This food truck always smells so good and always has a long line so I had to try it. I got the chicken and pork birria tacos and they were really big and worth it for the value. The flavor was yummy but it was also just way too salty. We must've gone on an off day because there's no way people keep coming back these tacos if they're this salty. I would come back again to see if the consomé was just off the day we came because the delicious flavors were definitely there. Service was great too.

It wasn't my idea to order tacos in Hawaii, but I'm glad my spouse did! The carne asada and the al pastor-ish (these had cinnamon?) tacos were good. But the vegan cauliflower taco with cashew cream was the biggest hit. So flavorful. It was parked outside Hotel Renew during our stay.

Love this taco truck so much! Check their Instagram page for locations and hours before you go, sometimes they have catering gigs and won't be at their usual spots. We went on Saturday around 12:30pm. We ordered 6 tacos and 2 Mexican cokes. There were around 3 orders before us but we got our food in about 20mins. The tacos are loaded with toppings and deliciously hot and fresh. The seasoning on the meats, the fresh veggies and the combinations of flavors and textures are spot on. Doesn't hurt that they're actually aesthetically pleasing, something that you wouldn't usually see in a taco! We have tried every type of taco on the menu and none of them miss. Take some chairs or a picnic blanket so you're comfortable while you wait. It's also nice to just sit in the park to eat, the large trees provide ample shade. Would definitely go more often if they were located closer to home.

My office loves Dos Jefes and is one of our Thursday go-tos. For the most part, they're on Bishop outside of Bank of Hawaii on Thursdays. I love their birria tacos. These tacos are HEFTY, the meat is moist, and it's super cheesy! It is quite oily though and makes me sleepy after lunch, so I also ordered a lighter fish taco on the side. I liked all the crunchy veggies on this, but the fish itself was pretty hard and dry. We came at 11:45, thinking we could beat the lunch rush, but the line was still super long. We probably waited over 30 minutes to get our food. Definitely come early or order ahead if you don't want to wait.

I recently hired Dos Jefes taco truck to treat our employees to a great lunch. Collin and his crew were absolutely the best. They were there early to set up and prepare and the event went off seamlessly. The food was so good that many of my employees were asking where to find them on a regular day. The Birria tacos were huge and so delicious, as were all of the street tacos they served up. Super reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend these guys without reservation. Go get you some Dos Jefes!!

Was able to catch the food truck when it was on Cooke Street thanks to my coworker. We piled the others into the car and off we went on our Taco Tuesday adventure!!! The service was great and we only waited about ten-fifteen minutes for our orders. I didn't want the cilantro lime cream sauce so they recommended the vegan sauce and it was good. This was my first time to try mustard seeds. I thought it was an interesting twist on a taco. Had two shrimp tacos for $5.50 each. They have some tables and chairs on the property where the food truck was parked.

Absolutely delicious! These tacos hit the spot--super fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meats, and generous portion sizes. I tried nearly all of them, but my favorites were the pork birria, shrimp tacos, and carne asada. Each one was packed with bold, mouthwatering flavor. Their homemade hot sauce is fire--it's officially a staple in my fridge! It also makes great gifts (all my friends back home are requesting for more)! The service was friendly, and the overall vibe is chill and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their food and quality. If you're craving tacos, this is the spot. Already looking forward to my next visit! Pro tip: Check out their Instagram for their weekly schedule--it's usually posted every Monday.

Both my wife and I really like their pork tacos. We weren't expecting them to be at the park today, but we're glad they were.

Tacos! This food truck is parked downtown on Thursdays, I believe. The menu offers a variety of tacos: pollo, carnitas, carne asada, birra, and fish. They make it to order, and there is typically a short wait, but so ono. These street style tacos are overflowing with meat, onions, and delicious spices. The owners are working and are very friendly. They cook up quite an authentic experience. The A&B building has steps and places to sit or wait in the shade. Meters across or down the street if driving in.

