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

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

The burritos and shrimp tacos were tasty and fresh. The service was quick and the seating area was cool and comfortable.

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

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

Fillo’s - Chicken Taco's - Mexican Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

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

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

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

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

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 love Fillos! The queso birria is stuffed with meat and full of flavor. The birria fries are delicious. Just tried the pork belly taco(not pictured) and it was a 10/10 pork was crispy. Service was amazing given that they were short staffed. When we went (who I assume was the owner) was taking orders and making the food while the place was packed. All in all the food is well worth the wait. If you want something quick go to a fast food joint. read more

Great food, service still has a lot to figure out. Long wait times, often confusion over standard orders. I still support them regularly, but want to give an honest heads up for anyone else. read more

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

Great tacos! Love the birria with dipping sauce. It's a small restaurant, with about 8 tables, so it's best for takeout.

Best Mexican food on Kauai. Excellent tasting. I always get the birria. My husband got the special today. Super good. Leaving very satisfied with a choco flan for later! Highly recommend this place!

This place has amazing tacos! The pork belly and mahi mahi tacos were so delicious and had the perfect crunch. The tortillas were fresh and homemade. The agua fresca was very refreshing and had no added sugar which we appreciate as parents of five year old. The tacos a la carte aren't too expensive. The entree prices are comparable with other restaurants on Kauai. We will be back for sure! read more

Hubby tried the Barria Burrito. It was huge and delicious he said. Made two meals out if it. He took it 'to go' as the music and decor was not to his liking. He said he would have enjoyed walking in to 'real' Mexican music Looking on Yelp there are pictures with prices for the burrito from $13.50 - 15.50. As of December 30th when we ate it was $17.50. So with tip and tax it ran about $20 for the burrito only. But...we will go back for take out and share a delicious burrito read more

This place was recommended by locals. The entire family loved their meals. Every dish we tried was amazing. Highly recommend!

Food is always amazing. We go as often as we can. We haven't had a bad dish. Service is great. Top 2 taco on island

Dirty fries (large portion) and fish tacos. This place is bomb. Food was out fairly quick.

Food is good. Ambiance needs adjusting. I'm going to give the food a great rating because it is better than the competition. It's nice to have such clean ingredients mixed and prepared with such care. You can really taste the difference. Tacos and burritos! 5stars for good, clean, simple Mexican food. The ambiance is obviously in adjustment phase, so let's give them some time on this. Using a large screen tv speakers with garage band Mexican music videos is never a good thing. Mix that with a sewer line / garbage smell consistently waifing through the restaurant is not good either. 1star. I would go back and try the entire menu. Even bring the family. But if that smell is there again, take out is option two! All the best! And see you around the island! read more

Best shrimp tacos we had in Kauai (and we tried multiple spots) 5/5, maybe top 5 we have ever had. So good we had to order seconds. Can't wait to go back. Great service, nice ambiance. read more

Seriously delicious food. We decided to eat here randomly as we were driving by, and I'm so glad we did. We ordered the birria taco plate and fish taco plate, and the birria tacos were better than I could have imagined. My only issue is with the very long wait, and that some people who ordered after us got their food first. I'm willing to wait if the food is that good, especially if it's a busy time of day, but I don't love it when we get served after other people when we were waiting far longer. I'd definitely still come back though because the tacos were just that good. read more

Former food truck now in a brick and mortar spot in Wailua. Great Mexican food on par with what we get in Los Angeles on the regular. Staff super friendly and very very helpful read more

Best authentic Mexican style fish tacos I've found on the island. It's a little tucked away, but worth seeking out. I had my first watermelon Agua Fresca here. You won't regret stopping in here if you get the chance. read more

Al pastor burrito was excellent! Get both of the salsas. Size is about the same as a chipotle burrito so you can judge your hunger accordingly read more

Our go to for Mexican. Biria tacos so good. My husband loves the menudo. They have breakfast plates also. Horchata te best on island

So good-best on the island. Tasty, authentic, clean, friendly. The best I have tasted since moving from SoCal

Birria tacos are as good or better than SoCal Birria. His consume is pretty good. A must try are pork belly tacos. We had the Birria dirty fries, which were great and his fries are legit. read more

First day on the island and headed here straight from the airport (Tuesday 8/20 @ 6:00 pm). Arrived and waited around without any sort of greeting. I gave them the benefit of the doubt based on the reviews from others. Waited a bit longer after looking at the menu and still no greeting, just two bros in the kitchen cooking. Took my $$$ elsewhere, and you should do the same. I am a fan of businesses who actually want my $$$. Expect to pay ~$20 for a burrito. Played great music! read more

Bummer. We came back because first experience was great. Second didn't come close to the first. Soggy burrito, no smiles or energy from staff. Had to unlock a padlock gate to wash my hands around the building for the bathroom when they have a bathroom right at the front. Not the end of the world but could improve from the last experience. read more
