Please do not waste your time going in to this place when you are so close to the food trucks that have real (delicious) tacos. The fish tacos here are frozen battered fish and the other food is not much better than Taco Bell. read more

One of my favorite spots to eat after surfing country. The lunch special - two tacos and a drink is less than $7!! I always get the kalua pig tacos with everyone on them, regular and jalapeno salsa. Their burritos are great too! read more

Tacos were very underwhelming. Staff was nice but honestly in a blind taste test I could not pick the beef out from Taco Bell. Even the fish taco didn't taste like fish. Chicken one was decent. read more

Went twice in past week!! Food is always hot and fresh and delicious!!! The girls behind the counter are always smiling and so friendly and accommodating!! We were there with my baby and she rushed to grab me a table and Highchair. So refreshing to see people going above and beyond. Thanks for the aloha guys!!! read more

Avoid. Bad food, worse service. Nothing authentic here. Fish tacos are previously frozen breaded Alaskan cod. Bummer. Other components cheap industrial made, does not taste bueno. Employees very rude, clearly don't take pride in food. Dirty tables. Cold burritos and tacos. No paper towels in bathroom (acknowledged by sign). Pass and move on. Plenty of good tacos in the area, these are not killer. read more

I used to LOVE coming here for the longboard burrito, but it's changed a lot these past years. All the ingredients aren't portioned evenly in the burrito. Sometimes it has more beans, or not enough meat. Their motto is "let us roll you a fatty" it used to be a fatty, now it's almost 1/2 the size they use to give, & the burrito always falls apart. The chips are always stale, even my kids don't like the food here anymore & they're the kind of kids that love anything they eat! It's kind of a risk eating here now, you're either going to get OK food or crap food. Save your $ & go to Surf N Salsa down the street for wayyyy better Mexican food & for the same price. read more

I stoped here once a few weeks ago and it was really good. I went back a second time and when I got my fish taco I noticed the fish wasn't cooked all the way. I went inside to let them know and both workers looked at me like I was stupid and it wasn't their problem. They continued to argue with me about how the rest of the fish is cooked even while I was showing them how my taco was obviously not cooked. I finally just got tired of arguing and threw the taco away and left. They did not offer to remake the taco or give a refund. read more

Food was not good. They've never tasted actual tacos before. They even towed our car even though we had food there. Bad service and ambiance. read more

I LOVE this place! I crave it. It was recommended by a friend. We stopped in and I got a chicken taco...and then I had to get another. We left Oahu to go to the big island. We came back to Oahu to fly back to MN. I NEEDED to stop to get my taco fix. No joke. I wish I had their recipe so I can make my own back home. I will be so sad to never have another killer taco. read more

I don't eat tacos often. If I do it's at Taco Bell (unfortunately lol) but I was in town and thought I'd try this place. It was amazing! I was greeted with a smile when I walked in and the girl behind the counter was very friendly! I ordered two hard tacos for $5 and they were delicious! The ingredients tasted very fresh and the flavors mixed so well in my mouth! I'm glad I got two instead of one because I couldn't eat just one, I needed more. If I'm ever back in town, I'd definitely eat here again! read more

KillerTacos - Hard taco - Mexican Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

Got the super nachos and my red flag should have been the lady placing them in the microwave for 1 minute! Definitely a waste of $16 could have went to McDonald's up the road for a better meal. First time here and definitely disappointed. Do not recommend at all, price or food quality wise. read more

GRINGO TACOS Sometimes I just want a good 'ol taco, nothing fancy or even authentic, just a little meaty, a lot cheesy, with a touch of crunchy. The tacos here are just that. Your choice of meat, cheese, lettuce and some salsa. I had the chicken tacos- the chicken was shredded, nice flavor and juicy. I also tried the fish taco- the fish was deep fried with cabbage and topped with a crema. I didn't care for the fish- it wasn't freshly fried and so it tasted a little stale. The beans and rice were good- rice was fluffy and black beans were a little plain but when topped with cheese it was better. Price per taco is about $2/$3 and I was really full from just two. read more

I first tried Killer Tacos on another island, but enjoyed the experience so I thought I'd swing by the one on the north shore. Overall the tacos were still pretty great! That being said, the service was a little lower quality than I received elsewhere and the tacos didn't quite hit the same. Overall a pretty decent experience though. read more

My favorite taco place on the island. I always go in and order 6-10 Alaskan cod tacos (which I know is super annoying to make) but the guys and girls in there are so nice and always make them with smiles on their faces. Best workers and really nice people!! read more

