Paco's Tacos - Kilauea

The best meal we've had so far on the island (and we had a $500 meal last night, no booze on the tab). The California fry burrito (be sure to get a side of fry sauce) is the best melt in your mouth food a person can get and their fish and carnitas tacos are fresh and flavorful. Their guacamole is fresh and chunky and the chips are homemade to order. You will have to sit outside but it's covered.

We ordered a chicken burrito, a shrimp burrito, rice, beans, chips and guacamole. All were very good. Next time would go before or after lunch prime time or call in as we waited about 45 minutes for food.

After I lived on this island for 6 years, I wanted to experience the restaurant so well, but my man and I were both extremely disappointed. eating was just not good. the choices are pretty slim. they did not even offer chips and salsa. we never recommend to our guests who come to visit.

Came for dinner right when it opened at 5pm. The tables filled up quickly and we got lucky to snag one. To start, we ordered 3 flavors of tacos carne asada, Baja fried fish, and al pastor (2 tacos per order) so we could try a variety. Disappointed by the carne asada which were just ok. The al pastor was tasty but a little too spicy and didn't have pineapple. Enjoyed the fish taco. I also ordered a lilikoi margarita, which was large and pretty strong. Flavor was ok, but I couldn't finish it. We were still a little hungry and decided to get one more round of a different flavor taco carnitas which was our favorite flavor! In our experience, beef on the islands isn't as great as back home, but they excel in fish and pork. Overall, the tacos had just enough toppings to not overpower the proteins and they came with 2 kinds of sauce chipotle mayo and tomatillo. I especially liked the chipotle mayo. Service wasn't bad.

We had 14 people. I called and asked if they could make a big party for dinner. they said they'd put us down and get a table ready when we arrived - with the best chips and fresh salsa! that was a great meal. the margaritas, guacamole, some of the best enchiladas and service! I would recommend it if in kauai! they will not be disappointed. oh and – it was all reasonable price!
