So Kauai apparently has excellent Mexican restaurants, and Verde has got to be in the top 5. Located in one of the more modern commercial developments on Kauai, it feels like a place you?d find in a mainland shopping center, but the food is anything butrun of the mill. The Mahimahi Furikake Tacos were the best fish tacos I?ve had, from the furikake tortillas to thecilantro-furikake mahimahi with their signature aioli and unagi sauce. I wanted to try the ube horchata, but they said they ranout because it had been so hot that day. Will have to go back to try!

Fast food casual Mexican fare right of the main drag in Lihue. It was busy (always a good sign) but the 3 wait staff rocked it, working like a real team. The alcoholic drinks were really good. Loved the Mahi Mahi tacos. All fish dishes are market price. I think it was around $18. Don't be tempted to order the tres leche.... you'll be disappointed by the gummy texture, blandtaste, small size and overpriced.

Very good dinner before I catch my flight ?? closer to airport and amazing service. Helped out with understanding vegan options and ambience was great. Loved it

We?re from Colorado and tacos are a staple in our diet, so we decided to stop by here and have a taste! OH MY GOD! They have some amazing food! The best tacos I?ve had in a long time. Get the Ube tortillas, you won?t regret it! We will definitely grabdinner here once before we leave and everytime we come Back!

Limited menu items (post covid) but you still have a good selection to choose from. We had the Beef Nachos, Grilled Shrimp Quesadilla, and Garlic Shrimp Taco. All of these were more than enough for two ppl. Service was quick and good. Atmospherewas nice.
