We like this spot for convenient good burritos and tacos. It's got a local but chipotle style service. But the rice was soooo mushy last time I've got to take a star off because it was a big bummer in my burrito I was trying to get it out. read more

When visiting the North Shore, please stop by for the tacos. Pork and Fish can't miss either way. We tried the pork as it was off season and not very hungry. Very good taco and everyone was so nice with a true Aloha vibe. read more

I mistakenly went here looking for the fish tacos from Shaka Tacos and the difference is stark.

The location is odd but turned out to be great. I got fish tacos on flour tortillas with medium salsa and I enjoyed it. We would recommend and will go again. read more

Our friends recommended that my family and I go to Killer Tacos for fast casual and GOOD food. This location was literally 10 mins from our hotel and we did not have much trouble finding it. The parking lot was full but we did find parking on the street. It was super easy to find. We arrived during lunch hour so there was definitely a line, it was busy but the line was moving fast. We got a table the moment we got there as my husband was waiting in line. I order the taco salad with chicken and it was HUGE! It was also very delicious, flavorful and fresh! All items that we ordered were good and the customer service was superb! Also - lots of drink options! I would def come back again! read more

Amazing food, great prices and quick, friendly service. A hidden gem of Kona - great post-beach lunch!

I wanted a little bite while I was in Kona waiting for my partner fly in. I was really early so I happened upon this place. Parking is limited but I found a spot on the far end of the lot. The interior is very unassuming and sparse. Honestly, it doesn't matter one way or the other I just wanted to put that out there. I ordered the spicy ground beef soft taco. Oh, and if you want a hardshell taco, that's an extra $.50! That's crazy I added cheese to my taco and that was an extra charge.. Nothing spicy about the ground beef. I think all the good reviews about the food here come from people used to Del taco and Taco Bell. Don't get me wrong on that, however, if you're looking for an authentic Mexican taco skip this place! If you're hungry for some slightly below average Mexican food, You'll be fine here. I thought four dollars is a little expensive for a taco. It doesn't even look like a taco but rather looks like a mini burrito. The Good: Good for a quick bite. Nothing else to write home about. The Bad: parking can be challenging. No atmosphere. Chances I'll be back: probably not. Not for any particular reason other there are much better places out there for Mexican food, even on the Kona side. read more

KillerTacos - Is this a taco? It was at Killer Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Large portions for very reasonable island prices. Friendly staff. Nothing wrong with this place, which is in a strip mall that isn't really conspicuous. The only negative is the salsa. If they could up their salsa game this place could be really good. We tried mild to spicy and it was something like tomato sauce on the the one and and tomato sauce with chili powder and hot sauce on the other. The fish burritos aren't as big as the longboard ones, but they were good...my favorite out of the taco salad, and beef lb burritos. read more

Tacos were so good. Wish we would have found it when we first got to Kona not on last day hard shell tacos amazing. Service was awesome too

Need some pep to the menu, but they're a good standard. Definitely surfing oriented. Enjoy the premiering of surfing. Mega woos. Very local and modestly priced. Casual quaint environment. Place draws in customers from nearby local vendors. Unique experience. read more

The tacos were absolutely delicious!! The crunchy shell was very surprising in how good it was! Will be back for sure.

For having Mexican on the island it's pretty good. Mushy rice and garlic overloaded salsa that wasn't spicy enough for my liking. This place reminds of chipotle. Good enough service and clean establishment. I had the fish taco and a burrito to go (saved to eat while waiting for my flight). The burrito held up good and the tortilla'l didn't tear-I appreciate that detail. read more

Killer Tacos is our go to place for lunch, and I just discovered I could place an online order. The online order system was weird, and it was going to make me wait 40 minutes to pick up an order of three burritos. I didn't really want to wait, so I just went to the store and waited in line with everyone else and told the worker that I had an online order. She was extremely rude about me picking up my order early and told me that I should call to tell them I'm coming soon. I waited in line with everyone else, which was basically like me ordering in person, so I don't get why she was rude about the order. Aside from the service, the food is always filling and tasty. I got the veggie burrito on the tomato basil wrap. The burrito is so heavy, and almost always lasts me two meals. I'm also very happy that they have the aguas frescas drinks! This is the most refreshing drink out there! read more

This hole in the wall restaurant might be the gem of the island. The tacos are absolutely delicious. The service is good as well. If you're craving some comforting food, you should check it out. read more

I had the lunch special, which were 2 hard tacos. I chose the beef, and it was seasoned really well and flavorful. The taco shell was fresh and had a really nice crunch when you bite into it. I would definitely stop by again when I'm in Kona and I'm the mood for some quick tacos. Great value at under $10 as well. read more

Great Mexican food. Thank you for good customer service. Longboard burrito is my go-to.

absolute slop. don't come here expecting a real authentic taco or burrito. everything thing is ground beef or chicken. I asked for chips for the slop and was charged an extra 5$ for less than half a bag of chips. read more

Very friendly service but food was moderate. Tacos were good but seemed similar to Del Taco or Taco Bell. Given the price of each taco, we expected more. read more

I've had my share of bad tacos, but this place truly takes the cake. Let's start with the parking -- it's a nightmare. Expect to circle around a few times or sit and wait for a spot to open up. The ambiance isn't much better. It's small, with a forgettable vibe -- nothing that stands out, good or bad. As for the food, it's just plain bland. And don't be fooled by the "nachos" on the menu -- what they serve is basically a pile of tortilla chips with a side of shredded cheese. Definitely not nachos. Overall: terrible parking, disappointing food -- but the staff was friendly, which is the only reason this place gets 2 stars from me. read more

