Al Pastor - El Pastor food truck with great views - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

This food truck was a chance stop for us, and it paid off big time. We got a fish taco and the chicken taco and walked down to the rocky beach sat on some rocks and enjoyed the perfectly cooked and perfectly flavored and portioned tacos. read more

Al-Pastor is my favorite food truck and Mexican food. One of my favorites is their steak and mushroom quesadilla, and also fish tacos. Maybe it's the kind of cheese they put in the quesadilla or some other "secret ingredient" but it's so hearty and delicious. The fish in the tacos are locally caught and if it's ahi they usually serve it cooked more on the rare side, which ahi served rare is a delicacy in Hawaii. Unlike a lot of other food trucks, here there is a decent amount of seating area to eat there. Plus is right next to the ocean so it's just a beautiful place to gaze at the ocean and enjoy the ocean breeze while you wait for your order. Sometimes I order a orange jarritos soda to wash all that deliciousness down. read more

I love Al Pastor burrito!! This place is always on my list to eat at when I'm family and home. I am very bias on places to eat on Kaua'i because my family works for a produce company. And I know the quality of their produce is better than some of the other companies on island. Al Pastor orders from my family. Also, I've done deliveries in the past with family. So I've seen what the kitchens look like. That's a big deal whether I'll eat there or not. Anyways, back to the fabulous lunch wagon!!! Located at the end of Kapaa town, near the public pool and next to Otsuka's furniture store. I was introduced to this place through my brother when we would head up to the north shore. We would stop here, and we usually split the Al Pastor burrito. So tasty... My brother loves the habanero hot sauce. Very tasty, but very spicy. Not for the weak... I also like their fish burritos. The ahi (yellow fin tuna) is purchased from local fishermen. So it's fresh. They have pictures of the fishermen they purchased from. It's great to see some of the boys they bought from. The lingua us delicious as well. Gave one to the sister in-law without telling her it was tongue. She liked it... Then once I told her, she was like ewwww. In my head, I was like STFU you liked it.. Anyways... This is a top 5 of my places to eat while back home. Simple, delicious, easy to order, decent price meals. They take credit cards. Great on the go food!! Can't wait on my next visit home to eat a burrito from Al Pastor!! read more

Best Mexican food truck on the island . BEST PORK QUESADILLA ever. Chunky and juicy large pieces of pork in the quesadilla. Other items are great too. Can't wait to try them all. Service is great too. read more

Literally the BEST shrimp tacos I've had in my entire life. Ever. If you are in the area I recommend that you RUN (fast) to this taco truck which deserves to be a National treasure in Kauai. My cousin had the steak tacos and she said they were juicy and flavorful but I swear the shrimp tacos were to die for! With your meal they give you an very small verde sauce which is hot af so be prepared for a kick! You only get one sauce with your meal and asking for a second will one cost you $1. Worth it tho! read more

Al Pastor - Shrimp and steak tacos - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

I gotta say it lives up to the hype. I was told by a few that al pastor was their go to place for tacos. Being today was taco Tuesday and we were in the area before they closed figure give it a try. Wow. Great flavor and great value. The pastor taco was amazing. Wish I got more. $4.50 and it felt like 2 tacos. The fresh fish today was ahi. Great flavor and generous pieces. I'll definitely go back if I can catch it while they're open. Just wish they would be open for dinner. read more

Little family owned truck with amazing, well priced tacos. Definitely a perfect lunch stop in Kapaa!

Excellent fresh fish tacos & burritos from a bright green food truck!! Easy to find and we were able to park on the street right in front of the truck. You won't find mole pablano or chili relleno on their menu, but really.good fresh fish!! read more

Delicious tacos! I'm from California so I have a good idea of what what to look for in tacos. Had the shrimp tacos and chicken tacos. Came with rice and beans which were very good. The sauce on the tacos was not very spicy but it was good. Located near other food trucks and lots of outdoor seating. Hit the spot after riding bikes to the beach. read more

During my last trip to Kauai, I was on a mission to eat tege tege shave ice and just so happen to stumble upon this place. There were a lot of people ordering from this particular food truck so we decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint!!! We tried their shrimp taco plate, fish taco plate and one ala carte pork taco. The plates come with two tacos, beans and rice. The rice was absolutely delicious!! We all really enjoyed our food and it is definitely a place we will visit again! read more

