Island Taco is a small, casual restaurant near the beach that offers a variety of tasty options like shrimp tacos, wet shrimp burritos, and the famous cajun Mahi tacos, which are stuffed to overflowing and missing only a lime wedge for drizzling. Customers often enjoy their homemade tortillas and chips, which are very delicious. The restaurant is known for its great shrimp burritos and incredible dirty rice and refried beans. It is a popular spot near Waimea, even right before closing time, despite its tight seating. Visitors recommend stopping here for the large, genuinely delicious tacos, such as the papaya shrimp taco and Hawaiian-style pork taco. The staff is friendly, and the food leaves a good impression, making Island Taco a must-visit in the area. However, some reviews mention that the inside and outside could use a good cleaning to improve hygiene and appearance, as there is some greasy and worn look. The location on main street also brings lots of traffic and tourists, with some uninvited chickens wandering around.
