Pricy and very mediocre tacos that don't quite live up to the franchise name…read more Just a little bit of filling, salsa tasted like it was from a jar and not homemade, a few toppings (lettuce and onion). Beef was rather greasy. Even with 3 tacos for $18, it was rather small portions.

Jorge's Mexican Restaurant was such a great find! It has that authentic local vibe, making it feel…read morelike the kind of place the locals actually go. 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!

We decided to give this place a try after getting some amazing acai bowls at Haleiwa Bowls…read more Located in the Haleiwa Town Center, this place has ample parking and is situated in the corner, facing the street. 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.

Chill grill is located in the little food truck parking lot across McDonald's in Hale'iwa. I was…read moreinterested in trying out their chicken nachos. It was okay. Nothing special to remember about it. It tasted plain tbh. I also ordered the chicken quesadilla and the sliders. My kids said it was Eh! Nothing special. For that price, and the waiting time, I wish it some type of specialness to their food. But nothing special came out of it. I couldn't even find the name of the food truck in front of the food truck to check them out before I thought of eating there. Please improve on taste rather than quantity. They gave a good amount for the price. I want more taste and not some store bought chicken shredded, more taste on home made hamburger, and quesadillas was mediocre. It needs something. Mood: full because I was just hungry Satisfaction: hmmmm ok Parking: go early to get some, locals are free Service: not too nice or enthusiastic but NOT not nice

If you want your food instantly after you order go to McDonalds... food is made fresh to every order here and the wait is always worth it! It is a food truck after all not a full scale restaurant kitchen.

We ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl and the Loco Moco, and both were incredibly satisfying and flavorful.

But what I didn't know was that they don't have a happy hour...they have a HAPPY DAY!!!!! 10-6 PM! So even though we were not really hungry cause we just had lunch, we ordered some crispy tacos...which are four minis. The day was getting happier and happier! The bartender was great! Friendly and attentive! And it still has the same great vibe to just relax and enjoy! Gracias and Mahalo El Ranchero!

The food at Taqueria El Ranchero is still very good, and the prices are reasonable. I had the wet…read moreseafood burrito with shrimp, and as usual, it had an impressive amount of shrimp in it. 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.

Same great garlic sauce on the shrimp but shrimp were smaller and not as succulent. Still good but…read morenot as good as before Still sweet garlicky buttery flavor. 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.

Came 15 minutes before they closed and they had my order ready in about 5 minutes everything tasted fresh and hot not all greasy too, all the plates come with shrimp+rice+salad and a slice pineapple.

Stopped by Jenny's Shrimp Truck while exploring the North Shore and tried both the Garlic Shrimp…read moreand Spicy Garlic Shrimp plates. After having Giovanni's before, I honestly enjoyed Jenny's more. The shrimp were plump, fresh, and cooked just right. The Garlic Shrimp had a rich buttery garlic flavor that wasn't overly greasy, while the Spicy Garlic Shrimp added a nice kick without overpowering the taste of the shrimp. Both plates came with plenty of sauce that paired perfectly with the rice. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. The portions were generous and filling, making it a great stop for lunch. The seating area is pretty basic and can get crowded during busy times. That said, the shrimp were delicious, and I'd choose Jenny's over Giovanni's if I'm craving garlic shrimp on the North Shore again.
