Deluxe steak burrito
Joe L.

I haven't been here in years. We arrived at 7:00 p.m. on a Saturday night and of course, they were busy but we got lucky and were seated right away. We had excellent service. Water, chips & salsa were brought right away. They brought us a second chips & salsa because our order took over 30 minutes. I had the steak burrito deluxe and my friend had the quesadilla. We both enjoyed our meals.

Flauta Chicken
BchBum B.

After reading recent reviews I was a bit skeptical about trying this place. Boy was I glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews. The food we had was amazing. Actually the best I have ever had. We had the chicken Flautas (chimichangas) with side of beans. The beans were so tasty as the Flautas were. Great salsa and guacamole too!! If I had to say something that I personally didn't really like, it would be their chips. A bit oily but that did not keep me from scarfing them down. The waitress and hostess were both very inattentive and kind. The whole place was comfortable and fun. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Went back a couple days later and had the Chicken Flauta and Bacon Cheeseburger with a side of onion rings. Not disappointed at all. It was a Friday evening so it was loud from the bar area. Still worth going for the food.

Corona Margarita

Hear from California visiting one of my dear friends. She recommended this place so here we are. We came around lunch time and lucky for us there was no wait. It was very chill and kickback. My friend ordered the flautas and I ordered the shrimp burrito. I also ordered a Corona margarita. All in all a great experience and food was delicious. Thanks, to our server Alyssa.

Carnitas 10/2023

First night on this side of the island - we needed some Mexican after a stop at Long's. Again, reminded by the locals that "non-tipping people are assholes" from a bar patron, and if you've ever worked in a service industry, you know that to be true. The pork was cooked perfectly - the pork fat was like butter, and made for a perfect mixture with the accouterments for my burrito. Our waitress made sure our waters were full, I had all the beer I needed, and delivered our food the second it was ready. What more could I ask for? Along with a tecate, it was a perfect end of the day Mexican meal that hit all the right notes.

Pāhoa Fresh Fish is pure joy on a plate. If you know, you…read moreknow. Pāhoa Fresh Fish is one of those places that instantly puts you in a better mood before you even take a bite. The fish is consistently fresh, perfectly cooked, and incredibly ono, especially the mahi, which somehow manages to be tender, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. What really sets this place apart is the unique way they prepare the fish. It's simple, honest, and done right no gimmicks, just skill, care, and respect for good ingredients. You can taste the experience and the love in every bite. This is the kind of food that makes you stop talking for a second because you're too busy enjoying it. And let's talk about the French fries, because they deserve their own shout-out. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, perfectly seasoned absolute comfort food perfection. Paired with the fish, it's a combo that never misses. The vibe at Pāhoa Fresh Fish is just as good as the food. It's friendly, down-to-earth, welcoming, and full of aloha. The people working there are kind, relaxed, and genuinely happy to see you. It feels like a place made for the community, not just another stop to grab food. This spot creates a lot of happy, happy people. You see it in the smiles, the satisfied silence at the tables, and the way folks keep coming back again and again. We're incredibly lucky to have a place like this in our town a place that feeds people well, lifts spirits, and brings a little extra joy into everyday life. Mahalo nui loa to Pāhoa Fresh Fish for the amazing food, the good vibes, and all the full bellies and happy hearts you've given our community. Mahalo KAPONO JIM

For a non brick and mortar store. I like them!!!! So looking over to the right next to the fruit…read morestand is La Jefa island tacos. Had to get the fish tacos, because you are in Hawaii, the super burrito birria because why not. Was not disappointed on the other hand I was very pleased with my choices . I had to ask for extra pickle pepper , just needed the extra acid and heat. I also had the freshly made churros with cinnamon sugar. Crispy crunchy soft in the middle. Luck I had some vanilla ice cream in the freezer. Perfect match. Service was on spot . Everyone wore masks , they had a dedicated person for taking orders, another cooking, and one doing the final finish work. . Will come back

Ok, finally found this place setup after couple no-shows. Really wanted to like ( or love) the food…read moreafter much anticipation. Pros: friendly/fast service, composite earth friendly containers. Cons: very bland food. Thankfully brought home and doctored up with everything Mexican we had...( onions, salsa, sour cream, hot sauce, Avocado, cilantro, even cheese!)!! Had we bought to take to eat elsewhere, we wouldn't have eaten sadly. No slow cooked authentic taste at all. Hubby had Carne Asada burrito grande, after first bite he said meat was like ground beef. He couldn't see any sour cream, cheese either so he wasn't happy having to put our own toppings on to make it enjoyable. My lengua quesadilla grande was supposed to have extra toppings inside as well but just got meat/cheese. Both meats very diced , and rice/beans also NO flavor, 22 bucks, sadly won't be back.
