One of my favorite restaurants and best Latin food I've had on island! I almost want to gate keep-…read morebut it's too good not to share. Service is good, staff is friendly and welcoming. Decorations are cute and fitting. The food is amazing, so so Ono! Would definitely go back and definitely recommend.

If you care about cleanliness and actual authentic food, avoid Coquito's Hawaii…read more They advertise authentic cuisine, but the food didn't taste authentic at all -- it was bland and disappointing. But honestly, that wasn't even the worst part. The hygiene was a huge red flag. I watched staff repeatedly touch their hair and face, then go straight back to handling food with no handwashing or gloves. I even saw money being handled and then food being prepped immediately after. There were also small kids running around in both the front and back areas, including near food prep, and people walking in and out of the kitchen who didn't even appear to be staff. Overall, the environment felt very unprofessional and unsanitary. It made the entire experience uncomfortable and hard to trust. Definitely not a place I'd return to.

We ordered at the counter and then sat at a table to wait for our order. We had a short wait because we came in on the earlier side of the dinner hour. We tried the bean and cheese pupusa, pollo asado and steak fajitas along with a couple of sodas. With tax and tip and because we paid with credit card it came out to over $70. Definitely on the pricier side, but all of our food was fresh and tasty, and the portions are large- we had plenty of steak and rice left. If you're not familiar with Salvadoran food, it's a lot more subtle in terms of flavors. Don't come in thinking of bold, in your face flavor. Perfect for people who are sensitive to spice. I believe this is the only Salvadoran spot on Oahu - happy we got to try it out!

Wait was appropriate for fresh food. Popusas were good, fresh and hot! I liked the yucca and…read morechicharron plate with curtido. I would have liked it better as a plate if they added black beans, cream and cheese on the side. The good thing is I could have ordered those as sides. My daughter in law loved the empanadas. I tasted it and it was better than I expected and it had mucho sabor (flavor). Curtido was not as hot(taste) For dessert we ordered horchata which was surprisingly amazing!!!!!! And the churros were even better! Hot, sweet and filled with yummy goodness! Bathroom is extra clean! No changing table. Pretty happy with this place. If you need Salvadorean food in Hawaii this will scratch your itch for it pretty good.

Should be a full eatery but they would likely get raped for rent and have homeless pissing on the front door nightly if it were. This town is going downhill fast with all the homelessness and meth use in that area. No effect on this business - the owner runs a solid place and the miscreants steer clear.

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!!

It's a small place with some seating both inside and outside. Service was relatively fast.