Stopped for dinner with a group of 9 after a long day of exploring the North Shore. Great choice! Highly recommend trying: the spicy creme sauce, the taco salad, the roasted chicken and the shrimp tacos. Also loved the ahi tacos. Reasonable prices, friendly service. Quick. Plenty of tables to dine in. Line moves fast. read more

AMAZING food, AMAZING service, and AMAZING prices!! Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!!!! The middle/older gal who served us today was sooo kind and nice! read more

Killer tacos is a place of burritos of epic proportions. You can have delicious meats of kalua pork (fave), beef, or chicken rolled into one huge fatty, complete with a crispy fish taco on the side. If you can handle the heat, then get it dipped in habanero sauce. It'll make you feel all warm inside. The only thing is, it'll make you want to take a nap...on the plus side, if you eat outside, there aren't any pigeons to annoy you. The chickens run this area. read more

KillerTacos - Delicious, semi nutritious and filled with kalua pork goodness! - Mexican Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

The atmosphere is awesome. The customer service is always on point! I really like the hard shell pork tacos. Food is always fresh and reasonably priced. The amount of meat they use is awesome compared to some of the near by taco places. The green verde sauce they use has a "kick" and is delicious! read more

Pleasantly surprised with this place. My husband and I had just finished snorkeling so we worked up quite an appetite. We wanted a quick but yummy meal. We ended up at Killer Tacos, and to be honest we weren't expecting much. I have never heard any hype or praise about this place. However, we really enjoyed it and were surprised it isn't busier or more popular. I tried two things: 1) the spicy beef taco, which was seasoned to perfection although not spicy at all to me. Really enjoyed it! and 2) the quesadilla with chicken. DELICIOUS. They are generous with both meat and cheese, which makes me happy. Their shredded chicken is packed with flavor. The jalapenos were a nice touch. Absolutely yummy. Prices were very affordable and the girl who worked there was super nice. Overall, we are big fans from this one great experience. It ain't authentic Mexican or fine dining, but for the price and the fact that it's fast food, it's excellent. read more

If you're not Mexican and in mood for Mexican food, try it. If you're Latino, stay away. I think the fish tacos are frozen. Think of this place like a cheap Chipotle. Very few places to eat after the food trucks close, so we had to go and check it out. I'm sure that most of the people that gave this place a 5 star are either not Mexican or are used to this quality of food and have limited exposure to real Mexican food. I ordered a fish taco and it looked like the fish was frozen. They had it ready in a couple of minutes. The sauce on it was mild and sucked overall. I also ordered a longboard burrito with pork, two chicken tacos, and some nachos. All were pretty bad. I should have gone to McDonalds. It gets a 2 star because the pork was pretty good. Cooked well and seasoned well. It was tasty, but after trying some awesome foods at the food trucks, the experience insulted me. Skip it if you can. McDonalds is up the street. Few restaurants are open after the food trucks close at 5pm. read more

This is a pretty good place to get food. I wish they had a salsa bar or some kind, but otherwise it's a nice place to get a burrito.

No military discount. Stopped here on the way to Cholos to give it a try. Nothing remarkable, not that much flavor in the dishes. The fish taco was was breaded, Baja style but still lacked flavor. The pulled pork burrito was also disappointing, the pork was clumpy and would come out in chunks rather than bites. Water cups are going 2 oz. dental cups, bring your own canteen or water bottle to have a reasonable amount to drink while you eat. Positive notes, the staff was very nice and there's a relaxed atmosphere for lunch. read more

This place used to be a nice environment until the chunky Wahine assistant manager took ahold of work there. She is very rude to guests. I asked about the 5.99 lunch special. It was raised to 7.99 due to any choice of drink in the cooler. Now you have to pay an additional cost if you want a bottle soft drink after the 7.99 raise on the lunch special! Doesn't sound like a lunch special anymore. All I did was ask about it and she responded very rude and came around from the kitchen like she was gonna do something! I told her she didn't have to get crazy I was just asking. Then she started yelling in front of everyone in the store if u have a problem call the owner. She obviously does not have any people skills or management that's probably why she is only assistant! Chunky wahine learn how to deal professionally with customers when they ask you a simple question. She made everyone feel very awkward in the restaurant as people started to leave. Maybe she should work at McDonald's across the way! read more

Amazing customer service and the shortboard burrito that me and my boyfriend got was awesome! Love their spicy ground beef!

