Wanting Mexican for dinner tonight so decision where ? No Taco Bell lol so I looked on Yelp and I seen Auntie Nadine .C post . Must be ok so i ordered take out the lady over the phone said it will take about 15mins . Got there around 20minutes and YES my order was ready yay . Service was friendly and efficient. Ochos 888 is located on the corner of Kapahuluu and Kaimuki Ave. Parking is on Kaimuki Ave although very limited about 4-5 stalls behind the restaurant. I ordered their 2 chicken taco plate comes with Mexican rice and refried beans . The taco itself did not have taste so I added the Salsa and it was good . My wife had their chicken quesadilla which she said was very good . Support local

Nachos!! Yes! The cheese sauce was amazing! Chips fresh and crisp. Great service. Burrito was filled with great meat and beans! Super glad we decided to swing in to grab some yummy food!

love that there is Peruvian cuisine in town! There isn't a lot of these types of businesses here and i'm happy theres one nearby that's not an hours drive up north or to the west side. Their menu is pretty decently sized with lots of different things to choose from. we ordered the scallops which is presented flaming tableside and a mix of calamari and ceviche to start. Everything was delicious! the only thing is that the calamari got a little soggy since it's sitting on some of the ceviche juices, but the apps were delicious otherwise! For our entrees i got the loaded fries and my friend got a burrito bowl with asada. I think it would be nice if there was options to add on veggies or something to the bowl, but otherwise the entrees were great too! There is about 8 parking stalls in the back of the building which is great! kapahulu is known to not have any parking so this is a bonus! i also love that they are super dog friendly! i hope they get to stick around! this particular spot has a huge turnover and i've seen different businesses over time, so hopefully they do well because their food and service here is really good.

Great Latin/Mexican restaurant in Honolulu near Leonard's Bakery, Excellent service! I ordered the steak quesadilla's and they were prepared well and had a great flavor. Although the restaurant is small the tables were not close together. Service was fast, friendly and attentive.

This is a new place in Kapahulu that we wanted to try. We're from California and been craving for an authentic Mexican food. This was highly recommended from people around the area. Anyway, we tried yesterday and excited to try. We ordered the food on the pictures. We were happy we came during happy hour when tacos are only $4 ea. and the rest are $5 off. So anyway, the ambiance and location is great and does represent the borders!!! The lady who helped us is very friendly and hospitable! The price is very reasonable; however, the food was subpar. It did not look or taste like Mexican food. The cheese was watery and the nachos were soaked with too much soup. The tacos were also disappointing; the meat was too big and tough. I have to be honest and true to myself... I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Not really a dive but a great hole in the wall establishment. Service was fast, friendly and accommodating. I opted for the Lomo Saltado and it was one of the best meals I've had in the last few days here in Waikiki. Honestly I chose this restaurant because of its location away from all the hustle and bustle of the Ala Moana center area. What a great decision as we arrived early enough to find a spot in their parking lot. It was also meant to be as I tried to go to Leonard's bakery this morning but kept on driving when I saw the line. Ochos 888 was a block away so I grabbed some Malasadas to enjoy after dinner. The place was full by the time we left so it's no secret they're serving up tasty fare. Highly recommend.

Had lunch and enjoyed great portions, awesome attentive service (with spot on recommendations) in a nice atmosphere. There was a little bit of ambient noise with cars on Kapahulu, but just grab a table in the back and it's not noticeable. Ordered the Parmesan scallops and steak fajitas and it was plenty of food for 2. The scallops were a standout and have a fun fire element for a wow moment. The fajitas were Ono - they offered both corn and flour tortillas with that dish and a delicious, well seasoned plate of rice and beans. Will definitely be back to try the ceviche and more of the Peruvian menu items next time!

