    I was actually researching where to eat in Hilo when I decided to test out the "best restaurants" near to me in Kahului so I could get an idea of how truthful the search was. That's how I found this lunch-only spot. And with a 5-star average, it was worth a try. ATMOSPHERE: They're located in the former Broke Da Mouth space. It's small and simple with total seating for 12 inside, with two unprotected communal picnic tables outside. MENU: Tacos, burritos, tortas, Mexican plates, local plate lunches. They no longer offer the "crazy fries" as the current owner took over the place from his brother, but offers an off-the-menu "crazy nachos" in its place. The menu is customizable, so just ask. FOOD: Steak Burrito The meat was tender with a good natural flavor though not very plentiful, and filled with pinto beans, jalapenos, tomatoes, raw onions, and rice which I got on the side. The overall flavor of the burrito was quite bland, regardless of the chipotle aioli inside which I couldn't detect. Luckily I had salsa at home to wake it from its sleep. Good portion size. Crazy Nachos This was not listed on their menu but the owner/chef suggested it as I was inquiring on a dish they no longer offer which was the "crazy fries". It was basically traditional nachos with a topping of your choice in which we chose pork. The pork cubes were super tender but very subtle in the flavor department. The guacamole was really tasty and creamy. But that's where the joy ended. It wasn't as cheesy as I had hoped for, lacked sour cream, and ended up being just vapid. SERVICE: The chef/owner was very welcoming and engaging, explaining in detail the menu and preparation. Food preparation was a quick in under 10 minutes. OVERALL: Absolutely fresh but the dishes need flavor infusion. Great service.

    The tacos are delicious and absolutely fresh. The chips, salsa, and guacamole were also really great. The service is fast too which is a plus.

    I don’t like making reviews usually but I felt this was needed. The first few bites were good then I got to the carne asada and woah, I honestly haven’t tasted anything saltier in my life. Couldn’t even finish my burrito, super disappointed. Spent $60 too 🥲

    Great little spot, food is delicious but it’s located on a busy street. We ordered tacos and guacamole + salsa. There’s seating outside only.

    Stopped here for a late lunch and it did not disappoint to get authentic Mexican food! Had the guacamole, ranchero chicken and pork carnitas tacos- amazing! My fiancé had the chorizo burrito and it was incredibly flavorful. Must also mention their prices are great and portions are hefty. If you’re looking for a no frills spot for tasty food- look no further!
