every time it was 5-star food and service!“

“Ahi tacos are amazing and big!“

“BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD!!!! Seriously though. The pizza, the beautiful scenery, the service, the surrounding good vibes, all played a role in making this THE BEST PIZZA EVER!\n\nThe pizza dough was delicious. The texture was a perfect balance of being light, fluffy, chewy and crunchy which really made eating each slice honestly quite a lot of fun. \n\nThe toppings were ample but not over loaded(as a fellow pizza aficionado complemented them on while I was eating). \n\nI ordered the pepperoni and the bianca as were both recommended by the owner as his favorites.\n\nHad a slice of The bianca(Black Garlic Truffle White Sauce, Kunana Dairy Chèvre, Parmesan, Mushrooms, Carmelized Onions, Spicy Baby Arugula), top notch!\n\nThen had a slice of the pepperoni(as simple as is, the owner said was his #1 go to) and immediately fell in love. The pepperoni had my favorite little type of pepperoni that cups up when crisps up when cooked that reminded me of a favorite pizza place I used to eat as a kiddo. \n\nHonestly thought I would have a couple slices of each and bring the rest home for left overs.. but was so good I just sat and enjoyed the whole experience while the pizzas were hot and fresh..and the sun was going down over the surrounding trees blowing in the breeze..til I couldn't possibly eat any more(ate a ridiculous amount of pizza, I won't say how many slices but I will say it was a ridiculous amount lol).\n\nThink the owner was impressed how much of the pizzas I ate. I gave him this exact review and promised would spread the word on the Internet, which I rarely ever do. \n\nGood job chefs I'll be back!\n\n??“

“Awesome atmosphere. Great Service and the best we have ever had on any of the cruises“

“Thankful for the vegan options! I veganized the Baja Burrito with vegan cheese and also veganized a cheese quesadillas (+ avocado) with vegan cheese. I asked for hot sauce options and the hostess said they have a ghost pepper mango sauce and vegan aioli sauce; spicy and super flavorful! The bean burrito was fresh tasting and I enjoyed it a lot! My toddler ate nearly all her quesadilla and I’m happy she is going to bed with a full belly! My husband also enjoyed his fish tacos a lot as well. Again, thank you for accommodating to vegan diets and ensuring the flavors are not compromised in doing so!“

“It's Taco Bell. Food is always as expected and fresh. Service is friendly. The restaurant is always clean. My only complaint is that the AC is too cold. I always bring a long sleeve shirt or a sweatshirt.

Dietary restrictions: You can order the cheesy rice and bean burrito al fresco and they will delete the dairy items and jalapeño.“

“Went here twice in 2 days for lunch. Monday had the Chicken Salad special for about $12.50. They were very good and the gave spicy mayo and a taco sauce in squeeze bottles to add as well as the salsa from the free chips. Great value. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Bathroom on side of building but clean and accesable only by key. Tuesday I had Chicken tacos special and wife again had the chicken salad. Tacos were not as good as the salad but were ok. Good food for reasonable price. Way better food than Kalypso or Kountry Kitchen.“
