    Taco Salad
    Tara L.

    SUPER friendly service! Love that the owner himself is out there working too Like subway/chipotle Start on one side, tell them what dish you want, then go down the line to add your extras. Then go find a seat and enjoy! So far ive only ever gotten the taco salad with chicken, chips on the side Soo good I bet the place gets pretty crowded at night since they also have a bar area. Very large interior. I was surprised when i stepped through the door. Dont forget to take your plates back to the trash area and clean up after yourselves!

    Kalua pork bomber burrito (wet) and chips and guac with a Side of Cilantro Lime Rice -- less than $25, a great deal if you ask me
    Haley N.

    100% hit the spot!! Exactly everything I need in a good burrito. Portion sizes: Phenomenal, packed with all the flavors and easily shareable. So many chips too, my belly almost couldn't handle it... and that is a great problem to have. Flavor: Amazing, I have had a rough time finding tasty Mexican food on the island and this was exactly what I needed. Service: Fast and reliable, I called in an order to go and they had it ready for me in ten minutes. I really would love to dine in next time as well, but it was a great meal to eat on Kailua Beach down the road. Parking: This is the only question I have, because I had called it in I just had my husband drop me off and I ran in and grabbed it while he waited in the car. But I don't know where to park if we were to dine in... looks like I'll need to go back and scope it out again ;) TIPS & TRICKS: * Don't forget to check into Yelp and redeem your taco!!!!

    Whoop here it is!

    This hole in the wall dive bar has da BEST Shredded Beef Burrito ( GET IT WET!) The service is always friendly and attentive when building your custom Mexican food made to order! Mondays are trivia night and Tuesday's Live music. No time to enjoy the local crowd for the fun. Ordered my food to go so I can get home to my girls (4-poodles) lol! Definitely my GO TO Shredded Beef Burrito Spot here in Kailua! Yum! Yum! Mouth is watering as I type this 5-STAR REVIEW!

    Burrito was good as usual. Service was quick and on point. Nice laid back decor. Their dog makes it more cozy.

    One of my favorite places to eat on island. The staff is so friendly and the food is consistently amazing. Great vibes and very reasonably priced. The staff will frequently find ways to ring us up to make the order cheaper too.

    The service was amazing, so helpful with understanding the menu and helpful with allergies/ diet restrictions! The food was fresh and clearly made with a lot of love, house made sauces, and the best kalua pork tacos! Also taco Tuesday offers great deals and will be coming back on Sunday for their breakfast burritos!! The ambiance included fun music and sporting games in the TV, overall great customer service.

    Burrito Bowl, House Margarita, Complimentary Chips and Salsa!

    We tried this spot on the east side for the first time and are already wishing they'd open a location in town! The flavors here are absolutely spot-on. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made our experience even more memorable. It's an order-at-the-counter setup with a cozy bar tucked to the side. The menu is a build-your-own style, with options for burritos, tacos, and bowls. We had the "Bomber" burrito and a burrito bowl with Kalua pig, and adding their guava BBQ sauce made it mouthwateringly delicious! The staff even let us sample their sauces and salsas on the side, which was such a nice touch. Their medium spice level was just right--perfectly balanced with a good kick. If you're in Kailua, this place is a must-try. There's also a large parking lot in the back (75 cents an hour with smart meters), so you can park easily and explore the area too!

    Dig this local spot and the super chill vibes of the place. Would love to catch some music here and jam out. One side is a bar and the other side is dishing out the food. Actually really enjoyed that the bowl my food came in was like a dish you'd have at home it added extra cozy feel. Yum. My bartender was also the owner I believe and she made me an awesome drink I don't recall the name of because we made it half and half I think.. let's just say I had a doggone goooooooooooooooddd day after 2 of them. LOL! Always nice to catch up with friends new and old and this is a decent place to do just that. Let's goooooooooo

    Ask the Community - Bowles Burritos

    For taco Tuesday, is it $2 per taco or $2 for each little tray w 2 tacos and the chips?

