So freaking delicious!! Must stop
Best taco I've ever had!! And it stayed together the whole time. Really like this taco burrito shop. I had the Cajun ahi taco. Their homemade tortilla and chips are so delicious!! Super nice people too.
Really good food but those chickens can be pests, hopping on the table where you're eating!
Amazing atmosphere and staff!!! Freshness off the chart. And hands down the best beans and rice you will ever eat. A must go to when on this island !!!
Very good fish tacos and burritos-my favorite restaurant of this type on my Kauai visit.
A wonderful fish taco after a hike in the canyon! Delicious.
Best ahi burritos! Get extra chips!
Stopped here on the way back from the canyon. We had the papaya shrimp taco and the pork taco(Hawaiian style). Both were very large and genuinely very delicious. Must stop here if you are in the area.
Service and food were great.
I had the chili lime tofu burrito as the staff recommended it, and it was good. I actually ended up enjoying the vegan beans and rice that came with it more. The flour tortilla was homemade and quite delicious. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-15

I'm honestly not one to complain and usually try and give a business the benefit of the doubt but, do not come here. Food was loathsome! Look up the meaning if you need to know what that means. We ordered a few different dishes on the menu and was hoping the first item was just a one off and boy was I wrong. Fish taco tasted like the fish was rotten, or at least close to it! The beans and rice side dishes were honestly flavorless and very lacking. The last thing we ordered was a steak burrito (not pictured) and again the meat almost tasted, rotten. Now I'm not entirely sure what the deal was but I'm trying to save you all from waiting and spending your hard earned money. Not to mention service was very rude. This one place ruined my appetite for the rest of my trip of fish tacos or honestly any sort of Mexican style dishes.

Food: Quesadilla (kids) and 2x Ahi Tacos (Wasabi & Cajun). Was good but not great. We could still feel the food a few hours later and it felt like we had a overeaten despite that not being the case. Some of the sauces are just some variant of ailoi eg lime / cilantro. The owners missed the chance for a cool flavor add on.
The place both inside and outside would benefit from a good cleaning job to reduce the overall greasy / worn / not so hygenic impression.
Its directly on main street. Lots of traffic, lots of tourists and chicken running all over the place like rats…even on the tables.
