Surf N Turf Tacos was okay! The staff here was super nice and friendly, but the food was just okay. It might be that I am just used to Southern California tacos, or maybe I needed to try something different.

Being from San Diego, I have replaced one of the major food groups with Mexican Food. I was about two weeks out from our flight to Hawaii, when I started to ponder the question: Does Hawaii have any Mexican Food? The quick answer is Yes, but then it becomes a question is it any good? On our first night in Waikiki, we walked passed the Surf N Turf Taco. It was really close to the Hotel which was a total relief. Though I was really trying my best to get out of my comfort zone in terms of food department. Surf N Turf Taco became my fail safe - though wasn't aware how soon that would be. One of the other things I quickly learned, it's tough to find a Dr.Pepper on Island. Was so relieved when I saw Surf N Turf Taco had it on tap. What truly makes this place special is the owner Grant. Very friendly individual that totally made you feel like welcome. It's a smaller shop but there was plenty of room to grab a quick bite. I did end up picking up more than just a Dr.Pepper and was pretty impressed with the Burrito and Salsa. Was relieved to find Mexican Food day 1.

i am pretty sure service is hit or miss and lately its been a miss .... the couple times i stopped by didnt seem like people were happy to have business....as I was waiting I saw the cooking and assembly ingredients - was not impressed so I walked out-

Supposed to be a bean cheese lettuce tomato sour cream burrito. It had rice- I didn't want rice. Tasted-pure GARLIC POWDER

Grossest burrito I've had in my life! A soggy inside mess that tasted like a mouthful of GARLIC POWDER. I asked for no rice. It had rice. Most disgusting burrito I've ever had. I should have known when I got it home and it smelled like Chinese food and not Mexican food. Gross Gross Gross! I took one bite, spit it out, and threw it away. Waste of money! Very low quality food. Bad chefs. Bad tasting food. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Super disappointed when I got in line to order carne asada fries but the person told me carne asada was only available for online orders. I didn't see any signs that stated that previously. I didn't want to wait to place an online order so I tried their carnitas fries and beer battered fish tacos. The beer battered fish was humongous. It barely fit beside my taco and mouth! It was also very tasty. However, the sauce made my taco very liquidy and made my taco soggy. My fries were pretty basic. You place your order and then you go down the line like Subway or Chipotle. The carnitas wasn't flavorful and very dissatisfying. The line moved quickly though. There's some indoors and outdoor seating. You can also order at the kiosk.

Ordered tacos and the service was quick and great, food was delicious as well. The location is nice since it's in Waikiki and there are many restaurants, etc.

There was hair in my taco and it wasn't a small strand but a long one ! And i was hungry too

Surf N Turf - 3 Stars This was my very first stop after checking into my hotel in Waikiki, and let me tell you--the late-night crowd and laid-back vibes had me sold before I even stepped inside. Watching happy people devour their food outside was all the confirmation I needed. I waited about 15 minutes in line, which wasn't bad. Honestly, I was too busy going back and forth in my head about whether to get tacos or a burrito. After watching a few orders roll out, I landed on a garlic shrimp and Kalbi beef burrito--yes, a wild combo, but baby, it made my night three times better. The flavors blended beautifully, and it hit every craving I didn't even know I had. Inside, the staff was super friendly and patient, even with the rotating, slightly tipsy crowd. They explained the sauces and spice levels like pros and kept the energy up the whole time. My burrito was massive, and I easily had leftovers for another meal. Is this a must-stop compared to other spots in town? Not necessarily. But it's solid, quick, and a great option for breakfast, lunch, or that late-night craving after a beach day (or a few drinks). I can't comment on parking because everyone seemed to be walking the strip--which I recommend. It's the perfect way to walk off the meal. Plus, they've got plenty of fruit juices and drink options to refuel.

I've been ordering from this taco place many times and never disappoint. My go to order either carne asada burrito or carne asada rice bowl. Generous amount of meat and flavor always consistent. Today I ordered garlic shrimp rice bowl with cilantro rice and black bean from Uber Eats.

Grilled fish tacos (front left and back right) and garlic shrimp tacos (back left and front right)

Phenomenal food!! The staff was very friendly, the place was small and comfortable, and the shrimp and grilled fish tacos were unbelievable. We will absolutely be stopping by here again before we leave!!

Great little spot that hilariously feels like a hole in the wall despite being on Kuhio ave which is one of the main areas in Waikiki. Prices are pretty reasonable and the service is pretty fast. I got their carnitas nachos and was huge.

This spot is on a busy street in Waikiki and there are consistently folks coming in and out so we gave it a try and I can see why folks line up for it. You have to line up and pick your entree and all the toppings. They have all of options but it is quick even when it is busy. The go-to here are the 2 taco combo, burrito or asada fries. The asada or fish are solid and I get it with everything, so this ended up being pretty loaded that it took a big bite to get it down. The house sauce is fire but most the sauces are tasty. The salsa is really good and takes the flavor to the next level. It comes with the combo with chips so that is worth getting. If you want a hefty meal the asada fries are loaded and a heavy portion even for 2. There are other options for meats so you can ever go wrong with a tray of tacos!

One thing I noticed was how many customers seemed to be regulars. To me, that's always a good sign when visiting a local restaurant. It was nice to finally check this place out, and I can see why it has built up a loyal following. Glad I finally stopped in!

It is a small to mid sized spot, but still has a good amount of seating. Some window bar seats, and then about 6 tables with chairs and booth seats. The service style is similar to a take out spot (so very minimal), they do ask if you're dining in or taking out, but it seems like you order, seat yourself, and pick up your own food. They would wipe your table down per your request though. Also to note, they have a $3 taco Tuesday deal but it is ONLY for specific tacos AND only during specific hours on Tuesday. We weren't specifically going for the deal so it didn't matter to us, but manage your expectations if you were looking for a deal (esp since some of their tacos are quite pricey) We ordered: * Steak Quesadilla: 7.6/10 This was good, decently cheesy and the carne asada was pretty flavorful as well. * Carne Asada Taco: 7.2/10 Since it's the same steak as the quesadilla it was pretty good as well. I feel like the carne asada has more Asian flavors and spices than Hispanic. It was good regardless. * Carnitas Taco: 7/10 This was good too, similar to kalua pork. * Baja Fish Taco: 8.3/10 This was pretty solid. The fish tasted like it was good quality and the aioli (same as the camarones) was good pairing with the taco * Camarones Taco: 8.1/10 I liked this quite a lot, the cheese skirt brought a nice textual and flavor contrast to the rest of the taco, I also liked the aioli paired with it. If it had slightly more shrimp it would be even better * Horchata: 6/10, this was okay, kind of grainy. I enjoyed everything, my partner on the other hand thought most of the things were just okay. The only thing he really liked was the baja one. Also we would both note that instead of being topped with cilantro and onions, all the tacos had cabbage on top instead? (some had pico with it, some had a little bit of onion). I wouldn't mind coming back but I think my partner would rather not.

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!

With only a few hours between church services on the weekend my fiancé and I tend to go to our…read morenormal hot spots - ramen, curry, burgers, the occasional k-bbq and pho joints. 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 a "double…read moreparking " lot which means if you leave before the person parked behind you then you need to wait or hope they move for you. We got lucky because it was only take out/pick up orders so nobody stayed parked behind us for long. There is also street parking. I had 3 tacos and did 2 chicken and 1 beef. 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.