Very clean and spacious interior! First time having a meal here and I also tried one of the cocktails. Paloma i believe it was called. Refreshing and dangerously delicious. Ordered that while the food was being made. Was able to Steak and Noodles to go! They sent me home in a homey brown paper bag with my meal inside. I opened the plate and my nostrils were woken, my taste buds were overstimulating. Just the smell of the dish, I knew it was gonna be beautiful. Took my first bite of the noodles first, loved it. Very different but love how it was made. Then the steaks and veggies separately. Steak nicely seasoned, the veggies also gave the kick that was there a nice blanket over. If that makes sense. Tried it both together and I'm ready to order again! Thanks ochos! Highly recommend.

Welcomed and seated by Andy - he offered one of the boys a sample of the chicha morada - try before you buy. It was so nice. And delicious! They really liked it! We easily found parking in the back. And are happily here for a first try on this friday night. This place is decorated for Halloween. So cute! The carnitas nachos and burrito were awesome, and the classic ceviche was on point. The fajita (veggies) were so flavorful and nice and steamy hot. The beer was cold and just what was needed to top it off! Looks like we found another Friday night stop!!

Sherrie K.

Thank goodness Ochos is better than the place that was here before. Alejandro's was terrible... Ochos has a really small menu of mostly ceviche, a few entrées like lomo saltado, tacos and burritos. The lomo saltado was disappointing--no real flavor to differentiate it from flank steak sauté with vegetables. The only real difference was that it was served on a bed of French fries. The tacos were tasty and the burrito was average and pricey. Service is a bit slow but friendly. Free parking in back or in the neighborhood.

Great place to go for authentic Peruvian cuisine - iniw i'm basing my review solely on what Inate: 1) the scallops - definitely a Lima dish. Yes Italians have had a huge influence on Peruvian dishes - so YES! Parmesan on top of scallops is a thing! 2) The ceviche - again seems to be more Lima influenced and yes you can request it tocbe mild medium or spicy - so it is worth the penny you spend! 3) Lomo Soltado - the history behind this dish is due to the Chinese immigrants in the 1800s; basically a beef stir fry with onions, tomato's, and yes anajo amarillo (think poblano pepper but yellow in color and very mild not a spicy pepper like chile or habanero. Very good but they need to incorporate anejo amarillo to this dish to make it complete - otherwise it just onions, tomato's and beef. and yes it has french fries stir fried into the dish as well traditionally. and is usually served with a bed of rice., 4) No Cusqueña or Inca Gold beers - i guess they had Cusqueña yesterday or the other day but sadly tonight no Cusqueña. And fro. what I saw no Inca Cola either! You fellow Coca Cola lovers - guess where Coca Cola comes from? Yup Peru!!!! The original Coca Cola recipes used the coca plants to make their Coca Cola - but because of the whole narcotic issues yeah they removed the coca ingredient but kept the name. They have the sacred Inca cross on the wall when you enter and can see it. Even the manager I educated him on what it actually meant. He was completely unaware of what the significance was - and was extremely impressed by my knowledge - and was very much appreciative of me explaining the Inca cross a fusion of cultures really. My barista - Was vmVERY impressed with her knowledge of all. She from a war torn country - getting better over there and she was very pleasant to speak with - and was impressed with her ability to speak fluent Spanish! Always like when others know more than 1 language outside of their native tongue!!!! Ooooh they even have merch you can purchase - trucker hats! Love supporting locals!!!!

Dinner in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii... My church friends and I decided to try this relatively new restaurant on the corner of Kaimuki Avenue and Kapahulu Avenue: Ochos 888 This space used to be the second location of Alejandros. (The original location of Alejandros is in Kalihi Valley.) We easily parked in one of the designated stalls on Kaimuki Avenue that's shared with its sister restaurant, Sunrise Shack, next door. We were seated under one of the televisions. The volume was up, so it was a bit loud and made conversation challenging. The interior is pleasant with a small stage for live music and other performances. Service by the female staff was friendly and efficient! The two male owners stopped by to check on us. Thank you! I got the Two Taco plate and chose a chicken and a steak taco. The double flour tortillas held the meats and seasonings well. The Pico de Gallo was spicy for me, but the rice and beans helped balance it out. The iced water was much appreciated! We had a great experience! My friends got the Peruvian Steak and Noodles dish - they liked it!

