The Best Tacos In Hawaii Are Served At This Humble Restaurant In The Middle Of Nowhere

The Hawaiian Islands aren’t necessarily known for killer Mexican food; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Hawaii has a bad reputation as having notoriously sub-par Mexican food. But that doesn’t mean that you aren’t able to find some mouthwateringly delicious tacos — as long as you know where to look, that is. If you crave tacos as often as we do, you’ll want to head to North Shore Tacos, an amazing little joint along Oahu’s northeastern coast, as soon as possible. Not only will you find scrumptious food, but the view’s not too shabby either.

Welcome to North Shore Tacos, a Baja-style Mexican eatery famous for its award-winning fresh fish tacos and pineapple tiki drinks that's a bit off the beaten path.

While this family-owned restaurant has two locations — both along Kamehameha Highway on Oahu— today, we’re focusing on their Hau’ula location.

Utilizing fresh, sustainable ingredients, you can expect a homemade meal similar to what you might prepare for yourself at home using fresh meats and produce — but better, of course.

The fresh-caught fish is delivered daily, and sure to make your mouth water.

This scrumptious taco plate is served with two corn or flour tortilla tacos stacked with your choice of meat.

You can choose fish, shrimp, steak, chicken, sweet pork, or beef and then add jack cheese, fresh lettuce, pico de gallo and their signature Surf Sauce. Add a side of rice and beans or chips and salsa for a delicious meal you’ll want to eat again and again.

Despite its namesake, you’ll find more than tacos on the menu here.

From burritos and nachos to quesadillas and salads, there’s something for everyone here.

You’ll even find a variety of breakfast items...

... as well as desserts and specialty tropical drinks. Just take a look at this beautiful concoction served in a pineapple!

We haven't even mentioned the best part yet:

The restaurant is located right across from the beach, and you can easily enjoy a meal with a view — without the cost of a typical oceanfront restaurant. Full plates are nominally priced making it budget-friendly.

If you haven't checked out the popular place out yet, you're missing out!

Be warned, though: after just one visit, you'll find yourself driving from the opposite side of the island just for lunch! They really do serve some of the best tacos in Hawaii!

The second location is found in Pupukea at 59-712 A Kamehameha Hwy., Haleiwa, HI 96712, and is open from 11 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. For more information, visit the official restaurant website or follow them on Facebook.