    It's $2 a taco

    Does Bowles Burritos deliver?

    No they do not, but you can get one of the local delivery companies to deliver it for you. I see Bite Squad in there all the time picking up orders!

One of my friends is a regular here-- and she got a round of tequila shots for everyone. I tried to get the attention of the bartender on my own without luck since it was so busy, so it's nice to be rolling with a windward side friend. We did end up leaving shortly after because it was very crowded (on Halloween, as expected) and just wasn't the vibe. People may say that 3 stars is harsh, but for a dive bar that's exactly where the bar is. I would go again, but not without a good group with me.

She described it as a place out of a Stephen King novel and she was right. It was a wonderful mix of a biker bar, military bar and a few locals. The drinks were good, bartenders were friendly music was happening and there's dart boards to keep you entertained. It's definitely a fun place to visit. They have a small parking lot right in front of the place and Apple street parking and other parking nearby. There's even a food truck that parks close by on weekends if you want something to snack on. They also sell chips and beer nuts. It's not my kind of place but definitely worth checking out if you are into a authentic dive bar experience.

    Exactly perfect for what we were looking for. First and foremost on the list for our search, was…read morewe hoped to find a place that had televised sports (both Monday Night Football and the World Series were on--but remember, this is Hawaii--way-out in the Pacific, so live-games come on in the afternoon or even earlier). Multiple screens make it so there is not a bad seat in the house. We also hoped to find a place with more of a "neighborhood/locals" energy to chill and relax our tired dogs (feet) in...and also, if it wasn't asking too much, hoped that it would have a fun vibe. (*Check those criteria off). "Icing on the cake", for us would be if the location had decent food. (Check that one off and put an exclamation point behind it--as the nachos we had were, "Fire".) As fate would have it, a lucky break was to be had as we walked in to the very-full bar. There, before us, were two stools at the bar (*the last remaining spots in the place) and they happened to be open. Side note: The bar has a speak-easy attached to it, and one day, we are gonna try it. Going there has been mentioned a few times when we have chatted with locals and tourists regarding memorable and unique things to do. Our servers were pleasant and accommodating despite the fact that the place was "choke widd plenty-kine cust-a'mah" (local pidgin for, full of customers). It's a hard balancing act to make patrons feel welcomed, but also not leave other thirsty tables waiting for too long. The two pretty blondes working that afternoon did a fantastic job at this. My seasonal sour beer hit all the right notes, and my wife seemed to enjoy her less exotic tap beer (Blue moon with an orange slice--served ice cold). There is a ton of beers to choose from here. Lighting in the Kailua Tavern is kinda darkish (not a problem, as I like me a dark bar sometimes). The locals were very-welcoming. One guy offered his table to us when he noticed our food had arrived and our plates were a bit pinned in. Also, anyone who happened to be sitting near us immediately engaged in friendly banter about the games. One guy of Tongan decent, who was probably 6'5" and had muscles piled-on to his massive frame came over and leaned in very close to ask, "Hey DEN, Bradah, YOU MIND FOR IF I GO DANCE WICH YOU DATE?" (*That didn't happen, I thought channeling a classic moment from the bar-scene in, Animal House, would be funny...but like the Toronto Blue Jays in the late innings of last night's game, "Swing and a miss". ) The Kailua Town Tavern was the opposite of a swing and a miss for us. It was fun and a good place to "chill"; the vibe was what we had hoped for; and of special note were the steak strips on the nachos, as they were superb.

