Love Cosmic Tacos!!!!…read more Based out of Makaha, Hawaii, this one-stop Taco Truck is all you need to get your Taco fix! They have the best Tacos, Burritos, Nachos, etc. Owned by an Amazing, Hard Working Team of Husband Kris and Wife Erica, they always have the best customer service. Purchased dinner from them this past Thursday 5/1/25 at the "Lei of Literacy" event at the Nanakuli Library. As always, everything on the menu is great! We ordered: the Super Nachos, 4 Quesabirria Taco Plate and the 4 Cosmic Taco Plate. Both plates came with rice, beans, lime and salsa. Took it home and completely decimated them :) So Ono and delicious! Their food truck is always clean and orderly. They put their Heart and Soul into everything that they do! They're on Instagram and Facebook. Please follow them. Would Love everyone near and far to come and Support this Awesome, Family Owned Local Company. Thank you for the ono grinds Cosmic Tacos!

Mekiko Cantina is always one of the restaurants my family and I go to when on the Oahu island of…read moreHawaii. It's one of the main restaurants that a small group of hotels offer, along with a sports bar, Eggs and Things, Monkeypod, and a new poke place that's in the same shopping center with the ABC store. Mekiko Cantina sits in a gorgeous location right in front, with plumeria trees and green all around. They have indoor and outdoor seating, both are fine, but you do get the benefit of AC inside if it's too humid for your liking. Our family ordered and the food came out not too much longer. In the meantime, we got a chip platter and frozen mango alcoholic drinks which were tasty and a good size! The food is basic Mexican food, like tacos and rice and beans. It's all somewhat unseasoned though, meaning you should probably add something yourself. Truthfully, it's not the best Mexican food ever, but they offer a nice view, indoor and outdoor seating, a good atmosphere, and basic food. The service is fine, as we've never had an issue here with much. Additionally, this is one of the few restaurants that accept the meal vouchers that some of the hotels give to their guests to redeem, so if you do use the voucher, expect to pay for tax and tip, typically.

A very welcoming place. The restaurant was not that busy. We ordered a Pina margarita. The ceviche…read morewas not fresh, very bitter, I don't recommend. The Chicken Taco salad tasted like a Taco Bell taco salad. The enchiladas were okay. Overall this was not what I expected for a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant does have a bar and outdoor dining.

I specifically mentioned when booking that I was coming for a birthday dinner, and the restaurant…read morethoughtfully arranged a table with a fantastic view,the scenery certainly lived up to its reputation. As for the dining experience, the service was a bit slow, though the beautiful view somewhat made up for it. However, I was puzzled that despite the restaurant being fully aware it was my birthday (I had noted it in the reservation), there was no special acknowledgment,not even a simple "Happy Birthday." In contrast, I noticed another table nearby celebrating a birthday and receiving the full treatment: singing, a lively atmosphere, and a joyful vibe throughout the restaurant. My table, on the other hand, felt like just an ordinary dinner. So, if you plan to book this restaurant for a special occasion, I suggest reminding them again when you arrive,because clearly, an online note doesn't guarantee anything. The view is great and the service is decent, but the birthday experience seems to be a bit of a gamble. Still, I ended up leaving a 25% tip.

My foodie friends wanted to make sure we stopped here on our food adventure. I always love coming…read morehere because the Mexican food is pretty good! 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.

Arrived a little after 9am on a Saturday, the small parking lot was already full. We managed to find some street parking less than a block away. These guys are located next to Kilani bakery, the outside is painted a bright green so surely you can't miss it. Seat yourself upon entering, water cups and menus provided quickly. Neat artwork on the walls gives you some eye candy while you wait for your meal. Burria loco moco don't disappoint. Eggs were cooked just as I asked, portion is perfect. Birria meat was juicy & plentiful. Our server, Francis was friendly and attentive. She joked back with us as my jokester husband made a few remarks about having to eat rice (he's dieting but never when it comes to Mexican food). Small oversight made on our order was quickly & satisfactorily rectified. They also sell various salsa and dips in their cold case display next to the register. Definitely worth the walk back to our car!!
