The tacos here are gooooood!! Got a few crunchy tacos & the shells were so good & so crispy! They load it with lettuce & cheese!! So darn delicious that I forgot to take a before picture so here’s the photo after I inhaled the tacos.

Not bad, nothing was so terrible we wanted to walk out. I can see how people are frustrated with the customer service, very little care to engage or make it right. Nothing made me say, “I’d come back for this.” Which is sad because there are few restaurants in the area and I’d rather drive further for a Mexican craving next time. Chicken is not white meat, which is a deal breaker for me, but I’m picky when it comes to meat. We ordered something and they misheard us and then instead of saying, oh sorry, let us get you what you ordered, they made us order and pay for the thing we wanted. We said what we wanted multiple times, but they still got it wrong. Also, don’t bother to tip as they don’t actually do anything, never leaving behind the counter. You order at the counter and you have to get up and get your order and anything else you want like extra salsa or napkins. They don’t have guacamole, which is disappointing being that they sell amazing avocado on the island. Wonderful opportunity for improvement and be a go to place. Too bad!

Came on a whim based on the high Google review rating. The restaurant is quite small with limited seating located in a strip plaza. We ordered the fish rack salad and two hard tacos. The fish taco salad was the best out of all the option but even that was bland. The portion size is generous and price quite affordable

It’s located in a strip mall and unassuming on the outside, but the food is delicious! My favorite is the rice, bean, and cheese burrito wet style. Great value for the large portions and made to order! There’s also a patio to eat your food on.

The cheese in my enchiladas wasn’t melted, refried beans were like soup, rice was good. Eating in….no chips?? The counter tip jar is tacky as this is a self serve restaurant. No mas for me!

When you walk in, you order your food immediately. Sort of like a fast food place. You pay there and you get seated. I got my food in about 12 minutes.

This is the best Mexican food you will find on the big island. When im in the area, I make sure to stop here to grab a bite. It’s worth every penny.
