New owners...authentic Mex and good flavor. Counter person was very nice. The new owners are the guys cooking....friendly and want to make everyone happy. The place could use a little decorating and lightening up with color, and they said they are going to do that. A few tables for eat in and they do to go packaged well in good containers "to go" which keep the food hot. Nice to have some good Mexican food...hope they do well. read more

Los Tres Mex is my go to. Small hole in the wall serving up good food at good prices.

Quality: first class. The cheeses, sauces, vegetables, etc, were superb. I have to confess, I felt honored to even go there. This felt like a top star restaurant making a "take home" dish. I'm sorry that I sound like I'm gushing. I don't write many reviews. The chef has "the touch", knows what he is doing. I don't know them. I don't think of Nachos as fine food. I was gob smacked by these. The ambience was fine: clean, warm Mexican music videos, server was personable and friendly. Looking forward to coming back. Wish that they were in Kailua (Oahu). read more

Our go to place for dinner in Waikoloa Village. Yanni and Rafel are always very welcoming and the food is AMAZING. I highly recommend the shrimp ceviche taco salad. My husband loves the pork burrito grande. read more

An unassuming place in Waikalao village. It's a small mom and pop shop run in a food court setting in a strip mall. They have a good menu with combinations, burritos and quesadillas as well as specials like fajitas and tacos. Jarritos, Mexican coke and horchata are on offer too. Their service is fast and they make food on order in disposable containers. Tasty and piping hot food that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend! read more

Hard to find good Mexican food on the island but this place knows how to provide quality service with delicious food! I enjoyed their crispy chimichanga and I had to savor each bite. Make sure to stop by after visiting Hapuna Beach read more

Ordered the "birria" and steak street tacos for taco Tuesday, I've eaten just about every birria place on island and many other places on the mainland. This is just beef they took from their beef burrito put it on a tortilla and called it birria. No cheese no consome. I've made it myself and its 10x better. Just follow any birria recipe on the internet. I actually like trex mex eat there often but this just seems lazy and careless. also 3 ramekens for 9 tacos is not enough. Response to owners reply: This isn't traditional birria, you did not cook it the traditional way you just took meat from your burrito and called it birria, so why are we acting like this is traditional. Also birria is traditionally made with goat. I dont see what the difference is between birria and your beef tacos. I was charged extra for no reason. Birria is traditionally slow cooked in a broth with guajillo, ancho, and Pasilla chiles with many different spices. This is not that. Why act like it is and charge for it? read more

Los Tres Mex - "Birria" - Tacos Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

This place has been in my rotation when I'm back home for ages and for good reason. Ever since they had a location whether in waikoloa or Waimea it's been nothing but greatness! My personal favorites still are the tres combo, burrito grande or any of the quesadillas. All of them hit like a bus and continue to be among the best on the rock can get. Food comes out super fast and how this place remains slept on I'll never know... read more

Had the fish taco and Horchata, both were very good. Also, we had the enchilada and taco combination with rice and beans, excellent as well. read more

Los Tres Mex - Menu - Tacos Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

Now that I've been here a dozen times I can say that the food here is quite good. They have interesting specials from time to time.

This place seemed new (no idea if it actually is), but the area definitely looked freshly built and super quiet. We stopped by for a late lunch after a beach morning and it was totally empty. The woman taking our order was so sweet and friendly. Such a nice change from some of the other service we experienced on the island. She actually seemed happy to be there, which was refreshing. Food: The nachos? Nope. Not good. Wouldn't get them again. But the bean burrito? Soooo good. Super flavorful and actually filling. That definitely saved the meal. The taco salad was also good, but would suggest getting it without the greens. If I'm ever back on the Big Island, I'd come here again for the burrito! read more

Our go to place for good Mexican food that's not overwhelmed with Cilantro. In my opinion they do it right!

Friendly staff and the freshest of ingredients! I have been going for years now and have NEVER been disappointed. I have a burrito supreme and think it is the BEST IN THE WORLD! All there items on the menu are of the highest standards. The portion size is amazing. read more

Yummy Mexican food for an affordable price. Called in a phone order but took a few calls before I could get ahold of someone--we called during a dinner rush. There was a slight wait for food since they were quite busy but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

As close to authentic that you'll find on island! My favorite are their crunchy beef tacos.