We're from California so I'd like to think we know a good Mexican place when we taste it. This place was great! We are here after a long hike and kayaking the Wailua River. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. Just what these Cali kids were craving. You won't be disappointed. We got the steak and mushroom quesadilla and the chicken tacos. Both were delicious but I was totally surprised that the chicken was extremely moist and the sauces were delicious. I really wish I had also ordered the fresh fish tacos. We will definitely make this a routine stop when we visit the island. read more

Al Pastor - The side of the food truck, located right off the highway next to Otsuka's furniture. - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

We recently visited this food truck that's located on the east side of the island. We haven't been to the east side in a while, so we thought we might as well go food trucking'. I've searched on yelp to see which food truck had rave reviews and that's how we came upon Al Pastor. The food was good. We had the garlic shrimp tacos and also a side of an Al Pastor taco. Everyone ordered from this food truck and we were lucky that there wasn't any line. The garlic shrimp tacos was good, it was recommended by the nice sweet lady taking our order. It didn't have a strong garlic taste, but it was good. The beans was a little bit on the watery side, but we just went for the rice instead. The Al Pastor taco was on point, it wasn't salty at all. It had all the right flavors. The tacos are a good size portions for 1 person. Overall, everything was good. Will definitely be back for more! read more

This is our second visit to Kauai and this place is a must. They have the best tacos on the island. Today it was the Ahi tacos!! Oh my gosh I want to bring them back to California. Thank you Paulino and Fawn for making some good eats! Awesome Awesome Awesome!! read more

The food tasted fairly decent from this street cart, but the woman who took our order was fairly rude. She rolled her eyes at us when my kids and I ordered only Al Carte Ahi tacos (which turned out to be no bigger than a mason jar and they were $4.50 each!). Hubby ordered a full plate and said it tasted good, but the beans were more sauce than actual beans. Considering the price, amount of food, and rude attitude......nope, we'll visit the others when back on Kauai. read more

I loved this place! After a day on the beach, we started a taco tour through Kauai and this was the first stop. The truck is parked next to a few others so there was a nice atmosphere with the picnic tables and people around. Now the taco... MY FAVORITE OF THE DAY! I had the El Pastor taco and the meat was amazing! Service was friendly and believe me, if I ever make my way back to Kauai, I'll be pulling up to this taco truck! read more

Definitely fresh and onolicious tacos around! Idk if I would go as far to as to say that they're THE BEST ever, but definitely at the top of my list. Bf had al pastor n fish tacos (catch of the day was ahi), I ordered a fish n shrimp. In my opinion, the shrimp was better than the fish, so plump and fresh!! The chipotle salsa the lady have us paired really well with the tacos too!! Shrimp taco was so good, I ordered another. We didn't order the plates with rice and beans. We went a la carte, afterall we thereto taste the tacos, not the rice & beans! We would definitely come back here if we return to Kauai. Great service and quick too! read more

This was my husband's favourite meal on our two week stay on Kauai. We travelled be whole island and ate a lot of different places (a lot of tacos too). This was our favourite. In fact, he had only taken a bite of his first set of tacos before getting up to order more. I'm never a huge fan of the wild chickens around me while I'm eating, but any food truck on Kauai has this issue. Eat here! You can walk to the beach or enjoy it right there. The owners seemed really awesome and totally laughed when they saw my husband going up for more. read more

We went to MANY taco places while on vacation. This is the only one I am reviewing, because I only like to say nice things about people. Go here!!!! Yummy fish tacos, great ratio of meat to corn tortillas, good amount of moisture content. However, their name is Al Pastor for a reason!!! It's OFF THE HOOK amazing. Service was really nice and friendly, and we were happy to see NO STYROFOAM! Compostable divided to go boxes!! We wish we had come here sooner!!! Do not go anywhere else in Kapaa- this is the best food and FANTASTIC cost! Individual tacos are $4 or $4.50 !!! read more

