Paco’s Tacos Kapaa

Had an awesome lunch here today! Our group had the shrimp burrito, a grilled fish taco and the carnitas quesadilla. They were all delicious! The quesadilla was packed with tender carnitas and big enough to share. The grilled fish taco was excellent and the sauce we added was fantastic! The shrimp burrito was stuffed with shrimp and served enchilada style and was huge! The service was good and the place was clean, pretty sure we will be back before we leave the island.

Hole in the wall spot with amazing Mexican food. The guy working was very friendly and attentive. Their horchata was muy bueno! The shrimp burrito is to die for!

The BEST Shrimp Burrito and Ono Tacos I have ever eaten. Best Mexican food on the island.

I didn’t think I’d ever find a better Baja style fish taco than the delicious ones in San Diego. Wrong! Paco’s in Kapaa has the most delicious fish tacos EVER. Had to stop there twice during our week stay in Kauai. So fresh, amazing sauce, perfect tortillas — AND they have BYOB which makes this an easy, inexpensive dinner after a long day at the beach. If you are a fellow fish taco fan then this place is not to be missed.

Great place to eat fantastic views right on the ocean, reasonable prices, try the shrimp burrito it is great !

Fresh Fish Ono Taco with a beach front view. Delicious, fresh, quick, easy. A must stop. BYOB.

Just ate here tonight and loved it. Haven’t been too stoked on the food in Kauii but this place was a pleasant surprise. Living in San Diego I eat a lot of good Mexican food and this place is definitively up to par. The waitress was very nice and attentive even with a busy restaurant and the food came out fast and tasty. The al pastor burrito was was full of flavor and the carne asada fries were really good too. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty filling meal for around 10 bucks or so.
Also it’s BYOB :)

Best tacos ever. Period. Their fish tacos are phenomenal and are perfect anytime! Don’t miss this place.

Very good Authentic Mexican food rarely found outside the mainland.
Excellent Carnitas tacos were excellent. My party also Carne Asada burrito, fish tacos and carne enchilada which were excellent. The ambiance is needed some upgrading. Very spot for locals who like Mexican food.
Parking is very difficult!!!

Great tasting tacos on the beach in Kauai… what more could you ask for?! I always look forward to this experience when i come to Kauai. I had the carnitas and carne asada today. Both were wonderful in my opinion. I love the fresh guacamole and salsa they put on top. Hiki no!

This food truck is permanently parked on a stretch of road next to the beach. There is outdoor space to sit as well. The fish tacos is delicious and there is also specials if you buy 3 fish tacos in one go. Economic dinning with sea view!

Great music, awesome owner and staff. Large portions and wonderful location. This was the best Baja fish tacos I have ever had!

Had the shrimp tacos with a side of beans and rice. SO TASTY. The sauce on the tacos is especially delicious. A little pricey (over $ 15 with tip) but they include a drink and the portion is really big. Like sit-​down-​restaurant big. Also really friendly service :)

Generic Mexican name? Check. Amazing fish tacos? Double check. We weren’t planning on eating here but we wanted snack while shopping for souvenirs. I only got the fish tacos but man they were so good. I’ve had plenty of fish tacos living in LA but this place was definitely one of the best that I’ve had. The fish was fresh, the cabbage was crunchy and the salsa just sealed it. I didn’t really like many of the meals that I had at my time in Kauai but I am coming back to get more tacos next time.

Got the fresh fish tacos. They actually were pretty good. A good sauce on top made all the difference, as they were a little dry. The fish is a good size piece.
I’d try it again.

I’ve been trying as many fish tacos as possible here on Kauai, and I had to stop and try Paco’s Tacos «The Best Fish Tacos». My assessment: Excellent fish tacos! Great fish, cabbage and sauce. Perfect fresh taste…

this review is for the restaurant, not the food truck.
i can’t believe i paid $ 15.50 for a gross chicken chimichanga.
i just moved home to kauai from tucson, arizona (which has great mexican food) and i am a bit disappointed in myself for even giving this place a try!
they have a bit of selection on their menu, but the prices are very steep for the kind of food they are serving.
my dad got a chile relleno burro, but it was quite odd. my daughter got a quesadilla, which was good, but you really can’t go wrong there.
my plate was supposed to come with rice and beans but when the waitress brought it to the table, there wasn’t any. she kind of argued with me about my plate coming with rice/​beans. that made me more peeved.
definitely wouldn’t recommend this place and i am certainly not going to return.

Wasn’t expecting much but turned out to be the best carnitas I’ve had in awhile and I live in the mission.
Pretty good fish tacos as well. We ate in silence and let the rain start to fall as we finished. Retried beans were tasty as well.

went to Paco Tacos while I was on Kauai for work. This is a review for the restaraunt located in Kapaa (not the lunch truck). Got here after work at around 3:45pm. It wasn’t too busy just a few people at the time.
I ordered the 5 tacitos for a little under $ 9 it came with shredded cheese and some quacamoli on the side. The tacitos was crispy and had shredded beef inside. the beef wasn’t soggy or over seasoned along with taco sauce it was perfect.
The décor was a bit too south of the border and sparse but the guy in charge was very friendly and accomodating. He had that great customer service attitude that made me feel very welcomed and relaxed.
The next time I am in Kapaa again Paco’s tacos will definetely be on my list of options of good, clean, safe reasonable places to eat.

Love me some Paco’s Tacos, even in the rain.
We stopped here twice in a week. First time I got the fish taco and it’s pretty tasty. Nice flaky white fish. Second time I decided to try to pork tacos my husband taunted me with the first time. He said they were amazing. And he was right!
The pork tacos were a super tender, not dry, mouthful of flavor. For me one taco is a snack and two is a meal.
They’ve also got burritos, quesadillas, and special plates. But once we tasted the tacos we didn’t try anything else.
If you want to save some cash, bring you own drinks.
I like this location, right next to the water. You can enjoy your tacos, gaze at the ocean and kick away the roosters. Our second visit was when it was raining, however we still sat at the picnic tables. We didn’t care if we got wet cause the tacos were so tasty.
This is a must stop when in Kauai and you’ll probably be back again during your trip.
