Carrie NydenSeptember 10, 2013Food was incredible! I ordered the carne asada tacos and I love that they offer jicama tortillas. Such a fun twist on standard tacos. The salsa tasting is also great-especially the papaya habanero.
Joey CombsJune 5, 2016Get the Hula Tai! Best Mai Tai on the island I tried - none of those gross sugary mixers! Also the tacos are amazing here. Get a side of papaya habanero salsa!
Fabulous breakfast menu. This breakfast quesadilla was not just one of the best Mexican breakfast items my husband and I have ever tasted. It was the best quesadilla we've ever had.
Bradd EastonDecember 9, 2013Chips-awesome, guacamole is bland. Needs garlic or onion. Perfect marg is a triple sec fest, nothing special. Burritos are huge & excellent. tomatillo sauce is great. Lavender margarita is amazing.
Praful GuptaApril 23, 2015A great place to get dinner. Go upstairs and make a reservation ahead of time to get a good seat. You can watch the sunset from that complex.
Robin JonesOctober 7, 2014The Grilled Breakfast Quesadillas were ‘ono and the salsa was phenomenal! Being from Texas, I'm always wary of eating Mexican food on vacation, but this place didn't disappoint!- Modern Mexican cuisine in a chic setting. Creative food and drinks prepared with fresh ingredients. Open late on Thursday and Saturday nights for music events. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Randy CottinghamApril 24, 2013The short ribs with verde sauce is AMAZING! Best verde I've ever had! If you like verde sauce, I highly recommend trying this!
Sean WileyDecember 31, 2013The jalapeño Margarita is great but make sure to ask for two jalapeños muddled to get a pleasant burn.... And Barbara's recommendations were spot on. Ask for her
Holly SeversonJanuary 19, 2013Yummy battered fish tacos and the carne asada tacos were good, too. Nice presentation and the happy hour hydration margarita was tasty.
MiMi BenfieldFebruary 24, 2013So far so good...the "Hydration" margarita with coconut water is ridiculous. Plus the girls working here are crazy beautiful. If I lived in Koloa this would be my regular spot.
Papalani GelatoOctober 31, 2011Great downstairs bar/cafe with a cool vibe. Nice drinks. The upstairs dining room is open for dinner and is worth a try. Beautiful dining room, and well prepared food
Jeff ZachariasDecember 9, 2013Good chips. Guacamole was blah. Great veggie burrito - love the spicy tomatillo sauce. Asked for ice tea and chocolate cake but they were out. I don't understand how a restaurant runs out of iced tea?
Jeffrey BytomskiJuly 12, 2015The fresh catch fajitas and table side guacamole were amazing. Service was great too.
Solid happy hour from 3-5 everyday. Affordable (AVG $5/item) and good quality food. Nachos w/ chicken and Jalapeño Croquetas recommended.
eric bornemannJanuary 26, 2021Good place for a margarita when you get tired of drinking rum - it’s a hard life on the island.
Enjoyed the Happy Hour! (3-5 Daily) $5 drinks and apps! And, tasty ones, mind you. Can I say they are "Classy Nachos"? Is that a thing?
Richard SusantoDecember 2, 2013Sit upstairs and sip a glass of Lilikoi Margarita while you watch the sunset. Heavenly.
Jackie MenterJuly 29, 2012Chips and salsa are great. Everything was fresh and impeccably prepared. The skinny Marguerita is first-rate.
Kuino GarzaJuly 3, 2013Looks like crap cuz ive been killing it but the Chilaquilles are totally awesome... Thought the poached eggs were sour cream... Lol
Brett LarondeJanuary 12, 2012Omg amazing...upstairs so awesome make reservations...table side guacamole outstanding....service was impeccable
Nancy RealSeptember 19, 2012Great music in the bar Tuesdays and Thursdays. Lots of locals and the food was Delish.
Jordan GDecember 5, 2012The salsa and guacamole offer is actually REALLY expensive. Separate charges for the guacamole and for the.salsa. At least the guacamole was really yummy!
April AngNovember 20, 2015The tortilla soup was excellent. Overall a decent meal. Prices were average for the island.
Kim TopsnikSeptember 9, 2011Stop by for drinks at the bar before you head up to the restaurant. And save some room for desert! 
Patrick MacKelvieJune 4, 2012If you like spicy, ask for a side of the carrot habanero salsa...and another beer!
Meghan BergerSeptember 17, 2014Fish tacos and chicken tacos. Happy hour with a glass of wine for $5.- The breakfast quesadilla at #TortillaRepublic is the best quesadilla @RayJGordon and I have ever had. Period.
Andy ShefskyDecember 30, 2011Amazing service and amazing food. Oh and amazing atmosphere too! Love this place!!!
Kevin MullinMay 15, 2013Gabby and Patrick mix up some awesome libations! This is not a place you want to miss!
chris nollMay 31, 2012Nice ambience. Good food. Poor service by our waitress - saw her once when she took our order and a second time when she brought the check- Michael CampbellDecember 30, 2011The food and salsa were FANTASTIC. !!!! Service was also excellent.
If you like Thai food, try the Thai margarita with coconut milk.
Sin-Young ParkDecember 17, 2013Order Flautas de Pollo and not the shrimp taco. Alright but could be better...

"I love the fruity flavors - they've got the exact same flavor and texture as real fruit! Considering how big the scoops are, the price is not too bad. Better than Baskin Robin's: 31 Flavors."
Ardyss - 8.5
"This is a super small shopping centre, good selection of retail outlets, restaurants and a couple of places to grab a coffee. Beautifully maintained and lovely to walk around"
Susan Y - 7.4
"Get the Shaved Snow. Both the Coconut and the Creamsicle are good. Try something "underneath" for added flavor."
