    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    #20 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week) I was on the Big Island for work and traveling from PTA to Volcano and needed to stop for some lunch. I hopped on Yelp and found this place had great reviews so I decided this was the spot. Yelp you did not let me down! This food truck is not far from Ola Brewing and it has a good amount of parking. It was a rainy day so I appreciated the tables being under a tent so I didn't have to eat in my car. I settled on the Birria Tacos. I've been on a birria taco kick lately and if I end up at restaurant where they have them then I'm giving them a try. I think the taco's were around $18 and came with rice and beans. I only waited about 10 minutes for my food which was reasonable. Especially at lunch time. You can tell this place is popular because there were a good amount of people there and lots getting take out. The taco's were hot so I started with the rice and beans. I really enjoyed the rice and the beans a lot. They had a lot of flavor and I liked how the rice was not clumpy at all. The birria tacos were delicious and the consomme was delicious. My only complaint is some of the meat was in large chunks and when I bit into it it came out in large pieces so sometimes one bite took out a lot of the meat. It would have been better if it was a bit more shredded. None of that would keep me away though. Next time I'm on the Big Island I now have a go to spot in Hilo!

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 showed up right when they opened at 5:30 p.m. without reservations on a Wednesday evening and was luckily able to get seated at the bar. Between the two of us, we ordered a bunch of items off the "small" section of the menu, including the smokey sashimi, sizzling tetsuyaki poke, smoked tonnato caesar, crispy rice, and their special of the day -- agedashi wontons. Of the items we ordered, the crispy rice and the agedashi wontons were my favorite items. The crispy rice is priced per piece, and you'll certainly want to order at least two per person, because one is simply not enough. The rice block is fried a beautiful golden brown -- similar to a hash brown. The crispy rice pairs perfectly with the ono mixture on top of it. With the agedashi wontons, I initially thought the filling was a bit under-seasoned at first, but when enjoyed with the broth, the wonton comes out tasting perfectly seasoned. The broth had so much umami to it and the wonton had the perfect crunch to it I always love a good Caesar salad and the one here is spectacular. With anchovy croutons, shaved cured egg yolk, and smoked ahi dressing, you're getting some creative, premium ingredients in this salad and everything works so well together. Even if you're not a salad person, I would definitely recommend giving this dish a try. On top of delicious food, the service at Moon & Turtle was spectacular. Food was promptly brought out after we placed our order, pacing didn't ever feel rushed, our water cups were never empty, and our server checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. I would definitely stop by Moon & Turtle again if I'm in Hilo.

We almost thought we had received two orders because of how well-plated they were. - Poke tower (8/10): Solid choice for an appetizer! There were ample portions of poke, and the flavors were nice. Not a super stand out dish though. - Hilo local plate (9.5/10): If you want to taste a wide range of Hawaiian cuisine in one dish, I would highly recommend getting this one! The Kalbi ribs were sooo good! They were juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The Kalua pork was pretty good, and both meats paired well with the rice which had an interesting savory haupia sauce drizzled on it. The mango chili slaw and pineapple salsa added a nice tang to balance everything out. - Triple lilikoi pie (5/10): Wayyy too sweet and sugary for our liking, and you can barely taste the lilikoi flavor. We ended up just picking at the graham cracker crust and couldn't finish the rest. It seemed like one of those desserts that are premade unfortunately, and we wish we hadn't ordered this dessert.
