Safe but tasteless and gross. No one in our family enjoyed their meal. Be aware that the tacos come with lettuce that has salad dressing on it, making the tacos slimy and inedible. The chicken and salsa had no flavor.

I had the local style grilled mahi mahi plate and it was fantastic. The menu is clearly marked with GF options and the staff was knowledgeable. I also got a side of the slaw so we could share it and it was great as well. No issues later so I plan to eat here more than once on my vacation.

Great spot! My favorite fish tacos ever! Not sure why other reviews had a problem with the larger chopped slaw, personal preference, but tasted great and loved that it didn’t get lost with everything else. Highly recommend. So many great options!!

Wonderful food with a good selection of GF choices. The woman taking our order made us feel very comfortable and when the server came out and asked who had the celiac order, we were sold! The grilled Ono plate was outstanding! It was a great value too!

GF menu items clearly marked which is so nice. Very good understanding of what was GF and what wasn’t and will mark your order as “celiac” if needed. Great food!

I live on Oahu and eat here every time I’m on Maui/Kauai. I am super sensitive and have never had a reaction. Always super knowledgeable staff and allergy protocols in the kitchen when you tell them you’re celiac. I always get the taco mountain which is everything you get in a taco but over rice because I’m sensitive to corn.

Ordered the chicken tacos and other family members got fish tacos. Everyone’s food was outstanding and didn’t feel nervous about cross contamination at all. Everything on the menu is marked, and service was fast. Food was very fresh and we all agreed that we would happily eat here again!

This place is great and we are here multiple times on our trip! There are tons of items marked gf on the menu and they seem to take cross contamination seriously. I was excited to be able to get spicy poke since usually that is made with soy sauce. The fish tacos were also excellent!

Very good tacos!! I had the kaluha pork tacos and my husband had the fish tacos. He’s not GF, but he said the fish tacos were really good. The pork tacos were delicious! Both were listed as gluten free. The fryer is not gluten free, so make sure to ask about anything fried. Would definitely recommend.

My husband, who is not a big fish eater, really enjoyed the Local Style Grilled Mahi-Mahi plate! It was served atop brown rice with a side of coleslaw and a slice of tomato with grated cheese. GF is indicated in the menu and staff understood when we placed our orders. We will definitely return. This is a casual eatery. You order at the counter and staff delivers your food. A good value for our money.
