29 Best Mexican Restaurants near Waipahu

“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!“

“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 :)“

“This is a regular go to place for my husband, he likes his soft taco's and bean burritos with no onions. He's not really a fan of the drink options, but it's all good!

Parking: Limited space for parking but there's a store near by and it's okay to park there.“

“If you have questions about the new menu ask otherwise you may mot get an answer. All around fast food has become exactly that..
Fast food and pretty much in and out. I was fortunate, I asked and I got my answer (new menu took me by surprise) lol. P. S. very excited to get a mini salad back (no regular Ranch though)“

“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.“

“Good food. Would eat again. Enjoyed the burrito the most. My daughter loved the nachos and has been begging me to get some again soon. 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.“

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

“I stumbled upon this page on social media and I had to come and try the pork belly tacos on my vacation to Hawaii! We actually went on their last day that they were open in the restaurant. The tacos were so delicious. I was so sad we couldn’t come back for more the next day. So we went ahead and ordered some more😅“

“The vegetarian tacos were so good, and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend this place if you‘re in the area!“

“Wow, wow, wow! This was definitely a highlight for our family’s’ trip to O’ahu. Excellent service and consideration of food allergies. I was nervous about the feast with all my daughter’s food allergies. They immediately brought me a guide and let me daughter go first through the line! Performance, Polynesian history and food were all wonderful.“

“Was looking for a place to get tacos in Waipahu. This came up and the food was FRESH, tasty and beautifully plated! This will be a regular spot“

“So happy that you're open...awesome food..husband tried it for the 1st time today...he said hands down the best... Love the tacos♥️👍 We'll be back 😎“

“Clau y Chui’s Cocina serves true home‑style Mexican comfort food. My partner’s torta was so authentic it reminded him of his grandmother the highest praise possible. My enchiladas were rich, saucy, and perfectly balanced without feeling heavy. Warm vibe, generous portions, and food made with real care. A definite repeat spot. I wish I took a photo.“

“Best Mexican in Honolulu hands down“

“Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Stopped at the taco truck in Pearl City in Hawaii and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hellfire tacos ain't no joke! Spicy and delicious.“

“Try it...you'll love it!!! It's not big restaurant, but that's what I loved about it and it gave authentic from the front door! Best Mexican food I've had since I got here. On the back of the menu, it says BYOB and my husband said I'll be back...lol! He went right to the drug store and got a 6 pk. We will definitely back!“

“Went today and enjoyed their happy hour food and margaritas:)“

“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.“

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

“We ❤️ Shinaloa Hawaiian Tortillas ❣️ from Japan.“

“Portion sizes are pretty large and prices are pretty high, but they also offer ala carte menu items if you want a smaller dish. Service is very good. And it’s byob with no corkage fee, making it great for a chill spot to hang out. I think that if you come here with an appropriate set of expectations for a neighborhood Mexican diner, you will have a good time.“

“Thursday enchiladas are the best. All food is great“

“Food is Onolicious 😋good portions 🤙😋“

They have so much to offer and are quick.
And the food… no doubt, it’s tasty, like you’ll never be able to resist. Keep it up, Moe’s…
I have my new fave now“

“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!!!“

“Fresh ingredients, organic chicken, grass fed beef, local produce. Made fresh daily, no canned ingredients. So ONO good.“

“Muy buen servicio y todo con un buen toque de sabor maxicano lo recomiendo100%“

“Serena, I hope im spelling that correct. She is incredible. We go here ALOT… like embarrassingly too much. But EVERY single time I see her she always has a smile on her face and has the absolute best customer service I’ve ever seen. She needs a promotion, raise, or to leave Taco Bell and go somewhere that she can make tips!! The absolute sweetest employee I’ve ever met anywhere. Props to you boo!!!!!“
