(Dine/Drank 04/25/26 SA @ 2:00pm): There was mucho brewing at this house of aloha!…read more My second and final brewery experience on this short trip to Kaua'i was at Mucho Aloha Brewhouse. The idea of Mucho Aloha Brewhouse came about during a backyard BBQ in Seal Beach, CA that made its way across the Pacific Ocean and landed on the island of Kaua'i. As a tribute to celebrating among family and friends with great beer and food, a welcoming gathering place was created for everyone to come together and share stories. Would I find much aloha at this brewhouse!? PURCHASE(S) Mucho Aloha Brewhouse Lowdown Lager Beer 2.7% ABV 16floz Draft ($4.00 HH): Bright amber color, dank malty aroma, light body, dank malty sweet watery flavor, crisp finish, and dank malty aftertaste. Way too light and watery for me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=ao_00rfkLvpprP7tqtocKw 4pc Loco Wings Hot ($12.00 HH): At $3.00/ea, these were small, had minimal meat, and weren't as hot as I'd hoped. They had a nice crisp but that was it. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=vWzbIQjk8kj7OPNVi3Gm9Q 3pc Grilled Fish Tacos & Tortilla Chips ($26.00): The fish portion was nice but a bit dry and I should've had this beer-battered instead, while the chopped red cabbage was plentiful but needed some flavor. The tortilla chips and salsa were fine. I was very disappointed, especially at nearly $9.00/taco. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=RywnYkqzivVoxLrTGNhFqQ Mucho Aloha Brewhouse Pineapple Xpress Hazy IPA Beer 6.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($10.00): Bright hazy amber color, fruity pineapple tropical aroma, light body, fruity hoppy pineapple flavor, smooth finish, and hoppy pineapple tropical aftertaste. This was tasty! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=yS3FrT5LrTw6R_ih5fxiew Stickers ($2.00 x2): I loved stickers and would commonly place them on walls of other breweries. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=Y-278vH82cxUx30kRbplVA Souvenir Grey Logo T-Shirt M ($35.00): I certainly didn't need another t-shirt! However, I really liked the graphic - damn marketing! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=AnyPNLfj7DdHn7bu28d_Gw Service Charge 3.0% ($2.73): More businesses did this to try and offset costs. SERVICE Warmly greeted by a friendly female and male behind the bar, I took a moment to browse the beer and food menu, then shortly ordered, my beer was ready immediately, I was given a table number, and I found a place out on the patio. Minutes later, a young man delivered my food. There was a self-serve water station outside next to the trash station where you dumped your trays and such. It was all chill - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I took the bus, so this wasn't an issue for me. Otherwise, there appeared to be some onsite parking with spots along the main drag of Koloa Rd. and other side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A casual layout where inside https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=POhPn0Zopr86aF1051Ijvg was the bar/order counter, a visible brewing system, some bar stools, and several tables, while a spacious outdoor patio https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=pRAKlJPfih0NquB62jOkPA with table benches and umbrellas, there were plenty of places to sit. Plenty of natural lighting both inside and on the patio while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs inside while indie rock music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=kTpING_-FpvVQxvfEFzRwA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I would consider visiting Mucho Aloha Brewhouse again just to try more of their beers for a better sense since I absolutely didn't like one but loved another. They had only 10 beers https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=Zew6wCI-Rs8kV7253Y56tQ on tap, the food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=IwK6jloTkDRzbn6oZiJJfA wasn't happening for me, the prices were elevated (especially the food), and the service was good. Furry family members were allowed outside! Daily happy hour specials (2pm-5pm) and almost certain nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more was available. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $98.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Although you may miss this place as you drive by because it literally is a hole in the wall of a little strip mall of sorts you have to look for it. But as that description goes, typically the food found in a "hole in the wall" it is usually very delicious and they did not disappoint! The lady who took our orders was very friendly. I let her know that I was gluten-free which they were able to accommodate. We have the taco bowl or burrito bowl or a "bowl" as it's listed. You first choose burrito, bowl, or tacos, then choose your meat, which is ground beef, chicken, Carne Asada, fish, which happened to be shark today. Then you choose if you want sour cream and cheese, etc., guacamole, then choose Mexican, brown, or regular rice and then what type of beans, black or pinto. Then you choose your sauce, jalapeño mild up to very hot and then pico de gallo. Then you can choose your jarritos drink or the one canned guava drink. You get a size nice portion in a paper bowl covered with foil and it is delicious & seasoned to perfection. So they did not disappoint! Parking is tight to be mindful of those backing out. Will return before leaving Kauai.

I ordered the chicken burrito and my fiancé ordered the burrito bowl with fish. The bowl was served in one of those tiny Dixie paper bowls..for $17! He ate it all and was still hungry. My burrito had way more food than his bowl. Unfortunately their Mexican rice is really not it...the grains of rice are huge and flavorless. The only thing that saved my burrito was the shredded chicken. It was moist and flavorful, and they didn't skimp on the amount they put in the burrito which I truly appreciate since taking any bite without the meat was super bland. No seating available, this is all to go style. Parking is easy since there's a parking lot right in front. It's easy to locate and is situated next to a small grocery store. I recommend you go grab some banana bread from the grocery store for dessert, you won't regret it. All in all, I think there is better Mexican food on Kaua'i for the same price or less.

