“Been seeing this on my uber eats offers for weeks and figured why not try this place in person. While finding it in the lot was a tad hard at first this place is worth it and then some. For a legit hole in the wall spot their menu is definitely the most expansive on the island from nachos to postres and drinks. I ended up getting a carne asada fries, California burrito, and a horchata all benchmarks I use to try places. I debated getting fried ice cream too but I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger since the portions were so massive unlike what pictures and prior reviews mentioned that I was full in no time flat. Taste was impeccable with clear separation of ingredients and proper ratios of everything from sauce seasonings and meat. I loved every second of eating it and it used my remainders as extra salsa for my burrito. As for the agua Fresca you almost always can tell if you know what to look for what is a cheap powder Fresca to one that is either done in house to a keg and I was happily impressed it was nicely made and separated again well. Everything came out super fast and the server was quite nice and we even talked the whole time I was there. For value for a place like this looking at the menu not changing its price at all since pre Covid is quite good in these times and worth a stop if not for the food for the people and the nice dessert selection. Move away serges this place is easily #2 arguably #1 on island in my book and will be for you too!“

Nice and friendly and brought our food out to the car when it was ready. Parking is small and tight (as is the situation in Wahiawa), and even though it was prime traffic time with lines wrapping around the roads, it wasn’t too terrible getting in and out.“
