Killer Tacos

Haleʻiwa


These guys offer not only killer tacos but killer burritos. Try the longboard burrito ($9.50) with coconut rice and chicken, beef or kalua pig, plus all the other burrito goodies inside. Great value, tasty and filling. The fish burrito using Alaskan cod is also popular, and there's an array of other Mexican options. Friendly service.