Food is great! Mom and Pop restaurant in a casual setting. Owners are very nice, hard working folks, who put a lot of love into the products they produce. I personally love their shredded beef Taco Salad My wife is a fan of the pork Taco Salad. Kids love their wet Burritos in both red and green sauces. Open from 12-7 and they are busy!! One of our weekly stops! Aloha! read more

Food was amazing along with the service. Portion sizes did not disappoint either. I highly recommend them and will be ordering from there again! read more

Just look at my chile relleno takeout box. This is after two days and it is still good. The portion was enormous so I had leftovers for lunch. The rice is fluffy and light. The beans is flavorful. Outstanding food! And it's my husband who is a Mexican foodie, not me. read more

Best burritos on the island. The burritos with wet sauce was huge and amazing at the same time

I got combination #4, which was the enchilada and taco with rice and beans. The taco isn't pictured here because they forgot to include it. Besides that, the food was pretty tasty. People around also stated that they love the food here. They had quite a few people in front of us in line, but got our food out in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Los Tres Mex - Chips and Salsa, tacos, taco salad, & pork enchilada with rice & beans - Tacos Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

We stumbled upon this restaurant after a day of ziplining..... we ordered a burrito, enchilada and crispy pork taco. All were delicious and filling. It does take awhile to get your food because it's made fresh to order. We loved it so much we drove back the next night. You won't regret it!! Meals were affordable for Hawaii prices. read more

This restaurant is located in a small food court of a mixed use complex. We arrived at noon (their opening time), but they weren't open yet. About 5 minutes later, a man came out and rolled up the metal gate. We were ready to order because the menu was posted outside the gate, however he didn't acknowledge us or ask to take our order. Instead, he proceeded to start cleaning the counters and continued to ignore us. We went elsewhere because he obviously wasn't interested in serving any customers. read more

Overpriced. Overhyped. Overrated. We waited over 30 minutes for tacos on a weekday around 5p. The $14 fish tacos are actually ONE taco... yes, this is not a typo. And the taco was average at most. Avoid. read more

Fantastic Food! Staff were very kind. Speedy delivery of the food. Clean atmosphere. Ample seating. Carnitas were best ever had! Beef enchiladas were yum!!!! Salsa was good (little spicy) read more

Super fantastic! Food was amazing! Service was amazing! Food is made to order so they quoted us about 20min, only took 15. So happy with our experience. Only 4 stars cause these guys need a new location. The whole shopping center they're located in is dead and empty. Definitely was a little weird. read more

The fish taco from here might have been the best thing I ate on the island. The dill sauce is outer worldly. Will be dreaming of it days to come. Hot tip: if you're on a time crunch- call in your order at least 20 minutes before. read more

The food was great! Took about 30 mins for the four food items so it's best to call your order in. I love to eat it at home where I add in diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, avocado, serrano peppers and sour cream. Bean & cheese burrito: You have a choice between refried beans or black beans. Carnita plate: You have a choice between four or corn tortilla. I tried both. (Paid extra) read more

Quick delivery of my counter order - chile relleno and pork taco. A sign is posted that reads that food is prepared to order. Guess so! The package was so hot that I could hardly carry it to the car. After unwrapping the package at home, I was greeted by a small ocean of cheese. The relleno was huge and the sides of rice and refried beans were generous. The (soft) taco was good, with plenty of pork. Only regret is why did I wait so long to try this place??? read more

The service was very friendly I called in after reviews stating that they are busy which I seen firsthand when I went to pickup our food. We had chicken flauta and chicken enchiladas plates with chips and salsa. WOW they don't mess around on the salsa a huge container and it was bomb we used it on our plates as well. The salsa has a kick too but we just kept eating the chips and salsa even if it was hot it was so good we have been to Waikoloa many times and how did we not know about this before ? Very good food and we will be back again read more

I Like their food , is usually busy but is probably because is good food. Maybe they could offer breakfast burritos read more

The location is in a strip mall so not really much ambiance here. The food was pretty good, nice sized portions. The service, while friendly was ridiculously slow. I'd hate to see how it would've gone had they been busy. Overall decent Mexican food considering where we are but don't come here if you're in a hurry. read more

I ordered the wet beef burrito, chips and salsa, and a soda. The prices were a little high, but as expected in Hawaii. It was a very hole in the wall spot in the food court of a mall. The seating area was okay, and the service was slow due to how busy they were. However, I'd did feel that their food was pretty good. Not the best I've had, but decent if you want a quick causal bite. I take a star away for the price for what this is, a quick bite versus a restaurant. read more
