This is one of the food trucks located at the beginning of Kalakaua in Waikiki. If you're driving into Waikiki you can't miss it. It's a whole bunch of food trucks parked together. Out of all the food trucks there, this one seemed to be the most busy. We ordered the Mexi-Bowl with steak $13.99 and a Soft Taco with chicken $3.99. They were both tasty and the food is authentic. This was actually the hubby's dinner and I just sampled. I don't really like soft tacos. I like my tacos crispy which isn't authentic, lol. They had different condiments on the table. My hubby put the green chili sauce on the food and it made it extra spicy. If you're into spicy foods, don't forget the green hot sauce. read more

First time here and so glad we gave it a try! First, the young man making our food was so pleasant....and he can cook! Secondly, the food was good. I had the potato torta and I really liked it. Filled with potatoes, onions, cilantro and cheese. I added the hot salsa...yum! But I really liked the flavor of the green salsa. My friend had the steak torta and said it was delish. To support this local business, we decided to try their potato tacos....also delicious! And finally, There are two of these Taco Don Chema food trucks fairly close to each other.....same menu. We definitely enjoyed our impromptu meal tonight! 100% recommend!! We will be back next time we are in town :-) read more

Tacos were honestly quite tasty, though they could've been tastier with a few more toppings like cilantro, onion, etc. The worker taking my order was rude, on a personal phone call, and overall seeming like he did not want to be there. read more

We love this food truck. It is a staple for when we come for a great quick bit after a day of exploring. The meat is always perfectly cooked and seasoned. Hot sauces/salsa for every spice level. I love the grill on the burritos. Service is super on point, they treat all with kindness and respect. Some shared outdoor tables to sit right there and enjoy your food. Come check this truck out!!! read more

Best asada taco hands down anywhere. A must have while in Waikiki. Don't miss this gem. read more

Great food. Had the $13.00 dollar burrito bowl. Grilled Chicken, pinto beans, spanish rice, cilantro, white onion and seasoning. Chicken was nice and tender. Beans were also. Veggies were fresh and crispy and the rice had a few dry grains but I can live with that. All the other food trucks also looked very appetizing but I could only fit one meal. So if ever in waikiki area, I recommend these food trucks highly. read more

Was recommended by a close friend. I stopped by and had a burrito and a taco. Asada. I came with low expectations due to comparison with Cali Mexican food. But both were pretty good and I gave it a 4 comparing to Cali but out here been the best so far read more

I questioned eating in Hawaii but this food is bomb chili on point . Delicious ill come back

Possibly the worst tacos ever. Dry, stringy tasteless steak, pork and chicken. Nice service , terrible food. The pictures say it all. We left most of the food on the plate and dumped it. Hope they make improvements soon before it's too late! read more

Parked in a food truck area this truck has delicious tacos and quesadillas. Unfortunately at the time we were there the only drinks were soft drinks. They have three types of sauces and a few topping options such a jalapeños with napkins and forks in front that you can grab once you get your meal. The seating area is shared with all the trucks and there is no parking, walking there only. Overall good experience. read more

Amazing service food was delicious! Service was great timing! Highly recommend this place. Great customer service.

I came across this place and finally decided to try it, sadly the expectations of what looked like a good place for Mexican food became a huge disappointment, the burrito was small, stuffed with rice and beans, hardly any meat in it. It looks like they use a conventional tortilla for what I prefer to call an overstuffed taco, the price is very high for the amount of food you get, and the only consolation was the creamy habanero salsa, which made more palatable my meal, at a whopping $15.99. Service was slow it took their people about 5 min to notice I wanted to order food. The atmosphere is a relaxed open place with multiple trucks to choose from. I will not be coming back to this place anytime soon. Hopefully, you will have a better experience than me if you venture to give this food truck a try. read more

