    Asada burrito
    Andrea O.

    Just moved into the neighborhood and was scoping out the new food options around the block. Drove past Sergs and the craving for a burrito kicked in. WARNING the parking lot is tiny so you may have to find parking nearby. As soon as I arrived I could tell this place was swamped with Togo orders and shortly after the line grew substantially for people waiting to place their orders. I ordered a taco because on Tuesday they have TACO TUESDAY ! And I wanted to make sure it was worth coming back for . The asada was good! Not dry I just wished I'd asked for some salsa but the lady was busy and I'm guessing because of Covid they probably have everything packed up individually. Besides that I could tell that the taco was good and a decent size for the price. My asada burrito was also good, meat was nicely cooked you get a whole plate of food which ended up being my lunch for the following day. I am definitely coming back here for taco Tuesday !

    Carne Asada Fries
    Jennifer S.

    Four stars for the Carne Asada fries. Two stars for everything else I've tried. I first started with the Flautas, recommended here, but wasn't impressed with them or their value (seems a small portion for nearly $9). Subsequently, I ordered other things but forgot to ask for no sour cream, so that disappointment was partially my fault. Eventually I spotted the Carne Asada fries, and I don't know that I'll try anything else now. Reasonably flavorful and decent portion size, seems a better value for my nine bucks than the much-touted flautas. Wait time is okay, especially if you can hang out under the tent. You don't have many choices for Mexican on campus, and it seems about on par with the state of Mexican food on Oahu. The location has moved - it's now between Campus Center and Kuykendall.

    Al Pastor Cali Burrito + Hot Sauces
    Ruby S.

    What a day! Tried to order tortas, and they were out. Attempted to get sopes and informed it's sold out. Rushed to get Al Pastor Cali Burrito. Service was a breeze. Size of burrito was just right and filling looked appealing. Loved taste and spices of Al Pastor (pork) and hot salsas. Disgusted with carb overload of potato sliced like fries in flour tortilla. I don't think potatoes and flour tortillas go together. Reminded me of two bland carbohydrates joining forces. I'll make sure next time to read the fine print before ordering take out.

    Taquitos
    Nalani C.

    Delicious street style tacos! I was a little shocked by the price since I was used to the mainland but eh. That's the cost of living here. I had the carne asada tacos and taquitos! Everything was extremely delicious and flavorful. The parking can be a little tight but everyone's usually really good if someone needs to move. It's a great hangout spot for large groups if you can come when it's not super busy. We came after a baseball game so there was about 5 families in our party. The kids had fun playing foosball and the adults enjoyed each other's company in its laid back atmosphere. It's also BYOB! We also tasted the wings and carne asada fries from next door. They were super delicious as well! Not your traditional wings since you literally get the entire wing! We will definitely come back if we're in the area again.

    Beef flauta plate! $9.37
    Eri S.

    Serg's is going to be here at UH Manoa permanently or so they say. Let's hope so!!! Their food is traditional, hearty and delicious. Tentative Summer 2017 schedule is: Tuesday/Thursday on in front of the John F Kennedy Theatre on E. West Rd. Monday/Wednesday/Friday at the Cafeteria. But they mentioned that eventually be in front of UH Manoa's Cafeteria Monday through Friday. :D My first but not my last Steak Flauta! The description says it's lightly fried but don't take that lightly. I feel like it's more of a chimichanga than an oversized flauta. It's hearty and the amount of meat chunks is generous. The tortillas' crispy goodness holds up well under the guac salsa (verde) and queso fresco (crumble cheese). There's also plenty of fresh cilantro adorning the sauces on top. The portion is large. Enough for 2 meals for me, so I'll be saving half for later. The fat girl in me wants to finish the whole thing right now but I will resist. XD You know good and well that there aren't many good Mexican food choices and even less food trucks in Honolulu. Being Latina and growing up with Empanadas and carne asada on the parrilla I'm always looking for some down Latino flavors. They are one of the good ones. So if you're near UH Manoa come check them out! I have a picture of the cool chef Inaris!

