Taco Libre is a fantastic Food Truck in Old town Poipu! The owners are husband and wife. They are kind and courteous, and always smile. The Mexican food is awesome with huge helpings and cooked fresh to order. They are always busy so you may have to wait a few minutes. As of now they are open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and Saturday! Best lunch in Poipu!!!! read more

Absolute gem of the food truck! It will take some time to get your food as they only have one or two people taking orders and cooking. But it is well worth the wait! I ordered the vegetarian option and was blown away by the flavor. Also, do not miss the elote! Seating is limited to two small tables. But people vacate as soon as they're done eating and we did not have any problem finding a seat. Highly recommend this place! read more

The BEST Mexican food on Kaua'i, no lies! We got the breakfast burritos at 1pm on a Wednesday. We parked on the dirt next to the skincare clinic--make sure to be past their sign/not inside the clinic's parking lot. Taco Libre is located in a lot with other food trucks, including Aloha Always which has the best açaí bowls. The lady working at the truck was super sweet and friendly, she recommended half al pastor and half carne asada for the burritos, and they did not miss! The tortilla had a beautiful grill on them but still soft, the cheese inside the burrito was ooey gooey and the meat was moist and flavorful with no fatty/chewy bits. The burrito was a great size and served with side of rice and beans. Both their red sauce and green sauces were delicious, I didn't find them spicy but some might. They also had pickled red onions and pickled jalapeños by the sauces and they were a tasty addition to our meal. Plenty of seating available all around the lot, Taco Libre has its own family style seating right next to their truck. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes from this food truck! Don't forget to ring the bell if you liked the food! :D read more

Not much to add that hasn't already been said! Amazing tacos, burritos, and...crucially: sauces; made from scratch! The attention to craft is remarkable especially given that they are located in paradise where everything is probably going to feel amazing anyway! The added bonus is the on-cart scavenger hunt to find all the Mexican wrestlers. It's difficult. I failed. read more

Got the Cali burrito but they ran out of beef and pork, so I went with chicken instead. Waited over 30 minutes in line starting at 5:30 PM. Pro tip: call 15 minutes before they open to skip the line and score free guac. Food took about 10 minutes once ordered. Burrito was tasty but a little too salty for me. Outdoor seating available--nice casual spot to chill. Plus, there are other food trucks nearby if you want to explore more options. read more

One of the most legit spots on Kauai. Food was great and tasted how I expected it to taste - like back home in LA where we have lots of great Mexican food. They do it right here! Located in a little group of food trucks. Go across the way for some awesome shave ice and coffee too. You won't regret it here in Koloa. Guys were friendly and took our order over text. Get it in before 1045am to pickup and save time! read more

Taco Libre - Asada and pork burrito. Toasted nicely with guacamole on the side. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

If you're looking for Mexican food on the island, look no further than this unassuming taco truck. The burrito was excellent with a flour tortilla griddled to perfection and a good mix of rice, beans, cheese, meat, and cabbage. I got a side of guacamole that was super tasty as well. It did not take too long for my food to be ready, and I dined with others near the trucks. I'll absolutely return. read more

Taco Libre - Knockout Burrito with Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

SO glad I stopped by here. I've seen the truck on my past visits to the island, but never tried them out... Until now. Had I known what I was missing, I never would have waited this long! While you wait to order, they have 6 "hidden" wrestling action figures you can look for. We found 4 (I guess we have to go back to find the other 2... darn!). The crew was so friendly and welcoming. Onto the food. Carne asada taco- super flavorful. The shrimp taco was AMAZING. Absolutely delicious. The rice... ooomg... can I have the recipe?! All in all, this will definitely be a repeat when I visit again. Thanks Taco Libre! read more

Taco Libre - Carne Asada Taco & Shrimp Taco with beans and rice. - Mexican Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Da Bomb. We're from LA and know really good Mexican food and this little place serving family recipes ranks with the best we've ever had. Fish or shrimp tacos loaded with ingredients and delicious. Cali, MexiMoco and breakfast burrito all excellent. And the owners are the nicest people with genuine Aloha spirit. There's a reason they were voted #3 food truck in the United States by Yelp. Easily the best Mexican food anywhere on Kauai, not even close. read more

