Fish taco
Amelia S.

We fell in love with Papi's two years ago. Things have changed somewhat. The tacos are definitely spicier than they used to be, but still good. Service is still friendly and the ambiance of the food trucks is still the same. We got fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and chicken tacos.

Fish Taco and Carne Asada Taco
Jacqueline Z.

Stopped by this food truck for dinner and decided to get a fish taco and a carne asada taco. To start off with the good, the fish taco was loaded with fish. The tacos look small at first glance but are decent size. However, flavor wise, both tacos were lacking... Like they literally tasted like nothing.

Kahuku Sugar Mill敷地内の Wagonがたくさんあるところにあります。。 お店の横に 5種類くらいのTACOSソースが置いてあるので 好きなソース(全部でも可能)とって 敷地内のテーブル椅子でいただくことができます。。 お値段もそこそこリーズナブルで量も多め 具もたっぷりしていてとてもおいしく Beerにもとても良く合うTACOSです。。 こちらでいただいてもいいですが sugarMill内にあるBeer gardenに 持ち込みも可能ですのでBeerを買ってきても そちらに持ち込んでもいただけます。。 駐車場は敷地が広いので なるべく店の近くに停めるのが 楽でいいですね。。

Made a quick stop at the Sugar Mill on the way to Northshore to grab lunch on the go and glad I stumbled upon this shop. I haven't tried much Mexican food in the island but I can say this is legit stuff. Yes, taste was slightly different than in CA but it was still delicious. Staff was nice and food came out hot and fresh. I would definitely recommend this if you are in search of Mexican. I will be back for sure.

Great stop when I visited O'ahu, super flavorful tacos and filling lunch! Would recommend if you're in the nearby area and are looking to get a great Mexican food craving satisfied - Miguel Morales Photography

This is not it

2 super burrito's 2 3 taco plates! $70 bucks! Customer service (Caucasian girl ) was very nice and friendly! Took a bite of my super burrito and I was immediately not impressed at all! don't know if it was spoiled or thats how it is but i it just tasted like grainy Parmesan cheese! THIS IS NOT IT!

Shrimp taco - a little spicy and the shrimp was SO fresh/perfectly cooked. This was our top ranked taco after trying almost all of them.

These are the tacos I've ever had. Also, the kids burrito was a hit for our picky eater. Friendly service and reasonable prices, plus the tacos are absolutely stuffed with meat. We ate here a couple of times while staying on the North Shore - yum!!

3 taco plate - carne asada, pollo, and al pastor (comes with rice and beans); one side al pastor taco; one Super Burrito (it was huge!)
Emma G.

Wow wow wow. SO GOOD. And HUGE portions for the price. Friendly server took our order and it came out really quick too! They have a picnic table just to the side of the truck that has an umbrella for some shade - great spot to sit and chow down on your tacos, burritos, and more while watching the crowd and scoping out dessert. The also offered basically as much sauces/salsa as you want as you can fill up your cups as many times as you want (and they were gooood sauces)! Already dreaming of going back...

The best fish tacos on the Island! I look forward to these every time I'm on North shore! Originally from Cali & I feel like these are way better than any I've ever tried.

$14.50 for a burrito that tastes like it costs $2.00 to make. Minuscule meat portions over a saucy mystery mix. These 5-star reviews gotta be from ignorant tourists from BF 'Merica who will take any slop given to them. The only positive here was the vivacious Argentine counter girl. "Don't cry for me Argentina" ... burritos here will leave you crying for real food.

After scraping some onions off the tacos when we ordered no onions.
Drew R.

We stopped here to eat after Dole Plantation and beach trip. Ordered the tree taco plate and one shrimp taco. There was a small line but it got bigger and food was taking awhile to come out. We ordered no onions and no cilantro (kids meal) on the three tacos. When we finally got our food the tacos were covered with onions and cilantro. The shrimp taco was really good but the carnitas tacos and asada weren't very good. I would come back for shrimp tacos but other than that I would go somewhere else.

Mr husband is from California and is Mexican/Spanish, so he's always on the hunt for good Mexican food on the island. We were in north shore today and he saw this so decided to try it. We got a 3-taco plate (carnitas, carne asada, and shrimp) which came with Spanish rice and beans. It was about $16 We took turns trying out each item: SPANISH RICE: woah. That was the WORST Spanish rice we both had in our life.. overcooked, crumbly, and poorly seasoned BEANS: not as bad as the rice, but still watery CARNITAS TACO: overcooked, too salty CARNE ASADA: woah, even more salty lol SHRIMP TACO: shrimp was cooked well, but still a little salty but this was the best taco of the 3 Will we be back? Sorry, but no.. that was one of the worst Mexican places we've tried on the island lol

3 tacos Al Pastor

Ok burritos but unfriendly service. Couldn't forgive the extra 2 cents on the total. Hot and windy outdoor venue can't be helped.

Seven Brothers was such a great find! We were looking for a late-night dinner spot, and there…read morereally aren't many places open late on the North Shore. We stumbled across this burger spot without expecting much, but wow everything was SO good. Definitely be aware of the burger sizes because they are massive! The fries and house sauce were absolutely phenomenal too. The vibe is super chill and laid-back, the staff is incredibly nice, and the food is seriously delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place and would 100% come back!

They're located at Kahuku Sugar Mill next to the food trucks. It's a cute restaurant with open…read moreoutdoor seating. You order at the counter and they'll give you a number thing and will bring your food to wherever you choose to sit. We wanted to sit outside but the chickens were attacking and fighting for our food :'( they literally jumped onto our table ... so we moved inside lol. The Shez Paniolo was huge! It came with two onion rings and pineapple. Beef patty had a nice smoke flavor. We also ordered a side of onion rings and paniolo. Highly recommend Paniolo; it came with crispy fries (looks like thinly sliced potatoes), bbq sauce and onion rings. I thought food was good. A few ppl in my group thought the burger patty was kind of dry. The decor was cute and beach themed. Overall, customer service was friendly when we were ordering. I noticed a few workers were going around checking on folks and having long conversations but they didn't come to us so whatever. They have clean bathrooms in the back. Plenty of parking available!

Literally the best shrimp I ever had. Absolutely delicious!!…read more I don't say that lightly either. It was otherworldly!! The staff was great too!!!! I'll be back!

I visited this famous spot last week while in Hawaii with my wife, and it honestly did not live up…read moreto the hype. We ordered the Spicy Shrimp and the Shrimp Scampi plates, and neither was impressive. The food came out almost instantly, which proves it is not cooked to order. Because it sits around, the shrimp is incredibly difficult to peel. Anyone who cooks shrimp knows that if you do not peel it right after cooking, the shell sticks to the meat, which was exactly the case here. The Spicy Shrimp had a decent kick, but it lacked actual flavor. The Shrimp Scampi was better but still bland. Honestly, 9 out of 10 shrimp places back home in Southern California make a better plate. To make things worse, the two ladies managing the truck were rude. My wife asked for extra napkins, not realizing some were already in the bag. The worker snapped back, "Are those not enough?" and made her feel super awkward. We also asked for a cup of ice to go with our canned sodas. They flatly refused and told us to ask another truck nearby. Luckily, the other truck owners were much nicer and gave us the ice. Save your time and money. There are much better, friendlier options out there.
