    Two tacos
    Irene L.

    We passed by this little truck a few times until one day we decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised to know that their menu is fully vegan. I got three tacos with mild sauce. I really liked the tortilla and the "meat" inside. I do feel that three tacos did not fill me up. I was happy to give it a try and they tasted delicious. However, I would love to see more "meat" in the tacos :) The guy that helped us out was very friendly. They open from around 10pm to 4am, which is great for anyone who might be tipsy and hungry late at night.

    Got the burrito. Couldn't have been more happy. Don't judge a book by its cover. This is a small taco truck but he's organized and served quite a few people while I was there.

    I cleaned my plate. Ono taco muchkins at 3am. Mahalo nui loa

    A star for being VEGAN A star for being OPEN LATE A star for being on UBER The spicy sauce is inFact spicy. That taco was gone in two bites. I ate ate ate ate it up!!! I got a taco and beans and after delivery fees and tip it was 40$. That's steep I did get guc, sour cream & spicy sauce and those should be available as cheap (smaller) addons. They aren't. This is WASTEFUL. I have a bunch left over and nothing to do with it. The beans are advertised as "honestly the best" you've had, and they honestly aren't. They're a bit dry. Taco and beans were cold. The sour cream has a weird aftertaste. Guc is not so yummy either. I only tasted a touch as it had cilantro and I struggle to digest cilantro. They didn't have any chips for sale. This would cost you about 2$ to make at home. But that's not including the containers, napkins and utensils. TO THE OWNERS: adjust entrees to have .25¢ addons. Add the word "vegan" to the title of some items, because you don't come up as a VEGAN option on Uber, I just stumbled on you. Absolutely glad I did, too. Offer fresh avocado, bc not everyone can digest cilantro Yes. I'd come back. The taco was good. That spicy sauce was banggin. I mean, I cleaned my plate.... didn't I?

    happened upon this little spot on a drunken night in Waikiki across the st from Kelley O'Briens bar at like 3 am. Met one of the owners, Tanya is his wife and they are from East coast (cuz had a Baltimore accent from the heavens)! Lots of heart, and lots of patience for the drunk and hungry crowds. Food was incredible, it's literally the best thing to find on a night like that night. Something to sober up with and still be taking care of your body and tastebuds. I almost got the nachos and I'm kicking myself for not after have the house tacos. I don't remember which salsa is which. I asked them to make it spicy and they obliged! Packed with flavor, heat, and authenticity please give them a try! I'd hate to not find them the next time I make it to town.

    Located down the alley directly across from Kelley Oneil's pub! We had a hard time finding it at first just type in Kelley Oneil's or the Pupu House if you need help finding it. We ordered the nachos and the Crunchwrap and we ordered them spicy . When they say spicy they are not joking it was fire but delicious. We had no idea this was vegan even after finishing our food until reading about it online ! Tasted amazing and surprised us. It was pretty busy and there were about 5 people waiting but the food is worth the wait. Also open til 4am ! Check it out

    Burrito and Chrunchywrap

    Such an amazing experience. First let's talk about the customer service. Top notch. Forest and Tanja are great people. Next, the flavors are phenomenal. Both rices are cooked to perfection without being soggy, which is difficult to do. P.s. they are plant based! Absolutely amazing. The flavor of the spicy sauce is so good. If you are spice sensitive go for the milder version. 5 stars, go here. If you are Vegan or Plant based there is no Mexican style food on this island that compares and this competes with any of the expensive plant based food on the island.

    I was really let down by the food here. $20 for a Crunchwrap and $16 for a scoop of rice and beans?!? The taste was just ok.

I believe that Mexican food is only as good as the tortilla, so I asked him where he got it and he said "Thyda's - bro you have to go!" Well, today I finally went and let me tell you - that random beach man was absolutely right! I got the carnitas burrito and it was simply perfect. At $12, I'd say it was reasonably priced too. Service was fast and Thyda and Magid - the husband and wife owners - were so friendly and chill. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do and love whipping up great food with a great attitude. They talked to us while we ate and shared a little of their 10 year taco stand journey. I wasn't surprised to learn they spent years in LA. The food definitely holds up to LA standards. Head's up - there's no tables and not much seating or parking. We ate on a small step near where you order. Also note that they have Taco Tuesday deals. Can't believe I've been missing out on this place for so long and I can't wait to go back! Check it out

Flavor was solid, portion was generous, and the food itself is the main reason I keep coming back. The ambiance is chill and local. 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.
