    "Horchata" aka water with cinnamon. Don't get this.
    Amy K.

    Always a bummer to have to write a negative review, but it was tough to find goodness in my visit. The woman at the counter was very unfriendly, and didn't explain my nacho options at all when I asked what was standard/available. Another woman joined and was a bit more helpful, asking afterwards what toppings I did or did not want. The chips were fried fresh, which I think it the positive I can find. The steak was hard as rocks, cooked literally to death. Toppings were sparse, and nothing appeared or tasted to be fresh made (cheese sauce, salsa, etc.) The worst of the bunch was what they are claiming as Horchata. It was awful, literally water with cinnamon sprinkled on top. It gave a bad name to horchata in the worst way, and was a waste of $3.50, I didn't drink more than two sips. Always want to support a small business, but this wasn't a great experience for food, service or drink unfortunately.

    Random stop by, delicious simple food. Ladies running it were nice. Chill atmosphere, food came out pretty fast. Can't complain. They also told me "help yourself" with the condiments /salsa/kimchi bar that's available :) mahalo!

    It's my first time and I chose this restaurant because I wanted to eat something new. The location is difficult to find I think but the atmosphere does not seem to be the center of Waikiki. I've ordered the bowl of pork. it was good. I'll come back here soon.

    This is it!

    I needed to eat something quick before I started work. I was going to try one place, but the guy ignored me so I went next-door here. I told the woman that I was in a hurry and needed something quick and asked what she recommended she said taco. I asked her what kind she said chicken and I said one or two and she said two and it was delicious! $10.37 for these delicious chicken teriyaki tacos. Super happy that the first place ignored me and I discovered this place. It is going to be one of my new regular spots when I work at the Waikiki shopping Plaza location.

    Based on Ubereats delivery: The steak taco presented well, the taco was flavorful thanks to the salsa, onions and cilantro & the quality of the steak was good but the steak tasted like it was very lightly seasoned so I wouldn't repeat that order. The Korean taco presented and tasted like a carnitas taco with leafs of Kimchee. The cheese quesadilla with that homemade delicious spicy salsa doesn't disappoint, highlight of the meal & the reason I'll return.

    Pork tacos :(

    Order tacos at work and they came with just meat and bread, absolutely no sauce or toppings...to skimp and this because I did delivery is just rude and lazy! Do better, there is no excuse for this and this is inedilbe

    Horchata
    John K.

    Great customer service and yummy Horchata! The food looks good but didn't get to try any.

    This was supposed to be their elote!!!

    This was supposed to be their elote!!! I called to request assistance and the lady said "what's the problem?" After I explained that they sent me just corn she hung up on me! Unbelievable. I live in Waikiki! Apparently they don't care about local customers.

    The kalbi taco is really good, the Korean taco is not bad but I'd get the kalbi over it every time.

However, the margaritas felt a bit too light and mostly tasted like melted ice, which was a little disappointing. The food was okay overall, but there's definitely room to improve consistency and quality across the menu. We truly love supporting local spots, and hope they can fine-tune the drinks and food so the experience matches the great idea behind the business. Wishing them growth and better consistency moving forward.

    About a month ago I walked by a man eating a burrito at the beach and I couldn't help noticing that…read morethe tortilla looked better than any other I'd seen in Hawaii. I believe that Mexican food is only as good as the tortilla, so I asked him where he got it and he said "Thyda's - bro you have to go!" Well, today I finally went and let me tell you - that random beach man was absolutely right! I got the carnitas burrito and it was simply perfect. At $12, I'd say it was reasonably priced too. Service was fast and Thyda and Magid - the husband and wife owners - were so friendly and chill. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do and love whipping up great food with a great attitude. They talked to us while we ate and shared a little of their 10 year taco stand journey. I wasn't surprised to learn they spent years in LA. The food definitely holds up to LA standards. Head's up - there's no tables and not much seating or parking. We ate on a small step near where you order. Also note that they have Taco Tuesday deals. Can't believe I've been missing out on this place for so long and I can't wait to go back! Check it out

Flavor was solid, portion was generous, and the food itself is the main reason I keep coming back. The ambiance is chill and local. Most of the afternoon crowd seemed to know each other, which gives the place a comfortable neighborhood feel. That said, the inside is a little dingy and could probably use a renovation. The issue on this visit was the service. When we got there, it was pretty empty, maybe 4 or 5 people sitting at the bar. The guy working behind the bar seated us, but then never brought menus, never brought water, and never came back to take our order. When my friend tried waving him down, he ignored us. Eventually another employee came in, and the bartender just told him, "Go take his order," without acknowledging us at all. I don't know if he was only working the bar that day, but he could have at least brought water, menus, or simply said someone would be right with us. Instead, the whole interaction came across as dismissive and unnecessary. Food was very good as always, but service matters too. Based on this visit, I'd call it 3 stars overall.
