    The sign says authentic , I would beg to differ I asked if the Carne asada burrito had rice and beans in it, because the menu just said meat, pico and guac salsa and they said no. Seriously? That's basically just a big taco! We got the fish taco and carne asada taco, and it was lack luster.

    $19 nachos

    If you live on Kauai you probably have eaten here quite a bit. It's not the best but not the worst. I usually play it safe and get a bean and rice burrito which is decent although it usually has tons of rice and not a lot of beans. Yesterday after a long day at the beach, we stopped at paco taco in Kilauea, I got the nachos for my daughter and her friend to share. I was shocked that they were $19! I mean, I get it, Kauai is expensive but for $19 I expected them to be really good with lots of toppings. They were terrible. Very disappointing...definitely don't get the over priced nachos here!! If you want a good fish burrito go to Kilauea fish market, or check out healthy hut for their hot food and salad bar. And if looking for good street tacos head to Kapaa for little fatties they never disappoint. Just my opinion

    Taco place

    Burned meat !! Literally charcoal was served to us on Al Pastor torta and when we tried to tell the lady who is in the billing she was laughing at us as he heard a joke !! They didn't take care of it !! We paid $ 16.31 for eating Charcoal!! Stay away from this place if you have any other food options!!

    Price of paradise.

    Paco's is charging $22 for enchiladas and other plates. That's just crazy. Beans and rice is an arm and a leg. No beans tonight. Would have hope that it would be replaced by extra rice or chips (as I requested). But no, small plate a food for almost $23. Paco's used to be the affordable place for locals.

    Soft shell crab taco

    After reading many reviews of the food here, I finally decided to try it out. The tacos are okay, but pretty pricey for what it is. We ordered the carne asada tacos, soft shell crab and ceviche. The ceviche was just a mix of tomatoes and small pieces of fish. It was refreshing but lacking some flavour. The carne asada was good but the steak was alittle over cooked in my opinion. We enjoyed the soft shell crab tacos but noticed that it's just a small piece you get. Had it been bigger, it would of been better and definitely worth the price.

    The Musubi Truck is a must visit for anyone visiting Kauaʻi. There are a few parking stalls in…read morefront with street parking nearby, plus covered picnic tables with misting fans that make waiting in the summer heat a bit more comfortable. There's even a small merch booth to browse while your food is being made. We waited about 20 minutes, but the staff were incredibly friendly, and it was well worth it. I ordered the Lifeguard Bento, which comes with the OG fried Spam musubi, truffle tater tots, choice of poke (I got spicy mayo), and rice for $20. The fried Spam musubi was so good that I'm not sure I can eat musubi any other way now. I also thought the truffle tater tots were an odd choice to offer at first, but they ended up being some of the best tots I've ever had, and the portion was generous. The spicy mayo poke was fresh and flavorful, making the whole plate a pretty solid value. This is one spot I'll definitely be coming back to every time I come back.

That's all I have to say, just heavenly. - Truffle tater tots: worth getting if you need a filler side to eat, but not necessary like the other two items. - Soicy mayo poke bowl: A. M. A. Z. I. N. G. Wow literally so good and so worth getting! Staff is friendly and trying to work hard but wow the literal longest wait ever. It's a cute spot to wait in, but we were waiting for like 40 minutes for our food. It's a little hard to find since it looks like it's in a residential area but keep looking until you find this gem!

    Local Style poke - a bit salty but still got 4.5 stars. Dragonfruit slushee - I thought the flavor syrup they used was way too sweet.
