    Cali burrito
    Daphne D.

    Got the Cali burrito but they ran out of beef and pork, so I went with chicken instead. Waited over 30 minutes in line starting at 5:30 PM. Pro tip: call 15 minutes before they open to skip the line and score free guac. Food took about 10 minutes once ordered. Burrito was tasty but a little too salty for me. Outdoor seating available--nice casual spot to chill. Plus, there are other food trucks nearby if you want to explore more options.

    Carne Asada Taco & Shrimp Taco with beans and rice.

    SO glad I stopped by here. I've seen the truck on my past visits to the island, but never tried them out... Until now. Had I known what I was missing, I never would have waited this long! While you wait to order, they have 6 "hidden" wrestling action figures you can look for. We found 4 (I guess we have to go back to find the other 2... darn!). The crew was so friendly and welcoming. Onto the food. Carne asada taco- super flavorful. The shrimp taco was AMAZING. Absolutely delicious. The rice... ooomg... can I have the recipe?! All in all, this will definitely be a repeat when I visit again. Thanks Taco Libre!

    Asada and pork burrito.  Toasted nicely with guacamole on the side. Delicious!

    One of the most legit spots on Kauai. Food was great and tasted how I expected it to taste - like back home in LA where we have lots of great Mexican food. They do it right here! Located in a little group of food trucks. Go across the way for some awesome shave ice and coffee too. You won't regret it here in Koloa. Guys were friendly and took our order over text. Get it in before 1045am to pickup and save time!

    If you're looking for Mexican food on the island, look no further than this unassuming taco truck. The burrito was excellent with a flour tortilla griddled to perfection and a good mix of rice, beans, cheese, meat, and cabbage. I got a side of guacamole that was super tasty as well. It did not take too long for my food to be ready, and I dined with others near the trucks. I'll absolutely return.

    Found Taco Libre on IG a couple weeks before our Kauai trip. I was very impressed with what they stand for and what they don't. Aaleiyah and Christian make a great team and they make great food. Tried the Cali Burrito. It's all about the fries. Next trip I have to try their version the Loco Moco. Can't wait. Check them out. Don't forget to order your drinks NO ICE

    Cali burrito goodness

    Not only the best Mexican in Kauai, but the best Mexican food in Hawaii! We tried the Cali burrito, Meximoco, Chile relleno and elote corn. All were so delicious and my family loved every dish. Cali burrito was definitely our favorite and might be one of the best burritos I've ever had. I can see why they were awarded #3 food truck in the US from Yelp. The two that were selling in the truck were super cool and friendly. And the truck is set up in such a beautiful spot in Koloa. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. I made sure to ring that bell in the back after that awesome meal. Mahalo Taco Libre!

    Got the chicken & fish tacos and a (massive!) pork burrito. Great portions for the price and totally delicious. We were both well-stuffed. Took our food to go & ate outside the botanical gardens as we awaited our tour - had a family of 5 stop in their tracks and ask "Where did you get that?! " and heartily thanked us for the advice when we directed them to Taco Libre. Their salsa choices are off the charts as well. Soooooo so good!

    The California burrito was amazing, and the elote corn was also incredible! Really love the different salsas and the vibe at the little food truck park!

    Burrito - Cali
    Amber P.

    BOMB a** Food - Delicious salsas - Worth the journey Not much else to say other than go get yourself a taco. I have traveled to several places in Latin/Central America and am always a little bummed when I order Hispanic food in the states because it's never the same. Welp, this is one that is a close contender for the best tacos/burritos I've had in the U.S. So good we came back twice! We came right when they opened so didn't have too long of a wait, between both visits we ordered a shrimp taco, carne asada taco, cali burrito and a seafood burrito. Cali burrito? Best burrito I've ever had, hands down. It has pork and carne asada with crispy French fries inside, plenty of fixings...what a delicious combo. Carne asada tacos hit the jackpot, spiced and cooked to perfection. Shrimp was tasty and the seafood burrito was jam packed with flavor and fillings. The salsas are a must try, they reel in the flavors of the dish and made it an outstanding meal. It's in a cool location just on the outskirts of the little downtown, you're close to a brewery and plenty of other shops. They even had live music onsite! The staff are THE friendliest and go the extra mile to make sure your order is right and the food is top tier. Gotta go - I'm telling ya, it's worth it!

    Great Mexican food, and in Hawaii of all places. We got the Cali burrito. It was great and had both carne asada and al pastor meat. Solid salsas on the side too. Burrito was a bit small, but it was good. I lived in Mexico for a few years and I think any Mexican spot that only has Pepsi and not Coke is a little sus. The truck is in a nice little park with plenty of places to sit. Food came out pretty quick and they opened right when they said they would.

    Friendly smiling people here

    OMG, This place is the bomb!! Best fish taco that I've ever eaten. Hands down. Fresh mahi mahi smothered with all the delicious sauces. I also ordered one of the pork tacos. Very good, especially if you like your food with a little heat. It definitely had some spiciness. But the fish taco was AMAZING. Next time, I'm just going to order two of those. Yes, I'll be back again soon!!

My summer rolls were awesome. They tasted fresh and came with a dipping sauce. They had plenty of shrimp inside!! The chicken skewers were also good, lots of flavor but seemed a little dry without the peanut dipping sauce. My In laws liked the pad Thai but mentioned they wish it came with more shrimp. The tapioca pudding with coconut milk was really good and refreshing after a long day in the sun. The wait time was only about 15-20 minutes and there were a few picnic tables outside to sit at and wait for our food. The lady at the window was very nice!

    A Hole in the wall called "Da crack" with a painting over the window of a dude playing a guitar…read moresitting with his back toward you, and the crack of his butt showing might be a bit off putting and pretty hilarious! Although you may miss this place as you drive by because it literally is a hole in the wall of a little strip mall of sorts you have to look for it. But as that description goes, typically the food found in a "hole in the wall" it is usually very delicious and they did not disappoint! The lady who took our orders was very friendly. I let her know that I was gluten-free which they were able to accommodate. We have the taco bowl or burrito bowl or a "bowl" as it's listed. You first choose burrito, bowl, or tacos, then choose your meat, which is ground beef, chicken, Carne Asada, fish, which happened to be shark today. Then you choose if you want sour cream and cheese, etc., guacamole, then choose Mexican, brown, or regular rice and then what type of beans, black or pinto. Then you choose your sauce, jalapeño mild up to very hot and then pico de gallo. Then you can choose your jarritos drink or the one canned guava drink. You get a size nice portion in a paper bowl covered with foil and it is delicious & seasoned to perfection. So they did not disappoint! Parking is tight to be mindful of those backing out. Will return before leaving Kauai.

I ordered the chicken burrito and my fiancé ordered the burrito bowl with fish. The bowl was served in one of those tiny Dixie paper bowls..for $17! He ate it all and was still hungry. My burrito had way more food than his bowl. Unfortunately their Mexican rice is really not it...the grains of rice are huge and flavorless. The only thing that saved my burrito was the shredded chicken. It was moist and flavorful, and they didn't skimp on the amount they put in the burrito which I truly appreciate since taking any bite without the meat was super bland. No seating available, this is all to go style. Parking is easy since there's a parking lot right in front. It's easy to locate and is situated next to a small grocery store. I recommend you go grab some banana bread from the grocery store for dessert, you won't regret it. All in all, I think there is better Mexican food on Kaua'i for the same price or less.
