27 Best Mexican Restaurants near Waipahu

“The food oh my God! You want good Mexican food you have to go to Frida's. It was a little disappointing that we did have to sit outside which is along farrington highway. at least we were able to stay rather than having to do takeout. it was a nice experience. The spices in the horchata was not overpowering and very well balanced and not too sweet. The enchiladas were a perfect portion as well as the pico de Gallo!! They were generous with the pico unlike other places. The chips and salsa are homemade and the salsa is the perfect heat level. I'm not a burrito person so I can't say anything about that but what I have tried I enjoyed.“

“My new favorite restaurant! I'm so happy to finally find fantastic Mexican food!!! I will definitely be eating here often!!! The chips and salsa are delicious!!! Chimichanga was perfect! Great staff too!!! #fatgirlhappy :)“

“Delicous!! if your craving some great mexican food this is your place..“

“This is the best Taco Bell I’ve been to. There’s always issues with the others here on Oahu. Especially the ones in town; poor service, low quality etc., Most are scoring low in the basics of service. But this Waipahu location is consistently good with service and quality. My nacho bell grande chips are always crunchy and the toppings are well balanced. When I bite in to the burritos I’m getting more than just tortilla with every bite…employees there are good people. Good management for sure.Hawaii Kai location is my second option. A little inconsistent at times but they’re pretty good too.“

“This was a drive thru, wanted to try their new item Grilled season beef cheese burrito ?, unfortunately wasn't like the commercial which interested us to want to go and try it. Inquired about it with the drive thru employee, she indicated her husband liked it. So was encouraged... my sister enjoyed it! Got that out of my curiosity, luckily I also grabbed my "old faithful" Taco Supreme!“

“The food is fantastic and the staff is so friendly. Outstanding, authentic Mexican ceviche and service. The tuna tostada and Cabo taco were delicious as well. Anyone looking for great Mexican seafood, this is the place to go in the island.“

“One of THE BEST tacos I’ve had here in Hawaii so far. I had both al pastor and Asada. The place is beautiful and the attention from the lady at the front was top notch!

Parking: I did not know, but the stalls on the side of the building are theirs. Also you can park in the front where the cones are, which is also theirs.“

We’ll definitely be back and with friends and family as often as we can!“

“Had a wonderful time seeing a long time friends, great food, good deal. Will come again when I come back to the island.“

“We ate here for dinner on a Saturday. There was plenty of seating. The drinks were good, and the food was delicious.

We ordered the margarita flight which was a really good deal I thought. For like 10 bucks you get three margarita flavors to try and they were all really good.
The salsas were really good. They have a good spicy one if you're into spicy salsa. The green salsa was pretty good too. We ordered the chorizo queso and no one at the table was really a fan of it. It was very salty and lacked actual flavor. The guacamole though was super fresh, and super tasty. I ordered chicken fajitas as an entree and they were super good! Good flavor lots of food. I couldn't eat it all I had to take some home. My friends ordered burritos and said they were good burritos but didn't have much meat in them. We ordered tamales to go and let me just say, they are so good! They're big and full of meat and have great flavor! All in all a great restaurant, I think it's one of the better tasting Mexican restaurants on island.“

“Mom got taco shell chicken salad and I got Chicken Quesadilla. Very tasty, super fresh ingredients. Staff was very friendly and helpful when talking to my 80+ y/o mom. Absolutely recommend.“

“We ❤️ Shinaloa Hawaiian Tortillas ❣️ from Japan.“

“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!!!“
