Jorge's Mexican Restaurant was such a great find! It has that authentic local vibe, making it feel like 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! read more

We decided to give this place a try after getting some amazing acai bowls at Haleiwa Bowls. 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. read more

Came here on a Sunday early evening to catch their happy hour (3-6pm) for a quick drink and bite. Our server Sarah was so awesome and made our happy hour truly happy. We enjoyed two margaritas and fish tacos and all were delicious. The fish taco was lightly battered and so flavorful. With the flavors of the food/drinks and Sarah's kindness, I would gladly come back and try more things! read more

If you're ever in Haleiwa craving Mexican food and stop by here I hope you have the pleasure of being served by Teresa. She was an amazing server, so kind, so informative to all of our questions, attentive to our table with refills, and she absolutely blessed us with her personality and service. The food was unreal, the portions were beyond what I expected and satisfied us right after a long beach day. 10/10 coming back and requesting Teresa!!!! read more

My husband and I came here after walking around North Shore before our drive back home! We went at 3pm on a Saturday and were seated within 15 minutes. We ordered the happy hour nachos, the quesabirria, and a NA margarita. The nachos were great, and the NA marg was delicious! I wish that the quesabirria had been a little more authentic but otherwise portions were great. Overall I would come back! read more

Was able to quickly get parking and a seat in the craziness of north shore. My plate was large and tasted good! My friend loved her tacos and margarita day deals too. Her favorite part was the special sauce they make on occasion that she was able to add to her tacos. Place felt clean and well decorated, with an interesting seating layout. Giving you the opportunity to sit inside at tables or the bar, or outside! Only complaint on my end is the waiter spent more time flirting with her than doing the table much service. Fed her endlessly with free margaritas, where I got to be the one who dealt with the consequences. Thanks! read more

Saw this on place featured on a local TV show and decided to give it a try. Parking is right out front and more parking towards the back of the small strip mall. Typical Haleiwa traffic, so pack your patience. The restaurant is in the same place that used to be Stormy's Gastropub. Our server was friendly and helpful with questions we had. Bar vibe atmosphere and got a table facing the main road so we could watch all the people walk by. Was intrigued by a dish that was featured on that TV show, the Birria Ramen. It was just ok to me, the taste was good but I think the noodles weren't the right type of noodles, they were too chewy. My husband liked his battered fish burrito. I feel it wasn't the best Mexican food I've had, it was just ok. read more

All I can say is to be sure to try the Blackened Maui tacos!!! They were amazing. So flavorful.

We popped in, six of us, about an hour and a half before they closed. We ordered our drinks, the Cadillac margaritas. They were delicious. Then we started out with the queso dip, the ceviche and guacamole. wow! An amazing start to our meal. We got combinations of tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas. Everyone was extremely happy with their meals. We chose to sit outside, since, it's Hawaii and the weather is amazing. Such an amazing meal. read more

Mediocre service and not the most authentic Mexican food as they claim it to be. Seems like a good place for some casual drinks and nachos but not if you are craving solid Mexican food wanting quick service. I enjoyed the fish tacos but the batter was a bit doughy. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch/dinner after we went shark diving. This was such a good place! It wasn't busy at all and the staff was so nice and helpful. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. They have umbrellas to block the sun. The food came out very fast and was suuuper delicious. I originally ordered the spicy c&c that ended up being too spicy for me unfortunately and the waitress was so kind and switched my drink out. I highly recommend this restaurant! Great Mexican food! read more

such a cute little spot in haleiwa town. There is free parking in the complex but for some reason every stall was taken. If you're patient one will eventually open up. they are located in the front corner with huge yellow walls so you can't miss it. they are near one of the entrances to exit/enter the complex. We went about 2pm and it was probably on the tail end of them being busy but we got a table right away outdoors. They seemed to slow down mid way and I'm not the most needy person, but for some reason i felt super neglected here. i think the main server tried his best, but the busser who helps them totally ignored us - our water was not refilled, we didnt even get napkins or utensils, and even had to ask where some of the things we ordered was. at one point i went up to look for the server or even napkins at their bussing table. I ordered the beer battered fish tacos which i assumed would have been the must get item since there was a lightning bolt next to it. it was about $23 and tasted a little burnt. in the end i barely ate one whole piece, probably cause i was a little annoyed with the service. They seemed to have catered to the large table with tourists next to us instead. We also got guac which is market price. in total for 2 entrees, a beer, and guac was around $70. I still gave a pretty good tip (20%) even tho i felt neglected during this visit, so this was really generous of me on my part when it should have been a lot less, but i do really appreciate that they allow dogs in the outdoor area, so often times i do a auto 20% at the least just for that. i honestly don't think i would make it back here again or recommend it to others tho. read more