Absolute gem of the food truck!…read more It will take some time to get your food as they only have one or two people taking orders and cooking. But it is well worth the wait! I ordered the vegetarian option and was blown away by the flavor. Also, do not miss the elote! Seating is limited to two small tables. But people vacate as soon as they're done eating and we did not have any problem finding a seat. Highly recommend this place!

The BEST Mexican food on Kaua'i, no lies!…read more We got the breakfast burritos at 1pm on a Wednesday. We parked on the dirt next to the skincare clinic--make sure to be past their sign/not inside the clinic's parking lot. Taco Libre is located in a lot with other food trucks, including Aloha Always which has the best açaí bowls. The lady working at the truck was super sweet and friendly, she recommended half al pastor and half carne asada for the burritos, and they did not miss! The tortilla had a beautiful grill on them but still soft, the cheese inside the burrito was ooey gooey and the meat was moist and flavorful with no fatty/chewy bits. The burrito was a great size and served with side of rice and beans. Both their red sauce and green sauces were delicious, I didn't find them spicy but some might. They also had pickled red onions and pickled jalapeños by the sauces and they were a tasty addition to our meal. Plenty of seating available all around the lot, Taco Libre has its own family style seating right next to their truck. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes from this food truck! Don't forget to ring the bell if you liked the food! :D

The "wood lanai" vibe and umbrella tables offer the perfect mix of shade and island breeze. The standout discovery was the Kauai beef which is local grass-fed beef. You can truly taste the difference--it's incredibly fresh and light. My younger sister ordered the Kenji-style Loco Moco, and since she couldn't finish it, I happily stepped in. It was phenomenal. My older sister enjoyed the Kenji Burger, though she mentioned it was a bit heavy on the sauce (pro tip: that extra sauce makes for an excellent French fry dip!). I opted for the 3-taco appetizer. While the tacos were a bit on the small side, the oversized side salad helped fill the gap. Between the great atmosphere, friendly service, and quality local ingredients, this was the perfect first meal on Kauai.

Black Cod has got to be one of the fattiest, tender, and delicious fish to ever swim the oceans. The sandwich was perfect. As always, the shoestring fries are nice and crispy, and they pair well the beer they have on tap. Service was decent. Nothing extraordinary. But sat down promptly, ordered quick, and food was out fast. No BS. It's probably a benefit to hire younger kids who don't really care, I loved it; no BS. All outdoor/covered seating like you're in a Lanai. Love that style. Really brings a vibe inside. The Giant TV also helps should the games be on. However the speaker was busted. It was cracking on high notes, and was very, very annoying. I asked the server to please turn it down, and she did, and it still cracked. So management, get that fixed. Will most likely be back, as its the solo burger joint in the area, and it does NOT let you down!

The front desk staff guided me to the elevator. This trip was for my birthday. In every reservation when asked about a special occasion, I put birthday. This was the first restaurant to acknowledge my special day. The check-in staff wished me well as did the server. We had been to several restaurants prior to Eating House that didn't say a word. Kudos to the staff for its kindness. The restaurant is open air and very comfortable. It has a rustic feel. We were seated by the window on a cool, rainy night but were perfectly dry the whole evening. On top of that, our server was very helpful in guiding us to order the right amount of food. He brought us a serving of edamame which is always on the house. The shrimp & pork potstickers were very good. I had the ramen which was tasty, filling and a great choice. Our server was terrific to put the spicy oil on the side which made it easier for me to eat. My husband had the butterfish which is the best I have ever tasted. It is a signature dish and always a pleaser. The only real downside is the limited menu. We were told that because of a staff shortage, it wasn't the typical menu. This was disappointing. But they did have the best of the Roy's dishes. So far, it has been the best experience that we have had in Poipu.

The wedge salad was a large piece with crisp bacon, candied pecans, grape tomato halves and a tasty dressing. It only needed some red onion to make it perfect. The calamari were crispy but the portion size was too small and the pieces of calamari were too small so the ratio of crust to fish was too high.

We were told that the pupi portions were large and could easily be shared. This was true and we split the calamari and my husband found it to be too salty. We both had the fresh catch. He had ahi tuna and I had mancha which I was told was like halibut. It was thinner than halibut and reminded me of mahi-mahi. It was suggested to have it pan seared to make sure it was not overcooked. Well, it was a bit fry from being overcooked. I had a double portion of green vegetables which turned out to be 4 pieces of asparagus. My husband's ahi was served a bit more than seared and rare. His sides were 2 pieces of asparagus and a piece of carrot. In essence we each had a small piece of fish and a small portion of vegetables. This was a mediocre meal in a beautiful setting. They need to step up their game.
