We went to the brick and mortar location in Kapa'a as our first meal on vaycay in Kauai-- as someone raised in California, who has now lived in O'ahu for 10 years, let me just say... This is one of the best Mexican spots in the entire state of Hawai'i. . I might make my husband take us back so I can have chilaquiles before we leave. We had fish tacos & birria tacos for lunch-- . Each was good in its own way. They do NOT skimp on portions here, this place is a Kauai must-eat! read more

Fillo’s - Birria tacos for lunch. - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Going to be one of our must-stops in Kauai. We kind of accidentally ended up here when looking for lunch on our way back to resort and I'm so glad we did. Service was great - the man taking the order was very friendly and helpful with good recommendations. We ended up ordering the carne asada fries and birria tacos. My tacos were delicious but the carne asada fries were the WINNER. So absolutely addicting - they have tons of meat and good sauces layered on top of them. We brought them back to our resort balcony and it was one of the best meals we had on our trip. Highly recommend! read more

Fillo’s - Fish tacos, asada tacos and the amazing pork belly burrito! - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Craving tacos and stumbled across this establishment that use to be a food truck so you know it has to be good! I got their queso birra tacos and they were sooo good. It comes with two tacos, consume, and side of beans and rice. I liked the tacos so much that I came here twice during my 4 days here for my visit. Would definitely come back here my next visit! read more

Absolute best fish tacos on island. So good that we came here twice in 1 week. They give you nice thick pieces of local caught grilled fish with lots of cabbage, pico and sauce. When you dine in, they give you cute little squeeze bottles of red and green sauce. We enjoyed the red sauce more since it was a bit spicier! read more

Fillo’s - Fish tacos yummmm - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

This place has a one of a kind vibe on the island, channeling their Mexican culture through the music and decor. We like their fish tacos and birria tacos. They give an abundance of cabbage with their tacos which I enjoy, and they give you 2 different bottles of hot sauce (red and green), we both enjoyed the red more as it was spicier with good flavor. We first tried this place last year and we make it a point to come here at least once when we're on island. We ate here twice during our week long stay. The first time we came, a nice guy was working who generously gave me the broth to try that comes with another birria menu item and it was delicious. We look forward to trying their burritos and burrito bowls when we are back next year for our 5th annual trip! read more

My wife and I have been coming here since they were a food truck and always supported you guys. I always tip 15-20% even though its counter service because I want them to succeed. I go here at least 3-4 times a month and never had an issue. I never complain about the pricing because I enjoy the food and normally the counter service is good. But today the girl made me pay $1.50 for a side of salsa when she barely gave me any for my order!!! After I tipped $15 bucks for counter service!!!! Absolutely crazy. I have never seen her there before but I can promise we will never go back because of this. Since when does salsa cost $1.50? Especially with pricing like this and you give skimpy salsa portions with your food. Yall have never done that in all the years I have been coming here!!! Look at the picture of the salsa she gave us and then charged me when I went back in and asked for more. I bought dinner for 3 people and she gave me 1/4 filled cups of 4 red and 5 green. Yall just lost a loyal customer who tips every time and gives your spot $300-400 per month for years now. Im blown away how she treated me at the register today. Hope it was worth it for a dollar fifty. Will update if someone in that places acts like they give a damn and reaches out. That is super disappointing. read more

Quick, friendly service on top of delicious food and a clean atmosphere. My son and I both got the shrimp burrito - would definitely order again! read more

Best service on the island! The food was served quickly and with care. We ordered Birria Tacos along with Agua de Mango, and THEY WERE GOOD! Portions are great, and the quality as well. The Agua Fresca was especially good; the great size and flavor were spot on. I personally like the modern style of the restaurant, which gives a nice atmosphere and ambience. read more

The food was absolutely amazing reminded me of back home! Truly TRULY authentic and delicious. It's my new spot and will keep going I can't wait!! The vibe in the restaurant is so fun and the music is so good they play some of my favorite songs:) read more

I love that this is an authentic recipe Mexican restaurant. While I would love a more traditional decoration, the decoration is urban street art with a fun beautiful nature spot broadcasted on their big screen tv to keep you entertained while you wait. The music is Ritmo Latino jams which adds to the flavor of the experience and food. I suggested adding Agua de Tamarindo and Jamaica to the basic line up of Agua Fresca. A Mexican must!! Today they had horchata, a fave pre- the non-dairy life. Luckily they had the traditional glass bottled Mexican fave soda line up, all the flavors of Jarritos, Mexican coke, Sangria, Sidral Mundet, They use Canola Oil for the tacos, rice and beans and natural ingredients for their house made salsas. read more

Fillo's is a taco shop housed in a nondescript building amongst other businesses. There tacos are more like "street tacos". I found both the birra taco and roasted pork were delicious. There were some fresh juices as well. You can make the tacos a platter with refried beans and rice. Staff were super pleasant. There shop has made an effort to add a vibe with some artwork. read more

Recommend by our tour guide. Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Not fast food, and would be worth twice the wait. Saw a lot of locals popping in for carry out while we ate our meal. Sad we only got to have it once but will check them out next time we are in the neighborhood. read more

Fillo’s - Chimichanga Plate - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

