Braised beef bowl with guacamole
Kylie S.

Ordered delivery from here a few weeks ago, I had the braised beef bowl + guacamole. It was good! Also had a side of chips and guac which was yummy. One of my coworkers was missing his Mexican brownie that he ordered and another burrito was completely missing, but this was probably an error on Doordash's behalf.

Steak salad

The parking lot is a little stressful on a pretty busy intersection but there's quite a few stalls. I finally got a chance to stop in to this cute place. The employees were friendly and I was pleasantly surprised I could get a Modelo with my grilled steak salad. It came with lettuce and black beans and salsa. I upgraded and got a scoop of guacamole. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tables inside to eat at and they seemed to have a lot of take out orders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Salad was good but I wasn't too impressed. Maybe ill go and try something else next time.

Saw this place had a happy hour; so I was super excited. Thinking to myself some queso and chips or appetizers and a margarita sounds delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Heard mexican music playing, was getting in the spirit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walked up steps to the next level only to be disappointed, it was just like a chipotle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I thought this originally was more like a legit mexican restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I looked around and decided I didn't want any food; and we'll just get one drink each and then take off. It was kinda expensive still for it being happy hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think we were some of the oldest people here; seems like more of a hangout for teens or families.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Steak bowl with only 1 scoop of rice and lettuce added - yum. Good serving for $14.

I'm not sure why this place has poor reviews - maybe it depends on the day. Our server was nice, food was fast and tasty, and the prices were not unreasonable for Honolulu Mexican - I've certainly paid more here for less good food and smaller portions. The steak (nice char), carnitas (more like kalua pork but still tasty), and fish (grilled nicely, not like some of the other posts) were all actually better than I expected to be honest. There are two rice choices and two bean choices and although simple, I appreciate that they weren't over salted - flavor comes from the protein and ample choice of freshly made salsas. Total was $84 post tip for 4 meals (plus 1 churros) but we're full and this is just what it costs for a lunch out these days. Honolulu is pretty underwhelming for Mexican and this may be the best I've found. I would skip the churros next time though as they were overfried and greasy.

I got the grilled steak bowl as I'm not a fan of tortilla wraps. The bowl was pretty huge and had a good assortment of ingredients. I got the Spanish rice with black beans and grilled steak. It was topped with lettuce and sour cream. I added a side of guacamole. Everything tasted great together. The bowl was full of different flavors. The steak was seasoned with chipotle. There was a lot of gristle in the steak however. They do state that they use free-range grass fed beef. I washed it down with a pineapple Jarritos drink. Those sodas are so good and very carbonated.

Today I have tried the chicken burrito and the food was so fresh and healthy. The ingredients were fresh and I felt really good after eating and it was very tasty. The service was great, they were so helpful and friendly.

Steak/braised beef bowl + combo
Charity L.

25% off Kamaaina Thursdays! Called to see if they still offer their 25% off Thursdays. A very friendly worker answered to inform me they offer it for walk ins only. Decided to make my way over for lunch. Initially I saw some poor reviews and thought that some might be mixed up with their Waikiki location. The service at their Kaimuki location is quite friendly and efficient. The food is decent. I ordered the bowl with half steak half braised beef. Added guacamole and an extra salsa, along with a combo of chips, salsa, and can juice($4). The braised beef has more flavor than the steak, steak was dry and tasted overly smoky. Their medium salsa isn't very spicy at all, I'd probably get spicy next time. It was about $17 with the 25% off. The bowl was huge especially with the additional chips. There is parking available but the lot is quite small and can fill up fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are tables available to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

They advertise a Texas sized burrito, yet one of the ladies making it consistently make it a Taco Bell sized one. False advertisement.

Food was nondescript. Service was unhelpful. $36 for 2, so not inexpensive. Absolutely blah. Will not be back.

Finding authentic Mexican food in Hawaii has been tough. My bf is from the mainland, so nothing on…read moreisland really impressed him. We saw a line at Sabrozon so we wanted to see what the hype was about. We got the carne asada plate and the nachos. There were benches by the food truck, but we opted to take the food home to eat. We spent about $50 for two plates. The portions were huge. We dug into the food. The guacamole was proportional. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I could only finish half of my plate. We ended up saving our leftovers for another meal. I wanted to eat more in one sitting but I was so full. The bf was satisfied to finally try an authentic Mexican spot in town.

The burrito - served with a red and green sauce - was a classic in taste and serving size. The elote in a cup was disappointing...it tasted like canned corn. My order was ready when I reached their food truck ... a few minutes after their stated pickup time. Open daily - closed on Sundays - from 1100a to 800p. Metered parking stalls are available on Cooke and other side streets. They have a small outdoor patio for dining.

My personal favorite is the jalapeño margarita made with infused tequila. It's spicy and savory and totally hits the spot. The food is also great. The chips are super crispy so you don't have to worry about breaking them when you dip a big scoop of salsa or guacamole. The service is friendly, professional and efficient. The enchilada plate was not a traditional type enchilada , but it was extremely good. It's light, flavorful and the perfect portion to fill you up. I always leave satisfied. Highly recommend for a night out with a partner or friends. As the name states , the margaritas are the real highlight here!

Waitress was super sweet, but her manager couldn't honor the happy hour pricing, because they took the order at 6:03, although we were sat down ready to order..not our fault you didn't come to take our order.. Price: 2 birria tacos for $17 I get everything is expensive here but this is straight up asinine. Not for this sad looking plate with a dried wedge of lime. Is that supposed to do anything at this point This tells me management is profit maxing without doing anything else to make this into a remotely decent restaurant. Reminder to look into restaurants before going! We saw outdoor area and wanted to grab some margs and left with a bill we thought was the biggest waste of our money so far in 2026. Not to mention their roof leaks so you're not even safe from rain! I highly recommend Taco Bell or any local food trucks! ‍ gd I haven't felt scammed like this in a hot minute.
