Ordered the lomo saltado and wow--this was comfort food done right…read more The beef was tender, juicy, and perfectly stir-fried, with that signature smoky wok flavor. The onions and tomatoes were cooked just right--soft but still vibrant--and everything was coated in a savory, slightly tangy sauce that soaked beautifully into the rice. And the fries? Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and totally addictive once they mingled with the sauce. Every bite was rich, hearty, and satisfying without feeling greasy. This is the kind of dish you crave again the second you're done eating it. Definitely coming back for this.

I think they are there Tuesday-Friday and Sunday. This Peruvian style chicken is super moist and flavorful. It is also so tender that flimsy biodegradable plastic forks can cut thru it! Comes with long grain rice and a spicy mayo. Half a chicken plate is $12, full chicken is $20. Pictured is half a chicken, which is two meals for me. I might add this to my lunch rotation but just order the rico rico chicken and pack a salad or some kinda grain. Worth pulling over for! Location: King Street and Coolidge. Ready by 11:00 am.

Blink and it's easy to miss. While there may not be much of a parking lot, stopping at the Peruvian Corner is like hanging out at your aunty's house, spacious and cozy interior with a television, children's books, and, music to match the experience. So rare so go to a cultural restaurant that plays music to match the cuisine. Speaking of cuisine, SO 'ONO. The casava chips are a family favorite but to be honest we enjoyed everything we ordered. Will return if we're ever in the area.

Outstanding. I hate to even write a review because I want Castro's to be the hidden gem that it is…read more I discovered Castro's on a whim of wandering around Hawaii. The location off the beaten path is what originally drew me in. The exterior patio seating with blue umbrellas made me curious. Once I walked inside, I instantly knew the Cuban food was going to hit. Not only did it hit, it exploded into space and I returned 4 times on my vacation and recruited family members to go multiple times as well. On my first solo visit, I was going in to strictly get coffee and then decided to give a main dish a shot which was the traditional cuban. Let me tell you - I wish my husband was with me as the portions here are out of this world. This dish came out on a colorful dish on top of a bamboo board with fruit galore! It looked like a painting that I shouldn't touch but rightfully did. Needless to say, I had a leftover box on day 1. I then returned more times and want to highlight the Monte Castro sandwich which I fortunately or unfortunately split with my husband. Unreal!! It was drizzled in honey, served on the bamboo plate, had double decker bread and a plethora of fruit and some picked veggies on the side. I don't want to say more because I want everyone to go and split this meal with a loved one. It is award winning deserving. For my 3rd visit, I had the papaya bowl and once again - it was fantastic and required a to-go box as well. I'm so sad to know I'll never get to try the tres leche French toast as my vacation is coming to a close and there are so many more items I wanted to try. Castro's knows how to do it and I really think all restaurants should take notes from this establishment. From the water guns to spray the birds away to the dining service experience to the quality and taste of the menu item - chef's kiss. Thank you, thank you!!! Best meals in Hawaii hands down. OUTSTANDING!!

This is my first review of 2026!…read more Tonight I enjoyed the sticky rice with chicken anticucho and it is my favorite meal of 2026 so far. The chicken thighs were beautifully seasoned and slightly charred. The meat was cooked all the way through yet still juicy with bone in thigh. The purple sticky rice was perfectly done and I love the texture of sticky rice in general. The plate also came with sliced cucumbers and pickled mustard greens (reminiscent of Vietnamese pickled mustard greens - but in a much more vibrant green color). My favorite part of the meal was the tart and aromatic sauce that came in the meal. If you're not a fan of lime juice and fish sauce, you may want to use sparingly. However, I was thoroughly enjoying the sauce and when accompanied with a bit of the mustard greens, it toned down the sour aspect of the flavor profile. Overall, so delicious and I would love to find them again and enjoy more of their menu items!

I can give you their phone number if you message me. -Prices: a little bit on the high side but its not your typical food so its worth it :) -Service: There is only 1-2 people in the truck, sometimes they are really busy so not much time to talk but they are friendly :) -Food: MUST GET THE CEVICHE! its really good and you can add "papa a la huancaina" so you make it a combo. *Tip try to go on Fridays or Saturdays, fish is fresher ;) *The seafood paella is also really good!!

I spent $42 dollars today on a Pastele Plate with an Ala Carter order of their Tripe stew. In no way am I here to knock them, or hate. I am here just stating facts. With the price hike of food in general in Hawaii. It's crazy to see where Jackie's Pricing has become so high. Do note that I went during peak aloha Friday hours today as well. Absolutely no parking in Waiamalu, had to drive around twice to get a parking stall, which took nearly 12 minutes. Only to walk in and see Jackie's filled with two parties. I am not saying an empty restaurant means lack of service. Their food has always been great. But to see their pricing, and the emptiness of their restaurant. Makes me wonder how much longer they will last if they need to hike their prices up again. Best of luck to them.

Saw a food truck at Eat the Street that I've never seen around Yelp so I decided to give it a…read moretry...Asian fused with Peruvian? Talk about interesting. This Eat the Street was pork and their main pork dish was Asado...unfortunately they ran out around 7pm when I got there, so I didn't get any pork. Lame. Anyways, onto the food! I decided to go with their Chicken Saltana. I honestly didn't read the description, but I remember that I wanted something reasonably cheap and somewhat healthy. Can't really go wrong with chicken, peppers, onions, salad and rice. I pride myself on only rating places on their food, unless their service or something else is just absolutely horrendously terrible. But I would like to mention that the wait for my plate was about 35 minutes...standing...in a crowded parking lot...hungry...and tired. I expected more from a food truck, I mean come on now, this isn't a sit down restaurant, you gotta get the order and make it quick and good. At least the live music was good and the moon was quite nice. Opening my plate, I see a pretty nice plate of food. Reasonable amount of chicken and peppers and onions, generous servings of rice and salad, and a little container of what appeared to be dressing. It was all spiced with what I assumed to be Peruvian spices and also cilantro and a sweet oil based sauce used to cover the chicken and veggies and rice. The chicken looked a little plain, but the sweet sauce and veggies and cilantro really went well with the juicy chicken and the Peruvian rice (Twas a little crispy/hard, but very tasty) was pretty delicious. However, the salad was just....bleh...The veggies were fine, but the dressing was basically salt incarnate...and I'm 80% sure I detected a hint of fish, which was not good at all. For $8.90 though...not bad for everything. Overall, pretty okay meal. Without the salad, I'd give it 3.5 stars. Not bad, but nothing too spectacular. I must remember to try the other trucks at Eat the Street next time, I didn't check Yelp to see which trucks were good at the event...and I believe it cost me this time. Oh well...there is always next time.
