    You can choose your spice level, but I opted for chili on the side.

    Sweet lady taking orders. I ordered a chicken pad see ew and the iced coffee. I can pass on the $4 coffee, but the pad see ew was delicious and quickly devoured. All the food is made to order and a perfect balance of flavors and ingredients. On my list to visit again.

    This truck was recommended to us by a vender at hill market and was worth seeking out. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The wait was about 20 mins but we'll worth it after we tasted the food. Get there early before they head out to the next stop!

    I have only ordered the pineapple fried rice here and it is the best pineapple fried rice I have ever had in my life. I asked them to make it a little spicy so there was a kick and it was perfect. I wish there was a Thai Smiles near me so I could get this whenever I wanted!

    This Thai restaurant is the BEST I have had in all my travels, ie. Utah, California, Puerto Rico and Australia. We are always cautious as to what we eat due to bad experiences. This food was fresh. It was Delicious and very friendly service. It is located in the market place with lots of shopping fun

    First off, I am from Sinaloa, born and raised, and now live in California. I know what real Mexican…read morefood should taste like. Hands down, the quesabirria tacos and flautas are as good as they come--absolutely amazing. We happened upon this place on Yelp, and I was a little skeptical, but after the first bite, I felt transported back to Mexico. My entire family agreed that these are the best quesabirria tacos we have had outside of Mexico, and possibly even in Mexico. The flavors were amazing, and the consommé was absolutely delicious. We are regulars on the Big Island and normally do not eat Mexican food because we have never found a good spot, with the exception of Shaka Tacos. This place was really busy, and there was only one person working. She was doing it all--taking orders, collecting money, and making all the delicious food. She was never rude and was so pleasant. She said the cooks had called in and she was the only one there. Talk about dedication! She made sure everyone got their food, and it was made perfectly. I cannot commend her enough for all the work she did and for putting out an outstanding order of food. She is a real gem and should be treated as such! It is so hard to find good employees today, and her dedication and attitude inspired me. I wish we had gotten her name, but she said she is always there. If the food takes longer than you like, just be patient, because you are in for a treat when it comes out. Good food takes time, and the food is definitely worth the wait. We will definitely be coming back every time we are here. This place is a real gem. If I could give it more stars, I would. I hope everyone reading this takes my advice and goes to this wonderful place for the delicious food and the warm people.

    Really good spot leaving from the falls, we stopped in for lunch and had no wait - it was right…read morewhen they opened. Just two people working and they were both friendly. Food was made fresh and took about 10 minutes! It was a lot of food too. I would've liked more cilantro and lime for the tacos, and maybe a bit more salt in the beans and rice, but overall it was great. The drink was our favorite! Plenty of seating, quiet, and quaint.

I had the cajun grilled mahimahi fish tacos and my hubs had sweet and sour tempura ahi belly. They were both ono-licious!! I can't wait to try out the Express in Hilo since we live this side....

    I've always heard great things about this place and have sampled the poke nachos a couple of times…read moreoff my friends' plates. Each time I sampled, I always told myself to go get it but never seemed to catch them the correct time and date until recently! It's located in the parking lot of Safeway and Target, closer to the Safeway gas station. Parking will never be an issue here. My roommate and I both wanted the spicy poke nachos, but we ended up deciding to also try their fish & chips too after seeing someone's order. The orders were HUGE; def worth the price paid. The fish & chips came with a bed of fries and 4 huge fish sticks with furikake and sauce drizzled on top. The fish was nicely cooked and fried, but kind of bland. The mayo sauce was really good! I wished there were more of it for my fish. Fries were delicious! The poke nacho was just as amazing as the ones I sampled off of. The nachos were really crispy and the poke was fresh. Wished there was a bit more poke tho. The ocean salad complimented the dish really well too. I highly recommend the poke nachos from here! They offer spicy, avocado, or both. Fresh poke and crispy nachos. P.S. The original restaurant is located in Kailua-Kona which is quite a drive away. Very nice to have an express food truck in Hilo!
