    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    Delicious pork tacos! Quaint beach town spot. Food was served fast, hot and with a smile.

    Pretty Average. Nothing to write home about. My husband ordered three tacos, he said the beef and pork meat had a good flavor, the chicken was bland. I had the rice bowel with black beans with a salad. Odd very little black beans mostly rice. The salad was fresh. I was not impressed with size of bowl given the price. Staff was friendly and made our dish as we waited at counter. Interior is what you would expect for the type of restaurant.

    Meh! Nothing special. We got two fish tacos and tostada salad bowl. It was mediocre at best and it left a weird aftertaste in my mouth.

    I recently visited Haleiwa Joe's and overall had a great experience. The weather was absolutely…read morebeautiful, and we showed up a little early (before their 4:30 PM opening) hoping they might seat us sooner -- no luck there, but it was worth the wait. We actually lucked out and grabbed seats at the bar first, which worked out perfectly. We had a couple of drinks, and shortly after, they moved us to an outdoor dining table. Honestly, the timing couldn't have been better -- the ambiance outside with the weather was amazing. Service was super quick, even as the restaurant filled up insanely fast (seriously, it got packed almost immediately). As always, we went for the prime rib -- and it did not disappoint. The portion was huge and easily shareable. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were sweet, crispy, and paired perfectly with this super umami, flavorful mayo-based dipping sauce. For dessert... wow. If you love anything with an Oreo crust and coffee ice cream, you need to try it. I'm still thinking about it. Tip: Get there right when they open -- or even a little before -- because the place fills up fast and parking is pretty limited.

    Highly disappointed. Went in at 1:45 on a Saturday afternoon and there was a sign in the lobby…read morethat stated main dining room was closed - serving tapas and lunch in the bar/lounge area. We walked into the bar area and the bartender rudely yelled across the room that the kitchen is closed and offered no explanation. Rude and poor customer experience and service. I was looking forward to eating there, as several things on the menu looked very appealing.

    "Is this the greatest place in the world?" -- my 22 year-old, health-nut, Bay Area nephew asked,…read morewhile taking a rare mouth-break during, what he called, "one of the best, cleanest, purest cheeseburgers he's ever had." I remember his burger bun was purple, from the taro root ingredients. Mentally, I added it to my list, for next time. My nephew had never been to the Northshore before, and has rarely had a real vacation in his young run on the planet. His partially-genuine question was amplified by the inherent organic qualities of the lunch experience. Namely, the serene backyard surroundings of Farm to Barn's property. The picnic bench tables. His bare feet on the grass, manifesting a closer connection to the earth (which fortunately, he only mentioned once - we all know the someone who would've mentioned it 6 times, or so). My older sister added her coconut granola bowl was the best acai-adjacent bowl she's ever encountered, in the handful of years she's discovered such meals exist. And my breakfast burrito, aka my fav. food, was top 5 for sure. The yard chickens cruised us, hoping to get some scraps. But, we all made the most of our post-hike meal. One would think, photos would've been taken, during such a moment... but nope! Too busy enjoying family, and food, and the ultimate healthy Hawaii vibe, that this spot effortlessly provided. There's a ton of great food options on this stretch of the Northshore, but hard to imagine not coming here every visit, from now on.

    I visited Haleiwa Beach House during my recent trip to Hawaii. My family and I were at the beach…read moreall day in the area and were looking for a restaurant that could accommodate our large party (6 adults & 4 kids). We arrived right when the restaurant was opening and were lucky enough to be seated immediately. The parking lot is relatively small, but we lucked out by being there right at opening. I loved the seating area, it is completely open and we were able to enjoy the light breeze and beautiful weather. I ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi which comes with garlic ponzu long beans and lemon caper brown butter sauce (which I requested on the side) and white rice. I am glad I decided to put the sauce on the side because the sauce was really rich and I enjoyed it more as a light dipping sauce versus drenching the plate with it. The Mahi Mahi was delicious and cooked perfectly. The kids menu here is amazing, the kids all loved their choices. I tried some of the Chicken Tenders and it was one of the best I have ever had! The staff here are wonderful! They were so attentive and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The food came out quickly and just as we ordered. I would highly recommend Haleiwa Beach House to anyone craving fresh and delicious food... there is a variety of choices on the menu, everyone in our party was able to pick what they wanted and we all left full and happy :)
