4 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wahiawa

“Update: I've been coming since this place was created as an offshoot of el palenque. I like showing support to businesses I like so off and on when I'm on island I stop here. The menu is quite expensive and has a lot of variety for those on any craving within the Mexican genre. Recently I've done two orders of burritos and one order of fries with a drink. I never had a coffee from here so when I had to work one morning I thought to give it a shot. Despite the name and me thinking it was horchata with hints of coffee it was quite coffee forward with hints of horchata which was regardless quite good. The burritos were a 2 for one chorizo egg burrito and a Cali burrito. The burritos in general were somewhat smaller than they originally were when they started which were smaller than what I'm used to from other places even palenque depending on what burrito you order. Taste as always though is still exceptional and filling is not chimped out. As for the fries this was ginormous even compared to palenque with the same cheeses and seasonings as there while also having solid salsas to boot. Everything was perfect on that and loved every second of it. Overall if the burritos were bigger for the price it's an easy 5 but regardless a solid place I'll always support.

Love everything the el palenque fam come up with and barrio café continues to remind me of being in la again. Would toss a 5 but from what I ate the portions can be smaller than I hoped compared to their other place down the road. Love the food though.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food is Onolicious 😋good portions 🤙😋“
