Aloha! Da Crack Mexican Grinds is a popular, casual, walk-up window spot in Poipu, Hawaii, known…read morefor its flavorful, customizable Mexican food with a Hawaiian twist. The vibe here is casual, trendy, and often busy with long lines and loud music! This spot is known for their burritos, burrito bowls, and tacos (especially shrimp tacos). As for me, the real highlight were the kajiki tacos (that's blue marlin)- freshly grilled and topped with pico de gallo and cheese with rice and beans. The kajiki had a very mild, yet subtle sweet, citrus taste. And the grilled marks were perfect! Highly recommend 10/10! Overall, service was great! The staff were quick, efficient and very friendly! The pricing is reasonable and affordable. We will definitely be back for more!

I came here based on a recommendation from our shuttle driver at the Kona airport, and…read moreunfortunately it was a miss this visit. I ordered the chicken burrito and my fiancé ordered the burrito bowl with fish. The bowl was served in one of those tiny Dixie paper bowls..for $17! He ate it all and was still hungry. My burrito had way more food than his bowl. Unfortunately their Mexican rice is really not it...the grains of rice are huge and flavorless. The only thing that saved my burrito was the shredded chicken. It was moist and flavorful, and they didn't skimp on the amount they put in the burrito which I truly appreciate since taking any bite without the meat was super bland. No seating available, this is all to go style. Parking is easy since there's a parking lot right in front. It's easy to locate and is situated next to a small grocery store. I recommend you go grab some banana bread from the grocery store for dessert, you won't regret it. All in all, I think there is better Mexican food on Kaua'i for the same price or less.

We were seated directly under a industrial fan used for the heat, but it was like 59 degrees so we asked if it could be turned off. We were told they can only turn it off it they turn off all the lights. So we asked if we could be moved to another table out of the way of the fan and were told no, this was the only table available. We sat down and the server immediately came over and asked for our drink order. We asked for a drink menu, so she brought one for five people. Then she stood at the bar staring at us until we decided. The drinks were delivered quickly and we're actually good. Next came the food order. Four menus for five people. Order placed for one taco salad, twelve street tacos, all chicken or steak, and one burrito. We asked if we could have chips and salsa, guacamole, and queso dip. One bowl of chips for five people, which we paid for two refills. Salsa was canned, guacamole was not fresh, and queso was bland. Taco salad was OK. Street tacos weren't what we expected and didn't have limes. They tasted ok and the meat was fresh. Burrito was messed up and they tried to lie and say that's how burritos are served and the green sauce was chilis. We found out it was cooked and served with ground pork. This was not advertised. Overall, they seemed bothered by us and we're talking about us in Spanish to each other. One of our party was fluent in Spanish. When we left, there were three people there with badges looking at some paperwork from the bar, which was very suspicious.

The grill also provides pool service for food and drinks, which elevates the whole experience when you're using the pool. I swear this is a hidden gem in Poipu, where prices at most restaurants are through the roof for mediocre food and service. Our favorite dish on the menu here is the seared ahi tacos, and the kids love their teriyaki chicken and rice bowls--it is so nice to finally see something besides chicken tenders or fries on a kid's menu! Service is quick and friendly, and the vibes are chill with popular Hawaiian music playing throughout the bar. It has a laid-back atmosphere and is the perfect spot to unwind. Looking forward to going back here when we are back in Kaui

The restaurant had a relaxing vide. The TVs had ocean scenery and surfing, pop music playing in the background.

They use 100% Kauai grass feed beef and provide a generous sized burger. We ordered our burgers cooked medium and medium rare, and the burgers were both cooked correctly. Furthermore the burgers were both juicy and flavorful. Yum! Looking forward to returning. Highly recommended!

Hands down, top 3 food places we enjoyed while vacationing in Kauai…read more Located in Koloa on the 2nd floor, is a very un-assuming breakfast joint offering Ono eats, and a decor you did not expect when walking through town. Inside is very modern and chic, with terracotta tables neutral colors of black and gold, and perfectly matching pendant lighting. We won't let the service get in the way of this review, because everyone is bound to have a bad day that unfortunately spills into your work life. I heard another table complain about our server, and it only confirmed that when they took our order, they were very short and dismissive... like we were doing them a disservice. I know that's not the norm, and we wont let that get in the way of an amazing meal. The food was amazing. Almost everything we got was top notch. If it sounds good on the menu? Get it. In particular the pork belly bowl. I would honestly get it Tinono style, because the sauce options are just drizzled on top. Or possibly ask for the sauce on the side. Everything else was very, very good, with exception to the Bibimbap Kalbi bow. Tasted way too average to warrant the price tag. This is one I would skip next time. Cocktails were delicious including the Bloody and the Lilikoi Marg. This is another one of those, must-stop-in places in Koloa!!

Request a table near the windows for a sunset view. We arrived and were greeted and seated immediately. Shortly afterwards we were served complementary spicy edamame. We ordered three appetizers to share. Brussel Sprouts & Cauliflower, Black Garlic & Yuzu Ahi Tartar and Vietnamese Style Sashimi. The Brussel Sprouts & Cauliflower was excellent, golden raisins and pine nuts add sweetness and texture, balsamic vinegar counters with wonderful acid contrast. The Black Garlic & Yuzu Ahi Tartar is simply fabulous, one of the best bites I have ever had. I first had this dish two years ago when it was introduced as a new dish in a prefix meal. On that trip we returned to enjoy the dish once again. Had it again last year as I travel to Kauai each year. I'm happy to see it is still on the menu! Our third dish was the Vietnamese Style Sashimi and it was okay, although a bit underwhelming for Eating House standards. It was fresh but lack the complexity that I have grown to expect from this restaurant. We requested some wasabi and it helped with the flavors. My thinking is the jalapeño oil should have been more concentrated or pronounced. To be clear I did not complain, regardless the dish was removed from our bill. Very nice. Thank you. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The view at sunset was amazing. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommended!

The front desk staff guided me to the elevator. This trip was for my birthday. In every reservation when asked about a special occasion, I put birthday. This was the first restaurant to acknowledge my special day. The check-in staff wished me well as did the server. We had been to several restaurants prior to Eating House that didn't say a word. Kudos to the staff for its kindness. The restaurant is open air and very comfortable. It has a rustic feel. We were seated by the window on a cool, rainy night but were perfectly dry the whole evening. On top of that, our server was very helpful in guiding us to order the right amount of food. He brought us a serving of edamame which is always on the house. The shrimp & pork potstickers were very good. I had the ramen which was tasty, filling and a great choice. Our server was terrific to put the spicy oil on the side which made it easier for me to eat. My husband had the butterfish which is the best I have ever tasted. It is a signature dish and always a pleaser. The only real downside is the limited menu. We were told that because of a staff shortage, it wasn't the typical menu. This was disappointing. But they did have the best of the Roy's dishes. So far, it has been the best experience that we have had in Poipu.
