Da bomb! Nothing else to say. I eat here all the time when I'm too lazy to cook. Epic seafood tacos. More Jalapenos, yes

This place appears to be a great dive to squat at if you're staying in the area but compared to Paco's Tacos 2 miles down the road, this place is overpriced, charging $6 for one fish taco. The fish was overcooked and there wasn't enough meat in the filling. The corn tortillas though were fantastically fresh and you can tell they were hand made. A bit of a shame though when they make such a killer tortilla but not such a good taco. I would skip this place and hit Paco's down the road or some of the food trucks you will see on Kuhio. read more

I had The Best Fish taco and the Ono fish was really good. Highly recommend you get this one to try if it's your first time here. We had the Spicy marinade taco but it wasn't so good. Friendly customer service. read more

TIki Tacos looks unassuming but don't let that fool you. What the restaurant misses in ambiance and space, it more than makes up for it in the quality, freshness and flavor of the food. Many of the ingredients are organic and locally sourced. A word of caution, when choosing a taco that claims it is spicy because IT IS! The spicy taco combinations are not for the faint of heart. I ordered a spicy shrimp and steak taco and my nose ran profusely during the entire meal! Alas, it did not stop me from eating each and every last bite. Because, It was THAT good. I will say that some reviewers found the cabbage to be excessive, but I appreciated it because it did bring down the heat just a notch. I can not imagine how spicy, spicy would be without it! I thought my shrimp was fresh and cooked to perfection. The same was true for my steak. My steak was tender and I was happy to say that I didn't find any tough, gritty pieces in my entire portion. They clearly use good cuts of meat and it shows. If you don't mind eating fabulous food on picnic tables facing a parking lot, Tiki Tacos, is a must. The food speaks for itself and if it was any closer to where we were staying, we would have surely returned a second time. For those looking for great value and excellent food, Tiki Tacos is worth the drive. And if you like spicy, be sure to pack a few extra tissues in your pocket :). read more

Bomb digity bomb hippie island tacos!!! Homemade tortillas, local grass fed meat and fresh local fish, fucking amazing! They are HUGE, so start with one first. read more

Got a pollo loco and fish taco after 16 hours of traveling to get to Kauai. Some of the best tacos I've had (including some I've had in Austin, TX). The tacos range from $5-$9 but they are almost meals in themselves. The fact that they make the tortillas from scratch is always a good sign. Interestingly, the fish taco is not fried but grilled, which seemed fresher to me. read more

So I love Tiki Tacos! They have this amazing soft corn tortilla that they make there on site that is delicious... I grew up hispanic in New Mexico... I know my tortillas. I had the Carne Asada (Spicy one of course) and the meat was tender with just the right seasonings. I can't wait to go again! read more

Tiki Tacos has LA tacos beat. For real. Best fish taco these travelers have ever tasted. As for the price tag, 1 Tiki taco is the equivalent of at least 4 LA tacos. Also Tiki Tacos can you please put out of mix tape of the dope tracks you're playing?? Mahalo. read more

Long story short, the food is bland. Leaves much to be desired. We will not be coming back.

Way over cooked fish tacos, toppings were good but you can't over cook the fish (super dry and chewy). Would have been one star but I really liked the hot sauce. read more

My husband is vegan and got a veggie taco and I got the fish. We were both full with just one taco - they're quite large. They're accommodating to different diets and customizations. Everything tasted fresh and crisp! read more

Probably the best tacos I've eaten outside of Mexico City or East LA. I tried spicy beef and the ahi tacos. The ahi was good, but the spicy beef with extra habanero sauce is wickedly addictive. Whoever said 2 tacos will fill you up must not eat very much. Each taco is 2-3 bites at most. I think the tacos are a little small for the price, but considering the food is all locally sourced and mostly (if not all) organic I can't complain too much. I don't even need to say any more. Just put down your ipad and go get a taco! read more

I tried a fish and a beef taco. They were delicious. Price $5.00 each they are pretty big so one will fill you. Home made tortillas and fresh salsa. A hole in the wall place, don't let that stop you worth the visit. read more

Being a native Texan, I know what good tacos are. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to Tiki Tacos, but I left feeling hugely satisfied! I had an Ahi taco, which was amazing. The tortillas were also great. Definitely recommended! read more

