    Location: parking available in the bike factory parking lot Wait: Saturday night arrived at 9:15, tacos in hand at 10:40. Menu: 3 combo items - 3 tacos + agua Fresca $20 - quesadilla + agua Fresca $20 - quesadilla + taco + agua Fresca $23 * Ala carte taco $6 As someone who grew up in Cali, spending weekends in Tijuana this is the closest thing on island I've gotten to home!! Well worth the wait to try this spot! As of right now they only have carne asada & chicken but are working on eventually adding al pastor! New spot, which means long lines & wait so please be patient! You can tell they really love what they do. Johnathon the owner was working the stand tonight and reminded me a lot of the family run stands I grew up going to. They fill these tacos to the max with meat & toppings! We only had the beef tacos but they were excellent!! Horchata was delicious. And, the tacos are DOUBLE TORTILLA like back home! We will be back!

    If you're craving legit TJ-style street tacos, Kuko's Tacos is absolutely worth the hype--but come prepared. They're set up right outside the The Bike Factory Honolulu location, and you can either park in their lot or find street parking nearby. Pro tip: get there early. We showed up around 5:50 pm and the line was already building. By the time we got our food, the line was already down the block. The menu is simple: tacos or quesadillas with either chicken or beef (though when we went, it was beef only), plus agua fresca. Today's flavors were dragon fruit and horchata. The tacos are classic SoCal/LA street style--double tortilla, loaded with meat, and topped with cilantro, onion, salsa, and guac. If you want cheese, they melt it directly on the flattop before putting the tortilla on top so you get that crispy cheese crust (highly recommend), though it's an extra charge($3). The tacos themselves? STACKED. No skimping at all--super filling and flavorful. They come with a mild salsa, and there's a self-serve station with lemon and a medium-to-medium-hot spicy salsa. For drinks, the dragon fruit agua fresca was light, refreshing, and just slightly sweet--definitely our favorite. The horchata, unfortunately, wasn't our thing. It was very cinnamon-forward and tasted like it was made from concentrate with a bit of an off aftertaste. A few things to keep in mind: -Everything is served in disposable containers -There's no seating, so expect to eat on the curb or take it to go -It was super windy when we went, which made it a bit cold and probably slowed their setup -They have only been open for a few weeks and are probably still working out some kinks in their flow -Cash or card only They're supposed to be open from 6-11:30 pm (or until sold out), but they arrived around 6:05 pm and needed about 35-40 minutes to fully set up and finish prepping. Even though we were the 4th group in line, we didn't get our food until about 7 pm. That said--still worth the wait. The tacos are incredibly authentic and deliver on flavor and portion. Just bring patience (and maybe a jacket if it's windy).

    Opening Night!

    Just drove by a few weeks later and the line was 50 people deep at 8:15! Gotta go back and see what they have to offer now. The menu looks like it has expanded. I cannot wait!

    Soggy, not worth it.

    Such a great find for Mexican food on the island! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and…read morereally hit the spot--but the bean and cheese burrito deserves a special shoutout. It was simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious. My son, who's from California and very serious about his Mexican food, said it was the best bean and cheese burrito he's ever had--which is definitely saying something! The portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth, and the spicy sauce has the perfect kick with amazing flavor that takes everything to the next level. If you're craving satisfying, authentic-tasting Mexican food, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back!

The crew inside was welcoming, quick, and the meat was on point. They even came outside to check on us. My son is a picky little dude and started picking onions off his chicken quesadilla. I told him to speak up. The guy smiled, said he had it, and brought out a fresh one with no onions. My son crushed it and even used their mild salsa, which is wild because he thinks everything is spicy. My burrito had great flavor and the asada was legit. I even called home for extra orders so everyone could try it. They loved it too. This spot isn't in our usual area, but I'm glad we found it because it's hard to find solid burritos in Hawaii.

Mexican sounded good to everyone so we picked this spot and we're all very happy we did. Our server was kind and attentive. The place was lovely and decorated with just the amount of fun you expect. Some great photo ops in there. He even told us they were having a mariachi band tomorrow and invited us to come back. The food from the start with nachos and salsa to the end with tres leches was all delicious. I ordered the chorizo queso and it was fantastic. My son ordered the guacamole and it was so fresh and limey. Also delicious. My grandkids shared a quesadilla which was definitely large enough to do so with. My oldest grandson ordered a torte and he loved it. Also a generous portion. My son and I both ordered the grande burrito. He got his wet and I didn't. His was served on a plate and mine came wrapped in foil in a basket. I wish it would have also come on a plate. I like to cut it up to eat and the foil made that difficult to do. We ordered the tres leches to go because we were all so full. Enjoyed it the next day. Three of us could share on piece. It's delicious but very rich.

It took a while to order and to get her attention throughout our time there, but we eventually received everything we ordered. The birria was very tasty, with juicy meat and a crispy shell. The Margarita flights were small, mini tastings which left us wanting more (and yes, we did order more). Regarding the tres leches, it's not the greatest we've ever had but not the worst.