Customers be warned. My husband and I parked our vehicle in front of Killer Tacos and were going to go in for some food. Just as we got out of the vehicle, our daughter called. We took the phone call, walked about 50 feet down the sidewalk as we were talking, and turned to head back to eat at Killer Tacos. This all took less than five minutes. In those few minutes, the staff at Killer Tacos had our vehicle towed before we could even get inside. They would've had to have called within 30 seconds of us getting out of our vehicle. Lunch has now cost $160 and we didn't even get any tacos! Maybe the staff is just cranky because their food is so consistently compared to Taco Bell?? read more

Walked in and saw that a taco place in Hawaii didn't have no fish taco with fresh local fish. Only Alaskan cod... shoots never even ordered

Fish tacos are good pig tacos are good, quick service good food. Want too busy and plenty of places to sit. Quick bite this is a great place. read more

Wow, this is the place for fish tacos! Great flavor and a kick of heat. The prices are great. Lunch special is $5.99. read more

Worst taco place in Hawaii, no actually the United States. wish I could give a negative review. staff is also a horrible addition to the disgusting food. barely edible. read more

Worst establishment I've ever been to. Don't waste your time coming here if you're visiting. Staff is horrendous, food is atrocious, wish i could give them negative stars. Better off going to the McDonald's up the road. read more

A place with tacos in the name grabs my attention. The first time I came here, I asked if they had anything vegan and the server was great in making something custom for me, so I really appreciated that. The second time, I got a bean and rice burrito. It was good, just missing a little seasoning. My hunt for the best Mexican food on Oahu continues, but kudos for a vegan-friendly place. read more

Great food, my surf and turf burrito was full of steak and shrimp! Great value, flavor and service!!! Loved it and have recommended it to friends and family! read more

Good ,affordable eats. Don't get chips and salsa the chips were stale and salsa comes in small ramekins. We asked for habinaro salsa instead which was delicious but small. I shared the long board burrito with my husband and we both felt full after! I wanted a fish taco but they only had fried cod :( Big portion for the price but nothing special. read more

My wife and I got burritos and they were the best I've had on island! However I paid $4 for chips and salsa and the salsa container they gave me was a 10 cent container and the salsa is very tomato-ie. The workers (assumably teenagers) were giving us attitude while ordering. The burritos were worth it though! read more

Food is good. I suggest getting pork for your meat option really good. But sadly found hair in my nachos

My family and I decided to stop in because our go to surf n salsa was closed. I ordered Kailua pork nachos and a long board burrito. From the second the guy popped the nachos in the microwave I immediately regretted our decision to eat here. The burrito was no better than something from Taco Bell that you get after a night out. The rice was extremely crunchy and the meat tasted off. The nachos were cold within minutes We are so Disappointed. read more

Cool little place for tacos. The prices are quite reasonable and the portion sizes are decent. We ordered the pork and fish tacos both of which were delicious. Lots of seating inside and a few tables outside as well. Would stop by here again! read more

So I've been told that if I like North Shore Tacos i needs to try this place out because they were good too. I will agree Killer Tacos (which is more mexican food than seafood) does have good fish tacos; but I'm still partial to North Shore Tacos. Difference is grilled fish from North Shore versus fried at Killer Tacos, that being said they are different in a good way and good. The store is well kept and the service was quick, but most of all the prices are probably the best I've had in the area! read more

THEY SHOULD BE CALLED TACO KILLERS!!! Their tacos are not "killer", but they will break your heart because they are the worst tacos ever. I ordered 2 carnitas soft tacos and they were soggy, super small and skinny from the lack of filling inside. Each was made of one store-bought cold flour tortilla wrapped around a little bit of meat, some Iceberg lettuce, a bit of shredded cheese, and the guy claimed he put salsa and sour cream in there too, but I didn't see any. It didn't taste anything like a taco and I couldn't taste the pork. I pretty much just tasted lettuce and tortilla. It was awful and it's super lame to make tacos that tiny and still charge that much. The only enjoyment I got out of that experience was in reading through all the other bad reviews of Killer Tacos making fun of their name! read more

KILLER Tacos Dear Reader, In the defense of the Killer Taco This past saterday was very busy. They only had two very young (possibly high school?) girls working the joint all alone. ON THE OTHER HAND... when I pay for a burrito, I except it to be edible. Let me tell you about the rice... where I come from, rice is not suppose to be so hard that it chips a tooth. Girls, the idea is to BOIL the rice for a little bit before you put it on the taco. The fish was so old that I had to throw the whole thing away after 2 bites. I would have thrown it away after one bite, but I wanted to savour my nausea in order to get mad enough to write this review and others. I will never throw away my money at Killer-by-ciguatera Tacos again. ~MF read more
