Taste like gross air no flavor no seasoning.. they said it was a burrito, but there was nothing about it. That was a burrito. There was no flour tortilla shell no shelling at all. It was just a pile of beans covered in shredded lettuce with some cheap cheese from big save and then I had to pay extra for the sour cream on it and I had no taste. No flavor at all. It taste like I was eating gross air. The fish was fried, but it wasn’t any good had no taste and then I’d try the sauce came with the sauce had no taste like zero I was like what is it, like sour cream would have tasted better than that sauce they made and then the salsa, no seasoning you can’t salsa just say you want some diced tomatoes. We just cut up and don’t charge me extra for it and chips. Thanks a lot 25 bucks. … sorry for any misspelling I didn’t want to waste any more time with this BS! so I used my talk text. I’m a business owner in a heavily saturated tourist area and I will let people know to stay away. They probably don’t care about this business at all they definitely don’t put time into the recipes or flavors and they just rip tourists off just another way to make money some big tourist trap on Kauai

I ordered the tropical fish taco (see picture), which costs $20 for a single tiny taco that was not very good. How these people can justify charging $20 for 1 lousy taco and a few chips is crazy. The only saving grace was that the gal working the register was friendly and they provided a $3 off coupon for the next taco (ie, $37 for two tacos).
They used very inexpensive ingredients as well (e.g., iceberg lettuce, bulk shredded cheese, processed salsa, etc.). Their profit margin per taco must be like 85-90%.
Highly discourage you from making my mistake. Go eat elsewhere!

Fast and delicious, very fresh fish (it’s ahi!!!) perfectly fried and not oily at all. Fish itself was super juicy and flavorful. Baby burrito is actually HUGE and came with an extra piece of fish on the side. Highly recommend this spot!! Restrooms available for customers

Tropical Taco has memories for me and my kids. We lived on Kauai for 6 months when they were very young. I always got them the baby bean and cheese burritos. Back here now as adults, they loved them just as they had before. Located in the most quaint and my favorite town of Hanalei.

We usually come here at least once per trip. The fried fish tacos are good and it’s usually pretty chill out on the deck, watching people drive by. That being said, I feel like their prices went up at some point in the last year or two and they were already pretty steep to begin with. Hence, the single visit per trip. I think it’s a little bit of Hawaii pricing and a little bit of Hanalei Bay pricing. Good stuff, but not good enough for more than once a trip!

Great spot for lunch while visiting Hanalei Bay. The fish tacos were great, and the burritos were huge! For those complaining about the price go to taco bell. The food here is quite tasty, large portions, and worth every penny! I am a big fan of ahi for the tacos and burritos! We will be back!!

Probably the worst taco place I’ve been to in Tulum. Found a beetle in my tacos. The girl serving is dropped off the food and was never seen again. When we wanted the bill to leave she was over sitting at the bar eating food and playing on her phone. To top it off, I left my small back pack on the chair and whoever cleared the table when we left stole my bag.
There’s way better places here to spend your money. I’d definitely avoid this place

Stopped here for lunch on our trip to Kauai. My husband and I got the grilled fish tacos. They came with a side of slaw, rice, refried beans and a few tortilla chips. Our meals came to $40. Very pricey, in my opinion. The tacos were good, but very messy! The chips seemed stale to me. The rice was a little undercooked as it was crunchy. The beans were good. Friendly folks.
