    Coming from San Diego (best place to get Mexican food state side in my biased opinion lol) we had to stop by this place that came highly recommended from a couple of friends. We ordered the family pack ceviche which was 64oz of ceviche. It came with blue crab dip & tostadas. I'll tell you right now it was more than enough to feed 7-8 people. There were only 4 of us and it took us 2 days to finish after bringing it back to our hotel in a cooler hahaha The ceviche itself was delicious, nothing too out of the ordinary BUT what really got us was the blue crab dip combo. It was the perfect creamy addition to the fresh shrimp and fish ceviche. Service was fast and the workers were kind. There is plenty of parking in the back and a restroom for customers, you just have to ask them to unlock it for you. Not much room for dining in if you're in a big group but it's a super laid back spot close to the food trucks. Another plus is that it's located right next to Jenny's Shrimp Truck, which in my opinion beat out all the other shrimp trucks in the area.

    Shrimp Aguachile

    This place came highly recommended. There are multiple locations. Sour: I was very excited to try this place. All over IG people were raving about it. I thought it was good but I wouldn't say I need to come back multiple times throughout my vacation. The most recommended meal which was the shrimp ceviche was my least favorite. Sweet: The blue crab dip was very good. Not my favorite by itself but with the other ceviches it elevates the flavor. My favorite was the ahi tuna. We also ordered the shrimp aguachile. Both had the most flavor. Everything was fresh. Overall the place was good I would go back to try other options but only if I'm nearby.

    Very small portion of crab dip under the "ceviche"

    Blue crab dip/spread was amazing. I get the hype on that for sure. Ceviche is just mediocre, mostly tomato/onion and pretty bland. Disappointing as I've gotten so many recommendations for this place and I don't think I'd go back.

    Fresh Ceviche and great balance. Service was fast and ample parking everywhere when I went Local food truck setting Will go back again!

    Cabo

    Stopped by around 5pm and the place was empty. Greeted by a nice friendly gentleman at the cashier. The vibe was definitely cool, open air comfortble place with seating outside. I ordered a Cabo and steak taco to go. Shortly my ordered arrived neatly packed along with napkin and plastic utensils. I opened the first box and was amazed how the Cabo taco looked. Packed with beef, shrimp avocado and salsa along with a container of sauce. The first bite was heaven! The tortillas was cooked perfectly and held the topping intact allowing a big scrumptious bite. Next was the 2 steak taco stuffed with beef, cheese, tomato with a lime wedge. It was spectacular. I'm from CA and know good Mexican food. This place is the bomb. Will try the ceviche next!

    Ceviche La Basta
    Daniella P.

    The ceviche was good. I can't say it was the best I've ever had since I'm Mexican but it was good for Hawaii. I think it was the flavor combos for me that felt kinda off. The seafood was fresh though!

    We were met by Spanish-speaking staff, which is always a pleasant surprise on Oahu. The ceviche was our main target, but we were suggested to try the blue crab tobiko spread, which was an excellent suggestion made by our cashier. The ceviche, fried tortillas, and crab spread were really tasty, refreshing, and satisfying. The crab spread was creamy and added an extra oomph to the ceviche. We also all got horchatas, something I had missed while being away from LA. My group sat outside, which was really sunny and gave serious beach town vibes.

    Ceviche & poke nachos
    Megan L.

    I was blown away by his good this spot it! The seafood was fresh and bright and we just knew it was going to be good. We started with the crab ceviche with tostadas and every bite was delicious. The poke nachos were huge with a generous portion of poke. The spicy mayo was the perfect amount to balance out all the flavors. I wish it was closer to downtown so j could get it all the time!! Everything was 10/10 and I can't wait to to go back

    Ceviche Tostada to Go
    Cameron M.

    We have been craving Ceviche ever since he got to Hawaii and heard about Da Seafood Cartel from lots of people. We saw it as we were driving by and decided to stop in and check them out. We preferred from the delightful lady at the counter and she answered all our questions. The shop is small but there are tables inside and outside. Thankfully there is also good parking available out back. The flavors were great and the sauce really enhanced the Ceviche. Everything was fresh, light, and flavorful. Super stop if you are hungry for something other than Poke. :)

    Lindsey C.

    Sooooo yummy! Very good portions and sizes for all the shrimp we got. Lots of tostadas, you can get extras if you need more. Get the blue crab dip too, that was exquisite! Small interior but has seating. Staff is nice.

    I absolutely loved eating at Da Seafood Cartel. It was highly recommended to stop by while I was passing through Haleiwa on Oahu, and it was so worth it , especially since I love ceviche so much. The staff was very friendly and welcomed me as soon as I walked in. I already knew what I wanted to order because my SIL told me it was a must see. I tried the ceviche with the blue crab dip. Everything was incredibly fresh and packed with great flavor. This place is highly rated and, in my opinion, the best spot on the island for ceviche. It may be small, but it's definitely worth the drive. The staff is always willing to help you find exactly what you're craving.

    Atun tostada  A MUST GET! {Ahi tostada)
    Silvia G.

    Ah! If you want a good tostada, order the Tostada Atun (ahi) Fresh tostada served with fresh ahi, citrus sesame sauce , youll be licking your fingers get those extra homemade tostadas ! The O. G tostada was too watery, it overrides the taste of the blue crab spread , when there's shrimp ceviche on top! Well chopped ingredients & peeled cucumbers could help. My opinion Support your local cevicheria! Cute, open air ambiance

    First time coming to Oahu and saw this place had amazing reviews so I had to come and try for myself. It's a casual spot with the freshest and most flavorful seafood I have tasted. The workers were kind and the food came out really fast!

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.

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.

I get that restaurants can be relatively busy, being that I've worked in a kitchen myself, I understand the stress of making sure every customer gets the experience they want and the attention we deserve. I feel like our waitress did not extend that opportunity to us. She would cut me off and answer my question before I even got the opportunity to get it out. And there were various other times she'd immediately walk off after delivering food or drinks not giving us the opportunity to ask any questions or request anything else we may have wanted. However, the location is beautiful and the food really is tasty so don't let my experience deter you from trying it. It's surrounded by nearby shops, all carrying really cool and nice items.

And it's not to say that I didn't like the poke bowl I had at Beach House. (I mean, what's not to love about about digging into some fresh ahi when you're literally feet away from the beach?) It's just that I had the otherworldly experience of eating from Foodland's poke bar the night prior to my lunch here and I couldn't help comparing it to the legendary Foodland. That said, the poke was still delicious and its runner-up status didn't distract from the rest of my meal. The spicy ahi wonton was a standout starter -- the shallot, scallion, tobiko, and chili aioli approach they have for the ahi here works better for the fish than their "beach house special poke sauce" in my opinion. Top it all off with a plantation iced tea: an island version of the Arnold Palmer that replaces the customary lemonade with tropical pineapple juice. We came in around 2:30 pm so we essentially had the dining room to ourselves after the lunch rush, if you don't count the cute zebra dove bird that walked around below the table halfway into our meal, trying to see if there were any stray crumbs it could peck at. Alas, we had deemed the food too good.