I should know better than to eat Mexican food outside of my hometown of San Diego. It just never compares. But I decided to get a couple fish tacos here because my vegetarian boyfriend was struggling to find good Hawaiian options and wanted to fall back on Mexican food. The fish tacos and rice were both good enough but it was the poor excuse for salsa that caused me to question my decision. It was watery and flavorless and I was very disappointed. Chips and salsa can make or break a Mexican meal and sadly it broke it here. read more

We were a party of 8. Ranging from 16 to 83 in ages. Everything we had was amazing. My mother, who has had quesadillas everywhere she goes said the birria quesadilla was the best she ever had anywhere. No one had any complaints and we all over indulged because it was so tasty! Highly recommend for all ages! read more

Jorge's is a great place to take a break and recover while enjoying the North Shore beaches. Easy parking in and out and they have a decent happy hour if you happen to land there in the late afternoon. I stopped in to just grab a quick beer, cool off a bit and thought I'd get some chips and salsa. The chips were clearly homemade which is always nice and I love searching for the occasional holy grail slightly undercooked chewy soft chip, of which there were a few. The salsa was "fine", although nobody is going to eat it and run screaming into the ocean with their mouth on fire. It was tasty enough but on a 1-10 heat scale, it was a touristy "minus 3" haha so just know that going in. (Actually, it was strangely reminiscent of the salsa you'd get at Chili's) The menu was typical North Shore touristy spendy with most dishes over $20 but if you get in on happy hour, fish tacos were only $6 and drinks are discounted so maybe plan accordingly. read more

WOW, killer seafood tacos! Great shrimp tacos, with juicy, seasoned, and fresh shrimp!! Seasoned with the perfect tomato salsa, generous cabbage slaw, and fresh sauce that wasn't overpowering at all. It was so good that we had to order a second dish! It is a bit pricy for tacos. They were unfortunately running low on avocados, so they were unable to make guac or really dress the ceviche properly, but they let us know! The ceviche came with SO much fresh fish! It was the catch of the day!! Service here was out of this world. The server anticipated our needs and brought plates to split dishes, and my water got filled! What a great lunch taco spot! Outdoor seating, indoor seating, bar seating. read more

Being on the hunt for nachos is a theme for me, so no different in Hawaii, which led us here. First of all, the staff were very friendly and efficient. Clearly trying hard and that's so nice. They were hosting trivia but it wasn't very busy and mainly locals hanging out. We ordered our beverages and went with, guess what, the nachos! I'm not a big fan of adding meat or chicken unless I really know the place so we opted for the guacamole add on. I thought it was funny that everything for guacamole said "market price," so clearly it varies. The nachos were pretty solid and probably 3.5/5.0. Not the best I've had but not the worst. Good amount of toppings and a nice melted queso blend with some black beans as well. The guacamole was so so and prob not worth the market price, but we did not care and how can you have nachos without guac?! So overall, pretty average, but a decent little stop up on the north shore if you've got a Mexican food craving with friendly and efficient staff. read more

The service and ambiance were great, but I can't say the same about the food. We both didn't care for the beer battered fish tacos or the asada fries. The birria tacos were the only saving grace. I don't understand why the fries were served in a Chinese takeout container, especially since this is a "Mexican" restaurant. Not sure why all my photos aren't included with this review, since I uploaded more than 10+ photos. read more

Amazing food and great customer service, super chill environment with great air conditioning...

This is a restaurant that's take more pride that than have to--they could get away with a lot less. I'll explain. We live here but spend a lot of time in Haleiwa. Jorge's would still get a lot of tourist foot traffic even if was just ok...but they clearly put a lot into doing a good job. - Food was delicious (Birrea ramen!? yummy!) - Happy Hour til 6pm on a Saturday - Waitress was superwoman. And very kind (s/o to Sarah!) - Nice for our kids and they brought water out to dog that came with their owner. Expected a box check and got a legitimately nice place. Go! read more

