I've been looking for a good Mexican restaurant and that just so happens to be the name of the restaurant I dropped into the other night and had some old school Mexican food, the south of the border dishes authentic prepared in no time at all. It didn't take long for me to decide - Enchiladas my favorite, but it's been years since I experienced that original robust flavor, accompanied with frijoles and Spanish rice. This Mexican restaurant is located on school street near The Rainbow Restaurant. Inside , authentic Mexican decor, I give it a thumbs up to an culinary joyful experience.
The burritos, and queso skillet were excellent, and the margarita was good. The service was fine (after I asked someone if they could take our order after we were seated and waited 25 minutes). Of course having to ask was embarrassing and was the main reason for the low review. The food was good, so I will go back and hope that the service is better.
$70 total for two people. The restaurant was very busy! Despite this, the service was still friendly and fast. Unfortunately, the server misheard me and I received shredded beef instead of my desired shredded chicken. It was still good, but I prefer to eat chicken. The free salsa was a bit weird. Kinda like spicy ketchup. Everything else we ordered was hot and tasty. Something that surprised me was the rice and beans. Very flavorful. Definitely the star of the plate. The enchiladas are VERY cheesy, lactose intolerants beware! Overall, we had a lovely meal and we would be happy to return.
I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for good Mexican food in Honolulu, however the salsa is extra and it was not worth it. The enchiladas were delicious and well proportioned. Don’t get the horchata 🌝

Amazing food! Amazing service! Really cool decorations! Definitely recommend
Great Mexican restaurant. Be prepared to spend $30 per person minimum but it is worth it. The salsa has a mesquite smoked flavor that is phenomenal.
This Mexico eatery servers very authentic Mexican food and the staffs are also friendly! The portion is good and a free basket of Taco , great Salsa source. Highly recommended the combo plate! Just one thing to note that this restaurant is located right across from a famous Hawaii food restaurant, few parking lots
Food is ACTUALLY delicious. And I say "actually" because a lot of Mexican places are not authentic in their flavors. This was delicious. We had the Chile Verde and the pork was so tender it was melt in your mouth. Also had the garlic shrimp camarones plate with a side of veggies. The shrimp are huge and extremely juicy. They are literally sitting on fresh garlic. Even the salsa is bursting with flavor. Delicious all around. Highly recommend.
The staff are wonderful and every dish is very delicious and highly recommended. Horchata had the best concentration and taste.
