A hidden taco paradise

The food was amazing, we had a party of 6 and we had Asada, Mahi and pastor and we all loved them. The tortillas were fresh and savory and so were the meats. We also order the side of rice and beans which were great also. I would recommend paying the extra dollar for guacamole on the tacos. We ate the food before deciding to due the review sorry

Shrimp and Mahi tacos
Carly B.

Delicious and fresh tacos made for a quick lunch after the beach! There was no line and we ordered the shrimp and mahi tacos, about a 5-10 min wait. The green hot sauce was also amazing!

Quesadilla with beef
Amy H.

Absolutely delicious tacos, rice, and beans - *totally* hit the spot and would come back. The fish burrito was "ok" according to my husband, so I'd definitely go with the tacos. The guac and other dips were fantastic too, and they have really cute tables to eat at eight in front of the truck. A super friendly pair of ladies run the spot, and cook everything fresh. Note that they don't have a bathroom, so plan your breaks accordingly.

One chicken & one fish taco

The most amazing homemade tortillas. We loved everything we tried (fish & chicken tacos & chicken quesadillas. Made fresh and quick. Such a cute place and the service is outstanding.

Awesome local spot! We got fish, shrimp and carne asada tacos and they were all delicious. Definitely recommend to check it out, won't disappoint.

Chimichanga Al pastor plate 18$ comes with chimichanga fresh ingredients on top along w beans and rice on the side

Was driving everywhere to find somewhere to eat. Was gonna eat at our usual spot Bread and Deli in kukui grove (their clam chowder bowls for 8$ is so good) but they were closed (everything closes super early on Kauai aside from all the tourist spots in Kapaa) we settled for this Mexican food truck and it was really good. 18$ is a little steep for me but it is in kapaa and a big portion. The chimichanga was huge and I always love having something fresh to go with it as all the meat beans and rice can be heavy. On top they put lettuce, tomatoes some guacamole cheese and sour cream. The beans on the side were a little bland and the rice is well, rice. The meat was very tender and all in all good. I was surprised that they didn't have horchata, my boyfriend and I always look forward to trying new horchatas from different Mexican eatery's so we were a little bummed out about that. Since Kapaa is a busy road and it's kind of off the main road it's a little hard to find parking. I think there was a parking lot across the street but hard to tell, we just pulled over on the side of the food truck. The server was very nice and their menu was displayed on the side of the truck which I love. I always have to visually see what I'm getting so there's no surprises when I receive the food!

Mahi mahi

Gourmet tacos? Yes, please! These bad boys are guaranteed to hit the spot. Tried shrimp, carnitas, and mahi mahi...and that salsa verde is fire!! Literally. Love!!!

Shrimp burrito

I stopped by here yesterday with my wife for dinner. We had tried to go to El Taco Felix the day prior but they were out of rice and so the wait would have been around 40 minutes (30 minutes for the rice on top of 10 minutes we were already waiting) and so we decided to come back the next night. Taco Felix is a permanent food truck right on the Kuhio Highway. On the day that we were there they had at least 2 people working, maybe 3, and also had 3 covered picnic tables you could sit at and eat out front. For dinner on this day I decided to go with the Diablo burrito while my wife went with the shrimp tacos special. After placing my order I was told they had no asada and no chorizo on that day and so I would have to pick something else. Ultimately I ended up choosing a shrimp burrito for my dinner. It took about 15 minutes from ordering until our food was ready with the tacos coming out a couple of minutes before the burrito. My wife ended up loving the tacos, especially the fresh made tortillas they were on as well as the shrimp. Then my burrito was pretty good as well. My shrimp were sweet and well cooked and everything else you would expect in a burrito was inside it as well. The bottom line from me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our food and I would like to try that Diablo burrito at some point.

Somehow managed to be a complete idiot and ordered from the wrong location. The woman at the…read morecounter was much nicer than she needed to be at my mistake and called the other location to let them know. She charged me only for the Hapa Poke Bowl since it was cold but not for the Anykine Bento which was extremely generous. The poke bowl was fantastic! Fish was fresh and delicious. My partner enjoyed the Anykine bento and just wished there was a larger portion. Will definitely return on our next visit to the island.

The employee who took my order was rude and even yelled at me because she couldn't hear me over the loud music playing in the food truck. I ordered the poke bowl special, which was supposed to come with their famous tots, but the tots were missing from my order. I considered going back to ask for them, but honestly, I didn't because I was worried the employee would be even ruder than she was when I placed my order. I also tipped 20% because I truly believe in taking care of people who work in the service industry. We also tried the katsu musubi and the fried musubi, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. We've visited both locations, and while the food was excellent at each, the Poʻipū location lacked the warm, welcoming spirit you'd hope to experience while visiting Kauaʻi. That said, much aloha to Kauaʻi. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back.
