Tried Chicanos Street Tacos in Honolulu and it did not disappoint. I had the carnitas tacos and they were seriously flavorful--perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed into warm tortillas with fresh toppings. You can tell they put care into the food. I also got a horchata, which was super refreshing and had that nice sweet cinnamon flavor that paired perfectly with the tacos. Definitely a spot I'd come back to if I'm craving legit street-style tacos. read more

It was unfortunate that our timing was off when we arrived around 9pm. We were told they actually don't open until 10pm despite the posted hours, so the only thing available at the time was quesadillas. We thought the full menu would be available, but unfortunately it wasn't. We still decided to support because we were hungry, but the quesadillas ended up being overloaded with onions. Also, when we reviewed our Square receipt afterward, it showed $0 for quesadillas and listed "Burrito Chicken & Pork x2 ($15 each)," which we never ordered. I understand they may have needed to ring it up a certain way, but the receipt and charge information was confusing and inaccurate. read more

Takeout Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located across from the Convention Center, across the street from Sura, is a food truck called Chicano Street Tacos. Service was efficient, but my sister had to remind the guy about my horchata. He wasn't sure if he even had enough and didn't really say that it was available. He charged us for it, so we had to follow up on it. It was quite good! Even though there was a table and chairs along the sidewalk, we took our food home because it was a blustery, chilly evening with many cars passing by. I ordered three tacos: shrimp (I was reassured that it wasn't spicy), birria (turned out to be spicy), and pork. The shrimp was a bit overdone, but had a nice smokey essence. I took one bite of birria and couldn't take another bite. Ouch! The pork was okay. All of the tacos had generous amounts of chopped sweet onion and fresh parsley. I'm glad that I had a chance to try this food truck! read more

Great tacos and very great customer service !! Also food was very quick and fresh!!!

The carnitas tacos were absolutely delicious! I found this taco place by accident. Drove by on a day that it was closed, came back the next day and I'm so glad I did. I tried tacos in different areas in Waikiki and Oahu but this was honestly the most delicious and authentic tacos that I had. Service was great, made to order. Salsa was also delicious with the perfect spice! Ambiance is not great, but you can take the food to go, or they have a little table on the sidewalk, it does suddenly get windy. Price was very reasonable, will be returning and recommend! read more

Amazing tasty tacos!! The chicken street tacos are my fav here , what I love most about this place is not only the customer service since the guys who work in the truck are always friendly to talk too but also that they aren't skimpy with the portions they give! They really load the tacos up so if you ask me they are worth the price given so that's a plus in my book! I try to stop here whenever I'm in the area by chance given i live in town and it never disappoints especially people like me who need to satisfy their 1am taco cravings lol. 10000/10 read more

Love street tacos... I'm not gonna comment on any authenticity but do know what I like and really wanted to try these cute street tacos so you know I was excited to see Chicano Street Tacos truck parked right beside Rockza and yes where do you park...I dashed from a parking next door when I saw that they were open and was excited to give them a try. I believe it's standard for the tacos to be sold individually and here it's $5 each ($6 for shrimp) which I think is a bit steep but let's give them a chance. Carnitas, Chicken and Carne Asada is what I got along with a Jarritos. I'm horribly sorry I just can't describe which is which though yes each are very different I just really wish that they list what comes with each tacos cause I have no idea and one of them had some heat which I loved but know some besties that have sensitive palate. The service is nice and the tacos was yummy though running in and spending $19 to be served on a paper plate was a bit rough and rather than taking it home decided to sit on the table provided right along Kapiolani Blvd. Thank you! read more

Chula known by many has been creating tacos for over 7 years she makes flavorful tacos including special touches to it that just make the person feel special. Adding the right amount out of everything makes me honestly say i'm always honored when she's working knowing i'll get the best quality. everyone can make a good taco but she makes great ones! Always got me hooked and tbh i fell in love with tacos ever since she made me my first real taco. Chicanos street tacos definitely changed alot when she was put in the mix. i can't find her as much there anymore i wonder when she goin come back cause the tacos are missing that touch. read more

