Pick a seat - plenty of options ranging from booths to tables for 2, 4, 6 & above. Furniture is a bit outdated but it gives off a homey feel. Greeted promptly, drinks & pupus ordered & served swiftly. Dinner orders placed shortly after & after seeing the multiple take out orders going out the door, we understood why it took a bit longer for our food to be served. No biggie! Prices are affordable, portions are filling (we had plenty of leftovers). Great taste, pleasing to the eye. Plenty of parking Go early!

So far the chimichanga, enchiladas, chile relleno have been our go tos! Their salsa is soooo good, I need to keep from licking the bowl!

I might be being melodramatic, but it is truly tragic that the Mexican food options here on Oahu…read moreare pretty slim compared to most of the mainland. Enter Chili Relleno onto my radar as I hunt for something close to the enchilada plate I am longing for (RIL Azteca). I believe it was a word of mouth mention followed by a review search that enticed me to drive outside my easy east Honolulu bubble into the moody, misty mountains of Kaneohe. Restaurant is right across the Valley of the Temples making it perfect place to lunch if you're ever headed there. This place checks of a bunch of my boxes. First off, complimentary chips and salsa. As every Mexican restaurant SHOULD. I'm exhausted with bougie Mexican spots. I want home style. I want comfort. Second, BYOB. Nuff said. If you add homey comfort with BYOB you are almost a home run as long as... The food is good. And it is. Rice and beans with mix and match enchiladas or multiple burritos, tacos, carnitas, fajitas, chimichangas... you name it, to choose from. Ambience is thumbs up with bright festive decor and our server, Saylor, was a pleasant balance of attentiveness, efficiency, and fun. As I said, a standard, decent enchiladas plates is not the easiest meal to come by on Oahu, and it just happens to be my number one comfort food. I've dined here going on four times, which means this restaurant alone has brought me to Kaneohe more than anything in my middle aged life has ever done. It gets busy for lunch sometimes but the service and food is always pretty efficient. Might be my favorite Mexican restaurant at present on the island.

There was a little confusion when I ordered only because I thought it was saying it came with carne asada but when I got there she said it was extra so I paid extra for meat and guacamole.

Walking into the place, it felt like every other taco spot on Oʻahu. I had a craving to satisfy, so…read moreI figured I'd give it a shot. I ordered the carnitas tacos, grabbed my food, and headed next door for a drink. The moment I picked up the taco, I knew something was different. The aroma, the heat, and the juices dripping from it told me I was in for a treat. After the first bite, it was game over--the taco never made it back to the plate. My only mission was to finish it. That's why there are no pictures. I actually went back inside just to compliment the chef. This is the closest thing to Taco El Gordo I've found on Oʻahu, and I'll absolutely be back for more.

We start with a complimentary homemade salsa and a basket of fresh warm tortilla chips. My wife loved the carne asada taco salad, served in a warm crispy tortillas bowl; she devoured the whole thing, tortilla bowl and all. I really enjoyed the dos carnitas enchiladas in red sauce with rice and beans. The plate was hot and humongous, I was barely able to finish it. The service was very friendly and efficient. The parking is a little tight since it was small and shared with a few other businesses.

They were mini street flour tortillas stuff with filling of your choice cilantro & onions. They were tasty & we added sharp cheddar cheese to Livin them up, along with tomato salsa & sour cream. Our Carnitas Chimichanga plate was full. Spanish rice & beans, sour cream & guacamole on the side & a nice size piece of entree! We enjoyed it! Service on the phone & when I arrived was very friendly & top notch by the young lady working! Restaurant was empty @ 4pm& looked good & clean @ a glance. Will go back& try other foods!

I decided to have dinner and drinks with one of my best friends after a photo shoot at Kailua beach park. We had no issue at all with parking which is always a win when you're in the middle of Kailua, My friend and I both ordered the Li Hing mui margarita blended and you know it lasted us the whole time we sat at our table lol. Their margaritas are served in fishbowl glasses and so yummy! I also ordered their Birria tacos with consommé. It was okay. I felt like I tasted more oil and grease and couldn't put my finger on the taste of the consommé sauce. Our waitress was so kind and upbeat. She offered us another round to which we declined and had a smile on her face every time she came around. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area for a drink or a great time

We decided to stop in for one last meal before our flight back home, and my husband and I were…read moreblown away. The portions are huge! Our son ordered the nachos appetizer as his main meal, my husband got the Mexico burrito, and I ordered the carnitas plate. I tried a bit of everyone's food, and honestly, we had zero complaints. Every dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The meat was tender, not overly salty or chewy at all. The guacamole was even creamy! To put the value into perspective: a few days earlier, I bought three carne asada tacos with very little meat from a food court in Waikiki, and they were only a few dollars cheaper than my entire, massive plate here. The pricing is incredible for the generous portions you get, making it a great budget friendly option compared to everywhere else we ate while visiting Honolulu. My husband even noted that he had never had Mexican food this good in the States especially considering Honolulu is so far from the border! He rarely raves about restaurants, so the fact that he's already talking about coming back makes this place an absolute must try.

We were pretty full by the time we finished our dinner but decided to split a bread pudding desert anyway. I love bread pudding. It was warm, delicious and the perfect way to finish a great meal. Everything we had was excellent and the service was fast and flawless. I wish I knew when they would offer this special again. If you happen to be there on a night it's on the menu as a special, be sure to order it. You won't be disappointed.
