    Super Bowl
    Raenae G.

    When we arrived, there was a large group before us so there was wait to order our food. Props to the two employees who handled the crowd well and provided friendly services. So you order your food by picking what you want and they prepare it right in front of you - very similar to a very popular sandwich chain. I ordered the super bowl which came with chips. It's like a burrito salad minus the tortilla. The food tasted good and refreshing after a hike. Since my friend is semi-vegetarian, he got the fish tacos. He said it was good. The place is clean and spacious. Lots of parking which is nice.

    After passing it earlier, we stopped in for an early dinner after the food truck we were going to closed before dinner. We were greet with warm smiles and helpful workers. The food was amazing. We all had different dishes and all of them were very good. The chicken and hard shell tacos were amazing. So fresh and clean. You can't go wrong here!

    Best dang tacos on the island! There's something special about the beef choice tho. When I lived on the Big Island, that was my go to when the taco craving hit, and fast forward ten years later, I realized they had a location here on Oahu. I got the 3 taco lunch special that comes with a drink for $18.99 and she got the Longboard burrito, beef choice, which was also very delicious. Their in house habanero has a really nice kick too. Good amount of free parking if not crowded and the restaurant was very clean and spacious. They were super friendly and quick which is always the best combination. So if ever you're on the North Shore side of the island, pay them a visit! It's even worth the trip of you're not!

    Tried this place for the first time. It's a casual place to get a quick bite. They have veggie options. I ordered the salad bowl (tortilla less burrito) which came with rice, choice of beans, and veggies. They put some chips on top. The salad itself was light in flavor, but not too filling and pricey for the amount provided. I also ordered a side of chips and salsa. The thick chips were not my preference.

    Chicken Quesadillas

    You MUST stop! Great selection of tacos, quesadillas, and burritos! Chicken quesadilla was cheesy, flavorful, and served with a side of chips and delicious salsa. Pork burrito was well proportioned with tender pork, beans, rice, and cheese. Service was excellent. Friendly staff and greatly appreciated our visit after the disastrous flooding. Come support this business. You won't be disappointed!

    Killer location... You can find them right at the start of Haleiwa Town right beside the gas station and with a huge parking lot getting in and out will always be a struggle here but parking here does make it easier whichever direction you're heading. Walking in there was no one there did give me a bit of red flag though lunch was very much needed and I just didn't want to fight the trucks and outdoor heat and the roomy inside with lots of tables made it the right choice. Menu offering are pretty simple and though all items are put together to order it's all already made just assembled as the staff asked what items each was okay with me as I ordered their taco salad as I didn't feel like a hand held item and did prefer a bowl which they didn't have so this was my only option. It was nice as he asked about each item though I wished that I knew some of the option like protein choices which was an option as it was a Veggie at $13.49 but he asked which meat which I chose but instead I "added" so it came out more. Salad was meh as there was a lot of red cabbage which I really didn't like the crispy flour bowl was oily and just places right on top was horrible and just looked stale and no I didn't even gave it a try as I probably would've loved some crispy tortilla chips instead. Not the greatest and it shows sadly but a nice and clean restaurant with lots of seating is a nice chill option with nice decor. Thank you!

    Lunch in Haleiwa, O'ahu, Hawaii... Located at the beginning of Haleiwa Town, I saw the sign for "KillerTacos" and said the name aloud to Irene who was driving. She said she hadn't been there before... Well, it's time to give them a try! Parking was free and easy. We walked into the spacious restaurant where a friendly, efficient worker did everything. The guy took our orders and put our meals together! Wow! I almost got the Taco Deal, but decided to skip the beverage and get a Fish taco (soft tortilla) and Pork taco (hard shell). I ate the Pork taco first and was pleasantly surprised! The shredded pork was juicy and tasty! The crunchy shell was wonderful! Too bad they salsa was a bit spicy for me - even though the worker said it was "mild". Shucks... I have low tolerance for heat. The Fish Taco started out great until I hit the salsa. Arg! I powered through it since the battered fish was moist and delicious! We sat in the attached dining area which was quiet and calm. It was a little shaded and seemed more private so we could enjoy a nice chat! I'd go back for more tacos!

