Good food and good service. The inside decor is fun and cheerful. It is a small restaurant, but…read morecomforting and quiet. Everything is fresh. They have a coffee flan, which was great for coffee lovers. I would definitely go again. The server was very sweet. Mahalo.

We had a difficult time finding the entrance (there was a truck blocking the signage--I'm assuming…read moreit was the owner's because they were unloading). We walked in and had to ask if they were open as we weren't immediately greeted. We got to choose our seats and tried to find the coolest spot because it was hot inside! According to the server--their ac was broken. It reminded us of traveling to Mexico and eating at the restaurants there . The decor is very similar and authentic to restaurants in Mexico. They even had lots of the candies found there surrounding their register area. The server was super friendly and attentive once we were seated, I just wish she would've written down our order instead of trying to take it all by memory as she got some things wrong with our order. Now onto the food. Mexican food in Hawaii is nothing to write home about. This was no exception. Our family of 4 ordered: the California Burrito, the super burrito (I actually ordered the chimichanga but it came out as a burrito), Birria tacos, Birria quesadilla, a bean and cheese burrito (the hubby's favorite thing to order at a Mexican restaurant) and because it was taco Tuesday--the carne asada street tacos (which I think the server forgot because we had to remind her) and the flan for dessert. The burritos were of good size and nicely filled. I enjoyed the super burrito but it needed the red sauce that was put on the table. The shrimp inside was very flavorful. My daughter loved her California burrito (it has French fries in it--lol). The birria was delicious--the consommé was pretty bland though. The bean and cheese burrito was cold in the middle and not as generously sized as the other burritos. The best thing that we had was the flan. I love flan and the texture of theirs was amazing. The sauce was a mixed review with the family. I liked it and the fact that there was a lot of it. There was a slight fridge taste but it was still delicious. My husband tried to make a suggestion about moving the large truck that was in front of the restaurant blocking the breeze from coming (remember the broken AC...and this is a hot August afternoon) but upon telling our server he felt dismissed. He was told that the AC was broken and supposedly to be fixed soon, but she didn't acknowledge his suggestion to move the vehicle to let some air in--it's disappointing that when a customer that takes the time to provide genuine feedback to be left feeling dismissed instead of appreciation for the feedback. I feel bad for whomever may have dined after us as it was mighty warm in there...

I come here about once a month, been coming here for a few years now. To be honest it's been hit…read moreand miss. I always get a wet carnitas burrito. Sometimes, at this location, the food a great and other times the food is a miss like bad, one time it wasn't even warm, sometimes the burritos are mainly rice but when it's good, it's great. Usually the service is nothing special either, just take my order at the window, I have to remind them about my drink and they just throw my food in a bag assuming I'm taking it to go which I never do. I came here yesterday and there was a young girl working the register, her name is Sakura, and she is amazing! Let me tell you, meeting young people like her gives me hope for the future. She was super friendly, asked if I was eating there or to go, actually brought my food out to me (first time that's EVER happened) was patient with other customers, one uncle was hard of hearing and didn't understand the menu, another guy was in a hurry and a bit rude. She was awesome though, handled every situation with kindness, respect and patience, very polite. She made the visit great and the food was ON POINT! It was so good, like I said when it's good, it's great and it was GREAT! I probably would have given it 4 stars but Sakura's customer service got it an additional star. The sitting area was very clean, it was quiet, nice day for lunch.

Tacos in Pearl City, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. I asked my Saturday foodie group if they were interested in tacos... Sure! I had been to the Kalihi, Kaimuki (now closed), and Pauoa locations. I liked them all - each place had their own charm and uniqueness. I wanted to see how this one in Pearl City Shopping Center compared... Situated between Daiso and Sadie's BBQ Inn, Alejandros is right at the entrance to HouseMart Ben Franklin Crafts. We sat outside because the air-conditioning inside wasn't working. Service at the counter could improve. It seems like the cashier was in training because we ordered and paid for one of each taco, but got three ground beef tacos. I asked which taco was the carnitas... then, they made me two extra tacos with different meats (carnitas and steak). Carnitas (pork) was my favorite... that's why it costed the most! LOL! Overall, it was a fun foodie experience! The shared free parking was a bonus!

My husband loved the tacos and quesadillas. He heard lots of…read moregood things about Johnny T's Food Truck and we wanted to try and we finally did. It's only open on Tuesday and Saturday so that's one of the reason we didn't try it earlier. It's from 11am to 6pm. Sometimes I seen a line but today, Tuesday around 11am, there was no line. My husband had quesadillas ($13.50) and carne asada taco ($3). He loved it. I had same taco but to me the meat was little hard (little dry). Maybe cooked too long? But the salsa was delicious. I love it. Spicy level medium was on spicy side. If you like mild spicy it'll be too spicy. If you love spicy this place is for you. The lady at the truck taking orders was friendly and nice. It's a red truck by Wendy's Waipio so very easy to spot.

So...long story short, the picture was supposedly taken a day after getting my order from Johnny…read moreT's Food Truck, which came moments after my work shift. Where do I start? I have crossed paths with this food truck multiple times, but haven't had the chance to order from there, given that they only open on two days. I figured it's time I give the place a try. So...moments after I finished work, I made a quick dash to the food truck in hopes they were ready to make orders again, and they were ready that time. I haven't ate a California Burrito since Frida's in 2022, and I gotta say, I also haven't had one with Carne Asada beef and chicken. Out of the many times I've had a California Burrito on this island, this might probably be the best one I've enjoyed so far. For $15, this is truly a nice deal. Just the right amount of fries in ratio to the meats, guac, salsa, onions, and cilantro. Most importantly, did a good job listening to what I wanted in terms of order. I ordered mine without sour cream and cheese, which might have changed the experience a bit differently for me. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. For a place that does Mexican food and is right next to Wendy's, they really did a great job. 10/10 Would recommend, but plan carefully since they only open on Saturdays and Tuesdays.

Finally found the cart! Located in the far/back lot of Queen's Medical Center West on Tuesdays from…read more9am to 1pm. Most customers are hospital employees and a few strays like me. Nice area where you can wait under the shade with the roosters! Currently they only offer spicy or mild Carne asada burritos & quesadillas. Sorry Fran... no chicken yet, but he plans to expand as his dream is to have a brick and mortar restaurant. Today I bought a mild and a spicy burito. They take cash and card, but his phone overheated and the woman in front of me couldn't get her charge to go through. Luckily, I had my emergency cash on hand. There was no line when I parked, but when I came out,of my appointment, the line was fairly long as a Queen's employee had pre-ordered 12 burritos as a standing Tuesday order. He moves fast and broke down the line quickly. Today he was training a young man to assist him. Another hospital employee said they look out the windows to check how long the line is. I ordered one spicy and one mild burito to try. The person with the mild burito said it was spicy. I sampled a bite and found it had nice heat and flavors. Lol the "S" on the foil wrapper to designate Spicy was mis-labeled! I found the flavors of the burito was very yummy! The mild burito is also tasty, but will order a spicy next time! The burito was one of the best I have had! The burritos traveled back to the office nicely as was still warm! Da Burito Kid is also at Kapolei Regional Park from 11am to 1pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, at Makakilo on Mondays from 4pm to 7pm, on Wednesdays from 4-7pm at Geiger Park. Check his IG @Daburitokid to find him. Support local and help Da Burito Kid get that restaurant and expand! I will be back!

It was so kind of the women working to let me sit into AC car while our food was being prepared, she brought it to me when it was ready. Plenty of parking here, and took less then 10min wait. 10/10 would recommend and I can't wait to come back and try a quesadilla