Seriously delicious tacos. And they're enormous. From $6-$8. Home made corn tortillas, local fish, chicken, beef, and pork. The fish comes in the back door, the owner fillets and cleans it there and then grills it. You need to go here if you like tacos. read more

Pork taco was really good but needed some sort of sauce or tomatoes since I didn't want the spicy verde sauce. I think it might have been lacking grilled onions. The tacos took a bout 20 mins to come out as well with three people behind us getting their orders before us. read more

This is a total hole in the wall. Do not expect any kind of atmosphere with only a few mismatched tables inside and out that are usually filled just plop down were ya can and eat some awesome tacos. Their tacos are $6-$8 each but they are huge, if you are a petite eater one should do ya, two if you have a normal to hearty appetites, if you can eat three well then you are starving my friend. They only serve tacos, just tacos, nothing else but they are darn good tacos. I would eat here again. read more

Fish tacos were delish! Perfect amount of fish and veggies. Drove by a few times and always noticed a bunch of people waiting around so it must be good so we decided to try it. And it was worth it! read more

I loved tiki taco. It was delicious creative food. It was very fresh food and Bard was very friendly and welcoming.

Great place. Homemade soft corn tortillas. Deliciously spicy hot sauce. Chicken for the pollo loco taco was a bit dry, but very well-marinated. Friendly service... and the portions are huge! Two tacos make for a very very filling meal. read more

Food was incredible, once it finally arrived. I don't expect to wait 20 minutes at a taco stand ;-/

This was the first place we went to after arriving. I mean, I understand island time, but it was over an hour before we got our food, and it was good, but over an hour- a little excessive. read more

Finally some decent food on Kauai. I would hardly qualify myself as a taco whisperer but I live in Los Angeles, hail from Texas and lived lots of places in between, plus a dozen or so trips to Mexico so a fan perhaps greater than average. Had 2 kinds of pork tacos, roasted and kalua, now let me preface this by saying that I don't eat pork, not for religious reasons or anything, simply due to I'm too lazy to cook raw meat at home...Anyhow, small attitude from the Mexican soccer jersey-wearing boy who took our order, until I ordered in Spanish. There was a group of homeless gueros, the guys with tanned skin and bleach blonde dreads and a girl wearing no bra all splitting one taco and refilling their water bottles with the water dispenser meant for guests, so that may have been the source of the cashier's discomfort...who knows? we spent two weeks in Kauai and only went here our last day, could have easily gone back several times during our trip but I have come to expect pretty average and overpriced food in Hawaii, although I do know freight charges to Hawaii are real but if you are sourcing produce & proteins locally, I would think the prices could come down. Not that $12 for two tacos is unreasonable as these are much, much larger than street tacos. I think 5 trips in 4 years that this is my first 4 star review for food in the islands! read more

Tiki Tacos - Delicioso! #muchochomba - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

See all

Got the chicken taco. Large portion but kinda pricey. Took a long time to get order though. Overall tasty.

Tacos were big. Service was friendly. My fish was overcooked and the taco was dry. Only had the fish tacos so I don't know about out the rest of the food read more

Great tacos!! Home made tortillas were amazing!! Put some ice in the water cooler and you would have had 5 stars!!

Best tacos I've had since moving to the state of Hawaii two years ago! Reminds me of home.

Omg!!! 1 taco is like a meal, so fresh, so well done . I Loved , price is right , taste was amazing! Hard to finding on a dark night . read more

I went here too many times during my trip! I loved every taco I got. Get the surf and turf!

I live in San Diego, the land of fish tacos, and I still thought they were awesome. Favorite was the shrimp- add the guac, it tastes fresh and delicious! read more

Amazing food! DELICIOUS! My companion asked "is your chicken organic?" and I'm thinking "It's not advertised as such on the menu so it can't be." Wrong! The owner told us they were currently unable to get their chicken locally, but at least the non-local was organic. So it sounds like their preference is local chicken which may or may not be organic, and then, if not available locally, simply organic. You gotta love a place that considers organic so "normal" that they don't even think to advertise it. read more

