Al Pastor - Mahi mahi fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

There's a little company of food trucks off the highway heading north from Lihue to Kealia. The place was recommended to us by a local who sells coconuts by the Wailua falls. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Lots of local chickens will hang out with you, which is awesome. My wife had the fish tacos which she said were decent but not amazing. I had the steak and mushroom quesedilla, which was just the best. To each his or her own, but I will definitely recommend. read more

Fish tacos were great with plenty of truly fresh fish. Pastor taco was loaded, but a little dry. Overall, no qualms about it! Delish!! read more

We had the fish tacos and carne asada tacos. The fish was so fresh and absolutely delicious. The carne asada was good, but nothing really stood out. I prefer my steak tacos with red onions, cilantro and lime. They served theirs with a sauce similar to what comes with fish tacos. Good, not great. Location is convenient, right on the main stret in Kapaa and close to beach. Local bright colored chickens everywhere, adding to the ambiance and experience! read more

Al Pastor - Mahi Mahi fish tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

We had Al pastor taco and fresh fish tacos. Tasty and filling. Service was great. Food made to order. Wait for a bit , but big rewards. Local family owned business. Seating outside. Tidy and accessible. Small tasty experiences are always the best. read more

Fish and shrimp are excellent but the al Pastor is amazing. I would give the first to a five star regardless, but if you do and then you taste the al pastor, you need to give it six stars. somewhat surprisingly, the staff was fairly competent in these days of employees not giving a damn. It was prepared quite quickly but in nice to go containers that traveled well. beans and rice were good also. My wife is somewhat picky about these kinds of things but she was blown away. read more

I was so excited to come on Yelp and rate this place so that everyone knows this place is a must eat! IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE. I was so happy when I was eating I even said "this is such a great moment." I got the steak taco, and the garlic shrimp tacos. Would highly suggest both. The shrimp were my favorite. The rice and beans and guacamole that came with it were incredible. The lady taking orders was so kind and had such great vibes. She also made my happy. read more

Absolutely delicious, I had the fish tacos that were fresh mahi mahi. There was big chunks of fish in the tacos. Must go! read more

Food had a good taste to it but would've like to have seen more meat-free options (Chile relleno, tamale, nopales?). Waited what seemed too long for our order and it ended up needing a correction (food allergy request). Our bad, should've checked before leaving the truck, but see re wait time above. Called in and it was redone for us no problem. Staff very courteous and as I said food was uniquely tasty but portion size was a bit small I thought. I liked the covered tables seating area and being able to people watch while waiting for our order. Would revisit if more meat-free choices/specials were offered! read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 87 On a Sunday many places are closed on the island so we came upon this food truck seeking a fish lunch. The fish of the day was ahi, so we chose ahi burritos. The gal behind the counter was very friendly when we placed our orders. The burritos arrived hot, wrapped in a flour tortilla and filled generously with ahi, rice and beans while a small amount of guacamole and chipotle creama sauce was on the side. Taste wise, they were okay. I've been spoiled coming from California where we have lots of Mexican restaurants. We sat outside on one of the several covered picnic tables. The numberof wild chickens in the food court were a little out of control. They're bold, too, hopping on the tables. Don't drop your food if you eat there, they may accidentally peck your foot. read more

This is a food truck but don't let that fool you. The catch of the day was ahi tuna and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce they put on the tacos was tasty and had a little kick. Their beans and rice were good. They had covered picnic tables for you to sit. The wait for the food wasn't long at all. And the service was friendly. read more

Great little food truck just north of Kapaa. Super friendly staff, nice picnic tables and excellent fish tacos.

Not sure why this place is rated so highly - maybe because most of the people eating it are hungry tourists that don't know what real Mexican fish tacos taste like? Hate to sound like a snob but they were not very flavorful, and they cost $12 for two tacos.... Absolutely flabbergasted. They tasted like $3 tacos at best read more

We love stopping by this food truck court on our way back from a day of adventuring. Perfect little place to grab some amazing fish tacos and watch the sunset. The tacos were fresh and delicious. The wait is a little long, but it's totally worth it, plus the owners are people. read more

Will probably check this out next time i visit Kauai.. but I do have to say a real Al Pastor is prepared and cooked like Greek GYRO... its layered meat cooked vertically and already seasoned and the taste is 2nd to none.. and when its cooked like the GYROs the meat is more of a Orange color.. this meat is more cooked on the grill... I'm sure its taste awsome but Pork is great tasting anyways... If you go to Mexico and get a Al Pastor taco... they cut the meat off the vertically cooking pork and meat falls on the corn tortillas, anyways.. just saying hows its cook in Mexico and how its cooked in the US... Even here in Los Angeles most of the Mexican resturants make Al Pastor on the grill and seasoned with the Al Pastor spices... Very very few places will cook their Al Pastor like the GYROs.. read more

This place was fantastic. They had just caught fresh ahi tuna that morning so that's what was in the fish tacos. For 11.50 that includes guacamole, rice, beans and chipotle crema, it was a great lunch deal on the island (expect to pay $10-15 anywhere on the island for lunch). The rice was cooked super well, the beans were super tasty and as someone who doesn't like refried beans, these were bombbbbb. The ahi tuna was cooked to a perfect medium rare and they were BIG slices of tuna which I liked. My mom got the lengua tacos which she said was really good. She usually doesn't like Mexican food so this is a big compliment coming from her. Service was also spectacular and the lady brought our food to us and was so friendly. Will definitely come back next time I'm on the island! read more