Not only the best Mexican in Kauai, but the best Mexican food in Hawaii! We tried the Cali burrito, Meximoco, Chile relleno and elote corn. All were so delicious and my family loved every dish. Cali burrito was definitely our favorite and might be one of the best burritos I've ever had. I can see why they were awarded #3 food truck in the US from Yelp. The two that were selling in the truck were super cool and friendly. And the truck is set up in such a beautiful spot in Koloa. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. I made sure to ring that bell in the back after that awesome meal. Mahalo Taco Libre! read more

Got the chicken & fish tacos and a (massive!) pork burrito. Great portions for the price and totally delicious. We were both well-stuffed. Took our food to go & ate outside the botanical gardens as we awaited our tour - had a family of 5 stop in their tracks and ask "Where did you get that?! " and heartily thanked us for the advice when we directed them to Taco Libre. Their salsa choices are off the charts as well. Soooooo so good! read more

Great Mexican food, and in Hawaii of all places. We got the Cali burrito. It was great and had both carne asada and al pastor meat. Solid salsas on the side too. Burrito was a bit small, but it was good. I lived in Mexico for a few years and I think any Mexican spot that only has Pepsi and not Coke is a little sus. The truck is in a nice little park with plenty of places to sit. Food came out pretty quick and they opened right when they said they would. read more

If you want to support a business that truly gives back, this is the spot. Not only are the burritos phenomenal, but the owners are deeply involved in Kauai's running scene. It's rare to find such a perfect mix of great food and genuine community spirit! read more

Found Taco Libre on IG a couple weeks before our Kauai trip. I was very impressed with what they stand for and what they don't. Aaleiyah and Christian make a great team and they make great food. Tried the Cali Burrito. It's all about the fries. Next trip I have to try their version the Loco Moco. Can't wait. Check them out. Don't forget to order your drinks NO ICE read more

BOMB a** Food - Delicious salsas - Worth the journey Not much else to say other than go get yourself a taco. I have traveled to several places in Latin/Central America and am always a little bummed when I order Hispanic food in the states because it's never the same. Welp, this is one that is a close contender for the best tacos/burritos I've had in the U.S. So good we came back twice! We came right when they opened so didn't have too long of a wait, between both visits we ordered a shrimp taco, carne asada taco, cali burrito and a seafood burrito. Cali burrito? Best burrito I've ever had, hands down. It has pork and carne asada with crispy French fries inside, plenty of fixings...what a delicious combo. Carne asada tacos hit the jackpot, spiced and cooked to perfection. Shrimp was tasty and the seafood burrito was jam packed with flavor and fillings. The salsas are a must try, they reel in the flavors of the dish and made it an outstanding meal. It's in a cool location just on the outskirts of the little downtown, you're close to a brewery and plenty of other shops. They even had live music onsite! The staff are THE friendliest and go the extra mile to make sure your order is right and the food is top tier. Gotta go - I'm telling ya, it's worth it! read more

Let me start by saying: I am FROM Southern California. I was raised on carne asada and coastline sunsets. I've had a lot of California burritos in my life. The cali burrito at Taco Libre? A divine awakening wrapped in a sun-kissed flour tortilla. The pork and beef are absolutely delicious. The sauce, the flavors, and the cheese all mix together perfectly. The fries are Crispy. Not soggy. NOT. SOGGY. I cried a little when I bit into them. Literal tears. A child walking by asked if I was okay. I would let this food truck name my firstborn. Do yourself a favor. Head over to this roadside gem and discover pure burrrito bliss in paradise. read more

OMG, This place is the bomb!! Best fish taco that I've ever eaten. Hands down. Fresh mahi mahi smothered with all the delicious sauces. I also ordered one of the pork tacos. Very good, especially if you like your food with a little heat. It definitely had some spiciness. But the fish taco was AMAZING. Next time, I'm just going to order two of those. Yes, I'll be back again soon!! read more

The mexi moco was very good! The sauce that covered it and the meat had a lot of flavor! Very large portion! The elote street corn was pretty good, not great and that was what kept it from a 5. The staff was very friendly and the truck was very busy! There is a lot of outdoor seating and there was live music! It was an enjoyable time! read more

Asada tacos, burrito bowl were fantastic! Coming from a Cali resident it's legit. Service was great. My only complaint would be the elote was $14 and was only a Dixie cups worth. Slightly over priced read more

