Food is great. Very talented cooks in preparing delicious food. Just very very poor customer service on numerous occasions from the same young girl at cashier.

I wish I could give a 0. I came here to eat super excited. I am allergic to dairy and asked for no cheese in my burrito. I also asked for no lettuce. They cashier said I’d make a note and she did. When I got my burrito it had cheese and lettuce. I went back up front and mentioned it to her. Instead of remaking my burrito they scooped off the ingredients and still left bits of it in the green sauce. I was really upset didn’t eat paid $20 for my burrito and left. Please take allergy request more serious to the cook that was prepping the food around 3pm 8/25. I can also provide pictures of the cheese still in my food after they “removed it.”

Sat in the quick eats area instead of the sports bar and service was fast and the cashier was polite. Food was great, ordered taquitos and quesadilla. Wonderful agua frescas. no complaints

Disclosure, vegetarian here. Saw a bunch of veggy options on the site before I went. The black bean taco's where amazing, hence the three stars. The quesadilla was a mess, would not recommend. The dinning area is tiny.

We went to Wahiawa to escape the tsunami and I had done research ahead of our trip to Oahu for places to eat. This place was the most legit real deal Mexican taco joint I found by looking at the picture. It did not disappoint. Granted, 2 hr wait to get in because of the tsunami warning. It had what I needed, food, drinks, a TV for the news, locals to talk to. Will forever remember this place.

Spent nearly 4 hours here waiting out the tsunami warning. Service was excellent and staff extremely kind.

Food and drinks exceeded expectations. Can recommend the mezcal margarita, mango mule, beef taquitos, choriqueso, and chips/salsa/guac. 10/10 would recommend and would be back.

Service was fine for order at the counter and self pick up. Food was a$$. Over priced 80$/ 3 ppl :(The worst Carne Asada ever, 3 unseasoned, thinly sliced beef strips?! The Horchata was on point though and the beans & rice were good.

The service sucks! Food used to be good here years ago. Now it isn’t as flavorful. The bartender was mainly flirting and helping her friends and she was all over the place. Drinks sucked ordered 2 cocktails and didn’t finish neither.

Been eating hear since they opened the food is ok nothing special. After ordering two meals the lady at the register will only give us one tiny bag of chips even thought everyone Iine was given 1 bag with each meal When I asked she refused didn’t even offer for me to pay for a second bag I seen the hate on this women’s face makes me never want to return too this place. Then as I’m eating she goes over two the two police officers sitting beside me and complain to them that I asked for extra chips because she gave them. The police were just as confused as I was and laughed it off but she was very serious pointing at us trying to get them to confront us. Cmon I asked because we have two meals. Anyway don’t ask for chips here they might try to put you in jail. Not to mention I tipped her 20% Never Again!

Vi went from no one to packed house with poise and grace...

Laid back atmosphere, great vibe...fills up during lunch and the service during the transition from slow to weeded was impressive.

I saw the manager step in and jump behind the bar to help out and loved it!
