    Is this a taco? It was at Killer Tacos
    Mike Z.

    I wanted a little bite while I was in Kona waiting for my partner fly in. I was really early so I happened upon this place. Parking is limited but I found a spot on the far end of the lot. The interior is very unassuming and sparse. Honestly, it doesn't matter one way or the other I just wanted to put that out there. I ordered the spicy ground beef soft taco. Oh, and if you want a hardshell taco, that's an extra $.50! That's crazy I added cheese to my taco and that was an extra charge.. Nothing spicy about the ground beef. I think all the good reviews about the food here come from people used to Del taco and Taco Bell. Don't get me wrong on that, however, if you're looking for an authentic Mexican taco skip this place! If you're hungry for some slightly below average Mexican food, You'll be fine here. I thought four dollars is a little expensive for a taco. It doesn't even look like a taco but rather looks like a mini burrito. The Good: Good for a quick bite. Nothing else to write home about. The Bad: parking can be challenging. No atmosphere. Chances I'll be back: probably not. Not for any particular reason other there are much better places out there for Mexican food, even on the Kona side.

    For having Mexican on the island it's pretty good. Mushy rice and garlic overloaded salsa that wasn't spicy enough for my liking. This place reminds of chipotle. Good enough service and clean establishment. I had the fish taco and a burrito to go (saved to eat while waiting for my flight). The burrito held up good and the tortilla'l didn't tear-I appreciate that detail.

    Killer Tacos is our go to place for lunch, and I just discovered I could place an online order. The online order system was weird, and it was going to make me wait 40 minutes to pick up an order of three burritos. I didn't really want to wait, so I just went to the store and waited in line with everyone else and told the worker that I had an online order. She was extremely rude about me picking up my order early and told me that I should call to tell them I'm coming soon. I waited in line with everyone else, which was basically like me ordering in person, so I don't get why she was rude about the order. Aside from the service, the food is always filling and tasty. I got the veggie burrito on the tomato basil wrap. The burrito is so heavy, and almost always lasts me two meals. I'm also very happy that they have the aguas frescas drinks! This is the most refreshing drink out there!

    If you have ever eaten at a taco Del Mar, this is Hawaii's version. Like to a freaking T, even same menu design so maybe it is actually owned by taco Del Mar corporation.. wow the great mysteries of life All in all it's not authentic Mexican but let me explain why KillerTacos deserves 5 stars.... Just like taco Del Mar, they are assembly line based, prepared in front of you and fresh. Very quick service and consistent, quality ingredients. Great on the go alternative to fast food and good option for Mexican food on the island since were seriously lacking. BEST thing about KillerTacos was the staff, every single employee was pleasantly sweet and seemed like they were genuinely happy working there excellent service and smiles ladies thank you! Bottom line - "let them roll you a fatty"

    I was so thankful to find Mexican food in Kona. The Habanero sauce that you can get on a burrito or taco is excellent if you like hot food.

    So I've seen their signs and seen them online, but never made my way over to try them out!! That…read morechanged today! I needed something from Home Depot and they are located right in the parking lot! I ordered 2 asada and one quesabirria tacos. I asked for their hottest hot sauce, which I was told was the red sauce. The order didn't take too long to come out. Again this was an advanced food truck with a remote buzzer to let you know when your food is ready! I guess I'm used to the old school roach coaches where they just yell at you when your order is ready! My overall impression was that the flavors were a little on the bland side, but overall very good. The quesabirria taco was crispy on the outside and with soft melty cheese and moist tender meat on the inside. Adding their not so hot red sauce gave it much more flavor, but it could have used a little more heat in my opinion. Could have also been helped if it came with the consume. My fault, I forgot to order it, but for an extra $3, not sure it would have made that much of a difference. I was very impressed with the little asada tacos. Pretty small, but packed with meat and more flavorful than the quesabirria. Maybe because these came with salsa already applied! That may be the reason. Either way, pretty darn good show for a Hawaiian Mexican experience. I'd do it again. Probably get 3 or 4 asada tacos next time.

    We love this place. Fire food, delicious salsas and guacamole, and excellent customer service…read more Highly recommend

Yes, the service is slow but let's be clear: this isn't "bad service" slow, this is true island time slow. It forces you to slow down, breathe, and actually look around. And trust me, you'll want to look around. The ocean views here are absolutely spectacular (granted, you're in Hawaii so every view is great) To top it all off, they have 48 beers on tap. With a selection that massive and a backdrop that beautiful, there is zero reason to be in a hurry anyway. Grab a pint, soak in the view, and just enjoy the pace.

We came here on a slow night and we ordered a bunch of food, beers, and overall had a great time. We sat right outside so you can hear the beautiful ocean waves crashing. Food : we had burgers and shared different pizzas. Overall the food tasted better than expected and one of the better tastes on the island Beers: Great selection of draft beers including some Kona drafts you can't find in too many places around the island Service : This is where the 2 stars were taken off. Unfortunately, I know this is island time, but taking 1 hour to get our beers and not allowing us to order until we got our beers really negatively impacted the experience. I'm okay with taking our time with dinner, but at least we could have gotten our beers fast. Overall, we expected a 1 hour dinner, but got a 3 hour waiting period for everything instead. If you come on a night that had faster service, this place would definitely be a 5/5.
