    Tofu tacos
    El H.

    I got the tofu tacos, and they were simultaneously some of the best tacos and some of the best Thai food I've ever had! Once I added my personal habanero flakes, they were perfect.

    A permanent food truck located in the Waikiki area. A fusion mix of thai and mexican...all I know is they had vegan tacos.... I got an order of Spring Rolls and the Tofu Tacos.... Overall nothing special about either one.... The Tofu tacos were basically standard tofu wedges put inside tortillas with some peanut sauce....nothing special about it but i guess it just gives an option for those who don't eat meat....but wouldn't get that again was pretty plain overall....

    Three taco mix plate

    I came here with my husband on a Saturday afternoon. Thankfully there was not a lot of people, I think we must have missed the lunch rush. We saw this fusion food truck and thought this was a really interesting concept. We opted for the three taco mix plate and got a thai tea horchata. The three taco plate came with chicken satay, crispy pork, and thai grilled beef. Unfortunately we couldn't eat most of this meal. Everything was overly salty and was honestly just not very well executed. The beef had an underlying seafood taste to it, and the chicken was a bit overcooked. The crispy pork was fine, but I really didn't think anything was too special about it. I think these dishes could be better balanced with a better sprinkle of lightness. While the tacos do have a little raw cabbage on the bottom, I think that's a sorry excuse for trying to elevate it to be fusion, then to top it all off with a spicy aioli really made the dish way too salty. The thai tea horchata.. wow 100000/10. I would come back just for this. Honestly one of the most unique and delicious things I've ever had. I loved the overall spice that you got from the traditional thai tea flavors, and combined with the cinnamon and underlying nuttiness that is familiar to traditional horchata. I don't think this place is terrible, but definitely has potential to be better. I think with some improvements on their execution of their tacos and meat reheating preparation this place can do really really well.

    Thai Taco is one of those unexpected gems you stumble upon in Waikiki and immediately want to tell everyone about. Tucked into a cozy outdoor food court on Kūhiō Avenue, it has a cute and casual vibe with picnic-style seating and some shaded benches that make it comfortable to sit back and enjoy your meal. The service here is warm and welcoming -- the team behind the counter was so friendly and helpful in walking me through the menu. It really adds to the experience when you feel genuinely taken care of. As for the food, it's simple in concept but bold in execution: true Thai-style flavors, wrapped in a tortilla. I tried the Taco Mix, which came with three different tacos -- grilled beef, tender chicken satay, and a crispy pork belly taco with a crunch that you could hear across the courtyard. Each bite had that unmistakable Thai balance of savory, tangy, and a touch of spice, but presented in a fun, handheld form. 2463 Kūhiō Ave, Waikiki If you're looking for something unique in Waikiki that's both casual and delicious, Thai Taco is the perfect spot to grab flavorful food, enjoy the friendly service, and relax in a cozy outdoor setting.

    Got the Thai beef and pork belly plate! I enjoyed the pork belly. The Thai beef was too salty for me. I ate it with rice and salad and it was still too salty. I'll have to try the tacos next time. Service was amazing! It's located in an area of other food trucks too. There are tables out front to enjoy your dish.

    I got the mixed taco platter and it was pretty good. One of the chicken tacos had an odd flavor to it, but the other two were quite enjoyable. I am pretty disappointed that I spent $10 on a side of fries that were extremely bland. literally no flavor, no seasoning, no nothing. Pass on those.

    I absolutely loved this truck. The portion sizes are really decent, and it tasted great. Also the outdoor seating area is nice if you can catch it when it's not so busy.

    Beef Thai Tacos

    Had their beef Thai tacos + Thai iced tea and it was so good. I inhaled it. The service was fast and the workers were so kind as well! Definitely go check them out.

    I've found my new food obsession in Waikīkī. I was starving and didn't want to walk too far from my hotel, I found this food truck only a 5 minute walk away. It's very tiny, but the flavors they produce are big and bold. I opted for a trio of tacos; shrimp, chicken satay and beef. The peanut sauce on the satay taco was delicious, the beef was tender and juicy, and the shrimp was plump and flavorful. I am obsessed with this little truck and plan to make it my first stop every time I find myself on Oahu.

    Small but tasty food!
    Kent V.

    Ordered the thai tacos (3) from here and they were delicious! Packed a lot of flavor and the chicken tasted of good quality! Highly recommend these to share for a lunch! Update: Came back another time on my trip and had the chicken satay with rice. Food was delicious and pretty big portion.

    Chicken satay tacos. So. Good.
    Kimber R.

    Staying at a hotel near by for the weekend for a retreat. Wanted something quick without having to make a reservation or wait a while. This little spot of food trucks hit every mark we wanted. While some got ice cream, some got Thai tacos! An amazing Thai iced tea and chicken satay tacos were everything I wanted. No line for the truck and took just over 5 minutes for my named to be called for my ready food. A few big picnic tables to sit at, umbrellas and some twinkle lights. The vibe was right for a Friday night.

    Chipotle shrimp?
    Jose L.

    Grabbed a quick bite to share with the wife. We ordered the garlic chipotle shrimp (I don't recall exactly). It was delicious. The chipotle sauce was amazing. Probably the best tasting chipotle sauce I've had. It wasn't overly smoky or had spice/kick but the flavor was there. Not only that, coming from someone with acid reflux, it did not irritate my stomach. I honestly recommend this place. The owner (I'm assuming it was the owner) was very kind and helpful. They got the order out right away as well. There is plenty of seating in the shared table area. 10/10 shrimp would eat again.

    Pork belly + beef
    Cearra M.

    First meal while visiting the Waikiki area and one of my favorites during my stay. Everything was fresh and the meats were tender. Amazing sauce on the side too. Thank you! super delish :)

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.
