We picked up food to Shaka Tacoz on our way from the airport to our resort after a LONG travel day from the east coast. We didn't get to eat them immediately, and by the time we did they were no longer hot. HOWEVER, they were so freaking delicious that even now, over a month later my youngest nephew keeps talking about how much he loved those tacos and wants to have them again. Most of us had the ono fish tacos but one of us had tacos with pork. All across the board, we were very satisfied and pleased with our tacos. The mango chili sauce was especially divine! If you're in Kona, definitely head over to Shaka Tacoz and give them a try!

It's got a good kick and amazing flavor. Would love to try their hotter sauces next time. (Coffee in pic is from a different business in the marketplace.)

The other options didn't look as good, so let's order! Got the carne asada plate with the flour tortillas. Slight wait, but the food was worth it! Is it the best in the world? No? Is it good for Hawaii? Damn right! The rice and beans were seasoned well and pretty damn good! The guac was solid and the tortillas were perfectly heated up! The downside, the meat had very little flavor. Did not taste marinated and grilled at all. Assumed it was cooked on a flat top. Slightly disappointed, but it's still way better than a lot of others places here! If you're craving good Mexican food, this is a solid choice!

Yes, the service is slow but let's be clear: this isn't "bad service" slow, this is true island time slow. It forces you to slow down, breathe, and actually look around. And trust me, you'll want to look around. The ocean views here are absolutely spectacular (granted, you're in Hawaii so every view is great) To top it all off, they have 48 beers on tap. With a selection that massive and a backdrop that beautiful, there is zero reason to be in a hurry anyway. Grab a pint, soak in the view, and just enjoy the pace.

Ground beef from a package, thrown into a frying pan with NO seasonings have more flavor than these tacos. Absolutely bland. They're very small; and I don't mean because they're traditional street tacos. You could take all the meat, and put it into a single taco and it would be a good size. The person working also seemed to either be having a bad day, hates her job, or just doesn't like people. Then they nickel and dime you for anything extra (salsa, sauces, condiments, etc.). Save your money, go inside Ocean's on Tues/Thu/Sat and get good tacos for $5.

I needed something from Home Depot and they are located right in the parking lot! I ordered 2 asada and one quesabirria tacos. I asked for their hottest hot sauce, which I was told was the red sauce. The order didn't take too long to come out. Again this was an advanced food truck with a remote buzzer to let you know when your food is ready! I guess I'm used to the old school roach coaches where they just yell at you when your order is ready! My overall impression was that the flavors were a little on the bland side, but overall very good. The quesabirria taco was crispy on the outside and with soft melty cheese and moist tender meat on the inside. Adding their not so hot red sauce gave it much more flavor, but it could have used a little more heat in my opinion. Could have also been helped if it came with the consume. My fault, I forgot to order it, but for an extra $3, not sure it would have made that much of a difference. I was very impressed with the little asada tacos. Pretty small, but packed with meat and more flavorful than the quesabirria. Maybe because these came with salsa already applied! That may be the reason. Either way, pretty darn good show for a Hawaiian Mexican experience. I'd do it again. Probably get 3 or 4 asada tacos next time.
