Review Nixtamal Kauai - Kapaa

Lisa Smith
I ate lunch here yesterday and returned for dinner today! Today I ordered the chicken tamale platter, so now I can also rave about the rice and beans. I just want to say again how delicious the masa is on these tamales. I only ate one tamale, I think they are good sized. Leftover will be for lunch or breakfast?! The rice does not have any fillers, like carrots or peas. It had great flavor and I only needed to add some salt. I make my rice with fresh tomatoes and a whole onion, but that’s how my grandmother made it and I’ve never had it that way anywhere. The beans were great too, not totally smashed, just right! You guys might see me back before I leave Kauai!

The tamales here are very good, albeit on the smallish side. The masa is cooked well and the beef tamal is interesting since it also has olives in the filling. The chicken is very good and the pumpkin is unique - never had one like this before. The rice and beans are tasty too. Prices are fair.

Super friendly service and great deal for authentic Mexican food! The best Horchata! Tamale plate was perfect - beans tasted just like my mom's, rice was good, and tamales were so delicious! The masa was perfect! Tried the beef and potato, chicken and vegetable of the day, which was nopales with onions and a spicy little chili pepper. All delicious on their own, but the spicy salsa took it to another level! Also got the chips and salsa - chips are nice and thick and perfectly crisp, the mild salsa was really good! Looking forward to coming back next year!