Al Pastor - Fish tacos!! - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Great food truck for on the way to the beach. It is in a little area with 5 other food trucks (good luck catching that crepe truck open). So there are a few wooden benches with umbrellas if you decide to stay and eat there. But I would suggest taking it to go and enjoy your tacos on the beach. I had the Al Pastor, which is 2 roasted pork tacos with an avocado sauce and a side of rice and beans. The sauce was delicious! (and I am not a fan of avocados) The meat was seasoned good and cooked just how I like it (but I like my meat well done). My husband had the fish tacos, and at this point in the vacation I think he had just about had enough tacos so he wasn't too impressed with the place. read more

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

Mexican food truck known for its fish tacos. As vegetarians, we had to chose between tostado or taco. We ended up going with tostado and were not disappointed. A layer of pinto beans on top of tostado tortilla lettuce, vegetables, cheese served with guacamole and lime. Great choice for a quick bite or snack read more

Delicious fresh fish tacos., the lady working in the food truck had an excellent friendly personality. Fresh catch was ahi - delicious and the shrimp tacos were tasty too! Rice was flavor and beans were good too...lot of food! Picnic benches around, chickens (of course) roaming around but not bothersome....cute actually with the chicks they had with them. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing tacos! Will definitely be back here before our trip is over. My boyfriend and I came to this food truck after a great massage (our massage therapist recommended this place), and the tacos were so so good. I had the fish tacos (fresh ahi today) and my boyfriend had a fish taco and a garlic shrimp taco -- both delicious. The ahi melted in my mouth. You can order the tacos as a plate with rice & beans or just get them a la carte. It's a good spot with picnic tables and umbrellas in a little food truck corral next to a small beach. A+, definitely recommend. read more

3 years later and still making delicious food. I got the Ahi tacos this time and they were really good. Perfect post-bike ride stop for me. I was tempted by the steak, but when fresh fish is as abundant as it is here, there is no other reasonable choice. read more

Coming from SoCal, we had high expectations when it comes to tacos. This food truck did not disappoint. Their namesake Al Pastor tacos were delicious and not greasy as some food trucks in LA. That was an unexpected and quite a wonderful surprise for us. Portions were generous and we were greatly satisfied with the value for our money. We drive here several times during our 2 week stay. I did try the Ahi taco and have one suggestion: a little added salt would've gone a long way. Price is just right and note the chickens are fairly aggressive and will jump on the tables. Otherwise, enjoy!! read more

Best tacos/ burritos on the island. We are from SoCal and these tacos were FANTASTIC. Such fresh fish and the fish burrito with the spicy habanero sauce is a must (ask for the cabbage to be put inside). We were on the island for a week and came back 4 different times - even took the tacos to Kealia beach to sit and eat/ watch surfers. This place is a must - service, food, location - 5 stars!!! :) read more

Got yummy and fresh ahi taco and the avocado sauce was yummy!! They even gave me a fish treat for my rescue

Good tacos. The best part is that it is the place that the guy from Jurassic park ate when he was making the deal for the dinosaur embryos at the beginning of the movie. There is the crooked tree just behind the taco truck. read more

Great fish tacos! Big pieces of Ahi along with all the fixes. Also ordered a steak taco, which was also tasty. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. The tacos are huge. When out and about it's must for lunch when on the island. Delicious. read more

I'm very confused why this place is so highly rated. We got a fish burrito and fish tostadas, and they were both flavorless and bland. They desperately needed salt, cilantro, lime, or literally anything to add flavor. So expensive for very mediocre food. read more

Went here twice on my trip and both times were excellent. Very friendly and the food was incredible. I had a fish taco and al pastor, both were on point. The Al Pastor was on point, slightly crispy and very tasty. Fish taco was very fresh and delicious. My wife got the carne asada and it was very good as well. Definitely one of the top Taco spots on the entire island. read more

Al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Fairly good tacos! We went on a day they had fresh Ahi and you could really taste the freshness. If you like fishy fish tacos (not the stuff drenched in cheese and sauce) these are for you. These had a lot of fish inside. Get them cooked medium rare! We really loved the garlic shrimp tacos which were also a special, I recommend those if they have them. The chips and salsa were okay, I wouldn't order them again. Good amount of seating and close to the beach and other shops/food trucks, so if you're with a group you could go and everyone could order just what they want, which is a plus. read more