Cheryl L.

The location was perfect considering we got parking, staff was so friendly and welcoming. Love the owners- they both stopped by to welcome us and the food was on point- they know what they are doing here for sure so make sure u come hungry Love the big windows inside- we sat by the main road. Bathroom clean and smelled good- hey I know you need to ask with kids. Love the spot.... Don't sleep on this one.

Amazing!! We ordered the parm scallops, Yukka fries, salchipapas, and the Lomo saltado. Food was so good and super flavorful. We especially loved the chicha morada drink! It's a traditional Peruvian drink (juice) made from purple corn, pineapple, cloves, & cinnamon. We were so surprised at how delicious it was and the owner makes it from scratch. Atmosphere and service were excellent as well. Highly recommend this place!! read more

I was highly anticipating the opening of this restaurant! We need more restaurants on Kapahulu. The food was amazing! The hamachi classic cerviche with the tiger milk sauce was out of this world delicious! I could drink that sauce! The flaming Parmesan scallops were impressive and they do not spare the Parmesan. The tacos had an ample amount of meat and the tortillas were very fresh. I loved the smoky flavor of the salsa. And I'm craving the cucumber lime agua fresca, so refreshing. I'm glad they have special drink options for people who don't drink alcohol. The service was very attentive and friendly. I'm so happy they opened and I can't wait to go back! read more

I don't say this lightly... this is one of the best meals I have had on the island. Once in the door, we were met with service that clearly felt pride in their restaurant. And it was warranted. The fresh look of the restaurant I enjoyed before was perfect for the upgrade on the menu. Everything we ordered caused us to pause and reflect on the flavors of Peru that we weren't used to. Simply . We had the scallops (so good) and the fajitas, which I chose to have without toppings just to enjoy the flavor of the protein. Lastly, the chocolate tres leche was so light and wonderful. Don't miss this. Seriously. read more

This amazing hidden gem tucked inside the famous Kapahulu Street. Next to the world famous Leonard's Malasadas bakery. The ceviche with citrus and assorted vegetables are something that pairs very well with the Spanish rich and beans. The lomo saltados with steak deep fried fries. Was savory yet had some hint of garlic. Ultimately the sauce made that dish go above and beyond . Definitely recommend having a few drinks. Me and my wife don't drink so we had the cucumber lime agua Fresca. Was a hot day so it went down pretty well. read more

Well, my wife an I had the craving to enjoy some Latin food. YEs you have options in Honolulu, but in the Big Island we only have 1 option, Mexican food. We were so happy to know that the restaurant not only had Mexican food by Peruvian food! If you have never tried it, you are missing a great lunch or dinner. Their scallop appetizer is to die for, we actually had 2 of them, the Peruvian Salteado and the Peruvian Steak and Noodles, WOW, the taste! Don't just think about this restaurant about as a Mexican Restaurant, the name says it all, Ochos Latin Blend of Culture and Food! Sam and Gina the owners, they will treat you like family, they actually sat at our table and showed the pictures of the plates, to make sure we ordered what we were craving! Oahu try it!

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.

First, being Hawaii, decent means not using pasta sauce to replace pico, not using shredded processed cheese, and not using refried beans from a can. Don't think of comparing this to that "authentic ethnic" spot in LA or the over border drunken stint in TJ. All the requisites from tortas, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, sopas including pozole and menudo, on offer. Complimentary C&S, just OK. Kinda soggy chips and the watery salsa doesn't much depth despite being fire roasted and not much spice heat. No complaints on the basic rice and refried beans that accompanied the large, stuffed trio of chicken empanadas (usually comes with two, add an additional for $5). Flavorful enough but not that complex mole. They are finished off with some sour cream, raw onions and crumbled cotija. Solid. Fast, friendly service with servers who seem to know their regulars well. Fair pricing with almost everything sub $30. It is what it is. Not bad for Hawaii and works to scratch the Mexican itch.

