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!“

“Good food. Would eat again. Enjoyed the burrito the most. My daughter loved the nachos and has been begging me to get some again soon. Nice and friendly and brought our food out to the car when it was ready. Parking is small and tight (as is the situation in Wahiawa), and even though it was prime traffic time with lines wrapping around the roads, it wasn’t too terrible getting in and out.“

“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!“

“Wow, wow, wow! This was definitely a highlight for our family’s’ trip to O’ahu. Excellent service and consideration of food allergies. I was nervous about the feast with all my daughter’s food allergies. They immediately brought me a guide and let me daughter go first through the line! Performance, Polynesian history and food were all wonderful.“

“Was looking for a place to get tacos in Waipahu. This came up and the food was FRESH, tasty and beautifully plated! This will be a regular spot“

“Been seeing this on my uber eats offers for weeks and figured why not try this place in person. While finding it in the lot was a tad hard at first this place is worth it and then some. For a legit hole in the wall spot their menu is definitely the most expansive on the island from nachos to postres and drinks. I ended up getting a carne asada fries, California burrito, and a horchata all benchmarks I use to try places. I debated getting fried ice cream too but I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger since the portions were so massive unlike what pictures and prior reviews mentioned that I was full in no time flat. Taste was impeccable with clear separation of ingredients and proper ratios of everything from sauce seasonings and meat. I loved every second of eating it and it used my remainders as extra salsa for my burrito. As for the agua Fresca you almost always can tell if you know what to look for what is a cheap powder Fresca to one that is either done in house to a keg and I was happily impressed it was nicely made and separated again well. Everything came out super fast and the server was quite nice and we even talked the whole time I was there. For value for a place like this looking at the menu not changing its price at all since pre Covid is quite good in these times and worth a stop if not for the food for the people and the nice dessert selection. Move away serges this place is easily #2 arguably #1 on island in my book and will be for you too!“

“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 😎“

“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.“

“Best Mexican in Honolulu hands down“

“Food was Very Good. Price was Reasonable. Muchas Gracias from Us.“

“The Steak Burritos are the best. I crave them. I just wished I worked nearby. If I worked near Fort Street Mall I would go here everyday. One day I'll stop by after work and get me some food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“The most delicious tacos I’ve had in Hawaii, period. I had one chicken taco and one steak taco. Both tacos came with homemade pico and homemade guacamole, and all the salsas at the open salsa bar are also homemade. You add your own cilantro, onions, salsa, hot sauce, and lemon or lime—everything is there. You can really taste the authentic Mexican flavor that you’re not going to get at some of these other fancy restaurants. I’ve honestly enjoyed these two tacos more than many fine-dining places I’ve eaten at here. I wouldn’t call them childhood memories since I didn’t grow up in Mexico, but they remind me of happy memories from time spent in Mexico. It’s a small food truck in a parking lot, a one-person operation, cash only, $5 per taco. There’s one table with five chairs, and napkins and plastic forks are self-serve. If you want truly delicious, street-style Mexican food, I can’t think of another place in Hawaii that comes close to these tacos. 6pm-11pm Tue Fri Sat. Cash only. BYOB.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“We ❤️ Shinaloa Hawaiian Tortillas ❣️ from Japan.“

“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 :)“

“Mom got taco shell chicken salad and I got Chicken Quesadilla. Very tasty, super fresh ingredients. Staff was very friendly and helpful when talking to my 80+ y/o mom. Absolutely recommend.“

“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.“

“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“

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