Best KPortal Reviews

I ordered the tropical fish taco (see picture), which costs $20 for a single tiny taco that was not very good. How these people can justify charging $20 for 1 lousy taco and a few chips is crazy. The only saving grace was that the gal working the register was friendly and they provided a $3 off coupon for the next taco (ie, $37 for two tacos).
They used very inexpensive ingredients as well (e.g., iceberg lettuce, bulk shredded cheese, processed salsa, etc.). Their profit margin per taco must be like 85-90%.
Highly discourage you from making my mistake. Go eat elsewhere!
Got the Baja plate, which came with choice of a combination of grilled and fried fish tacos, refried beans and rice. Love the grilled tacos. A surprising lunch around a beautiful place.
Tropical Taco has memories for me and my kids. We lived on Kauai for 6 months when they were very young. I always got them the baby bean and cheese burritos. Back here now as adults, they loved them just as they had before. Located in the most quaint and my favorite town of Hanalei.
Great spot for lunch while visiting Hanalei Bay. The fish tacos were great, and the burritos were huge! For those complaining about the price go to taco bell. The food here is quite tasty, large portions, and worth every penny! I am a big fan of ahi for the tacos and burritos! We will be back!!
Stopped here for lunch on our trip to Kauai. My husband and I got the grilled fish tacos. They came with a side of slaw, rice, refried beans and a few tortilla chips. Our meals came to $40. Very pricey, in my opinion. The tacos were good, but very messy! The chips seemed stale to me. The rice was a little undercooked as it was crunchy. The beans were good. Friendly folks.
The grilled fish taco was ginormous but pretty good! Very good tortilla chips.
If you like $20 fried or grilled fish tacos and burritos that have no flavor at all, this is the spot for you. Even my white mom thought there was no flavor. For $1 you can buy the smallest dab of hot salsa which also has hardly any flavor. The chips were good.
Ordered fish and chips and fish tacos. Each plate was $20 The fish was fried in rather large pieces though. The fries were very good! The service was great and food came out quick
