Marina was super friendly and funny, her food recommendations were delicious, it was our first time visiting, each one of our Uber drivers highly recommended us to do so and they were right: Búho has great music, fabulous servers, a wide variety of drinks. Cocktails and deliciously prepared Mexican cuisine choices. Being on the of the building definitely gives it a unique vibe, ambiance was perfect for the occasion. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Visited Waikiki last weekend. Coming from LA we decided to try Buho out because its one of the few places that stays open late. Ordered the chorizo nachos and 6 improvised cocktails. All delicious! Also caught the firework show.
Total came up to $200 felt a little over priced. But they were good

Appetizers and cocktails were okay. Shrimp ceviche & birria fries were the best. DJ on Friday plays alot of Mexican music with a remix here and there. Good place if you want to meet tourists/international mix of people.

Went for dinner here and it was such a great time! Food was awesome, drinks were tasty and our waiter was super friendly and very attentive!! And after dinner they had a live DJ that played great dancing music for all types of dancers and listeners. In general, the atmosphere was welcoming and super friendly, prices were decent for a open air rooftop in the middle of Waikiki!! Oh and bring some cash with you to tip the lovely lady at the ladies’ room, she was so kind and has over 20 different lotions to choose from after you wash your hands, I loved it!! Super recommended!!!

Only on special occasions do i give 5 starts. The best food I've reviewed so far. The beef brisket buho Bonito was fantastic and full of flavor, if I could change one thing about it not put as much rice but more things inside. The deep fried ice cream was new and good also. I will be returning and recommending to others good job to everyone. On another hand the regular drink price was 3$ which is way cheaper than most restaurants I've ordered from. I also recommend the beef brisket n

Leaving 4 stars only because of a negative experience with the host last night. I’ll start by saying the food was great, the waitress Naomi was great, and the outdoor seating was great. We liked the menu options and our drinks were great also.
We did not have a reservation because they’re booked out a bit. They reserve a lot of seats for walk-Ins and I suppose there are a lot of reservation cancellations. When we arrived, I asked the host if we could be seated outside. She replied no because they were reserved for reservations even though she seated a group of 3 without reservations ahead of outside. Plus more than half of the tables were empty. I asked if I could speak to the manager and then the host acquiesced and seated us outside. I wasn’t rude and I definitely never want to be a jerk to hard working people. A simple customer should be taken into consideration and not summarily dismissed.

Absolutely loved this place. This place had dining option while all the places were not accepting any more reservations in Waikiki on Christmas Day. Very friendly staff and they had live music. We ordered Mexican street corn, corn dip and vegetarian chimichanga. All the prep was delicious and freshly prepared. It’s on the rooftop that makes this place even more interesting.

Mexican is my favorite cuisine. This was rooftop seating and so nice. The food was excellent. Drinks were good too. Had a hi ling mui margarita that was so delicious I hunted down the powder to make my own the next day. Would eat here often if we lived here. Delicious!!

Food was pretty good even though I don't particularly care for Mexican cuisine. The ambiance was lively and fresh, and the service was attentive yet not over-bearing. Overall I would come here again to try something more from their drink menu, but I wouldn't come here to get wasted. It's a nice social spot for pau hana, or perhaps even a good start to a fun night out.

What I enjoy about this spot is it's Downtown Hawaii. The drinks aren't that great, but who cares after like about 9:30 pm or 10pm. The place turns into a nice dance hall. Taco Tuesdays are simply the best. You can sit at a traditional table or the fire pit table, making the atmosphere a whole vibe. Lots of laughs & meeting local & or visits. The fun cranks up once the DJ arrives. From VIP seating to an open dance floor where you can salsa the night away. Buho is a must visit if you're ever in town.

Nice place, views of Waikiki including Pink Hotel. Food was a bit high but expected for this area. Service was ok, seemed to be rushing through meal, food was served fast. Drinks north of 15 dollars. Atmosphere is diverse in side, seating by fire area, bar, patio seating, and overlooking Kalakaua. No validation in garage, garage is hard to get to from restaurant, which is located on front of building. Directions on google were confusing, in garage you get in elevator it says on building maker on 5th floor, it s, but appears an exit for emergency or employee entrance, this should be updated in building. Exit building, go to street level, go up in different elevator. Had the chimicanga, fully loaded. Daughters birthday mentioned, no special treat offered or dessert, disappointment on that one.

We ate dinner here last night (2 adults and 3 kids). Most places are completely booked but Buho leaves a bunch of seats for walk ins. They are currently seating at 50% for Covid so half the bar and seats are blocked off. They told us it would be 30-45 wait but we got text to be seated in about 15. We had chips and salsa, and various entrees / kids meals. The fish tacos were good. My wife’s salad was ok (generic she said) and the kids ate their meals. My son really enjoyed the fish and chips. The drinks were good - plenty of options for all types of tequila. Service was quick and responsive. I think our server was Ty. Would imagine in normal times the ‘outside / rooftop bar area is pretty hopping. They did have pretty good live music. 🤙🏼

I had a great time with my wife at this rooftop restaurant. The entrance is kinda hidden. When google says you have arrived look for an elevator and head to the 4th floor. Had the spicy strawberry margarita and at first it was not spicy but the burn increases as you drink. Make sure you leave space for a desert.
