    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.

    Three taco mix plate
    Megan P.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Pork belly + beef

    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 :)

    The kind friendliness you receive from this spectacular family owned business is so very special. The quaint food truck park located two blocks from Waikiki beach is filled with competitors, but Thai Tacos is a force to be reckoned with. The Thai-Mexican fusion created here delivers delicious punches of flavor that you too will need in your life. The Tajin Fries are already going to be a regular craving. The pork belly tacos made with local corn tortillas were crispy, tender and juicy. The chicken satay tacos, I must admit, brought me back the very next day for more. What a wonderful meal, delivered with a wonderful spirit. khàawp khun khráp

    After having a late lunch, my partner and I decided to split a meal. We had been eyeing this food truck since our first day when we ate at the Cafe Alani spot (a few feet away) because their menu looked interesting. What stood out the most was their Thai tea with horchata and once we arrived, a woman was drinking it and said we should definitely order it because it's so good. Let me tell you... she wasn't lying!! The tajin shrimp is what we ended up ordering and that was also DELICIOUS. I really wish we had more days in Oahu to have returned a second time because I would've tried something else from their menu. Either way, it's super close to the beach and nearby lots of hotels so it's conveniently located in an area where it's best suited to simply walk there. Idk where the closest parking is, as this was only a 7 minute walk from our Air Bnb in Waikiki Banyan.

    This lil food court park/area was a little dead on Friday night, poppin' on a Saturday and busy on Sunday but not as busy as Saturday. I was eyeing this place since Friday. Decided to give it a shot on Sunday and I gotta say that I was impressed with the tacos! Had the satay chicken and the pork belly. The satay chicken and the pork belly was seasoned well and the sauce made everything so much better. Tortilla was perfectly cooked. Can definitely go back anytime but I would not recommend the Thai spiced beefrice plate. It did not taste like Thai spiced beef at all. Just not sure how to explain as it was just off. The seasoning wasn't right!! The beef was a lol thick and chewy. Seating could be challenging at times as there are a few tables for about 7 food carts. I would give this spot a 3 but the tacos pushed me to give it a 4

The crew inside was welcoming, quick, and the meat was on point. They even came outside to check on us. My son is a picky little dude and started picking onions off his chicken quesadilla. I told him to speak up. The guy smiled, said he had it, and brought out a fresh one with no onions. My son crushed it and even used their mild salsa, which is wild because he thinks everything is spicy. My burrito had great flavor and the asada was legit. I even called home for extra orders so everyone could try it. They loved it too. This spot isn't in our usual area, but I'm glad we found it because it's hard to find solid burritos in Hawaii.