Beautiful decor of imitation plants that even the bathrooms were beautiful especially the women's bathroom by the kitchen. Even the Men's bathrooms were decorated. It's something you should see! You wouldn't even think there's a place like this in Kailua. There were a few steps to the door of the restaurant but as we exit the waitress let my mom through the back which had no stairs but a ramp leading to the side parking along the restaurant right side, since she was using a walker. I first came with my friend for dinner and I came with my mom for brunch after her dentist appointment, because I wanted to show her what became of the beloved Four Star Chop Suey decades ago. Brunch menu was not the usual breakfast items that we were used to, but I ordered what I thought she would like best. We had Breakfast Hash with potatoes, sausage, cheese, eggs, bell peppers but the sauce was a little spicy for mom. There were ingredients in the sauce which maybe was too much for mom. Citrus mint fruit salad, and Southern Chicken Biscuit and Gravy. The gravy was different.fitness good but, I preferred the dinner selection when I came with a friend who traveled all the way from Kapolei for some shared dishes and appetizers. She really liked it and it was flavorful and unique. We had the following dishes: Local Braised Oxtail Patatas Bravas Seared Poke nachos Seasonal Hummus Deconstructed Baklava Cheesecake Hiusemade breads Citrus mint fruit salad I would order everything again! The Oxtail was flavorful and delicious, The homemade breads were so warm and fresh. The breads were served with the seasonal hummus, and I love the citrus mint dressing on the fruits! So refreshing! Night time was busy and we didn't have reservations, so we were lucky we didn't have those high top table and chairs . Best to have reservations for dinner. Weekends have night entertainment in the bigger dining area. We came earlier, but as the night went on, it got busier and our waitress was also assisting other customers in the other room, so we were missed . Service could have been better. Not too many of my townie friends had made it to this side but it's a nice place to dine at to experience their food and beautiful ambiance! There were a few side parking stalls along the right wall of the restaurant, otherwise you would need to find street parking. There's a nearby 24 hour municipal parking lot and it's still a quarter of 20 minutes. This restaurant is not in the main Kailua town area. If you haven't been to Kailua, Kailua is a nice town to try all these different restaurants. You be surprised and pleased. They are closed on Monday & Tuesday. Brunch is on weekends from 9 am to 1 pm. Otherwise they open from Wednesday thru Sunday from 4pm to closing at 9pm and on Friday & Saturday nights they are opened til 11pm.

The setting: I really like the vibe they went with for valentines and the decor, I like the lowlight setting as well. The banyan tree decor in the middle of the restaurant was a nice touch. Service: our host and our waiter were awesome, very pleasant and helpful. The food: it was a fixed menu due to Valentine's Day, I guess I did not see that when I booked the reservations or it was listen on the open table app. I wish I had known because I wanted to try other dishes. Anyways.. we got to each choose an appetizer so we got the coconut shrimp which omgggg really good, that sauce was a perfect touch, the shrimp was nicely crispy. We also got the beef tataki which was another fav I must say. The main entrees was ok, I only say this because we got the lamb and fish. The lamb came with 4 pieces but 2 were cooked good and the other 2 seemed like it could have been cooked a little longer. The fish to me was also over done and a little touch and hard. I will go back because I do wanna try other things on their menu. Overall we still made it a great night and will come back again.

But don't let that deter you. We waited quietly and patiently at the check in counter, and watched the staff walk between taking orders, delivering water and dishes. No one caught our eye to say we'll be with you in a minute, even if they stood right in front of us touching their counter pad. We thought we were being ignored. We didn't try to stop anyone, though. Others from behind squeezed past us to just get seats at the bar. However, we had a group of five wanting to dine in at a table. I watched as seated guests waited for someone to take their orders. As soon as staff were able to engage, we were greeted, and advised where we'd be seated once another staff member had mopped the floor by the table. And then the service was great from there. Well into our meal, which was delish(!), with water refills and requests fulfilled, we discovered there was a brand new gal on deck who was trying to be helpful with utensils and napkin prep, but no one had a chance to train during the lunch rush, which was above the normal crowd because of the wonderful community event right outside - the "I Love Kailua" street fair). Everything was just super busy. And I say lunch rush with tongue in cheek because it was well past the lunch hour and people were still lining up out the door. So glad everyone was patient and were able to enjoy their food and beverages (we weren't drinking but those margaritas looked fire!) in air conditioned comfort. Don't forget to ask for the salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Once staff are in rhythm, everything works out.