The crew at this Koloa truck dishes up some mean Mexican food. You can tell it's good with one look; doesn't even take a taste to know! But no doubt, the bites are good too. I like the fresh ingredients and authentic style... every time I visit I'm transported back to my Mexico City trip of 2024 and felt Taco Libre would give that one famous Michelin star taco joint an absolute run for their money. Good people run this truck and when I'm in the area (usually Tuesdays for a trail run along the coast) I love to stop by and fuel up. Haven't even tried the other food trucks in Koloa and at this point, don't want to. read more

YUCK!!! BLAH!!!! Never again will I eat here. There was a huge long black hair in my burrito. I am completely repulsed. They have no cleanliness whatsoever. I got a hair in my burrito after waiting 30 minutes for my order. Also, don't believe these yelp reviews. They incentivize good reviews by offering free guacamole/a drink. Stay away!!!! read more

Taco Libre - Read the sign... yelp review = free guac / drink. FAKE REVIEWS!!! - Mexican Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Had the Knockout Burrito with shrimp and a side of rice and beans and some Ofcourse a Mexican Coke. So filling and got to sit under the shade of a gorgeous tree. They're always nice and friendly and serving up something delicious. read more

I read another review stating that there are so many 5 star reviews because they give free items if you leave a review. I was never told that or given anything for my high review. I came here two years ago and loved it, so hopefully the quality is still there but I noticed a few low reviews just recently. Maybe the quality has gone down or they had a few bad days. We will check it out again and leave an updated review about my experience. read more

I was drawn to this place because of the high reviews but was left quite disappointed with my dining experience at this food truck. After spending time perusing the menu and waiting in line for 20 minutes, I was disheartened to learn that they only offered tacos and quesadillas for the day, with no meat choices available (fish, shrimp, or seafood). After the wait, we caved in, ordered, and waited for another 20 mins for the food. Moreover, the pricing for these two options wasn't transparent until I reached the counter, and each order ended up costing $36 for 3x tacos or 3x quesadillas - $18 per order. To put it into perspective, $6 per regular sized taco is comparable to what one might pay at a restaurant, or even more expensive.That said, It would have been fine if the food was really good but it was average to below average (part of the quesadillas and the meat inside were burnt - see photo). I personally don't believe it was worth the time or the money. It just wasn't that special! read more

Really good tacos. You can tell they are good with the massive line! They were short-staffed the night we went- so it made for a longer wait. The carne asada tacos were worth it though. We also had some fish and shrimp tacos, but the carne asada was the best flavor. read more

Came all the way from Cali! Came here in Feb 2023 Now here in November 2023 And I had one mission to get me another carne asada burrito! BOMB.com Mind you cali has a Mexican restaurant on every corner almost, along with Starbucks lol and this one specifically made a great impression!! this taco truck knows what's up with a classic burrito! Asada is marinated to perfection, very flavorful and juicayyyyy. Also staff is also so nice! I honestly feel like family when I come here! Nothing like having a burrito on a nice day surrounded by nature and greenery!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 5 stars!!!!!!!!!! read more

Overall great place to eat other than the elote. Do not get the elote it's not on the cob and not very good. Everything else was great tasting. The tacos were a little small and not very filling but tasted great. The Mexi-Loco was great and both burritos were got were very tasty. There salsa were amazing. A bit pricey but good. read more

Amazing food! Highly recommend. We tried a little bit of everything. Some of the best food on the island. You won't be disappointed. Friendly service. Fresh ingredients. read more

A+ burritos 10's across the board Wrapped impeccably! You won't loose a morsel. Ratio of fillings? Perfection! No soggy bottoms, no overwhelming rice. Meat? Surprisingly tender and seasoned given that it's in a humble burrito. Salsas on the side? Addicting! I've seen patrons knock back the salsa cups like shots. Best burritos outside of SoCal! read more

1st Place - 2022 Kauai Fish Taco Throwdown Hands down, without a doubt, the best of the 9 fish tacos we ate on Kauai. The fish was great and a decent portion but what sets this taco above the others is the flavor and overall attention to details. The double corn tortillas were perfectly executed and the salsa verde made this fish taco by the best by far. Yep, the Taco Libre food cart rules the Kauai fish taco universe. How about that and only $5/taco. Add in the the nice staff, easy parking and nice park with chicken repelling spray bottles... what more could you want? Uhhh maybe cerveza and some canopies over the picnic tables because it DOES rain on Kauai. Don't miss this one. It's right across from the Sueoka Market in Koloa. Highly recommended. BTW their carne asada fries are also awesome. read more
