    Non-traditional tacos. Not Mexican. The first time I came here a couple of years ago I enjoyed my tacos. This recent visit last month I was so disappointed. The quality has gone down and the tacos were flavorless. We didn't even finish our meal and half of it ended up in the trash. And we were so hungry! I'm not sure what happened, but I will not be back anytime soon.

    Kids quesadilla- crunchy cheese crust FTW

    Best pork taco I've ever had in my life! Come here, try one, and be a very happy camper. Their black beans pack some really good flavor as well. They have a free tabletop Ms. Pac-Man machine which takes the ambiance to a 10/10!

    Sweet potato burrito

    The burritos were fine, but they cost much more than they're worth. The ingredients were fresh, but the burrito was dry and served room temp. The tacos didn't have a lot on them, and the server forgot several of our requests.

    Really good quick grab place for pizza bread sandwiches with amazing service and nice quaint ambiance, they have a wooden shack to sit and eat .. be sure to check it to out! They bake their own bread and have tons of good food. Very friendly staff and quick service We got tacos and kids chomped it so fast, I could not take any pics, it was ... I barely got a bite Just simple food!

    Waiting out the rain with some yummy tacos!

    This place is cute and in a trendy little restaurant and food area. The tacos were unique and zesty! There were plenty of drink options. The area is also cute for walking into stores. The outdoor area was adorable with little chickens (did not bother at all). Nice place to wait out the rain with some delicious warm food.

    Let me start off by saying I am from socal and we KNOW TACOS AND MEXICAN FOOD. Randomly driving in the area and noticed this hidden gem off the side of the road and had to pull over and check what it was about. Yes the same place has a pizzaria (I will be trying when I come back) and this taco spot in the same location.. let's just say holy $h*t the mole tacos were on freaking point! Not too bitter like some moles , not too sweet like others but this was just like grandma made it back home. The tortillas are handmade with imported masa from Mexico I was told my the owner who is an San Fransisco native , it was a perfect taco meat / sauce / flavor combo will kick your butt in the good way and makes you think you are sitting at a taco trunk at 2am in socal eating tacos! Hand down one of the best Mexican food I have had so far on the island and I will be driving about 1.5hrs back to just get some more food! Much love and respect to the staff here

    I had the butter chicken burrito and it was so delicious. Perfectly tender chicken and the curry flavor was perfect. The cheese and rice amount and the burrito size is perfect. Filled me up. My friend ordered a small salad and said the dressing was good. There is plenty of seating in the back and parking in the free parking lot in front.

    Chile verde is amazing!!

    Best damn tacos ever and I live in San Francisco known for its mission Mexican food. This tops that. No words for the tacos. Just try it and see. Amazing combination of flavors and the salsas have such full flavor with a back end heat that is perfect. They also make KID QUESADILLAS! With cheese melted on the outside, too!

    One of the best veggie tacos I've ever - EVER - had!

    Delicious. Brilliant blackened cauliflower taco that was basically the best veggie taco I've ever eaten. I live in Hilo but will invest the drive and gas to get those amazing tacos. Thank you/ Mahalo/ Muchisimas Gracias!!

    Sourdough fucking pizza yes please

    The pizza here is on point. It's delicious. The staff is friendly and awesome. Highly recommend this place.

    Each taco flavor was so delicious! I especially loved the Chicken Tinga. The service was also very good and order was processed quickly.

    We had the pleasure of being served by Ben. Very sweet and attentive greeting when we walked in…read more We felted so welcomed The fish and chips was delicious - as well as the gumbo- i didn't order either or, but i had to try what my company was ordering. I enjoyed the pull pork sandwich w onion rings. Everything on the plate was fresh and delicious. Their Lava Flow and Blue Hawaii were also super tasty and refreshing. Thank you for the wonderful experience

    my Son raved about this restaurant because he had eaten there on previous trips to the Big island…read more. I was so looking forward to dining on delicious BBQ . we had to order our meals as take out online because of young children , so we looked to order at 4:30 pm . so i went online and believe it or not I was incredulous that they were sold out of Every single BBQed Dish pork, chicken, ribs etc I was so disappointed and in disbelief That I called the restaurant and sure enough it was true! shocking for a BBQ RESTAURANT to run out of BBQ! because our hearts were set on having their food , so burgers were ordered by the family and i ordered the ONO grilled with a side of cole slaw and grilled pineapple, and O NO the fish was so tough it was difficult to cut with a knife... it was tastless and chewy ... threw away half of it ! It was not the fresh Ono I expected and love! hopefully this does not happen often !!! I understand that Restaurants have an off night sometimes ... but this was SO SAD !!! in addition there was something (maybe a spice or something on the grill ) on either the fish and/or the pineapple , that I had an allergic reaction to ! my tongue swelled and was extremely uncomfortable!!! I have never had that happen before... it is sad that the cornbread and the coleslaw were the best part if the meal! The burgers were enjoyed so that boosted my score !

    My husband surprised me with a dinner at Merriman's around the holidays for my birthday…read morecelebration. Needless to say, around the holidays reservations are highly recommended, if not already required. The restaurant was packed, but it didn't feel too overwhelming. There were a lot of large groups and families, and we were one of the few tables with just a couple of people. It was a great experience from entry to exit. The service was excellent- attentive and friendly - and the food was delicious, with what felt like a fresh mix of local favorites and items with a more modern approach. The birthday treat was also a nice touch! We really enjoyed our experience here and would definitely consider returning (or visiting another Merriman's location) in the future.

    I want to preface my 3-star rating by saying we did enjoy most of what we ordered, and the service…read morewas honestly amazing. However, as a vegetarian, I felt like we really just had one option for our entrée. We ended up getting full off starters and sides. The only main we could really do was the mushroom pot pie. It was good and comforting, just not anything super memorable. Lastly, I don't mind spending on a nice meal, but a few things felt a little pricey for what they were. For example, the tomato and blue cheese salad with capers was $25, which felt a little steep for essentially five slices of tomato. That being said, everything tasted very fresh and the quality of ingredients was definitely there. Overall, still a good experience, especially because of the service.
