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!!

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.

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!

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

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.

The beef tacos were great, but the veggie burrito was extremely bland and plain. $17 for rice, beans and cabbage? Not even some extra sauteed veggies? Bit of a rip. Better Mexican restaurants in the area!

Got the Baja plate, which came with choice of a combination of grilled and fried fish tacos, refried beans and rice. Love the grilled tacos. A surprising lunch around a beautiful place.

Found this little gem after a full morning visiting a botanical garden. I had the crispy spicy shrimp with a lilikoi iced tea, and my wife had their chili chicken. The shrimp had a great crunch to them and it was smothered in their tasty sauce. It also came with rice that was cooked perfectly and a scoop of their macaroni salad which they had recommended to me. The macaroni was surprisingly good too as it had lots of fresh raw garlic in it which even gave it a bit of spice. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great meal that won’t break the bank.

Of all the fish tacos I’ve ever had, these were nowhere near the top of my list, even on the island of Kauai. It was near where we were staying, but if you want good fish tacos, I recommend Tiki Tacos. These were over loaded and the fish didn’t taste fresh. It was shredded either, the fish was just cooked in long square sticks (that looked too much like the fish sticks of my youth for my comfort) and thrown right in the tortilla as is – not shredded and seasoned evenly or anything like that. The taste was not authentic at all. While their portions are big, this place is kinda like the greasy burger joint of tacos. I honestly can’t recommend it when there are such good LEGIT fish tacos to be had on the island.
