Don't miss these Koloa Mexican restaurant gems.
“Delicious food and great service! While it is small and very much a hole in the wall restaurant, don’t be scared off!! Their burritos and bowls are delicious and stayed together quite well. Everything had a lot of good flavor and the service was efficient and friendly. We enjoyed it so much that we came back a second time before we left Kauai!“
“Taco connoisseurs here. 5 star flavor, took off a star just cuz they were super expensive. But their blackened fish tacos and bowl were extremely good and we’d get them again. The shrimp tacos were great too. They were out of carne asada which must mean they’re good (we went at the end of the day). The food looked like their photos and was delicious.“
“Very nice experience. There are ancient Hawaiian ruins on the left side of the entrance. The location has nice spacious green views which makes it peaceful. Place is clean friendly staff and the food… I had the Green Chile Burrito- $12.45 Thursday Special. It was delicious!“
“Loved going to this truck when it was parked at The Warehouse in Lawai. I've eaten tacos and burrito bowls from here it's always delicious and the service is so fast and friendly , they will answer any questions you may have about the menu. I came here more than a few times I really enjoyed it. And the prices were decent too, not too expensive.“
“Obviously Taco Bell is not fine dining. I enjoy some fine dining!But as far as fast food goes, it don't GET no betta! The food is consistently good and always looks and tastes very fresh. AND in this time of a fast food burger meal costing upwards of of $17, it's pretty darn reasonable!“
“If you ever go to this place, order the nachos!! We stopped for an afternoon snack and those nachos came out as a meal! We put shredded beef on one order and shredded chicken on the other, and let me tell you the owner did not disappoint. We were wondering what was taking so long, but they were totally worth the wait.“
“We came to this place multiple times on our stay. It's not cheap, but what is on Kauai. Portions are good though, and the food was seasoned to perfection.We found out that this Pacos is no longer part of the other Pacos Tacos at large which is a GOOD thing. The others Pacos tacos we visited had bland food overall. Nowhere near as good as this location.Well done guys,“

“Amazing view and even better food. The grilled fish tacos were exactly what I expect for fish tacos. Corn tortillas, white grilled fish (but you can get fried), cabbage slaw and good sauces. Chile relleno was also done perfectly. Will definitely go back!“
“Verde is one of our family favorites...Kids love it we love it. The atmosphere is epic, the food is awesome, and major shout out to our most recent server! She was attentive, but more than that she was dynamic and seemed like she genuinely cared about our experience. She was behind the bar when we first arrived and then our server, she interacted with our son and equally with us offering suggestions and a great experience. Mahalo nui loa to Kolo and Verde for providing a excellent family night out in the big city!“
“First, I'd suggest imagining yourself in the middle of a verdant green mountainous landscape floating in the Pacific Ocean. Only a few buildings dot the miles-long single-lane path that cuts through the vegetation on this beautiful island in a place it seems that time has forgotten. That's where every review of this restaurant should begin. On Kauai, where only a few restaurants are still in business after the pandemic... On Kauai, where less than a handful of Mexican people live... On Kauai, where not every restaurant is open every day... Mariachi's is perfect for Kauai. We visited on a holiday weekend, Friday night, staying at a resort nearby. It's Kauai, so it's no surprise both local pizzerias were closed. The popular restaurant on the beach was on a 45-minute wait. The only other place in this center was also full of big families. However, Mariachi's piping Mariachi music into the air, and the hostess greeted me in Spanish. There were a few empty tables. We were taken to a balcony table overlooking the garden landscape. Soon after, we were drinking tequila shots and pouring from a pitcher of Modelo Especíal. Perfecto. The menu has everything from nachos to chile rellenos. The tempting meat options include carnitas, shredded and ground beef, roasted chicken, and fish and shrimp. The items are reasonably priced, too, ranging from $14-$22 for each plate. We ordered burritos, tacos, and nachos with shredded beef, carne asada, and chicken. The food was delicious. In this environment, at this moment, everything was perfect. I hope others get to come and enjoy the experience. The staff was really helpful and friendly too. Gracias por todo!“
“We have heard great things about this truck, so we finally tried it and are so glad we did! We ordered the shrimp tacos and Cali Burrito, and both were delicious. The salsas were particularly good, with the right amount of heat. I look forward to going back and trying other items on the menu!“
