Friendly fast service and the food was delicious! We had the carnitas bowl, carnitas bowl, and fish tacos. It was all delicious and fresh. Definitely a little bit hidden, right next to the bigger Mexican restaurant, but a total gem! read more

This is one of our go to spots when we're visiting the island!! Always amazing food and great service.

Food is delish! Fresh homemade tortillas, delicious pico, yummy beans, all made with love. Definitely worth the wait and the visit!

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 read more

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! read more

El Taco Feliz - Shrimp and Mahi tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Small food truck selling Mexican food. I had the fish (Mahi) tacos because of the reviews. I think I got some older Mahi which did have a distinct fishy taste. The fresh pico, guacamole, and rice and beans were very tasty and I could tell that a fresher fish would have made my experience much more enjoyable. read more

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. read more

The tacos and quesadilla at this food truck were fresh and tasty. The food truck seemed clean and the women working there were friendly. They were cute picnic tables and it was easy to eat there. Only issue was that they don't have access to a bathroom. read more

Very good fresh chicken bowl and shrimp tacos. Highly recommend. It was delicious and not heavy

Wow, this place really hit the spot!!! Super reasonable pricing, and the food was simply delicious. We ordered carnitas burrito and the asada and carnitas tacos. So good! We talked down to Big Wave Dave's for cocktails and to eat (they let you bring your own food and eat there on days their kitchen isn't open). They did have cute picnic tables we could have eaten out right out front of the food truck, but our group wanted cocktails! The gals working the food truck were super nice a read more

This was a pretty awful eating experience. It's very pricey, I think it was close to $15 for 2 tacos and rice and beans, although I was grateful for the rice and beans as the tacos were so measly I wouldn't have gotten full. You can't mix and match the tacos. I had carne asada and the meat was fine but there was so little of it in the taco. It had "pico de gallo" on top which for them was literally chopped white onion and cilantro. That's all. My husband had ahi tacos and they had something that tasted like a mayonnaise-type coleslaw? Again with very little meat. So disappointing. Skip this and go to Little Fatty's down the street (except sadly it's only open Thursday-Sunday!). read more

This place was the best food we had in Kauai. I ordered the veggie burrito. The man let me know the rice had chicken broth and wanted to make sure that was OK. I thought that was thoughtful. My husband got the al pastor burrito. They were both outstanding. Actual real homemade food. Delicious! Totally recommend. Keep in mind, real food takes time to make but worth the wait. Only took like 10 minutes. read more

Stopped by for lunch. We had fish tacos and shrimp salad. Both very delicious. Tacos had nice size pieces of fish.

Wonderful food!! Super cute little set up with the picnic tables and great location. Salsa was delicious wish we would have grabbed more!

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! read more

Fish tacos were amazing! Family owned. Would definitely recommend. Authentic Mexican.

Had a chicken burrito with no pico, well mixed and good flavor. My family enjoyed the tacos they got. Didn't need to wait too long and the sitting area was fairly clean. 3 picnic tables right next to the truck and the umbrellas had good coverage. read more

This place is literally a hidden gem, meaning if you blink you will miss it! Very small family-owned and operated food truck with picnic table seating and absolutely delicious Mexican delicacies in the heart of Kapa'a. I always get the smothered burrito mojado with carnitas and it is oh so yummy and satisfying. Fish tacos are tremendous too! Skip the trendy place next door and give Abuelitas comida mexicana a try and you will not be disappointed read more

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. read more

I would like to give this place 5 stars because it's really good! But they were out of carnitas and that's what I really wanted. I got a carne asada burrito instead. It was awesome tasting! I tried one of the hot sauces and it was hella spicy. Maybe I shoulda read the bottle before dumping whatever on my burrito. There are 3 tables to sit at. I was a little bothered by the ants on the tables. But this is an outdoor place, not an inside restaurant. So it's a pretty simple thing to just grab some food, eat, and leave. I'd definitely come back and hopefully there will be carnitas! read more

El Taco Feliz - Carne asada burrito - Food Trucks Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Food was delicious, service was excellent. Great place to eat on our way to the airport.

We stopped by this food truck since this received high ratings and were attracted to the cute ambience and lights. It's in this cute area where there's a lot of food trucks and cute shops. It took 15ish minutes to get our food. Diablo burrito ($14.50): this was the best dish out of the 3. It had a nice kick to it with shrimp. There could've been more shrimp however but the flavor was all there. The burrito was also pretty small. There's bigger and better tacos in the mainland. Feliz bowl with mahi ($14.50): this was so salty dish. I got tired of this bowl fast. Mahi mahi tacos ($12.50): only came with 2 tacos. Small portions. The food truck is known for their fish and this fish was dry and bland. The tacos didn't have much flavor. read more

El Taco Feliz - Diablo burrito, Feliz bowl (mahi), mahi mahi tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

The best Mexican food out here in kauai. Honestly it does not compare to any other place. My husband and I tried the Mahi Mahi taco plate with rice and beans and it's to die for. We also had the Carne Asada tacos super delicious and so tasty. They have a spicy sauce that's just a killer. If you are looking for Authentic Mexican you must try. Prices are reasonable and definitely worth it. By the way there's a Mexican Restaurant next to them and yes we also tried there food but honestly over priced and it did not taste as good and fresh as this spot. Coming from someone who is picky and delicate with her food this is a 5+ star...must try! read more

This place is legit. It's a food truck with 3 bench-style tables outside. I highly recommend getting something saucy here as I think all their secrets are in the sauce. I got fish tacos per the guy's rec and it was super average. But the burrito mojado - OH SO DELICIOUS. That sauce was EVERYTHING. It took a while to get the food, so not the best place if you're super hungry. There was a Mexican family patiently waiting alongside us so you know it's legit ;) read more

Really delicious tacos! They're big and full of fresh ingredients like avocado. I got the veggie tacos and it comes with 2- I only wish there were more.

The area is also really beautiful with flowers, plants, decorations and a cute cat when I went. read more

I don't know how ANYONE is giving this place less than 5 stars. I have lived in both Texas and Mexico and have had my fair share of authentic Mexican food and EL TACO FELIZ is the real deal from her homemade tortillas to every single touch of seasoning, cilantro, fresh guacamole. This place cannot be beat. I also saw someone complain about the wait for food. Every time I've gone my taco platter never takes longer than 5 minutes but if you have to wait or there is a line of people waiting for food... Good things don't happen fast. There are fast food places for that. This woman is cooking everything solo and her son runs her orders. I have YET to find this tasty of Mexican food anywhere else on island and I am a local so I've tried a few spots. If you're visiting YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THIS FOOD! Wow! Best truck in town. She has vegan, vegetarian and beef, chicken and shrimp options. Perfect for the whole family. read more

Seriously shocked and amazed by the Mexican food here and that say a lot coming from LA San Diego area where I have had my fair share of great Mexican food. My husband got us 2 fish tacos since I was skeptical about the Mexican food here. It turned out to be some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. The mahi fish was juicy and flavorful with the perfect flavors. I kept thinking about it afterwards and had to come back to try a fully meal. The shrimp and chorizo burrito and carne asada sopes were also delicious. They know how to make really good Mexican food here! Highly highly recommend this place when you're in Kauai!! Also the hot sauce is house made and it has a good kick to it. So if you like spicy definitely ask for it. read more