Tacos Don Chema - Size of fig Newton compared to burrito I got - Food Trucks Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Avoid. Ordered a steak (asada) taco. Small size for $5, tortilla was like warm, and steak dry. Took 10 minutes, and they gave my food out to someone else. Guy then asks me if I need something else-- which I don't even understand since he didn't even call my name, so I tell him I'm still waiting on my taco. Guy then was about to go get my taco from the previous customer, so I quickly tell him that I'm not going to eat food he already gave out. After that took him 30s to remake me a taco. Disappointing in so many ways. Hard pass. read more

When the owner touted this as the best Mexican food on the island, I was fully expecting to be let down. Coming from Austin, which has a Mexican food truck in every corner, I thought his truck wouldn't be able to compare. But every bite of this was absolutely delicious. I originally wanted the carne asada quesadilla, but since they were all out of carne asada, I settled for the adobada (marinated pork) quesadilla. I'm so happy I got to try their adobada, because it was fantastic. I added some of their green salsa and avocado salsa, and again both are so good. So much flavor in each bite. I wish I could go back and order this again. read more

I ate here and got food poisoning. It completely ruined my vacation. Would avoid at all cost. read more

I'm from LA with great Mexican food and especially taco and taco trucks. I didn't have high expectations when I decided to try their tacos. It was definitely better than expected and I'd go back again. I had tried their shredded pork tacos. Quantity, taste everything was just right. Their salsa collection was fresh and delicious. The downside of this location is there's no parking and it's almost impossible to find one. Everytime we wanted to visit this truck location, we had to walk 20 ish min just to get here. There are other food trucks in the same lot so it's also worth the walk. read more

I always look at the name of the Mexican establishment before I give it a try. From experience if the name is simple like "super taco" or something like that the food is usually bland. I was craving a burger, but I decided to give the Torta a try. Torta was good. The flavor was right. Go early. It looks like they get busy and I only saw one guy in the back cooking. read more

Got my taco fix. Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. This new food truck lot is an amazing addition to the neighborhood. There's a parking lot for the people that cannot just walk across the street to grab some, like me. Recommended! read more

Tacos Don Chema - $4 for chicken, $5 for steak - Food Trucks Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Come to the island once a year and we always keep an eye out for a good taco spot. We were lucky this trip and found this hidden gem. Authentic Mexican tacos. The prices are high but it fits the location so no biggie. The service was friendly and super accommodating. We visited on a rainy night so can't comment much on the atmosphere but it was in the middle of food truck corner with picnic tables & variety of other vendors. We just stood under the umbrella waiting for our food. Made small talk with the owner since he quickly spotted we might be from out of town. Turns out we're from neighbor towns in California. Which explains the authenticity. Will definitely be back. read more

Has the be the worse food I've ever had. Nachos were hard as a rock. Torta bread was stale and the meat was worse. Let me not forget about the salsas all smelling sour. I really don't know how this place is still open. Really poor representation of Mexican food. This place is a health hazard read more

Tacos were ok. I did 2 carne asada tacos. The corn tortillas were stale, I don't think they warmed them on the grill. Service was good

good service, but bad food I had beef, chicken, and pork taco, and all of them were dry and super salty. read more

Avoid this taco truck. I never leave reviews because I never have bad enough experiences, but this is the most horrible experience with a business I've ever had. The customer service was horrible, they told my boyfriend they were completely out of burritos so he ordered the torta instead. Another customer came by asked for a burrito they said they were closed and we were the last order, 5 minutes later as we're waiting for our food he took a woman's order for 2 burritos with no problem, and another woman after that. My boyfriend had ordered the exact same thing and they said they were "out". As for the food, the torta is basic and doesn't have much flavor. It's very greasy due to the cheese crust and meat. I also ordered the shrimp taco and that was worse than the torta. The shrimp had 0 flavor and was drenched in sauce. The sauce was the only thing giving it flavor, it didn't seem like the shrimp was seasoned or grilled at all. Left a horrible fishy taste in my mouth and the sauce left the tortilla soggy. I also ordered the horchata and let me tell you, it's definitely not horchata. It didn't taste like it had any cinnamon, so it really tasted like sugar and milk. There are many other food trucks in that parking lot that you could get good food at! read more
