We have eaten here 3 times in the past 2 days and could live on the crispy pork belly tacos! There is plenty of shared seating for everyone and a nice way to enjoy these best tacos ever created. The combination of fresh, island made tortillas, crispy and tender pork belly, fresh cabbage and topped with a spicy, flavorful sauce-makes for the perfect taco ever created! On my 3rd trip there was a possible credit card machine malfunction which bypassed my option to add a tip. However, upon review of my receipt I noticed a tip was automatically added. There is a tip container if you, like me, prefer to leave a cash tip. The owner immediately reached out to me and (more than) remedied the situation and provided a full refund. Aside from this malfunction- these are the best tacos ever created! Add a shaved ice from their neighbor and you won't need to go anywhere else to eat! read more

I have no idea why this place is rated so highly. Had one order of chicken satay tacos and one order of the thai beef plate. The meat in both dishes was very dry and almost crumbled in your mouth. It was clear it was fully cooked ahead of time and then reheated. That is understandable in a food truck, but I think the meat here was effectively cooked fully 2x. On top of that, the seasoning of the meat seemed a bit off; the chicken seasoning was ok but nothing special. Overall, very disappointing. read more

I have no idea how this place has the score it has. The food was sub par at best and over priced. The chips and guacamole alone were a joke (see pick) the chips were in the container and come from a bag. The entres weee such a joke. A giant portion or rice and small amount of protein sprinkled with a seasoning sauce. We order the steak plate and the tofu plate as well as chips and salsa. I should have taken pictures of our meal but felt bad for my husband who picked out this place (based on reviews) and was genuinely upset at himself for trusting these reviews.

The food was incredible, and the staff was always warm and welcoming. Even when prices were on the higher side, it was worth every penny. The last time I visited it was 8/12/26: Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably dropped over time. I recently brought a coworker here, promising her a great meal, and it was honestly embarrassing. I spent $75 on two Birria taco sets and two drinks. I understand inflation and price increases, but the experience was nowhere near the cost: Service: The employee behind the counter didn't greet us and stayed on his phone while two of us waited to order. He moved incredibly slow, forgot our drinks, and then brought out the wrong ones. Another table mentioned waiting 45 minutes for their food in an otherwise empty restaurant. He also kept going in and out of the bathroom. While we ate our take out order there, he probably went to the bathroom 5 times in 45 minutes. And the worst part was he was the only one working the counter. Food Quality: The $25 Birria plate came with three very small tacos--smaller than the palm of my hand. The tortillas were soggy as if undercooked, the meat lacked seasoning, and the consommé had no flavor. The drinks were so overly sweet they were hard to finish. It's sad to see how much things have changed. Between the lack of customer service, high prices, and poor food quality, I won't be returning.

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.

5/5 I'm so glad I stopped by Thai Tacos @ Waikiki -- this food truck totally exceeded expectations! From the moment I ordered, the crew was friendly and efficient, and my food came out piping hot and beautifully plated (for a food truck, that matters!). I had the crispy pork belly taco trio, and each taco was a flavor bomb: the pork belly was perfectly crisped on the edges, juicy inside, and paired beautifully with the fresh cabbage, cilantro, and that creamy chipotle mayo. The balance of savory, tangy, and just a touch of heat was spot on. The tortillas were fresh and held up well without getting soggy. The taco trio (mixing the pork belly with a couple of their other taco options) was a smart move -- I got to sample more of their fusion menu, and every taco was equally flavorful. And the Thai tea horchata? Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be such a clever mash-up. The creamy sweetness and hint of tea made it a perfect complement to the spice and richness of the tacos. It was refreshing, satisfying, and just plain fun. The only thing to watch out for is the line -- this place is popular, and for good reason. Expect a short wait during peak hours. But I'll say this: it's absolutely worth it. If you're in Waikiki and craving something unique and tasty, you won't regret stopping here. read more

During my recent 18-day trip to Honolulu, I ate at Thai Tacos 16 times. The Tajin Shrimp on rice is genuinely outstanding -- easily one of the best meals I've had on the island. I come to Oahu for work a couple of times a year, and while this was my first time eating here, it definitely won't be my last. I'll be back every time I return. What really stood out, though, was the service. The entire team is friendly and welcoming, but Rory made the experience even better. He was attentive, genuinely cheerful, and made me feel like a regular from day one. I started looking forward to seeing him almost as much as I looked forward to the food. Highly recommend Thai Tacos. Great food and even better people. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting this Thai taco spot multiple times during my trip to Oahu, and it never disappointed! The crispy pork belly taco is absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The iced Thai tea is also a must-try, refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. My only regret is not being able to visit one last time before my departure since they weren't open before I had to catch my plane. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area! read more

Thai Tacos was hands down our favorite meal in Waikīkī! Everything we ordered was incredible, the shrimp, chicken, and pork belly tacos were all packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The combination of Thai flavors with tacos is unique and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and every bite exceeded expectations. If you're visiting Waikīkī, this place is a must-try. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Hawaii! read more

I got the pork belly on rice and lord is it amazing. The pork belly is so flavorful and crunchy (on the outside) plus with the cilantro, side sauce, and the sauce drizzled over it, this is my favorite place to come and eat. If anything, the service is so sweet and kind, I love it. read more

We had the "highly rated" North Shore shrimp three years ago and the way they serve it to you isn't very appetizing. However, this shack, chef's kiss. The presentation and the flavor was all there.

This was more chipotle ish with maybe some sort of minced onion than the spicy garlic shrimp I had the past two times. I didn't eat here when it was Angry shrimp because they mixed onion and mushrooms with shrimp or something and I was looking for Garlic shrimp. I have the picture from last weeks garlic shrimp. Last week it tasted like it had fish sauce in it with spices and garlic, etc...tonight it literally tastes like bbq seasoning mixed with chipotle seasoning and chili onion. I'm not writing this review to bash this shrimp truck because I think they are very nice but more so as constructive criticism...to hopefully keep their recipe consistent. People want the flavor of Garlic shrimp without having to go to the north shore. These other seasonings just didn't cut it for me:(

They make the shrimp to order so it's fresh and hot when you get it. The shrimps were a good generous size and fresh and the garlic sauce with the rice was so good! The shrimp plate comes with a green salad. I would say this shrimp shack was one of the best i've tried on island because the shrimps are huge and the garlic butter was so ono!

The meat was super soft, almost like there was a lot of baking soda used. Instead of that nice tender bite you expect from kalbi, it was more mushy and overly soft, which kind of threw me off. On top of that, the service wasn't great. When we walked up to the pick up window, the guy preparing the food didn't acknowledge us at all. We figured he might be busy, so we didn't think much of it at first. But even after that, he was still facing us while scooping rice and restocking the rice cooker and still didn't say anything. When he finally did acknowledge us, it was just a quick "name?" and then he kind of just tossed the bag onto the table. It honestly didn't feel very welcoming or like the kind of Hawaiian hospitality you'd expect. Overall, the food was okay at best, and the experience definitely didn't make me want to come back.