My personal favorite is the jalapeño margarita made with infused tequila. It's spicy and savory and totally hits the spot. The food is also great.

The restaurant is open air which would be beautiful on a sunny day, but since our weather has been anything but consistent these past few months, you'll never know what you're going to get. The waitresses here were so friendly and so efficient. We waited less than 15 minutes for anything we ordered and the margaritas were delicious. I ordered the Pineapple Margarita at first and thought it was super tasty and refreshing. Then, I decided to get the Jalapeño Margarita because why would I not? Lol I ordered the Birria Tacos which were perfect because I was served two chicken tacos with consome and that filled me up quickly! I am not familiar with too many spots on the island s that serve good Birria tacos except one. However the ones served here are yummy! I would recommend ordering them.

Only difference now is they are a sit down establishment serving margaritas and the like. I try carne asada at almost every Mexican eatery I stop at and this place rises to the top. Authentic taste; as if you were somewhere in Mexico. Any menu item is well flavored. That's all you need to know. Oh, their portions are huge so be mindful when ordering. If I had to pick one thing bordering negative it is the location as they are on Kalihi Street well into the Kalihi Valley. But, you will get used to it after your first visit; afterall, it's worth the journey into the "valley" Couple things you should know and that is chicken enchiladas are not made daily.

But we were looking for something different, quick, and tasty. That's what we got at K-Mex HI although to be quite frank - the parking lot here is terrible! Mostly due to their location in the middle of the street with a handful of street parking locations shared with multiple other businesses down the lane. It took us 3 rounds of driving before we ended up deciding it was better to drop me off to order and pick up the food and have my man drive around into another larger parking lot to wait the 15-ish minutes it would take for our food to be ready. The owners were so nice. Answering all of my insistent questions, smiling when I ended up ordering something different from what they recommended on the menu (my bad - it's a question I ask all businesses even though I usually decide what I want beforehand LOL). They asked if I needed a bag, if I needed utensils and napkins, and even checked in on me while they made the food! Awesome service and I'm sure it would be the same if we decided to eat in. I liked the atmosphere. It was small but homely, clean, and there were a few small fish tanks in the corner! 15-ish minutes later, food packed up - I jumped back in the car and we drove down to South Shore Market in Ward to eat at the tables and take a glance if Ocean Taste's line was... long (it was). And let me tell you... the food? Delicious. The amount of food? Good for the price! And overall pretty darn great experience. I wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy pork (not my preference). But my fiancé liked it and his only comment was that it was a bit greasy for his liking. Reminded him he was in-fact eating spicy pork which is normally served on his plate lunch in a piece of tinfoil so the oil doesn't get everywhere! The carne asada was super delish along with the gochujang hot sauce cups we found at the bottom of the bag. I'd get K-Mex HI again if I was in the area but I'd love to see them in another location where I can more easily park! That's the only real bummer about this place and has deterred me from returning. :(

They have several sauces to choose from that range from hot to hotter imo lol...a Tapatio and some other brands. Mine actually tasted great without it. The restaurant has a few tables, a couple fish tanks, flat screen tvs and just an overall cute vibe. Everything looked clean.

This Peruvian restaurant has a charming and welcoming atmosphere. I was excited to try authentic Peruvian food in Hawaii, especially since there aren't many options here. I was most excited to try the lomo saltado, and it definitely did not disappoint--an amazing dish! A Peruvian client sitting next to us even mentioned it was up to standard, which made me feel even more confident in the quality. I'm also a huge fan of calamari, and while theirs was good, it was a bit too oily for my liking compared to what I've had on the mainland. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was lovely, and it seemed like the owner personally checked in with many of the customers, which added a nice touch. Overall, a great experience and a must-visit for anyone looking to try Peruvian cuisine in Hawaii. read more

This Peruvian restaurant on Oʻahu is a total standout. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home with friendly, attentive service. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and vibrant--great for a casual night out or a special dinner. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was bursting with bold, fresh flavors and clearly made with care. The fusion of cuisines is done so well--it feels natural, creative, and incredibly satisfying. read more
