We also ordered the mango, guava, and lime Jarritos. It was the perfect dinner to end my days off. Tacos on a Thursday night off? Si, por favor! Wow. We loved the tacos so much, we ate 10 tacos. Lol. Thank you for the hospitality!

Will repeat every time I'm in Oahu.

I went with the bean and cheese burrito, mostly because the price just made more sense to me. At…read morearound $8 for a burrito, compared to almost $7 for a single taco, I felt like I was getting a lot more food for my money. The burrito was bigger, more filling, and definitely felt more substantial. When you start adding up a couple of tacos and the price gets close to $20, the burrito seemed like the obvious choice, especially since the ingredients are pretty simple. Sometimes it's not about ordering the most exciting thing on the menu. It's about getting the best bang for your buck. And for me, this burrito definitely won that battle today. I'm glad I stopped by! I was in the area picking up something I purchased in Haleiwa, so it worked out perfectly. I'll definitely give the tacos a try another time... preferably when I'm a little farther away from rent day. Honestly, with my lifestyle changing, I'm trying to enjoy being able to go out and eat without feeling like I need to spend $50 every time. Right now, anything under $10 feels like a value to me. Anything under $5? We won. Maybe this is my new era of fighting back against lifestyle inflation, one affordable meal at a time. Thanks KillerTacos for bringing value in your menu pricing.

We stopped in for happy hour on our first visit, and it did not disappoint. As Southern California residents, we're a little picky about our Mexican food, but the chips and salsa were excellent. We enjoyed it so much that we made a second trip to the North Shore and stoped in again for lunch. The experience was just as good the second time around. The grilled fish tacos were good, the service was friendly, and those chips and salsa were just as delicious as we remembered. If you're looking for a laid-back, local spot with great Mexican food on the North Shore, Jorge's is definitely worth a visit!

I was not at all impressed. The server was friendly but seemed to be distracted and fidgety. The decor was confusing - this is a Mexican restaurant but also has surfer vibes? Now for the food. My boyfriend was not impressed as the carnitas did not have any flavor. We also ordered the birria tacos which wasn't too bad. Needless to say, there are probably better Mexican places to try on the North Shore.

So we grabbed lunch at Clau & Chuis Cocina restaurant in the same parking lot as Walgreen in Wahiawa. I never had mole which is a sauce made of chocolate, it was very original I enjoyed it, but I don't prefer sweet, but I'm sure that was a very good mole the rest of the plate was very good and the hot sauce, they make their own which was very good it was on the more spicy side, so if you don't care for spicy this would be to hot and spicy. My wife enjoyed her choice and I tasted some it was very good and grill the outer flour tortilla with a crispy texture. They had other items that looked good that would like to try at another visit to Wahiawa. Lots of parking share with other business, the restroom and dining area was clean and service was great. I tried the special Chicken mole and my wife quesadilla with beef brisket.

Flavor was solid, portion was generous, and the food itself is the main reason I keep coming back. The ambiance is chill and local. Most of the afternoon crowd seemed to know each other, which gives the place a comfortable neighborhood feel. That said, the inside is a little dingy and could probably use a renovation. The issue on this visit was the service. When we got there, it was pretty empty, maybe 4 or 5 people sitting at the bar. The guy working behind the bar seated us, but then never brought menus, never brought water, and never came back to take our order. When my friend tried waving him down, he ignored us. Eventually another employee came in, and the bartender just told him, "Go take his order," without acknowledging us at all. I don't know if he was only working the bar that day, but he could have at least brought water, menus, or simply said someone would be right with us. Instead, the whole interaction came across as dismissive and unnecessary. Food was very good as always, but service matters too. Based on this visit, I'd call it 3 stars overall.

They give the same amount of rice. This time around, went on a Sunday in July; took over 45 min from ordering to getting the food. Difficult to get a seat. There's a sign that they didn't have the spice version available because they were short staff. However, they gave chili sauce. Finding a parking spot in the shared lot was quick; they still charge $2 to park.

Scampi had decent flavor, though it was on the lighter side and not jam-packed as how my hometown, Houston, would have done with garlic butter cajun flavor. It was on the milder side borderline underseasoned for us. The lemon & butter shrimp was just... strange? We tried to, but could not understand/fathom who came up with the flavor/taste. Maybe they had an off-day? The hotdog was just very basic for $5 (1 link of hit dog plus 2 scoops of garlic rice). Overall, NOT worth the hype -- HTX Viet Garlic Butter Cajun flavor is sooo much better!

I'm normally not the biggest fan of shrimp, so I don't usually gravitate towards it. But I wish I wasn't so stubborn because the few bites I had of both the Butter Garlic Shrimp and Spicy Garlic Shrimp completely changed my mind. Since I'm not the biggest spice person, I preferred the butter garlic option. The shrimps aren't peeled, but they're butterflied, which makes them much easier to peel. The shell itself is packed with flavor, though, so I recommend sucking it before removing. The rice was flavorful, and the salad on the side was refreshing. I simply regret not ordering a plate of shrimp for myself. I'm a lazy person and don't like peeling shrimp, but this was worth peeling for.

BACKGROUND ON JENNY'S SHRIMP:…read more Jenny's Shrimp Truck began as a small, family-run business with a simple mission: to serve the freshest, most flavorful shrimp on the North Shore. Jenny, the founder, was inspired by the rich seafood culture of Hawaii and wanted to share her love for local flavors with the community. Armed with a secret garlic butter recipe passed down through generations, she set out to create something truly special. In the early days, Jenny's food truck was nothing more than a converted van with a makeshift kitchen, parked along the scenic roads of Haleiwa. She focused on using locally sourced shrimp, ensuring that every plate was as fresh as possible. Word quickly spread about the delicious shrimp dishes, and soon, both locals and tourists were lining up to get a taste. JENNY'S SHRIMP TRUCK MISSION STATEMENT: A Taste of Hawaiian Paradise Nestled in the heart of Haleiwa, Hawaii, Jenny's Shrimp Truck is a must-visit destination for seafood lovers looking for a true taste. BACKGROUND ON VISIT: This was part of our Dole Plantation/Haleiwa tour that we signed up for. Lunch wasn't provided so this was on our own dime. CREDIT CARDS: They're accepted, but they tack on a transaction fee. RESTROOM: There's a restroom next door. AMBIANCE/DECOR: Not much ambiance, but they do have tables and chairs setup in their covered patio. SERVICE: Service was alright. Didn't take long for our food to come out. FOOD OF CHOICE: Garlic shrimp plate which came with rice and a slice of pineapple. Enjoyed the shrimp. It was quite tasty and easy to peel. I had a nice time eating the rice with their signature garlic sauce. SHRIMP TRUCK FOR THOUGHT: I would love to come back to have it again.
