We ordered the lengua tacos, carne asada nachos, ahi fish tacos, and chicken taquitos with chips and salsa. The lengua was melt in your mouth tender with good flavor! My nachos was packed with steak. I ordered my beans on the side but ended up drizzling it on each bite. The chicken in the taquitos was well seasoned, moist, and tender! The seared ahi tacos were well seasoned and generous in portion. Another family ordered the fajitas that smelled divine! We’re definitely coming back during our next visit!

This is the BEST RESTAURANT!!!!! The food is amazing and extremely very high quality. Try the mole sauce is great and homemade. As far as the staff goes, Tiffany is the best bartender as well as server! We live here and it is our very favorite restaurant as well as bar. I swear I don’t work for them but am just being honest! We have eaten there at least 15 times in the past 4 months and have never been disappointed. You also will not be disappointed. I know we never have!

I ordered the camarones a la diabla expecting a spicy kick, but they were barely seasoned and definitely not “diabla.” The plate came with just a tiny scoop of rice and only two tortillas – not nearly enough to make a meal out of it. They charged for chips and salsa. I expected much better portions and flavor. Really disappointing experience. The biggest shock was the price—$30 for this meal felt like a complete ripoff. – won’t be coming back.
Stopped at Monico’s Taqueria in Kapa‘a and it did not disappoint! The food was so full of flavor. Highly recommend if you’re in Kaua‘i!
