Taco Lita

Oy I really wanted to like this place! One night I was craving Chinese food. I live right down behind this place and so Iooked them up on here and found out thus how serve mexican food! Being a native «San Diegan» I’m pretty spoiled when it comes to taco shops — also the one thing I miss so much. Lol. I thought how bad can Mexican food from a Chinese restaurant be?! The pictures and reviews were good so I rode my bike over to order some takeout.
It was prob around 7 – 8 pm and there was no one in the whole place. The woman behind the counter who I’m assuming is one of the owners was super sweet. I ordered 2 fish tacos, chicken nachos and a chicken torta (not all for me. Lol.) I was sharing with my boyfriend. It took maybe 10 – 15 mins for the food to e ready and while I was waiting the owner lady gave me samples of their Chinese food, and then as my food was ready she would let me sample my own. Lol. She was really cute and excited. She shared with me that on the weekends they might serve Korean food! She showed my lots of pics on her phone of the Korean menu and then pics of what I ordered.
When I got home I was surprised at how big the portions were! For $ 23 something bucks it was a good amount of food. Now here’s where the quality comes into play. Like I mentioned before I’m spoiled when it comes to «good authentic Mexican food.» I wasn’t assuming this to be authentic at all. The fish in the tacos was really tough. The sauce was good. The nachos were good as well but I will add the chicken they use is from their Chinese food. The torta was good and really big! Same thing with the chicken as the nachos. The food wasn’t terrible, but I wouldn’t go back to order Mexican food from them.

Today was one of those busy days which left no time to eat. Alas, it’s dinnertime and having three tacos to your damn self sounds like the best idea ever. I ordered the combo with two fish and one shrimp taco. The combo is $ 12.95 which includes a medium sized drink and chips and salsa.
Chips were warm, crispy, and delicious. The pineapple salsa was good but on the sweeter side. The tacos looked BEAUTIFUL! However, the taste fell short. The fish and shrimp were battered a little too much. There was also an overload of sauce. I found myself just picking out and eating the pico de gallo. Not one of my favorite Mexican food places out there.

Really nice people but steak tacos were bad. No flavor watery steak like it was frozen when cooked

I grew up eating Mexican food in the mainland, and this is by far not worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. It is a blasphemy to call this food «Mexican». The beef is the same meat used on beef with broccoli LOL… You are better off going to taco bell. At least, it is closer to authentic Mexican food than this (even though taco bell is a joke).

They’re located in AJ’s Chinese food next to Times Supermarket. They serve tacos, burritos, nachos, tortas, and chili fries. I tried the shrimp taco and it was HUGE! There were about 6 fried shrimp in 2 corn tortillas, cabbage, salsa fresco, cilantro, and sour cream sauce. It was piled high. The taste may not have been authentic but it was yummy and I would order it again maybe with less sauce. It was only $ 3.50 definitely worth it. I may try the burrito next time with shrimp and steak (surf and turf).

I love Mexican food, and hawaii definitely does not have great Mexican food. But, my bf and I tried here today and it was SO good! My Bf from a Mexican family said it tasted authentic. We both scarfed down the shrimp taco. We will definitely be back :)

I’ve love Mexican food. This isn’t authentic but cheaper and better than most places in Oahu. I had the pork burrito, I was afraid they were going to put pork belly in it since I’ve been to AJ’S Chinese before. It was really good pork rice beans and lettuce, and the por to on is what I was used to, biiiig. My gf had the steak taco, it was not tough and had little fat on it, also very tasy. They didn’t have salsa except the small portion of mango salsa I got with my combo.
It has a good loca to on with a lot of parking in Times market. I would definatley have the Mexican again. If someone your with wants Chinese fast food you just found a good spot.

Mexican food in a shared space with AJ’s Chinese Fast Food restaurant. You know that’s not gonna be authentic. I got over it the moment I walked in the door. I need variety in my life.
Tacos, burritos, tortas, nachos, smothered french fries.
Picture menus are somewhat helpful but difficult to tell exactly what’s in it.
I DREAM OF TORTAS. Just another name for sandwiches.
Chicken Torta ($ 8.99): Generous chunks of seasoned chicken with onions, sour cream sauce, pinto beans, tomatoes, a smidge of cilantro & a minuscule detection of avocado? perhaps. All in a Torta roll, similar to ciabatta.
Lots of raw onions & sour cream sauce coupled with the beans made for messy eats. But the weird combination of ingredients worked somehow. It may not be for everyone’s taste though.
Kind of pricey but what isn’t these days. The nice lady who took my order mentioned that Taco Lita comes from a family-​run business in California and customer favorites so far are the shrimp or fish tacos.
My overall rating is 3.5 stars rating up. Plus bonus points for lots of parking and convenient location.
