10 Best Mexican Restaurants near Waianae

“Delicious food and nice folks. We had the elote, mango cream, and horchata 💯“

“I have eaten at a lot of taco bells in my time but this one has to be one of the best I have eaten at in a while. I usually go to the taco bell in waianae by McDonald's just cause it's closer to my house. However they are very subpar when it comes to food quality. Everything doesn't taste fresh it tastes sour. Their presentation is horrendous their nachos just looks like slop on chips. The cantina Chicken soft tacos are loaded with the sauce from the Pico de Gallo if their using the right tool for it that should never happen. I also think that their cold line might be malfunctioning. All in all since I have eaten at this new taco bell I'll definitely be going here instead of the other one. This taco bell is extremely good with portioning, presentation, and food quality and speed of service. I have worked at many taco bells during my life and we were instilled with the qualities that this store possess and for this I salute everyone that works in this store. I will definitely be coming back here.“

“Love the #2: 3 soft taco supreme, 2-4 mild sauce each one w/ a baja blast & side cinnamon twist Add on extra cinnamon sugar❤ personally speaking for self to me i love price cause seems they're the cheapest fast food restaurant. I mean cheaper than McDs, JIB, BK etc right??? service alright & workers are looking can be grumpy a lot of times tho? But its ok.....“

“Food was amazing! Well worth the drive!!!“

“Warm and friendly staff with tasty food, a perfect combo!“

“It’s tough to find truly good Mexican food in Hawaii, but Taqueria El Ranchero in Kapolei was a total win! We started with chips and salsa along with the chorizo queso – both were full of flavor and a great way to kick things off. For our main dishes, we had tamales, tacos, and elote. Everything was delicious! The tamales were just a little overcooked, but still really tasty and clearly homemade.

What really stood out, besides the food, was the service. Even though the restaurant was busy, our young waiter (I didn’t catch his name) was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came out quickly, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-managed.

On top of all that, the prices were surprisingly affordable – such a great value. We’ll definitely be going back. This place is a must-visit if you’re craving authentic Mexican food on Oahu!“

“I live in Kaua’i but was visiting Oahu for a little bit, I’m also Hispanic and that being said it is hard to find good Mexican food on the islands. Most places don’t serve complimentary chips and salsa anymore, or serve rice and beans with their dinner plates. This place accommodated all those things! The rice and beans with the carne asada tacos were a good portion size. The horchata was decent, I’m picky about horchata and usually just make it myself but this one was well. Nothing special to rave about but it curved the craving. I would eat here again. It wasn’t busy and the service was good.“

“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!!!“