    They call it Killer Tacos. The only thing slain here was my appetite. Imagine a tortilla cold, limp, straight from some soulless factory shelf, folded around lifeless fillings, as if the mere geometry of a taco could trick the senses into submission. No char, no heat, no dignity. A corpse of flour pretending to be a canvas. The chicken whispered of flavor, but only like a ghost haunting the room, faint and meaningless. The ground beef? A pale echo of what meat should be, a soldier stripped of his fire and left to march without purpose. Guacamole so banal, so offensively standard, it might as well have been commissary-issued. This is not Mexico, not even its shadow. It is a masquerade; a sad performance staged for tourists who wouldn't know whether to laugh, cry, or demand their money back. If I brought a Mexican friend here, he'd go from insult to fury to sorrow, watching his culture reduced to this wet paper imitation. And therein lies the true crime: not poison, not disaster, mediocrity. Food should ignite, seduce, strike. Instead, Killer Tacos offers you a flavorless sigh, wrapped in aluminum foil, and dares to call it passion. 1.5 out of 5 stars. Because apathy is worse than badness and it lingers, it mocks, it makes you wish you had eaten nothing at all.

    Longboard chicken burrito
    Taylor N.

    I've been coming to Killer Tacos for over a decade. I always get the longboard burrito on a spinach wrap, add both beans, and everything else that comes on it. It's absolutely DELICIOUS every time! The food comes out huge and hot temperature wise and costs $16.50. It's a must go!

I am so happy we came here for dinner tonight. We recently found out about the taco stand. We had to take some home to go!!! $3.75 each tacos. We got 8 for $39 and some change. We were talking with the employee that was greeting us at the taco stand and he was so nice. He let us know that we could visit the distillery next-door that would be open late and would always have trivia on Thursdays and karaoke on Fridays. They also have live bands! I wish I was available weekend nights to experience this, but I highly recommend everyone to come and support this business. We will be back!!!

And since I arrived hours after sunset, so dark that none of the heavily promoted "views of the harbor, ocean, and postcard sunsets" could be visible, I can attest that the fresh food more than enough made up for it. The entrees on the menu are divided into two sections: "from the sea" and "from the land." And c'mon, you're in Hawaii, so you really should only be entertaining seafood. I stand firm on that even knowing that the prime rib is one of, if not the only, specialties here and that they run out if you get there too late in the night. I had the furikake crusted baked fish, which was exceptionally tender. The wasabi butter sauce complemented it perfectly and thankfully, the chefs were generous with how much they dolloped onto the plate so I was getting lost in the sauce. The restaurant's decor felt aged in a charming way. Which probably sounds like a backhanded compliment but it did feel on brand: unpretentious and relaxed, if reminiscent of a time pre-Y2K. The service was kind though fairly unmemorable, which makes sense as we were a large and fairly rambunctious dining party.

For our mains we ordered the grilled mahi mahi and fish and chips. My mahi mahi was grilled to a moist perfection, and the brown butter sauce could have overwhelmed the fish, so I went light on the sauce. Their fish n' chips are not your traditional Irish bar offering. The fish was gently battered with panko and fried just right. Their homemade tarter sauce was absolutely delicious. They have a very interesting craft cocktail menu. My Ku'Ula-Kai Mai Tai was on point and perfectly balanced - sweet and sour.

The corn was excellent and the ribeye was cooked really well. But the experience had some friction. The host stand felt unnecessarily rigid and disorganized. They would not seat us until the full party was physically standing there, even though the table was ready and the rest of our group was coming from parking. It left everyone awkwardly crowded up front with another party. Service was also slow. Drinks, napkins and basic follow up took too long. We ordered ribeyes and the knives didn't arrive until the steaks had already started cooling, which is a small thing that becomes a big thing when the kitchen actually did its part. The space is nice, but it gets hot and once it got darker the mosquitoes became a real problem. Bring repellent if you are going around sunset. Food wise, it was mixed but mostly good. The drinks were solid, the appetizers were strong and the ribeye was the best thing we ordered. The lobster salad was the weak point, more like boxed mixed greens with overcooked lobster than something worth ordering again. The kids' pizza felt frozen and heavy, but the kids were happy enough. I'd probably come back, but I'd come prepared. Mosquito repellent, patience with the front desk and realistic expectations on service.