The food was fresh to order and MOIGHTY delicious. I got the Al Pastor(duh) and a fish taco. Bomb, succulent, juicy, and mouth watering. And that was just the food... I'd come back just because the lady that took our order called me sweetheart and made me feel like I was her nephew. Best customer service I've got on Kauai for sure. In a food truck. Going back FOR SURE. Also to take a picture...because we forgot...because it looked too good to let sit...whoops read more

Some of the best tacos I've had! Perfect flavor combination and the rice and beans were to die for. We had the tacos al pastor and steak taco, both equally delicious! read more

Al Pastor - Al Pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Oh, so good. Likely one of the best meals we had on our trip through the islands, this is the only establishment we returned to. Prices are not cheap, they skimp a bit on extras when requested, and expect a long line. However, the employees were polite and portions for tacos and plates generous (not street-taco style). Some modifications, such as the al pastor having non traditional toppings, but the meat is off a spit and salsa an adequate, light heat. There are many taco trucks nearby, most of which have customers but none in as long of a line. Worth a visit! A taco plate should fill you up when empty. The ahi seemed to be an everyday "special," but visit them enough and you may find a change. read more

All I have to say is.. WOW! The best meal I've had on the island! Fresh and very flavorful fish tacos! Great portions served with authenticity! Service was excellent, everyone was very friendly! Local family owned business! Will definitely be coming back here. Very highly recommend this spot! read more

A family member sent out a tweet pic of the fish taco (he is cooler than me), He got jealous replies back. I tried them by his suggestion and was very happy. The shells were finger holders for one big chunk of fish. With two fish tacos and sides for about $11... this was a very filling & tasty bargain. I wish they had this place in my home town. read more

Excellent taco truck with a big variety but the best are the fresh fish tacos, beans and rice. Absolutely the best tacos I have had on the island. These are a fresh as can be. Comes with a fresh yummy side of guac, a lime really well flavored rice and whole beans. This family knows tacos. Seating is area available too wth umbrellas. Highly recommend on your way to or from the North Shore. Right next to Otsukas furniture. There even is a porta potty for the truley needy:) read more

Al Pastor - Two ahi tacos, rice and beans. Delicious. $11 - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Love the tacos here! The fresh fish tacos are wonderful and the garlic shrimp tacos are also delicious.

Here the food trucks are everyday and we found a "pool" of food trucks when biking along the beach. Stopped by and interested in the fresh fish tacos. 4.5 per taco, we ordered one fish taco (today's fish is mahi) and garlic shrimp taco. First and foremost, the seafood portion is super nice. The mahi was big chuck of steak and cooked well in medium rare. However, the flavor is a bit on the lighter side. The shrimp taco had 4-5 medium to large size shrimp, very fresh with its "crisp" texture. The sauce/flavor with the shrimps is very tasty, better than the fish. Moreover, the double tortillas were very fresh that you can taste the freshness of it. For a food truck, this is great food. Also, be aware of those chickens that will jump on to tables and fight for a little piece of food that is dropped to the ground, lol #kauai #fishtaco #shrimptacos #kauaifoodtruck #kauaifood #hawaiifood #hawaiiseafood #hawaiifoodtrucks read more

Absolutely delicious fish burrito! Al Pastor was recommended to us from a local. The fish of the day was Ahi, recommended medium rare. The amount of fish and ratio of beans and rice was perfect. Will definitely visit again if the opportunity permits. read more

Stopped here without knowing anything about it. It was da bomb! Incredible mahi mahi tacos with delicious sides of pinto beans (think it had kahlua pork in it), and great dollop of avocado on the Spanish rice. What a find!! read more

Okay - so we know food trucks are hit and miss but this is a hit. My husband ordered pastor taco, a fresh ahi taco and shrimp taco. My husband says that the pastor was the best, the ahi was fresh and the shrimp was eh. I ordered the chicken and the carne asada tacos, both were yummy but my preference was the chicken taco. We also ordered chips and salsa for $5, i'd skip the chips and salsa next time, wasn't worth it but the salsa was quite tasty but given how fast your food comes out you really don't have a chance to eat them. The woman taking our order was quite friendly and helpful, their tables were clean and they had good covering from the sun. We will be back here, this was a great place for an afternoon meal or snack! read more

Stopped on a rainy day... the ahi taco featured a very nice couple of hunks but the sauce was kind of bland. First bite was really good, but I think that is because hunger makes the best sauce. The al pastor meat was very generous and flavorful.... why does every al pastor taco I have ever had only have one teeny piece of pineapple? read more

Really enjoyed the al pastor and shrimp tacos. Very friendly owner! Definitely add it to your places to visit.

The absolute best fish tacos I've ever had. We have Ahi Tuna tacos and garlic shrimp and both were amazing.

Super disappointed. I came here with high hopes after reading the yelp reviews. I got the Al Pastor tacos and my husband got the fish burrito and tacos. The Al Pastor tacos and rice were pretty good. The fish was meh. It was cubed in huge chunks and lacked flavor. The fish taco had about 2 giant cubes and a bunch of cabbage and sauce. The "chipotle sauce" wasnt the least bit "chipotely. The fish burrito was more of the same, no flavor. All in all, these Mexican food loving Southern California people were disappointed. read more

The woman working was very kind and friendly. I ordered the garlic shrimp taco plate and it was okay, definitely could have used more flavor - maybe something extra with the sauce. This truck was one of the few opened in the area during the middle of the week afternoon. I would recommend but maybe try something with more excitement from the menu. read more

Yummy food with friendly service. We came because my fiancé said that it was in the same location where a scene in Jurassic Park was filmed; I don't think it was the right location but it was still very delicious. The service was fairly quick too and the portion sizes are very large!!!! If you're driving by, definitely worth a stop. read more
