Off the beaten path but we'll worth the trip. It's really not terribly fast. The food is fresh and delicious. We got the chicken and beef tacos and while we were waiting for our order a taco salad came up that made me wish I'd ordered that. It looked incredible with slices of avacado around the top.

The food is amazing. I got the tamale plate, the day's special. Service was great. These are all meant to be to-go, but it stayed hot on my way to the scenic point in Kona, where I was able to enjoy my meal!

Best counter service Mexican food available on the island. This comes from a native San Diegan who has grown up with constant access to authentic Mexican food. Reasonably priced ($14 for a two taco combo), especially given their remote-ish location in coffee country. Made to order, super hot and fresh. Pollo, birria, and carne asada were all delicious. Took 5-10min to receive our food with no line. No seating available inside or out, so we ate in our car. Limited street parking available, but we did not have any issues finding a spot. Give this place some love if you're in the area!