Hand made tortillas, crazy fresh fish (the ahi was amazing), and the Kahlua pork was also among the best meat I've ever had. Great verde sauce and really fresh/light tasting--it could be that they use a lot of cabbage in the tacos. Portions: Two tacos should fill almost anyone up. One may not be enough unless you're not really hungry. If there are two of you, you could probably get by with one and a half each (split three) and still leave feeling full. Wait Time: Don't go if you're in a huge hurry. Even when the place wasn't packed it took a while to get our three tacos. But when they're making it from scratch (and when you taste it), it's worth the wait. Ambiance: Pretty spartan. Not a ton of ambiance, but I didn't care once the food came. A handful of tables indoors, a few outdoors. Usually a line out the door or inside. Service consists of ordering at the counter, and picking it up yourself, but they're really friendly. Love this place. Will go back whenever I get the chance. It's reasonably priced and amazing food. They're really friendly and helpful, too. read more

Great tacos, many varieties, and fresh ingredients. Well-priced considering the size of the tacos.

Took family here for first time. They are not easy to impress but loved this place. Very good fresh tacos.

Expecting the best fish taco, I was a tad disappointed that it was nothing special. Maybe I should have ordered something else but the "best fish taco" was fairly flavorless. My husband liked his beef taco and pork taco. They were definitely better than the fish. read more

These tacos were great!! I was surprised at first that each taco was about $6 but once I received it I couldn't believe it was only $6. It was huge!! I'm so glad I only ordered one! I got a fish taco and paid an extra $1 for guacamole. I love that the tortilla is made fresh daily in house. It had lots of flavor! The fish inside the taco was great! It was grilled and in smaller pieces so it was evenly distributed. The fresh tortilla, cabbage slaw, guacamole, and fresh fish tasted so fresh! Unlike chain restaurants. It was really good!! Must try!! read more

Tiki Tacos - Huge fish taco, added guacamole for $1. So good!!! Ate the whole thing! - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Loved it! Food - delicious, healthy portions and yes food itself is quite healthy. Anything menu item that says- fire, is super spicy. Tasty too. We typically split 3 tacos between 2 people and it was a complete meal. Service - is long but if the food is healthy, well made, and fresh i honestly don't mind, we are functioning in island time after all :) Ambience - Honestly it looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, skeleton artwork inside, but its clean. Can get crowded fast. A lot of locals here. Strip mall parking is available. Pricing - One of the more reasonably prices places in the island. side note: Ola massage is right next to it and is awesome. read more

it a toss up between a 2 or 3 stars for me because i have great expectation for this place and it didn't deliver the self proclaimed "island "BEST" fish taco" for me. of all the tacos we bought the only one worth telling you about are maybe the loco chicken it the only we enjoy out of the chorizo, fish and shrimp. there are no doubt that these taco are big, but i think they are too big for their own good. there's a lot of cheese and cabbage in the taco wrapped with a giant corn tortillas. i would rather for to Verde for their tacos (get the shrimp and fish on flour tortillas) ooh... if you were gonna calls ahead to order for pick up? don't even bother! it would be faster to go there and order. read more

Okay, so I was a bit hesitant about this place.... and then we went twice in six days and thought about it the other four... so, yeah... Food - had the fish tacos and the tru imu kalua pig tacos... and the lamb. Uhhhh, the Kalua Pig? Just do it. The fish was good, the lamb was really flavorful and tasty, but the pork... holy moly fried piggy goodness. And the homemade corn tortillas... so perfect. The tacos are huge... as in I (who can eat a disgusting amount of food) was fairly stuffed after two... and messy... and so delicious. There is no way to eat these things gracefully, and no chance you'll care. Service/Atmosphere - It's a tiny spot in a strip mall, you order at the counter and find a seat (a handful of tables inside, a handful outside). You're not there for ambiance, you're there to shove your piehole full of taco goodness. It serves its purpose. Service - the first time was fantastic, I think he was the owner, the second time was okay... Again, goal = piehole full of goodness. In conclusion - Yes, 6-9 bucks per taco for a "taco joint" is a lot. But you really do get a ton of food.. and it's really yummy. Personally, we thought the fish was just okay but the other meats were super delicious. Do it. Just once. read more

I really really wanted to like this place more. On the plus side, they have GF corn tortillas made fresh. They have a cool mariachi playing skeleton in the can that will sing for you as you relieve yourself. But... It was just eh.. He food is not good Mexican its..okay Mexican. It did not have much flavor. Maybe I am spoiled by having great Mexican ... And maybe by Kauai standards this place rocks, but I found everything to be bland, and just not exceptional in anyway. Sorry, just being honest. read more
