Monicos Taqueria
Reviews
I've followed this guy/ owner for years & he has consistently gotten better and now has a full on restaurant. The employees are friendly, courteous, checking on tables. The food Good, more than filling and consistent quality. Bonus for the in-house bar! YES, it does get quite busy at times & the *locals*, like myself don't mind the wait, because we know, Monico's, does a bang up job on his Service & Food! Kanaka Pete, Kilauea
It was really nice ! I was in and out again in 45 minutes ! I came right at 5 when they open but two minutes later every take was taken ! It took me forever to decide so a lot of people ordered before me ... I still got my food super fast, maybe 5 minutes ! I couldn't even empty my glass of water bc I got more as soon as I drank something :) everyone was really nice there ! I would recommend it if you want a small cute little restaurant with nice staff :)
The best thing to get is tostadas: 1 steak 1 fish. It's surf and turf and salad and nachos. This is the best mexican food I've ever had outside of la taqueria in San Francisco. Actually, it might be as good. And the fish was perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect. Perfect. Not good. Perfect. Will be back.
We went to the restaurant based on previous reviews and had the seared Ahi taco plate. The fish portion was generous and the jalapeno cream sauce was tasty. Went back again for happy hour for the $5 margaritas and steak nachos. Ask for the spicy salsa and they will serve you two tasty sauces. We were only on the island for four nights otherwise we would have returned again.
GREAT FOOD! GREAT ATOMOSPHERE! GREAT PEOPLE & SERVICE! LOTS OF COMPETITION HAVE MOVED IN ALONG THE WAY ~ STAY HAPPY AND LIVE ALOHA ~