We wete looking for some fish taco. Nice little place tucked in a strip mall. Easy to miss but I'm glad one of the locals told us about it. The fish tacos were excellent. Perfectly grilled with finely shredded lettuce and a tangy sauce. It's also served with rice and beans in the taco plate. They also have all your regular Mexican fare. Service was very good and attentive too. A good recommendation read more

Decent Mexican - Birria tacos are tasty - Quick service Good spot if you need something quick - our order was ready in less than ten minutes. We ordered the carne asada burrito, Birria taco, and pork taco. The a la carte does not come with the consume so make sure to get a side of the sauce! Decent food overall. I thought the food was missing a little something, they brought out a spicy and a verde sauce that considerably improved the dishes read more

Came in to grab some fish tacos to bring to the beach. Service was not very friendly. Food took a long time but that was expected due to the sign that mentioned that when we ordered. Fish tacos were very tasty with a splash of lime! Ordered a carnitas burrito bowl as well and that was huge and good! read more

I went by Fillo's today, the first time in several months. The food was as good as ever; I still think they have some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. Of particular note, however, was that the blaring music had been quieted substantially. It had an amazing effect: the place was hopping at lunch time, with a number of groups throughout the small restaurant. Thanks to Fillo's for listening to their customer complaints. I think it will only help your business. Will I be back? You betcha'! As soon as I can! read more

The restaurant has potential. The fish tacos could really use some flair with more spices, sauce. They were quite bland as was the rice and beans. The most flavorful part of the meal was the Mexican Coke. They did bring my food out, but I had to ask for it as I can't always hear and my digital "order is ready" device did not flash. So, just average, but could be so much more enjoyable with some new flavors. read more

For fast casual Mexican in Kauai, the food was pretty tasty. The ingredients are fresh and the sauces they give you at your table are a great replacement for traditional salsa. They even offered traditional Mexican drinks. The service was quick. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. read more

We had these 2 years ago for the first time and they're still on my mind! So so good!! We came here to try it once. Then we came back again two days later. read more

We are visiting Kaua'i and looked for Mexican food to try. This came highly recommended on Yelp. It is located in a very small commercial space near an Asian restaurant. Easy to spot once you see their food truck parked near the road. The place is small and simple, nothing fancy. Self seating for about 24-30 people. We placed our orders for mahi mahi fish tacos. It was a long wait, and it took a while to get our orders. We were there at dinner time, so we figured they were slammed with phone orders, people picking up to go orders, and a long line for those wanting to order and dine there. Once we got our orders, all looked good. Rice and beans came with two tacos. The fish was flavorful and cooked well. Sauce was not overpowering nor too spicy. All in all, even though the wait was long, the food was delicious. Next time we'll dine during non-busy hours! read more

As a San Diegan, I wasn't expecting to have Mexican food considering I like to try new dishes and restaurants. If I'm gonna be honest, my bf and I even grabbed breakfast burritos to eat at the Airport because we thought it'd be another week before we ate frijoles again. With that being said, we're so glad we stopped here. I enjoyed their veggie taco plate a lot! The sauce was so good and loved the red salsa on it. Their beans could've used a bit of salt but I loved eating the frijoles and arroz together. We also ordered consomé and poured it over the rice. The consomé was very umami tasting. My bf ordered the shrimp tacos and said he liked a lot more than he was expecting. The corn tortillas were spot on!! This means they are not the Mission brand! This spot should not be missed. read more

I would walk 5 miles up hill to eat at Fillos! Absolutely incredible and authentic Mexican food! The value was incredible. Easily we can eat for the rest of the day on the nachos and burritos we took home. Great service, incredibly clean and fantastic selection. The chilaquiles were bomb! Hubs got chicken nachos and I may be sneaking bites of his food when he is not looking. The crèma was delicious and im sure I'll dream of returning just to have that again! read more

I recently tried the new location of Fillo's. Happy to report that the food is still amazing - best shrimp tacos I have had on island. I look forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. Only hesitation with the new location - like another person commented - the music is too loud if you wish to eat there and visit. I was grabbing to go - not sure if I would plan to meet friends there. Music at a level for the employees in the back to enjoy (I assume) not to set the ambience for the customers. Hopefully they turn it down - then I would remain a solid 5 stars and meet friends there for deliciousness. read more

BEST Mexican food in Kauai. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend. Flavors are awesome.

Food is Delicious. Friendly employees but the food, EVERYTHING is as advertised. Truly legit Mexican Food. Better than the other restaurants claiming "authentic "! Prices are very good for the amount of food on each plate!!! read more

I hope with the accumulation of 5 star reviews they never change the quality of their food. My wife and I tried their chicken, carnitas and beef tacos, all three were great, definitely worth trying. I would like to add it's been a while since I've seen a restaurant use high quality meat. Make sure you ask for their spicy sauce on the side if you like spicy food, even the spicy sauce is really good. read more

Food was amazing and the person taking our order was very nice. We will be visiting again.

Always consistently great tasting & friendly, quick service! Easy to dine in or do take out.

Fillo's was a welcome and great find off the highway as our very tired family made our way to our next destination. Food was great.. I had the grilled fish tacos, very fresh.. son had a carne asada quesadilla, and daughter huevos rancheros. Hubs had a green verde chili pork burrito. Everything tasted great, service was attentuve, and the owner came out to ask how we enjoyed our meal and any thing would like. Appreciate the attentiveness and quick stop! Thank you! read more