If you have ever eaten at a taco Del Mar, this is Hawaii's version. Like to a freaking T, even same menu design so maybe it is actually owned by taco Del Mar corporation.. wow the great mysteries of life All in all it's not authentic Mexican but let me explain why KillerTacos deserves 5 stars.... Just like taco Del Mar, they are assembly line based, prepared in front of you and fresh. Very quick service and consistent, quality ingredients. Great on the go alternative to fast food and good option for Mexican food on the island since were seriously lacking. BEST thing about KillerTacos was the staff, every single employee was pleasantly sweet and seemed like they were genuinely happy working there excellent service and smiles ladies thank you! Bottom line - "let them roll you a fatty" read more

Had the chicken tacos, delish! Kinda pricey, but frankly, they were overpriced from the start, so now they're the same as everywhere else. Been back 2x, so been consistent so far. read more

Killer tacos has really good food, always nice. thank you guys. love the cookies too

A small little shop in an industrial area of Kona that offers an excellent, affordable meal while on the island. They close at 6PM, but we were able to get dinner to go from the friendly staff just before. If you come in earlier, they have a fun, colorful, casual dining area to enjoy your meal after ordering at the counter. The kailua pig is excellent, whether in a burrito or on a salad. For the LOs, they have a pretty big, off-menu, bean and cheese burrito. Considering the pricing of food on the island, it is a joy to feed a family of four for about $55 before tip. I highly recommend it. read more

I ate here a couple of years ago and it was great. I went back as soon as I could on my trip and it was terrible tacos. Wet meat, no seasoning could be tasted. The shells were slightly burned , and the workers didn't even crack a smile or say hello or goodbye. A lot of people keep telling us this is the best tacos. I dint think so. I don't write many reviews so this must be bad I won't be back. read more

Good tasting fresh tacos and value for the price. Clean basic dining area. They have pork, beef and roasted chicken as the meat options as well as fish tacos . No shrimp. Service was efficient and fast. read more

Cute themed taco restaurant in a light industry area of Kona. I'm from California and we have great Mexican food, so I can't say these were the best tacos I've had, but they were fine and we were hungry. It's a cute place and the people are very friendly. read more

Maybe it's because I'm from LA and have had amazing tacos and burritos, but I didn't get why everyone enjoys this place so much. It's decent for the price, but would only go to this place if I worked near by and needed a lunch spot. It's also cash only and they charge for refills from the soda machine. I got a longboard burrito and my wife got two soft tacos. She got chicken and ground beef and I got chicken. Their chicken is shredded and pretty good. The ground beef was flavorfull too. Again, not bad but nothing amazing. read more

I hadn't eaten here in a year, and was so exited to get back. I was disappointed:-( we had the kalua pork burrito and the grilled chicken. Both were loaded with meat, but I could not taste the lovely grilled flavor I remembered from prior visits. The guacamole and sour cream ended up all at the bottom-I had to dig for it. read more

The fish burrito was bomb!! Food came quick will definitely stop by every time I visit the big island!

Killer tacos was pretty killer! Crunchy beef taco had flavor and the shell was crunchy and tasted homemade. Chicken burrito had good taste and the tomato wrap was soft. The burrito was filling. I got the spicy sauce, which for me tasted medium. Pork long burrito was huge and had lots of fillings and flavor. Cheese quesadilla was basic, but my son loved it. Customer service was okay, there was one busy lady, who wasn't too friendly. But the girl helping us was. read more

You can take them to go or sit down and dine in which is nice if you just want to grab something quick or sit down. The prices were reasonable and the food is good. They are also decent sized tacos. I got flour tortillas and they're bigger than I thought they would be which is nice because sometimes you order them and get teeny tiny tortillas. Only open til 6pm tho. read more

KillerTacos - Ground beef taco salsa on the side - Mexican Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Came here and got a fish taco, a spicy beer taco and a chicken taco. Not all mixed together those were 3 separate tacos. The fish tacos are evidently more expensive then the other tacos but the fish isn't even local it was Alaskan cod which was surprising to me. As well the spicy beef was not even spicy. The soft tacos are also more expensive then the hard taco shells. It was really good here and a local spot not on the beaten path. As locals said to me outside: "how did you like the tacos? They are pretty killer hey?" Ha read more

KillerTacos - Taro Tortilla Fish Taco - Mexican Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

While they didn't kill me, they were still pretty dang good. Service here was really friendly, even during a rush. Had the fish taco on a taro tortilla (very flavorful, although I wish they had more local fish and not Alaskan cod), a hard taco with spicy ground beef (good flavor, not greasy, could use some tomatoes on top) and a Kailua pork soft taco on a taro tortilla (I thought the pork was a little bland, but my husband had it in a taco salad and loved it). Mild salsa was good, should probably kick it up to medium when I come back. read more

We ordered almost one of everything from the menu. We had spicy ground beef nachos with habanero sauce but neither the ground beef nor the habanero sauce or spicy at all and I am very sensitive to spicy. We also had a hard pork taco and a hard spicy beef taco and they were meh. Now the Fish tacos on the soft tortilla were actually pretty good but not great just good. We also had a chicken burrito and I did not like the chicken as the marinate was very powerful and kind of overpower the taste of the whole rest of the burrito. We also got a fish burrito and a big kahuna burrito and they were basic. The service was very quick compared to most places we had been to. The staff was very friendly as well. Unfortunately, just due to the food being quite basic we would probably not return again. read more
