Great authentic as it can get for the island Mexican food. Would be a 3.8 in Los Angeles but hey, we are far from LA. Tasty with a big choice of hot sauces!

This is a good Mexican food restaurant for the big island. In Cali, it would be a 3. The service is nice. We ordered quesadillas. They come with either a mild or spicy salsa, guac, and sour cream.