    It's great to have Serge's now on campus next to the POST building. It looks like they've hit the ground running. I had the chicken burrito place for about $8.50, and you get an ample amount of black beans and Spanish rice with that. The burrito is smaller than Verde Kaimuki's burrito at $7 but you get way more food overall. The food came out quickly and nice and hot. They doubled up on dispensers for three of their salsas (avocado, salsa verde, and one other red one that was hot) that you can flood onto your lunch plate. Mas salsa por favor! That they have two locations besides this along with their hot wings stand, they leverage their experience in running this here. This is authentic Mexican food; something you can't find on campus, and rare in Hawaii. They even have flautas, their specialty. Orale!

    Steak taco plate
    Bella F.

    Coming from California, I have high expectations for how my tacos should taste. As you all should know, Hawai'i is not really known for any authentic Mexican food. However, I believe that Serg's is home to the best tasting tacos on the island! I first went to their original location in Mānoa in the year 2012, and I've been a loyal fan since. I'm glad they finally decided to have a truck on campus, as it's now much more convenient. Though the salsa may actually be what's making their tacos taste so good, their meat is usually cooked to be tender as well.

    Little ROCK I found in my flauta this weekend!!!!! Wth! Luckily it did not crack any teeth!
    Janna W.

    Let me just say first, that I normally love Serg's. I will drive all the way to Manoa to have some yummy flautas! BUT this is what I found in my flauta this past weekend! I little ROCK. Luckily it did not crack a tooth, seriously!!!!! I would usually say 5 stars! But my last visit made me wonder. Ok well, maybe this only deserves a 2 star deduction you say? Perhaps, but as soon as we sat down to eat, they literally cranked up the music 3 or 4 times louder than it had just been playing. And yes, it's outdoors seating, but I could barely hear myself talk! =(

    Flouta
    Stephanie D.

    The Serge's food truck showed up across the street of my work place about a month or two ago. And boy, it has been busy ever since! You can find the truck right across Teaspresso around 11-2 pmish. Normally it's just two people manning the truck and supplies are limited. There is an array of burritos, tacos, carne asada fries, and my new fave, floutas! Picture a giant taquito, it is lightly fried filled meat of choice, cilantro, onions and cheese topped in a green salsa with rice and beans. You've heard of burritos and tacos and enchiladas. BUT have you ever heard of a flouta? First time I had this I almost got up and danced!! I couldn't believe I've never had such deliciousness before! If you like taquitos and you like Mexican food, then you gotta try one! You're welcome in advance

    Grilled chicken and grilled fish

    Arrived at 4pm for taco Tuesday. I got the grilled fish and grilled chicken. They brought it out quickly. Only toppings were cilantro, onions and a generous portion of limes. They also let me choose a salsa. I went with a mild green version. Pros: -$2 / taco seemed fair - quick, friendly service - grilled fish option - accept credit cards - they have a single stall bathroom Cons: - fish and chicken were pretty dry - no self service vegetable toppings like I see in California Nothing special here. Ok food but I wouldn't pay full price for the tacos

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. I think it's Tuesday and Thursday? Not sure but it is limited. If you don't already know, their Kapahulu location closed a few years ago. They do intend on opening another location in Pauoa Valley I'm told and another location in Pearl Kai... I hope I'm not spreading rumors.... Regardless.... get there or be square!

Most of the afternoon crowd seemed to know each other, which gives the place a comfortable neighborhood feel. That said, the inside is a little dingy and could probably use a renovation. The issue on this visit was the service. When we got there, it was pretty empty, maybe 4 or 5 people sitting at the bar. The guy working behind the bar seated us, but then never brought menus, never brought water, and never came back to take our order. When my friend tried waving him down, he ignored us. Eventually another employee came in, and the bartender just told him, "Go take his order," without acknowledging us at all. I don't know if he was only working the bar that day, but he could have at least brought water, menus, or simply said someone would be right with us. Instead, the whole interaction came across as dismissive and unnecessary. Food was very good as always, but service matters too. Based on this visit, I'd call it 3 stars overall.

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!
