    Tres Tacos (carne), fish taco
    Ariel C.

    Good food truck! The parking was a bit tough because the rain flooded the parking lot but we were able to just park outside on the street. There is a tent with lots of picnic tables to eat at. The prices are decent and we got our food quickly. Carne tacos were good! A little bit of a spicy kick which was nice and cooked nicely. The rice was good too. The fish taco was good, a little bigger than the others, but the fish could be a little softer-- it was a little overcooked. Otherwise a solid food truck and good casual food option!

    Forgot to include a picture of the elote and California burrito but it was fireee. The fries inside were seasoned and perfectly crispy, although I recommend eating it as soon as you get it versus waiting like we did because the tortilla got soggy from all the filling. Either way, flavor was still there and that's all that matters. The elote was top tier, I love that it's an actual cob and not one of those elote cups, those just aren't the same vibe. For tacos, we got carnitas and carne asada; both were flavored well but my only gripe is that the carne asade was basically minced beef vs chopped steak. Would go again but bring your mosquito spray!

    Tacos & hot sauce

    Went to Tacos Jalisco on Kekuanaoa St, Hilo for their 2 for $5.50 tacos as advertised on the street & parking lot banners. I asked for the $5.50 tacos and was informed that they were $5.75 as he pointed to their menu on my left. I pointed to their banner on my right as it indicated 2 for $5.50. He said that was an old banner which in my view looked pretty new to me. Not to argue over 2 orders of .50c more, I placed the order. I was then asked if they could place the four tacos inside one plate and I said sure. When I received my order, I asked if there was hot sauce. I was told that it was inside the plate and if I wanted more it would be .50 cents. So, upon checking what I received, I lifted the little container to eye level & saw that it was a tablespoon of hot sauce. NO WAY was I going to pay .50 cents more for that amount of hot sauce. After leaving it occurred to me why he asked if they could place all four tacos inside one plate. So that they would not be obligated to provide more of those little containers of sauce. Their entire scheme was to hopefully get me to purchase more hot sauce and to pay more $ for food then what was advertised. Lastly, the tacos had more onions than meat. I must have received the onion tacos by mistake. Never again will I go near that place!

    This was traumatizing.... Ordered carne asada tacos and they gave me this and the rice tasted like minute rice... I think Taco Bell is more Mexican than this. Worker was nice though. It just didn't taste or look like carne asada at all, it tasted like ground beef with some taco seasoning.

    Food was great, tasted like a true Cali taco truck burrito. Ordered the Cali burrito with asada. Salsa complimented the burrito. Truly my first satisfied taste of a great burrito since moving to Hawaii. Definitely going back. Service good. Nice tables and condiment table, very clean.

    The food was incredible! Everything we ate was so delicious. As a Texan, was thrilled to find delicious tacos in Hawaii!

    This food truck is by far the best fish tacos on the island. You have to try the 2 for $5 carnitas tacos, some of the best tacos I've ever had!!!

    Jubilee response to my review

    So I gave an honest review about this food truck and the lady serving my husband food, who was super rude, her name is Jubilee. Doesn't live up to her name. She responded to my review by calling my husband a perv and laughing. If this were my employee she'd be fired. Maybe it's the owner. Who knows but Taco Bell tastes way better and costs way less. Don't bother with this place. The most disgusting refried beans I've ever had. If you click on the gray box you will see Jubilee's response to my review: your husband was a perv lol

    If you're in Hilo and craving some Mexican cuisine, Tacos Jalisco can definitely satisfy that craving! Ample amount of parking and tables in their lot. We got there about an hour after they opened and the area was vibing with music from their speaker. Service was quick and friendly. My first time trying Flautas and I got their Carnitas Flautas. The plate came with 4 pieces of flautas, refried beans and Mexican rice. I wasn't expecting it to come with the sides since it wasn't listed on the menu so that was definitely a pleasant surprise and made this place a great affordable spot. The carnitas flautas was fried with a nice crisp, the carnitas meat had a nice flavor and the drizzle of guacamole and sour cream paired everything perfectly. My boyfriend got their carne asada tacos and it was alright, a little on the dry side though. So the star of the meal was definitely the flautas and I would visit them again just for that.

    The regular carnitas burrito. Still big.

    I'm reviewing the new PunaKai shopping mall location in Pahoa. Although a good location and inside seating, local traffic is minimal unless there's an event happening. Same selection as their Hilo location. And they do have birria. The pricing seems a bit higher which is understandable (lease). I ordered the regular burrito w/carnitas and Flautas w/rice & beans total: $28. Tonight's wait time was decent (5-7 mins) as the previous time was unreal! for just 2tacos waited over 10imin. and the tortillas were hard and chewy. I do wish them luck! Once Ikaika Marzo's Western Bar opens their business should pick up also. We appreciate a new eatery in Puna . Luckily we still have Panchos and SiSi's.

Hands down, the quesabirria tacos and flautas are as good as they come--absolutely amazing. We happened upon this place on Yelp, and I was a little skeptical, but after the first bite, I felt transported back to Mexico. My entire family agreed that these are the best quesabirria tacos we have had outside of Mexico, and possibly even in Mexico. The flavors were amazing, and the consommé was absolutely delicious. We are regulars on the Big Island and normally do not eat Mexican food because we have never found a good spot, with the exception of Shaka Tacos. This place was really busy, and there was only one person working. She was doing it all--taking orders, collecting money, and making all the delicious food. She was never rude and was so pleasant. She said the cooks had called in and she was the only one there. Talk about dedication! She made sure everyone got their food, and it was made perfectly. I cannot commend her enough for all the work she did and for putting out an outstanding order of food. She is a real gem and should be treated as such! It is so hard to find good employees today, and her dedication and attitude inspired me. I wish we had gotten her name, but she said she is always there. If the food takes longer than you like, just be patient, because you are in for a treat when it comes out. Good food takes time, and the food is definitely worth the wait. We will definitely be coming back every time we are here. This place is a real gem. If I could give it more stars, I would. I hope everyone reading this takes my advice and goes to this wonderful place for the delicious food and the warm people.

We ordered the risotto, fresh catch (marlin), crispy rice, gnocchi, and finished off with the mac nut ganache mascarpone pots de crème. We did share a Lemon peel lemonade cocktail. The Lemon peel lemonade was basically spiked lemonade. Well balanced for being a tart oriented drink, but I didn't care for the floating bits. The risotto which comes in full and half order, was very rich and had chunks of mushrooms for flavor. We're glad we got the half as this was a heavy, rich, and cheesy entrée on its own. If you love risotto, you will love this dish. The marlin was perfectly cooked and balanced out with a locally inspired vegetable succotash. Fried bits of kalo were also added in for added texture. The special and new item, the gnocchi was the star of the show. This is by far the fluffiest gnocchi we've ever had. Crispy on the outside, little potato clouds of fluff on the inside. The gnocchi came over a tasty sauce with bits of fried onion for absolute perfection. The crisp rice was recommended by Yelpers and it was alright, crispy rice with a spoon of poke. Not bad, but did not live up to the hype. Get another order of the gnocchi instead. It's fairly rare to see pots de crème on restaurant menus, specials or not, so we had to get this. It came in a cute little glass jar, with rich chocolate and mascarpone flavor with a hint of mac nut. This desert was an absolutely delicious perfect end to the meal. You can make reservations online, street parking is quite limited, and it can get busy as the night goes on, so recommended to get an earlier dinning time. Staffs regularly checked in on us and were polite and efficient.