After spending the entire day on the North Shore, my family and I decided to go to Jorge's for dinner. It was only a 10-minute drive from Waimea Beach because we left at a later time, and missed the traffic. When we arrived, this place was packed. We had to wait a few minutes for a table. Luckily, we visited during Trivia Night, so the DJ explained the rules after the announcement. The staff walked around to provide booklets and pencils for everyone to participate. Each group had their own team name, and we chose "Vegas Fam." [Food quality] I had the fish tacos and they definitely hit the spot. It could've been spicier, but that's just my personal preference. [Ambiance] Fun, lively, and busy! We really enjoyed their Trivia night. I wish we stayed for the entire game, but we had to head out before it ended. Overall: 4-stars. Our server forgot about our drinks, but we eventually got them. Despite the minor issue, we still had a great time and we would definitely come back. read more

Took a little drive up to North Shore and stopped here for lunch. We nestled up to the bar and ordered food and drinks. Bartender was friendly. Service was great. I ordered the Michelada with Pacifico. It comes with garnishes, tajin, and tamarind candy. It was very good. The cup was bigger than my face. I ordered the fish tacos with the catch of the day (some kind of flakey white fish - I forgot to ask what kind- but it was really good). My fiance ordered the blackened ahi tacos - large chunks of fish - very nice. Ahi was ok but I preferred the white fish. Would definitely come back again. read more

Took a Sunday morning cruise down to Haleiwa and had to check this spot out per a recommendation about the food. Went shortly after opening and it was super chill vibes. Surfing comp on the tvs, intimate booths, and even spots outside if you want. Starting with drinks, we got a lihingmui lilikoi marg w a tajin rim. Really yummy just wish that i had lihingmui in my actual drink instead of it just being a rim typa thing. We also got a lava flow w dark rum, also really good!! Got some queso to snack on while we drank and it was so good. It even had some slices of jalepeno in there for a very pleasant surprise. For food, we had the quesabirria and blackened ahi tacos. Let me tell you.. this was soooo broke da mouth good. My quesadilla was crispy and juicy and the cheese pull i got on that thing was epic. Just wish my consomme had more chile flavor but nothing to complain about since the meat was so flavorful. Those ahi tacos had such good sauces and just the right kick. I almost made us trade plates but i couldn't tell which I wanted more. read more

Jorge's in Haleiwa is exactly what you want from a North Shore Mexican spot -- nothing fancy, just legit food and a chill setup. Small place with a bar downstairs and a few tables up top. I sat upstairs on a date and it was solid. The food is legit Mexican, portions are big, and the vibe outside fits the area. Service is whatever, but it's the North Shore -- you're not here for white-glove treatment. If you're in Haleiwa and want good Mexican without the nonsense, this is the spot. read more

I think most people dont come to Hawaii for mexican food but if you're ever on the north shore and craving mexican cuisine, Jorges is the place to go. The restaurant is a little small but nothing inconvienient. We ordered some queso to start, and I had a birria quesidilla for my meal with a li hing mui lilikoi margarita. The queso came with fresh jalapeno and it was delicious. My quesidilla was HUGE. I only ate one of the 3 pieces but the consome that came with it was great! Also loved the margarita! Service was quick, staff was freindly and the resturant was clean. Will definitely go again. read more

Tall busboy named Ayden should learn how to wipe down a table properly. Beans were cold in the bean and cheese burrito. Steak was barely 110° in the steak burrito. So the beans and the steak were basically cold. The chips are excellent, five star and fresh and hot and delicious if you're just looking to go for chips and salsa. But don't have any drinks because the drinks are subpar. Out of 1000 cocktails I drink, I won't finish two of them. Olivia did great as a server. We spent over $110 for this quite atrocious meal. McDonald's would've been a much better option for eating unhealthy food. I won't come back to Jorge's (who is obviously nowhere near this restaurant and has no idea how to create a proper training program). You're already charging plenty, so why not charge a little more and hire the right cooks and bus staff... I know it's a difficult day and age, but seriously, every day and age has been difficult. And one last note, I am thankful for the food that I have eaten and the service received, from our server, Olivia. read more

We finally came to Jorge's after passing it many times and being curious. Well, it's our new Sunday spot. We LOVE it here. What makes it special? The food is delicious, the ambiance is chill, but above all is the service. People are SO nice here. They make you feel welcomed. They invite you in as if you're a friend. It makes for such a wonderful experience. The birriaquesadilla is on the menu today for us and we're so stoked to try it! Oh, and they have happy hour daily from 3-6! Seriously, come here. It's a great spot, you'll leave full, and above all...happy. Because, when the servers are as kind and upbeat as this, you couldn't possibly leave any other way. Can't wait to come back next week! read more
