The inside was very clean and modern. They have a different special every day of the week which seemed like a great way to try everything on the menu. The star of the show was the shrimp burrito. Perfectly cooked, tender shrimp, excellently seasoned rice and beans all combined together with crema and lettuce in a grilled tortillas. There was actually quite a bit of shrimp in the burrito. And the salsas added extra depths of flavor. We also got chips and salsa. The chips were nothing to write home about, seemed to have been sitting out for a bit. The owner was nice, she brought out a free chip refill. The verde salsa and spicy salsa were homemade with good flavory and a nice smokiness. I felt the same way about the side salas that came with the burrito. It was decent, nothing special. I imagine the fries would be similar. Overall this was a great place to get some fresh hispanic seafood! The tacos also looked amazing, I would definitely recommend trying out the entrees here.

Taco Tuesday at Kai Joe's is a no-brainer…read more We came for the à la carte taco deals and ended up trying a little bit of everything--the Kai Joe beef taco, chicken taco, surf and turf (shrimp and steak), and the North Shore shrimp taco. Every single one delivered. Great flavor, fresh ingredients, and just the right balance on each. We also grabbed chips and queso, which was exactly what you want it to be--simple, solid, and gone way too fast. Big picture--this group just gets it. They consistently do a great job across their restaurants on OKI, and Kai Joe's is another winner. We'll absolutely be back.

Order at the window, get a buzzer, it goes off and you pick up your order. There are a few covered picnic tables where you can eat, or you can go somewhere else to enjoy. We got an order of loaded tots and the buffalo cauliflower. The tots were DEFINITELY loaded. So much potato cheesy goodness. There was a ton of ground beef on top as well, however, the meat had very little in the way of seasoning. It was almost like a chopped up hamburger. Something to make it more like taco meat or give it some spice would have been welcome. The buffalo cauliflower on the other hand was perfect. Just the right amount of breading and zing from the buffalo sauce, tender cauliflower inside. Could not have been better. Overall, very pleased with this group snack. We didn't get any tacos, next time we will to give a more thorough review but this definitely satisfied our snacky cravings!

We really liked this place a few years ago. However, it seems to have taken a nose dive lately…read more Our party ordered 3 entries & 1 appetizer. They table server was pleasant & did ok taking down & noting our dietary restrictions. It seems that the kitchen ignored our requests. In reflecting, they messed up on each of the 4 dishes out of 4. To start, They didn't bring any chips for the app (a dip - c'mon, how can you have a dip w/o chips. ). We asked for no cheese on 1 entree & it was smothered (you guessed it - in cheese). Then there were the enchiladas which were supposed to have a chocolate mole sauce. Well, it was tomato based. Lastly, I had 3 tacos in corn tortillas (I'm celiac). I even noted that to the server. Only 1 of the 3 was corn. SO THANKFUL I caught it before swallowing my first bite! He brought some corn ones shortly. So if you don't mind not getting what you pay for, go for it. The food did taste good but it wasn't what we ordered. My poor Wife was up during the night for a few hours burping b/c of the cheese.