These mediocre tacos ARE NOT, I REPEAT ARE NOT!!! authentic Mexican street tacos!! The worker seemed defeated like he was tired to the point he could not fold the burrito right. It fell all over the plate as soon as my partner ate it. The tacos were dry and that back there wasn't real carne asada I don't even know what the heck that was dollar tree meat????? The tortillas were dry barely any onion to cilantro; it was bad. They served us canned beans!! Not even real refried beans. And an old rice that wasn't even close, but I guess the name of the restaurant speaks for itself so that's fair. Only thing that saved it were the sauces. The mango habanero and red salsa were tasty and had a heat kick to it read more

I was able to park at rockza for a little bit to pick up my order. There was a man that came out and patrolled the parking lot because obviously I didn't look like a patron of rockza when I pulled into the driveway. I asked him if I could park here to purchase tacos and he said yes and walked to the other cars in the lot. Their food stall is actually on the front of the street where the sidewalk is next to catfish corner. There are two tables near the street if you choose to eat there. Their grand opening special had $3 tacos on 3/29. I picked up 2 tacos each that they had that was listed on their menu (shrimp, pork, and steak). They also have several fruit drinks and horchata available. When I arrived - there was just one couple before me in line. Shortly after a few others came. Probably since it was around dinner time. There was some miscommunication along the way but that was eventually resolved, so thank you for trying to fix the issues on the back end. read more

Loved the tacos!! NorCal girl living in Hawaii craving some LA style tacos! It's call Chicano!!! They better represent! LOL. Sorry for the late post, I went there Wednesday night the day before July 4th. I ordered the Carnitas and the Cane Asada. Yummy!! I would come back for sure. The only problem is parking to pick up tacos. I came by myself to pick up tacos so looking for parking is challenging. No one want to walk at in the area alone. With friends it's ok but alone, not so much. They didn't have any Horchata. So that means I have to return, just to try more food. Next time the shrimp ceviche! I will have to remember to ask for hot sauce. Even without hot sauce the tacos were delicious. read more

Chicano Street Tacos - Carnitas and Carne Asada - Food Trucks Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very overpriced for the smallest size of tacos, the green salsa could be a bit spicier it had no spice at all, nor did it taste like salsa ,more of a watered down Flavor. I payed $37 6 small tacos. Server was a very nice man but i literally went to Taco Bell right after because I felt like I only ate one taco... read more

Nothing Chicano about this place. Smallest tacos I've ever had in my life smh. Mi abuela would be pist! 2/10

I eat here fairly often as it's close to my work I love talking to the employees! They are always helpful and have great tacos unlike anywhere else on island if you close by stop for a snack and a show from Teddy at rockza! read more

I didn't have a issue with my food till I got 3 tacos and I was charged for 4 and I also got two drinks a Horchata and a watermelon and they were about 6 ounces about $30 for all of them. I can definitely say I'm not coming back. I came just for the pastor cause it's only Saturdays only and they were completely sold out at 1pm. I couldn't even get any side dishes, like rice or beans. When I finally got my tacos, it was not what you would expected. It was the meat on the bottom and then the tacos on top of the meat. I did not enjoy my food. read more

Sign said they open at 12 but when we went around 5pm, it was closed. I checked their Instagram and it said they opened at 6pm today. Came back around 6:30pm and the guy just got there and prepping the food. I also stayed for around 10 mins thinking they would be done but nope; they were still prepared for the night. I wish they stayed true to their hours posted. I understand its a small business and they could be short staffed but at least post something saying the correct time so people don't waste their time coming back and forth. It sucks cause this isn't the first time this happened. It happens multiple times that they said they will be open at a certain time but really they will be open an hour later. read more

Tacos were small and alright I was over charged just because. I am a single mother taking her kid on vacation and people just take advantage of u. I ordered 4 tacos and paid $38 Each one was $5 Not going back read more

Second time back and they had no salsa, no lime, no agua fresca, no jarritos and barely any meat on the tacos. Nothing fell off. When asking the lady she had nonchalant responses. Pretty disappointed read more

Got a fire ass burrito by this guy name Shane was helpful and order was quick thanks for the suggestion!!!

