I ordered the carnitas tacos, grabbed my food, and headed next door for a drink. The moment I picked up the taco, I knew something was different. The aroma, the heat, and the juices dripping from it told me I was in for a treat. After the first bite, it was game over--the taco never made it back to the plate. My only mission was to finish it. That's why there are no pictures. I actually went back inside just to compliment the chef. This is the closest thing to Taco El Gordo I've found on Oʻahu, and I'll absolutely be back for more.

They use local ingredients (read their bio!) and they make you feel like you're a regular every time you walk through the door. They have a great variety of burrito, taco, and bowl (salad) fillings (and other stuff too). AND a full bar to get that margarita or Modelo! There's a parking lot behind the building and a door back there to scoot in through the bar. The place is usually pretty busy, always a little line to order, but they're fast and ready to roll as soon as it's your turn. Definitely try these guys out if you haven't already. If you like Jalapenos or Panilos (or Chipotle on mainland) you're going to LOVE this place! SUPPORT LOCAL!!!

Base, regular size is $10.5 Add meat (super dry, but plenty) - 2.50 Free basics - lettuce, onion, lime squeeze, jalapeño, etc. $1 - $2.50 for things from sour cream to mango salsa. Definitely felt like the guy skimped me BUT it was a decent size meal. I probably would have felt better spending $10-12 for it because it was filling. For a $15 burrito, I want leftovers.

The street parking is limited; so, I was pleasantly surprised that there was a LOT of parking behind the restaurant. There were sparrows and pigeons patrolling the outside seating area, which is common for Kailua. It was entertaining watching them and did not put off our experience. We both ordered the calamari with fries and coleslaw. I usually don't order calamari; so, take this with a grain of salt--best ever calamari! Lol. It was seasoned perfectly and it was so tender. When we I usually eat calamari, it is rubbery. Only ika on sushi is usually this tender and moist in my very limited experience. Excellent! The staff was friendly too.

Enter Chili Relleno onto my radar as I hunt for something close to the enchilada plate I am longing for (RIL Azteca). I believe it was a word of mouth mention followed by a review search that enticed me to drive outside my easy east Honolulu bubble into the moody, misty mountains of Kaneohe. Restaurant is right across the Valley of the Temples making it perfect place to lunch if you're ever headed there. This place checks of a bunch of my boxes. First off, complimentary chips and salsa. As every Mexican restaurant SHOULD. I'm exhausted with bougie Mexican spots. I want home style. I want comfort. Second, BYOB. Nuff said. If you add homey comfort with BYOB you are almost a home run as long as... The food is good. And it is. Rice and beans with mix and match enchiladas or multiple burritos, tacos, carnitas, fajitas, chimichangas... you name it, to choose from. Ambience is thumbs up with bright festive decor and our server, Saylor, was a pleasant balance of attentiveness, efficiency, and fun. As I said, a standard, decent enchiladas plates is not the easiest meal to come by on Oahu, and it just happens to be my number one comfort food. I've dined here going on four times, which means this restaurant alone has brought me to Kaneohe more than anything in my middle aged life has ever done. It gets busy for lunch sometimes but the service and food is always pretty efficient. Might be my favorite Mexican restaurant at present on the island.

But seriously, you can end whatever decision making process you have at this moment. They have it all at KP Market (I'm not sure if anyone calls it this, but I do now). Sandwiches, burgers, poke, bowls of various types, coffee, all kinds of bevs. Anything that you could desire to keep you sustained during a day of sun burns and big waves. I can't recall the names of the bowls that we got, but they were exactly what we were looking for. Incredibly generous portions at reasonable prices, and the highest quality of ingredients. I'm pretty sure they gave me an entire fish, and I ate the whole thing. The garlic shrimp that fantastic, and smothered in that buttery-garlic goodness. The star of the show were the accompaniments that brought the whole bowls together. The ube was flavorful and added a great texture. The kimchi was a nice add too, giving these dishes a bite to balance things out. And the sauces were nice, but not overpowering. I'm pretty sure there are a few KP markets around, and you should stop here before whatever adventure awaits for you in Hawaii. I even bought a shirt because this place was so dope.

Welcome to Kailua-Oahu Taco Bell. Home of the world's smallest and tightest drive thru. JK, but may not be that far off. If you have a large vehicle you should probably park and go inside. Not easy to get to either, unless you're headed towards Kailua town. There's a reason Oneawa has the nickname "One Awa (Hour). Regardless, the employees are generally polite and fast, but avoid going at peak times. JMO read more

The food was good it's just the service was pure bull. The cashier was giving ugly looks and the manager was raising his voice at me. All I wanted was a watermelon freeze and the machine wasn't working. So I just wanted a refund but they had to go and make it so difficult and almost fought me. Therefore I'm not coming to this Taco Bell location EVER AGAIN. read more
