I was completely overwhelmed (in the best way!) by all the delicious-looking menu options and had no idea what to order. She was so patient, kind, and genuinely helpful. She recommended the chicken enchiladas with both the green and red sauce so I could try each one and figure out which I liked best. It was the perfect recommendation! I was also surprised by how quickly the food came out, especially since there were a few people ahead of me. When I got my plate, I couldn't believe the portion size--it was HUGE! Every bite was absolutely delicious. Both sauces were amazing, but the green sauce was definitely my favorite. And the margarita? So refreshing and delicious! One of my favorite parts of the experience was chatting with some of the regulars, who told me the owner is the chef and that he, his wife, and their kids have been running this family business for years. I love supporting local, family-owned restaurants, and after hearing their story, it made the experience even more special. Amazing food, generous portions, outstanding customer service, and a welcoming family atmosphere. I already can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu. This place definitely earned a loyal customer!

The plate includes three tacos, and we always get the mango chili sauce. The sauce is rated with "two chili's," so it has some kick, but it won't burn your taste buds (they do have hotter sauces). We've always had great service. They have all been welcoming and friendly. There are plenty of parking spots and other shops to visit. When you order, you can either wait or get a text when your food is ready. Plenty of tables throughout the place are shaded, which is perfect. For me, it's not an issue, but flies and other bugs can buzz around your food (I just shoo them away). We 100% recommend Shaka Tacos.

I'm always on the hunt for great authentic tacos, and I'd been here before with a good experience…read more I loved that it's a family-run, mom-and-pop, honest-to-goodness legit Mexican taqueria -- and that vibe is still there. Unfortunately, not much else lived up to my last visit. The woman behind the counter was not gunning for any friendship or customer service awards. When I asked for extra hot sauce for the 3 tacos I ordered, I was met with a firm "No, only 1!" I clarified -- one per taco, since I bought three. Still "No!" After some negotiating, I talked her into two, but you'd have thought I was asking her to part with a kidney. I asked if they had sodas -- clearly hoping for a Diet Coke. Short answer, and definitely not sweet: "No." She eventually mumbled something about drinks next door. (The lady next door, by the way, was absolutely delightful.) Jalapeños? "No." Chiles toreados? "No." This is simply not the person who should be working front of house. When my order was finally ready, she tried to short me on that hard-won second hot sauce -- you know, the kidney. The food came out hot and fresh, and after that service experience, I was expecting it to be nothing short of amazing. Because really -- how do you treat customers like that if the food isn't blowing people away? Sadly, the hot sauce wasn't hot. At all. And the food overall was pretty good -- not excellent, not amazing, just pretty good. I did enjoy the yellow corn tortillas; soft, warm, and nicely done. The asada was chopped into chunks, which works, and both the asada and birria tacos were topped with onion and cilantro. But here's my honest take, setting the service entirely aside: the Califas taco truck by Home Depot has better food overall. I hate to say it -- I was really hoping to recapture those great tacos from my last visit. It just wasn't meant to be. It can't be that hard to make them like they do in Mexico!

The place is clean enough and we we seated quickly, but that was about the end of what I feel they did well. The wait staff was efficient though not friendly in a manner that we've come to expect of the big island. We asked for a sample taste of the Chili Verde, but were denied. I probably would have ordered the Chili Verde, but I am particular about what I think is great Chili Verde and they seemed afraid to let us try it. I've never had that experience at a restaurant before and should have taken it as a sign to go somewhere else. The rest of our food was OK. It didn't taste bad, but it was bland to unappetizing. Our table had a chili relleno, burrito, tamales, and a taco/enchilada combo. None of us finished our plates because the food was...not great.
