    Cool spot to grab some refreshing bites. I got the blue crab dip and camaron ceviche (shrimp). It's a small spot so more of a grab and go place. The ceviche was okay I wish there was more lime flavor, but it was a generous portion and enough to feed 3. The blue crab dip was also tasty paired with the crispy tortilla chips.

    Blue crab spread with ceviche

    I tried their famous blue crab spread with ceviche tostada and it was amazing. I loved it so much. I'm really happy I got to try them at the farmers market so I didn't have to make the drive all the way to their actual location lol.

    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)

    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

    This must be the place - considering there are 2 locations and both are close to 5 stars. We hit the North Shore location just in time for lunch. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when we walked into the small shop- ok most *local* eateries have been small. They call it Sonoran Style, I'd say it's more Sonoran take on Hawaiian foods. Order at the counter and a short wait. Poke Bowl for me and Orale Poke Nachos for the Mrs. They were both loaded with the seafood mix. Excellent taste and a lot of food. Price was a reasonable for what we got. These guys are legit @ definitely worth the stop

    Another top notch visit today! The seafood here always tastes amazing. The ceviche really is delicious and reminds me of what my grandma used to make in a fridge drawer growing up. Service is fast and friendly! Bring your own beer & have them make you a michelada! $15 with ceviche or $7 without.

    Definitely deserving of the title "Hawaii's best ceviche." The first bite of the shrimp and fish ceviche I ordered blew me away with how fresh and flavorful it was. I also really enjoyed pairing this with their crab spread!

    Cute inside and out

    Absolutely amazing Mexican food. Everything is fresh made, and authentic. We had the shrimp, tostada along with fresh fish and shrimp ceviche... everything was absolutely delicious. In addition, they have fresh made-daily homemade Horchata, that is unmatched on anywhere on the Hawaiian islands and rivals most of the Mexican food we've had in California and Mexico. Marcella and her team offer fantastic customer service. She saw we had questions, came out from behind the counter and offered a sample of her ceviche with a smile that sealed the deal for us The location is perfect after a day surfing and ambiance fits right into this North Shore town (Haleiwa). There is ample seating on the front porch and inside with easy parking behind ... so sit down and enjoy a wonderful meal or take some to go... You can't go wrong with this authentic Mexican restaurant oasis on the Hawaiian islands. PS... While we're not locals, we did notice at least half the folks that picked up food on this beautiful Sunday afternoon we're locals... Clearly they know where the best food is just like us out-of-towners.

    Poke bowl
    Greg O.

    Looked delicious. Tasted awful. Worst poke bowl I've ever had. The rice was so hard, as if it was a day old and not cooked with enough water. Everything else tasted ok, but since the rice was so hard, I had to eat the toppings by itself, ruining the bowl. (What's a poke bowl without rice???). The lady taking our order seemed like we were an inconvenience as well. The shop itself was very clean though. Maybe today was an off day. Just disappointed that I spent $20+ (with tip) for food that wasn't good.

    Place was super small and cozy but they do have seating to eat. Was in the area with a friend and decided to try it. Staff is super friendly, tried their Poke Nachos and it was huge portion, great for sharing and super delicious! Try their Aguachiles! We got the verde, and it was so addicting! It can be spicy but good portion of seafood in and refreshing to eat after.

    If you're in Hawaii and love seafood, Da Seafood Cartel is an absolute must. The quality is unreal -- everything tastes incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with a lot of care. You can tell they really respect the ingredients. The flavors are bold without overpowering the natural sweetness of the seafood. Great indoor and outdoor dining, We've been back 3 times!

    La Torre and Blue Crab Tostada

    Absolutely incredible!! The food is so fresh and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and portions.

    Horchata

    Found this place on TikTok and knew my husband had to try it! I'm currently pregnant and am limited on seafood but the employee was kind to be able to modify for me so I ended up getting Da OG Tostada too - modification : cooked shrimp and no onions for me! 10/10 will be coming back on my next trip. Plus the horchata was so good!

    perfectly filled the bellies of our party of 7

The host asked where we'd like to sit, we chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful day. The chickens walking around just gave it that island feel. The gentleman who took our order asked if we'd like to purchase an unlimited chips and salsa for $5. I thought that was odd since every Mexican restaurant gives you chips and salsa complimentary. Minus star for that. Anyway, at first we declined but my daughters actually ended up wanting some so we gave in. I ordered the taco salad with ground beef and my husband ordered the carne asada. The meat was very soft but he said it could've used a little more flavor. My salad was delicious and huge. If in the area we'd definitely go again.

I just found out that they now charge for chips and salsa. No problem, but at least offer it to its early so we can munch while we wait that long period of no food. My date said her chimichanga was good but not as good as her favorite Mexican restaurant. My enchilada was good but not great. My ground beef taco was pretty good though. Beans and rice was also good

And since I arrived hours after sunset, so dark that none of the heavily promoted "views of the harbor, ocean, and postcard sunsets" could be visible, I can attest that the fresh food more than enough made up for it. The entrees on the menu are divided into two sections: "from the sea" and "from the land." And c'mon, you're in Hawaii, so you really should only be entertaining seafood. I stand firm on that even knowing that the prime rib is one of, if not the only, specialties here and that they run out if you get there too late in the night. I had the furikake crusted baked fish, which was exceptionally tender. The wasabi butter sauce complemented it perfectly and thankfully, the chefs were generous with how much they dolloped onto the plate so I was getting lost in the sauce. The restaurant's decor felt aged in a charming way. Which probably sounds like a backhanded compliment but it did feel on brand: unpretentious and relaxed, if reminiscent of a time pre-Y2K. The service was kind though fairly unmemorable, which makes sense as we were a large and fairly rambunctious dining party.

This is another location I try to stay away from, but had to try this place!

There were lots of space for parking right next to Stonefish grill when we were there. I was so happy to see they had many healthy choices on their menu. I decided to go with the Caesar's salad and my date chose the Prime Rib poke that was sooo good! What a great combo of protein, veggies and carbs.

For our mains we ordered the grilled mahi mahi and fish and chips. My mahi mahi was grilled to a moist perfection, and the brown butter sauce could have overwhelmed the fish, so I went light on the sauce. Their fish n' chips are not your traditional Irish bar offering. The fish was gently battered with panko and fried just right. Their homemade tarter sauce was absolutely delicious. They have a very interesting craft cocktail menu. My Ku'Ula-Kai Mai Tai was on point and perfectly balanced - sweet and sour.
