35 Best Mexican Restaurants near Pearl City

“Thursday enchiladas are the best. All food is great“

“Best Taco Bell I’ve ever had. Food actually came out fresh. To the point where I even had to let it cool down first. Employees were very respectful. Only thing I didn’t like was the fact that you need a key to access the restroom. All public restrooms should be made accessible.“

“best Mexican food on island, friendly service, HUGE portions - well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food is fantastic and the staff is so friendly. Outstanding, authentic Mexican ceviche and service. The tuna tostada and Cabo taco were delicious as well. Anyone looking for great Mexican seafood, this is the place to go in the island.“

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“This is my go-to spot after I get my hair cut at nearby Major League barber shop. The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch. I've had the pollo asada and the chorizo & egg tacos, both with rice and beans. 🤤 This is a Veteran/family owned business that takes their food creations and customer relations seriously. It is also SoCal Mex based flavor-wise and takes me back to the neighborhood taco shops in L.A. and San Diego. I look forward to eventually trying everything on the menu.“

“It is very hard to find good Mexican on the Island, this is now my #1 spot.

Only slight complaint. I like their sauce but they use a little much on everything.

Will definitely be coming back here as it is only about 10 minutes from the house.“

“I stumbled upon this page on social media and I had to come and try the pork belly tacos on my vacation to Hawaii! We actually went on their last day that they were open in the restaurant. The tacos were so delicious. I was so sad we couldn’t come back for more the next day. So we went ahead and ordered some more😅“

“The vegetarian tacos were so good, and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend this place if you‘re in the area!“

“Stopped here for a plant based burrito and got the vegan asada supreme burrito. Sooo good. Really am going to be raving about this burrito for a while. Flavorful with delicious asada that is like the best tenderest meat but without eating a body. Also the guy was quite friendly and fast service. Thank you!“

“I ordered the Frida Taco Supreme — three tacos with steak and shrimp, topped with fresh pico de gallo and guacamole — and every bite reflected care, balance, and real technique. Paired with the red and green habanero salsas and finished with a smooth, well-executed flan, the meal was satisfying, properly portioned, and right on point for Hawaiʻi’s market. Frida’s Taqueria delivers quality, authenticity, and value without trying to be something it’s not. This isn’t Mexican food. It’s Mexican cuisine. And in Waipahu, Frida’s Taqueria is doing it right.“

“Clau y Chui’s Cocina serves true home‑style Mexican comfort food. My partner’s torta was so authentic it reminded him of his grandmother the highest praise possible. My enchiladas were rich, saucy, and perfectly balanced without feeling heavy. Warm vibe, generous portions, and food made with real care. A definite repeat spot. I wish I took a photo.“

“Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Stopped at the taco truck in Pearl City in Hawaii and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hellfire tacos ain't no joke! Spicy and delicious.“

“We ordered Carne Asada Fajitas, Chile Relleno and Taco Bowl. We got complimentary chips and homemade salsa. Everything was excellent with good flavor. The Chile Relleno was cooked perfectly. Strawberry Magarita and Ling hi Mui Matgarita vwere very refreshing! Friendly and fast service. Atmosphere is welcoming. If we didnt have to leave we would have stayed and tried the fried ice cream. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Good authentic Mexican food, good service! Local style friendly!!!“

“I have yet to have a bad time at Margaritas! This is my Friday night hangout wether I’m with my friends or with my hubby we always enjoy the food, drinks, atmosphere and the staff.“

“Variety of items. I ordered a pork sandwich and a lot of the contents fell out. However, there was still plenty in the sandwich. Halfway through I wasn't sure if I could finish it but it was so delicious that I did. The soda I bought was delicious also. Never had it before. Sangria. Anyway, the point is I highly recommend this place. Not just because there's not another Mexican place unless you go to Mexico. Naw, I'm pretty sure there's closer places, San Diego probably. Go here. It's great!“

“Try it...you'll love it!!! It's not big restaurant, but that's what I loved about it and it gave authentic from the front door! Best Mexican food I've had since I got here. On the back of the menu, it says BYOB and my husband said I'll be back...lol! He went right to the drug store and got a 6 pk. We will definitely back!“

“Had the Adobada MexiBowl and it was so delicious! Everything is seasoned well - the Red rice and the beans are nicely spiced, the pork had great flavor and Char, and everything just complimented each other so nicely! And I was able to get it without cilantro (yay!). I will be back! This food truck is YUMMY!“

“I was craving some tacos and this place did not disappoint. The amount of meat loaded in each taco was insane and the quality of meat was amazing as well. The salsa had wonderful flavor and a nice kick to it. We ordered a couple of each type of meat (asada, chicken, al pastor). I wish I had a refreshing agua de horchata to go with it. Nonetheless, the tacos were still delicious and I recommend this place.“

“My new favorite restaurant! I'm so happy to finally find fantastic Mexican food!!! I will definitely be eating here often!!! The chips and salsa are delicious!!! Chimichanga was perfect! Great staff too!!! #fatgirlhappy :)“

“We ❤️ Shinaloa Hawaiian Tortillas ❣️ from Japan.“

“Had a wonderful time seeing a long time friends, great food, good deal. Will come again when I come back to the island.“

“The crew is so nice, presentable, and friendly.
They have so much to offer and are quick.
And the food… no doubt, it’s tasty, like you’ll never be able to resist. Keep it up, Moe’s…
I have my new fave now“

“Went today and enjoyed their happy hour food and margaritas:)“

“Portion sizes are pretty large and prices are pretty high, but they also offer ala carte menu items if you want a smaller dish. Service is very good. And it’s byob with no corkage fee, making it great for a chill spot to hang out. I think that if you come here with an appropriate set of expectations for a neighborhood Mexican diner, you will have a good time.“

“So happy that you're open...awesome food..husband tried it for the 1st time today...he said hands down the best... Love the tacos♥️👍 We'll be back 😎“

“Best tasting Mexican food I’ve been able to find in Honolulu since I moved here from SoCal!!!“

“Moe's Southwest Grill at the food court main PX Schofield Barracks was Awesome. The Steak Stack and Steak Quesadillas were Outstanding. The cooking area was well cleaned and kept organized by the staff and they were very Aloha friendly. The prices were comparative to the local economy. Extra Guacamole is a small additional cost. I Very much recommend this establishment for a quick, delicious meal. Mahalo aaand ALOHA!!!“
