“I came by last minute for a very large order for a work event. They were able to accommodate and meet our timeline without question. The staff was amazing and the burritos we ordered were top-notch. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Amazing food for good prices, didn’t have to wait long either! The fish tacos were great, the shrimp tacos were outstanding. I’m not one for hot sauce so I didn’t try it, but I hear her’s is amazing as well. A few picnic tables in the shade nearby.“

“My wife and I are always looking for a good place to eat on Kauai so we decided to try to Mucho Aloha. It appealed to us for a few reasons:
1) My wife is vegetarian
2) They have Happy Hour
3) Menu and drink variety

Upon walking into the establishment, we were greeted warmly by the servers with a smile and directions on how the ordering works. We grabbed a few menus, a table and then decided what we wanted. We ordered a few Happy Hour hard lemonades, chips and guacamole and some furikake tater tots.

For our entree, we ordered a taco salad, and asked for a burrito to be made vegetarian (beans, rice and sour cream). It was no problem for the server even though we created our own item.

The food came promptly and was fresh and delicious! Everything was well prepared, tasty and of generous portions. The atmosphere is welcoming and spacious. We didn't feel pressured, cramped or rushed to eat and leave. It was nice to have a friend with us so we could enjoy a leisure dinner in a laid back scene.

I am more than happy to recommend Mucho Aloha to anyone who wants an exceptional place to eat on Kauai while visiting the South Side. We cannot wait to visit again soon. Thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“Food is still good however the service now sucks. if your eating and want something else or another drink. whoever is serving you will not get it you are told that you must go back up to the cashier and order it there. what kind of crap is that. when told that I replied that "Then no need to tip you right" ? got a dirty look for that one, I'm just saying what's the purpose of having a waiter/waitress that won't get anything may as well go to the Crack. glad the one in Kalaheo isn't like poipu !!“

“Cleanest outdoor seating area I've come across on the west side. Workers were very pleasant, food smelled great as it was cooking. Portions were smaller compared to other taco places in the area, and quality (for what we ordered) was about the same. We did not opt for their fish tacos, which many others do review positively. They do offer vegetarian tacos, not sure about vegan though.“

“Really tasty and full tacos—tried the carnitas, chicken and carne asada tacos, all soooo yummy!! The chicken taco had cabbage and sauces that really made it! Just make sure to check your order that it’s complete! But otherwise it was VERY delicious tacos, better than many street tacos I’ve had in So Cal!“

“Scenic view of Hanapepe side.“

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

“Ahi tacos are amazing and big!“

“I popped in here for a quick snack and it was exactly what I needed. The food was served hot and tasted just like the classic menu items I usually crave when I am on the go. The staff was fast and friendly, and it is a super easy place to grab a cheap, filling meal when you do not have a lot of time to sit down.“