No to be messed up but probably one of the worst tacos I've ever had. Me and my group of friends all got some and there was like no meat on the tacos. Looks like he split one taco into 4. The meat was also cold . We Very disappointed based on the other reviews saying it was good. We laughed it off after pretty much saying how we got scammed lol. Cool little truck though. Fuck lol. read more

Chicano Street Tacos - This was the owners response to me leaving an honest review - Food Trucks Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm tying this review as I'm eating this food. This place is worth the wait. Everything was made fresh and when I say everything I mean everything ! The service was great, very welcoming. Ambiance of this place were good. Felt good to see a part of home on an island. Definitely recommend this place 10000%. The food has a lot of flavor ! Reasonable prices as well ! read more

Aloha! I'm updating my review and giving 5 stars to the owner for confirming he has remedied the concerns raised in my original review, regarding the prior employee. I am going back soon to try the variety of tacos and burritos. So happy to see such a conscientious owner who truly cares about his customer's having a good experience. Thank you Sir read more

Noted: they have a sign up at their truck that says... close at 3AM... verbally, the guy said they were closing and it was only 2AM... so according to them, it's our fault, so I'll just take that L. But if they are going to proceed to accept us despite saying they're closing down.. they should at least give standard service... Food: alright 6/10 - Meat portion is all I could say that's great, nothing more - supposedly comes w/ garnishes but because we came late we didnt get any.. not mad about that. i'm upset we had to pay the same original price when we didn't have the full shabang. Drinks: 0/10 - we paid first so if I could, I would ask for a refund. Drinks tasted like straight up warm water with food coloring.. literally. We paid first then they made our 2 drinks, $5 each for a small cup of horchata and watermelon (came warm, no ice, no lid (they usually have lid but they were too lazy to give us.. only assuming b/c the dude stared for a minute, at the storage place where the lids were suppose to be at, & just said "sorry we're all out".. like bro, you can't tell me you're out of lids when I see 50+ cups stacked behind... how do you have uneven ratio of lids & cups?! You're a takeout truck with no dine in seats?! In all honesty, I call it greed or no respect with our money, if a business owner makes the drinks & see that its not up to the standards (warm & very very watered down) but still priced it as is and still gave it to a paying customer anyways... I guess the only respect I have for them is that they responded to this review, so hopefully they probably improve & not take it personal. read more

Chicano Street Tacos - Carne asada tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Don't listen to the negative reviews, I can give an honest one as I work right next to the truck and eat there very often. This is place is AMAZING and so cool that it's open late til 2. I usually always get carnitas but have been having fun switching up the meats. You will not find a cheaper more authentic taco on Oahu!!! The owner is very hard working and has put his heart and soul into the truck which you can taste when you eat here. read more

Whenever I'm in town I always stop by! The tacos are amazing & the sauces are A1. Plus Nick & Chula have the best vibe! Always friendly!

I wanted to check this spot out ever since I moved to the area. The service was great, although the food was pretty average for Hawaii Mexican food (not the best already). I tried the Birria tacos and the Christmas burrito. They have a small eating area which is perfect if you're on the go! read more

Chicano Street Tacos - Chicken tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Have attempted to try this place three times. 1st time showed up 12:15, the sign said open at 12. The woman behind the counter stated they wouldn't be open for another hour. 2nd time, show up an hour after opening on taco Tuesday and the gentleman behind the counter informed me that only chicken tacos were ready. 3rd time was last night. Their sign states open until 3am. I arrived at approximately 1:30am and a different gentlemen informed me they were closed. I really want to support local, but this establishment is never actually operating when their hours claim. read more

Went here for a late night bite. Pricey bland tacos. No flavor and they're super tiny. So disappointed. No parking around the area, FYI.
