Our first visit here was limited to the happy hour menu because they happened to have a special prix fixe dinner menu that evening. We tried all of the tacos which were delicious and filling. When we came back to try the regular menu the tacos were equally excellent, the trio of sopes was great, and the chipotle lobster was perfectly tender and seasoned.
No lineup and was seated right away. We had the pork and chicken tacos and a caesar salad to share. Both tacos were quite flavorful. The salad had wonderful grilled tomatoes which added a depth of flavour.
Tip: come by on Tuesdays for $2 tacos between 12pm - 5pm.
The servers are are quite friendly and attentive.
Loved their happy hour $2 tacos, which are everyday from 12-5. The tomatillo sauce goes greeaatt with the chicken tacos, which are probably dark meat so they were definitely juicy, and were probably my favorite (coming from someone who usually picks beef + pork over chicken ). Only downside is sometimes it seems like the chefs forget about your orders so our waitress had to go back and remind them after we waited for half an hour, and once the chefs were reminded our tacos did come out pretty quick. Also i wish service from the servers were a bit quicker, but they were understandably busy. Otherwise, would definitely come back for their $2 tacos - and if you drink, $4 margaritas.

A really great place for a light lunch & cocktails - visited during the taco & Margherita special. The food had great flavours & the drinks were strong! We visited a few times during our stay in Waikiki. Only thing I would comment on would be that there the service was a bit slow as there were minimal staff on during happy hour. We weren’t in a rush but there were some other tables that seemed a bit irate.
Went here by myself & picked the place as it was a great idea for drinks/food while people watching.
The food was great and came out quite quickly + the ingredients seemed quite natural and overall tasted great.
Tequila or Margaritas, I was a bit surprised that they were dishing it out of a huge frosty machine; but taste was good and sufficient amount of alcohol seemed to be included in the mix ;-)
The tacos were ok, service was nice but kind of slow. Get the pork tacos, the beef were not that good. Good music, prices were reasonable. Will come again to try other stuff on there menu.
This place was great. Loved their tacos and their $5 happy hour margaritas. Great service as well. Will return next time I’m in town.
It’s taco Tuesday every day at Mi Almita Cantina! From 12-5 they have some awesome drink and food specials. I mean, you can’t go wrong with 2$ tacos. This was the best Mexican food we had while visiting Honolulu. Only 4 stars because the service was a little slow when we first sat down. Highly recommend visiting for lunch!
Great modern Mexican food. Everything tasted great. Quesadilla was my favorite for the night. Service was ok no complaint. Pricing for a Waikiki restaurant not to bad.
Tacos were good, a little small, but delicious. The margherita was awesome! The salsa, guacamole and beans were a little bland. We added hot sauce to ours. Service was great!
