Killer Tacos has a laid-back, surf-inspired vibe that’s easy to appreciate, especially if you’re on Oʻahu looking for a casual spot to kick back. Located just a few minutes from the beach, it feels like the kind of place surfers and locals might frequent after a long day catching waves. The atmosphere is relaxed, with walls adorned with surfboards and beachy decor, and the staff is friendly, giving off an effortless island charm.

I decided to try their fish tacos, a staple for any taco joint, and I had high hopes. When they arrived, the presentation was decent – two soft tortillas stuffed with seasoned fish, topped with coleslaw and a drizzle of sauce. The fish itself was fresh and flaked nicely, a definite plus when it comes to tacos. The toppings were crisp and added a nice crunch, while the sauce provided a bit of tang to balance the flavors.

That said, while the meal was enjoyable, I couldn’t help but feel that it was missing something that would set it apart. The flavors were mild, and I found myself wishing for a bit more spice or zest. It didn’t have the kind of punch or uniqueness that makes you crave it long after you’ve left.

All in all, Killer Tacos delivered solid, fresh fish tacos, but they were just that – good, not great. If you’re looking for a quick, decent taco fix near the beach, it’s worth a stop. Just don’t expect a flavor explosion or anything particularly memorable.

Killer Taco is a super laid back restaurant with very friendly and welcoming staff and delicious food at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend checking them out!

The burritos are absolutely ginormous. My husband and I should have shared one. They have a short but sweet menu with reasonable prices. The vibe could be a little more "aloha" feeling, but it was pretty good.

We were greeted immediately as we entered. They even walked us through their meats and ingredients. They try to make up for the price with lunch deals, but they are pretty pricey. The salsa is good, but I wish they had a hot sauce selection for the food. On the plus side, they are one of the few places with a parking lot. Overall, tacos are decent, but it wouldn’t be my choice. Killer Tacos with a “KILLER” price.

BEST TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD! We came here on a Wednesday. Lovely and fresh. WOW. Highly recommend. I am writing this review after trying other tacos in Hawaii and felt I needed to rave about these because they really were the best by a long mile! Thanks guys. I would drive from Oahu just for your tacos.

My wife and I stopped here on a whim. I had the fish soft taco and my wife had the hard shell trio of pork, beef, and chicken. All were very tasty. Nothing "stood out" as fantastic but was definitely worth the stop.

First found the Killer Tacos restaurant on the Big Island and very happy to find another in Haleiwa. The Kalua pork Tacos are the best!

Killer Tacos was very good. I had a Longboard burrito ($15.99) and it was very good size for the cost. The service was good and the staff was friendly. The fountain machine only had coke, diet coke, and dr. pepper though. Everything else was sold out. Seating is limited to only 3 small outdoor tables, (2 with three chairs and 1 with two chairs) and a small indoor dining area, so if you plan to eat there get there early and try to snag a table.