Dos Jefes is our favorite Lunch truck on island. Imagine it is located at 3-4 different locations every week. They post which ones on IG. Typical hours are 10:30- 2:30 Tue, Thur, Sat. He reason to search them out is for the amazing Fish , Shrimp and birra tacos. So Good!! Matt the owner is super friendly and helpful. Enjoy!

Currently they're parked on Bishop Street in downtown on Thursdays (subject to change at any time, as food trucks regularly change their schedules). Check their Instagram page for the most updated information. I'm so glad they're in downtown. We really need more food trucks in the area to give more options for lunch. Key tip is to go early. Go before 12 if you can, because when I showed up 10 minutes before 12, there was just one group in front of me ordering. At12:05 there was a long line starting to form. They also do take phone orders but can't pick up when busy so best to just go early if you have a flexible schedule to do so. I had a great impression of the place even before I took a bite of my taco, because the guys at the truck are so nice and welcoming. I couldn't decide between birria tacos or street tacos (my friends know how indecisive I am) and I had no one to get it all and share with LOL. Since there was no line behind me, I asked what the recommendation is to try first since it was my first time. I know everyone hates getting asked that, but he really tried to help me figure out what I should get and I REALLY appreciated that. I was told that the surf and turf birria tacos are really good but big. So big that I may just eat one and save the other for later (good thing it keeps well). I didn't really want to save it (I know me, I'll stuff it down and regret eating so much later). So we decided on a pork taco and a shrimp taco. I'm not much of a taco person. I love tacos but I just love burritos more. I usually feel like I need to eat a bunch of tacos to be full, whereas half a burrito and I'm good. But these were so good! They were filled with meat. I should have counted how many shrimp I had, but it was definitely more than 5 pieces. The toppings and flavor were amazing. I can't wait to try everything else on their menu.

I love dos jefes. I am from California and I am Mexican. This truck was amazing. I recommend the fish taco, the birria and the shrimp tacos. I am in love with this truck. When I come to Hawaii I always eat here!

Kristi D.

OK WHAT. WAS. THAT?!?! If you have not tried Dos Jefes WHAT are you waiting for?! I've been following them for awhile and then my cuz recommended them but I was TODAY years old when I finally finally tried them. What a slick operation! They have totally figured it out! I had the surf and turf birria tacos and OMG. You'd think that would be too much for any taco to handle, but let me tell you - it just isn't. The shrimp in particular is spot on - perfectly grilled, not overcooked AT ALL. The consommé is super flavorful with just the right amount of spice. Every bite was perfection. Literally everything was amazing. Amazing! Oh AND they sell their house hot sauce from the truck too! Their schedule is posted right up there on their IG page so you have no good reason not to go. So see you there!

These street tacos are so good, they've become a weekly ritual for me. Every Saturday I go for a bike ride out around Diamond Head and Kahala and then stop by Triangle Park on the way home to get my Dos Jefes fix. I get so excited for it on Saturday morning that it helps motivate me to get out and get my workout ride in. I usually get the cauliflower tacos. They are so good! The toppings taste fresh and the sauce on top is awesome. The flavors compliment each other so well! Last week they were out of cauliflower tacos, so I tried a fish taco and a chicken taco instead of my usual. Both were unbelievably good! You really can't go wrong with any of them! read more

Really really good. Had the carnitas street tacos and my my were they great. The carnitas had the necessary crispy fatty layer on top and yet super juicy and moist. They gave a substantial amount of meat per taco as well. If you like pickled hot peppers, highly recommend you get those piled on top as it gives an added dimension and heat and it's free (just ask). So glad that I live right next door and can get my Mexican craving fix. read more

The pricing for the food is also reasonable considering how big the portions are and it's made to order fresh. The owners are very friendly which just adds to the great experience.

