“ Didn’t have high expectations for this Mexican place in the Ala Moana first floor food court but was pleasantly surprised! Not the best but not the worst you’ll find on island ... and they have mini plates, which you won’t find at many Mexican places here. You don’t get the choices of toppings with a mini plate, but it’s a great deal for around 10. You get rice and beans, and our choice of enchilada, soft or crispy taco, tamale, or 6” quesadilla - perfect sized lunch for me. Aaaaaand they have Ube Horchata. Again, not the best - I make a pretty good one - but not the worst. All in all, would definitely come back for lunch to try other mini plates! ”

“ For hawaii... this is ok mexican food. A little bit on the pricey side but mexican food is always more expensive compared to the mainland. Value and taste are what you could expect fron the food court in ala moana. The soft tacos are good and the nachos are good too, also the tamales are pretty good. This is the only mexican place in the food court and is ok if your craving some mexican food. Check this place out. ”
