I needed something from Home Depot and they are located right in the parking lot! I ordered 2 asada and one quesabirria tacos. I asked for their hottest hot sauce, which I was told was the red sauce. The order didn't take too long to come out. Again this was an advanced food truck with a remote buzzer to let you know when your food is ready! I guess I'm used to the old school roach coaches where they just yell at you when your order is ready! My overall impression was that the flavors were a little on the bland side, but overall very good. The quesabirria taco was crispy on the outside and with soft melty cheese and moist tender meat on the inside. Adding their not so hot red sauce gave it much more flavor, but it could have used a little more heat in my opinion. Could have also been helped if it came with the consume. My fault, I forgot to order it, but for an extra $3, not sure it would have made that much of a difference. I was very impressed with the little asada tacos. Pretty small, but packed with meat and more flavorful than the quesabirria. Maybe because these came with salsa already applied! That may be the reason. Either way, pretty darn good show for a Hawaiian Mexican experience. I'd do it again. Probably get 3 or 4 asada tacos next time.

There was a very kind lady working, I don't think she spoke English very well but she was very patient with me, being my first time here. I was able to watch the food get prepared right in front of my face which was very nice. The wait time once we got up to the order counter was less than 5 minutes. I ordered the chicken tacos with chipotle and cilantro. Let me just say they were amazing!! Definitely better than Taco Bell. 10/10 recommend this spot to anybody who has a craving for authentic street tacos.

So everything is fresh and my homemade chips for my nachos were warm and crispy. The carne asada nachos was piled high and I just barely finished it all. The service was great and the cashier even noticed the mess I was making to my face and offered some extra napkins. You can find lots of Mexican snacks/candies here along with cooking ingredients for purchase. I will definitely be coming back, because it's hard to find a place that also serves lengua (beef tongue). Well isn't nachos just deconstructed tacos? #bigboyproblems

The other options didn't look as good, so let's order! Got the carne asada plate with the flour tortillas. Slight wait, but the food was worth it! Is it the best in the world? No? Is it good for Hawaii? Damn right! The rice and beans were seasoned well and pretty damn good! The guac was solid and the tortillas were perfectly heated up! The downside, the meat had very little flavor. Did not taste marinated and grilled at all. Assumed it was cooked on a flat top. Slightly disappointed, but it's still way better than a lot of others places here! If you're craving good Mexican food, this is a solid choice!

I'm always on the hunt for great authentic tacos, and I'd been here before with a good experience…read more I loved that it's a family-run, mom-and-pop, honest-to-goodness legit Mexican taqueria -- and that vibe is still there. Unfortunately, not much else lived up to my last visit. The woman behind the counter was not gunning for any friendship or customer service awards. When I asked for extra hot sauce for the 3 tacos I ordered, I was met with a firm "No, only 1!" I clarified -- one per taco, since I bought three. Still "No!" After some negotiating, I talked her into two, but you'd have thought I was asking her to part with a kidney. I asked if they had sodas -- clearly hoping for a Diet Coke. Short answer, and definitely not sweet: "No." She eventually mumbled something about drinks next door. (The lady next door, by the way, was absolutely delightful.) Jalapeños? "No." Chiles toreados? "No." This is simply not the person who should be working front of house. When my order was finally ready, she tried to short me on that hard-won second hot sauce -- you know, the kidney. The food came out hot and fresh, and after that service experience, I was expecting it to be nothing short of amazing. Because really -- how do you treat customers like that if the food isn't blowing people away? Sadly, the hot sauce wasn't hot. At all. And the food overall was pretty good -- not excellent, not amazing, just pretty good. I did enjoy the yellow corn tortillas; soft, warm, and nicely done. The asada was chopped into chunks, which works, and both the asada and birria tacos were topped with onion and cilantro. But here's my honest take, setting the service entirely aside: the Califas taco truck by Home Depot has better food overall. I hate to say it -- I was really hoping to recapture those great tacos from my last visit. It just wasn't meant to be. It can't be that hard to make them like they do in Mexico!

I'll definitely be back -- and next time I'm bringing all three of my sons with me! If you're on the Big Island, do not miss Shaka Tacoz!

If you're coming from Kuakini Side, its before the light on Sea View Circle. I heard they open every other Saturday, so my suggestion is to show up early to beat car traffic and customers because it fills up fast. Order: 2 Mulitas - pork & beef 3 tacos - pork, tongue, beef Drink - horchata I'm not a fan of cilantro so everything was without cilantro. Only thing I didnt enjoy was the drink but it helps when you're downing a spicy taco. (Friends input) I've never been a fan of horchata, it's just too sweet for me but my friend enjoyed it with ber taco bc it was too spicy. I didnt find the sauce to be spicy. The meal was enjoyable, authentic and fresh. Very pricey. Mulitas are 4.50 and tacos are 3.50. We arrived before they opened and watched people parked, ordered a to go plate or stayed. It gets full really quick and it definitely didn't die down. Parking is really tight for trucks, not many stay to eat in, a lot of people order to go so although it gets full, it doesn't last that long.