I honesty gave up on tacos in Hawaii and said I wouldn't try any more places...but a Cali girl cannot stay away from tacos. Dos Jefes popped up in Yelp and although I was apprehensive, the ratings looked good, plus they had a vegan taco. Parking was a little difficult to find, but I'm so glad I went. I ordered 3 cauliflower tacos. They were amazing, full of flavor, and had a nice texture with the cauliflower, cabbage and sauce. I hope to see Dos Jefes expand! read more

Coming from Southern California, I take my tacos pretty seriously. I've lived in Hawaii for the last 10 years and have pretty much given up hope of finding good tacos here. But Dos Jefes have come to the rescue! Fresh homemade tortillas are a game-changer. Put just about anything on one of the tortillas and it's sure to be delicious. I've been here several times and my favorite changes every time, from the chicken to the pork to the vegan tacos (...and I'm a pretty dedicated carnivore). I always leave full and happy with what I ordered. I definitely recommend trying them all, they are all very different and very delicious. You will not be disappointed! read more

History

Established in 2020.

We are two hombres (Dos Jefes), originally from the West Coast, who have a passion for fresh and locally sourced foods. Our flagship menu items are tacos that we have been making for many years. Along with our more traditional style tacos, we incorporate vegan and vegetarian options to satisfy our health conscientious customers. Along with locally sourced ingredients, we use only the freshest produce and products to create our menu. Between us both, we have a combined 35 years in the food and beverage industry. We have always worked for an employer, but now we feel it is our time to be our own bosses, hence the name Dos Jefes (Two Bosses). We also share a love for Hawaii and call it our home since 2000. We love the people and culture of our Aina and that shows in the foods we create and the people we enjoy to meet. Everything we do is a reflection of that love and passion we have for the people and culture of this home we call Hawaii. Aloha!

Are they still operating? Tried to call the number but just got some weird mumbling recording. I used to stop by on my way from work at least once a week for dinner. I have not seen them in quite a while.

Accidental find in the Kaka'ako Farmers Market parking lot near Kewalo Basin. Odd hours but lots of parking available as well as sit-down dining options. Staff working were fun and quick with the food. Look forward to trying their other menu item next time, quesadillas!

I believe that Mexican food is only as good as the tortilla, so I asked him where he got it and he said "Thyda's - bro you have to go!" Well, today I finally went and let me tell you - that random beach man was absolutely right! I got the carnitas burrito and it was simply perfect. At $12, I'd say it was reasonably priced too. Service was fast and Thyda and Magid - the husband and wife owners - were so friendly and chill. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do and love whipping up great food with a great attitude. They talked to us while we ate and shared a little of their 10 year taco stand journey. I wasn't surprised to learn they spent years in LA. The food definitely holds up to LA standards. Head's up - there's no tables and not much seating or parking. We ate on a small step near where you order. Also note that they have Taco Tuesday deals. Can't believe I've been missing out on this place for so long and I can't wait to go back! Check it out

Flavor was solid, portion was generous, and the food itself is the main reason I keep coming back. The ambiance is chill and local. Most of the afternoon crowd seemed to know each other, which gives the place a comfortable neighborhood feel. That said, the inside is a little dingy and could probably use a renovation. The issue on this visit was the service. When we got there, it was pretty empty, maybe 4 or 5 people sitting at the bar. The guy working behind the bar seated us, but then never brought menus, never brought water, and never came back to take our order. When my friend tried waving him down, he ignored us. Eventually another employee came in, and the bartender just told him, "Go take his order," without acknowledging us at all. I don't know if he was only working the bar that day, but he could have at least brought water, menus, or simply said someone would be right with us. Instead, the whole interaction came across as dismissive and unnecessary. Food was very good as always, but service matters too. Based on this visit, I'd call it 3 stars overall.

Whats wrong with you guys? You have a whole bunch of people waiting for your truck at your usual spot on Bishop Street and no sign of your truck. So you think we have nothing better to do than chase your truck around town? I don't use Instagram, and I will not use Instagram, so I guess you don't want us as a customer.
