Stopped by on a random Tuesday not even realizing it was taco Tuesday. I suspect part of the reason…read morewhy it was so busy with dine in & take out orders. Pick a seat - plenty of options ranging from booths to tables for 2, 4, 6 & above. Furniture is a bit outdated but it gives off a homey feel. Greeted promptly, drinks & pupus ordered & served swiftly. Dinner orders placed shortly after & after seeing the multiple take out orders going out the door, we understood why it took a bit longer for our food to be served. No biggie! Prices are affordable, portions are filling (we had plenty of leftovers). Great taste, pleasing to the eye. Plenty of parking Go early!

Absolutely LOVE Don Goyo's! I always drop in on a whim and I am never ever disappointed! I'm glad…read morethey have so many options on the menu bc I need to get through each of them! So far the chimichanga, enchiladas, chile relleno have been our go tos! Their salsa is soooo good, I need to keep from licking the bowl! Service is always great, short and sweet, friendly and welcoming. Perfect for a quick drop in after shopping (or while waiting 100 years for your car lol) and for a great margarita!

I decided to have dinner and drinks with one of my best friends after a photo shoot at Kailua beach park. We had no issue at all with parking which is always a win when you're in the middle of Kailua, My friend and I both ordered the Li Hing mui margarita blended and you know it lasted us the whole time we sat at our table lol. Their margaritas are served in fishbowl glasses and so yummy! I also ordered their Birria tacos with consommé. It was okay. I felt like I tasted more oil and grease and couldn't put my finger on the taste of the consommé sauce. Our waitress was so kind and upbeat. She offered us another round to which we declined and had a smile on her face every time she came around. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area for a drink or a great time

Food is seriously yum and plentiful. Decor is totally…read morecantina. The bar was packed. Outside seating was full as well. Restrooms were feeling the heat. As were the staff. But don't let that deter you. We waited quietly and patiently at the check in counter, and watched the staff walk between taking orders, delivering water and dishes. No one caught our eye to say we'll be with you in a minute, even if they stood right in front of us touching their counter pad. We thought we were being ignored. We didn't try to stop anyone, though. Others from behind squeezed past us to just get seats at the bar. However, we had a group of five wanting to dine in at a table. I watched as seated guests waited for someone to take their orders. As soon as staff were able to engage, we were greeted, and advised where we'd be seated once another staff member had mopped the floor by the table. And then the service was great from there. Well into our meal, which was delish(!), with water refills and requests fulfilled, we discovered there was a brand new gal on deck who was trying to be helpful with utensils and napkin prep, but no one had a chance to train during the lunch rush, which was above the normal crowd because of the wonderful community event right outside - the "I Love Kailua" street fair). Everything was just super busy. And I say lunch rush with tongue in cheek because it was well past the lunch hour and people were still lining up out the door. So glad everyone was patient and were able to enjoy their food and beverages (we weren't drinking but those margaritas looked fire!) in air conditioned comfort. Don't forget to ask for the salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Once staff are in rhythm, everything works out.

Probably the closest to true Mexican street tacos you'll find in Mexico. The tacos were simple but cooked and seasoned well. The salsa had a nice spice and flavor as well. The cilantro and onions went well with the carnitas. Service was fast as well. Looking forward to trying out more items on the menu.

The tacos were a generous portion and tasted good! I was thrilled when he asked for no cilantro the order was accurate (harder to do than one would think). Nice to have more Mexican food options on this side of the island. Hopefully this place lasts a long time as the restaurants in this shopping complex change often. I would go back and get more tacos for sure.

Was a little overdone for me, but the taste was great. Hubs coulda used more salt, but with a squeeze of lime, I thought was perf. We aren't usually cerviche people... but this one cucumbers were still super crisp. YUM. Perfect. Baby ate the Tri Tip, some burger, but loooooved the potatoes. I don't know how they were prepared since I don't cook potatoes often...But was nice and salty on the outside and soft on the inside. Baby also liked the guac...she basically used the chip as her spoon. Salsa was too hot for her, but I thought had a nice and fairly mild kick. I know some of the other salsas kick a little harder. Still one of my fave Mexican places in Hawaii...

Parking isn't the greatest, but just try to get free evening street parking either the street before or the street after. It's a little walk, but just more time to enjoy your company during a little evening stroll. Not every Mexican place has horchata, but this place got it from scratch. Make sure to leave space for their rep fried ice cream. It's a great atmosphere. They often have live music here. More blues or yacht rock style. Make sure to stop by when you're in the area. Aloha.
