Is the food here good? Yes, the Quesataco Dorado, Mini Quesadilla and Consume are good. Does the Consume come with your order? No, menu is a la carte. Is this place worth waiting an hour and a half or longer? I don't think so. My lunch buddy and I decided to come here the Wednesday after Ohana Hale Marketplace opened up again. This was during the extension of the second Stay-At-Home order. After reading about how long people wait to order food from here, we decided to arrive at 10am. I got there earlier but I was on a call with a client so I stayed in my vehicle. Luckily my lunch buddy is always early and went inside to stand in line. Even though we were early, she was still 3rd in line. Now the wait begins...One hour passed and they finally opened to take orders! They took the first and second persons order. Third persons order was taken after first person received their order. This continues down the line. This is why you have to wait so long to order here. They seriously need to figure out a new system because if they don't, this will be their downfall. The food is good but I don't think it's worth the wait as mentioned above. Price is also on the high end for what you get. Overall, great to support local during this time but it'll be awhile before I come back again.

Yay! Finally got to try the hype on the mainland. There's another place that has this too, but it's too far for me to get to. They opened at ohana market place last week and they already had a huge following. I attempted to go on their 3rd day and the line went out the door and then some. Since I was outside and the line was barely even moving, I decided to leave, especially since I read someone waited for 3 hours. I'm going to die from a heat stroke out there and I wasn't even prepared to wait that long. Then they were closed for a few days and was going to reopen on a Thursday, which ended up being the day of lockdown 2 on Oahu, and ohana market was now going to close completely, so they decided to open the day before! Score! I was so disappointed prior to that cause I was so close to trying until I saw they were going to open up before the place closes down. I was prepared this time! I went exactly when the marketplace opened and b-lined it to their spot! I scored and was the first in line! Lucky for me, they opened a little earlier than expected so the wait wasn't that bad - I say 40 mins tops! The menu was pretty small. It's either the Birria tacos for 4.50, quesadillas for $5, or the broth for $4. They have all of their lemonades and limeades and they start at $6 each. The limit was 10 tacos and I ended up getting all 10 along with 2 broths and a guava limeade. The total for all of this was a whopping $62. My jaw almost dropped. Lol. They also took orders 2 at a time so that's why the line barely moved. I hope they can find a way to be a little more efficient with this. I think they used maybe a 6" tortilla so it's not super big or super small either. The flavors were good and so was the broth. I really enjoyed the guava limeade that was recommended by the cashier. You can tell they use fresh limes in their drinks. I liked how I ordered too much so it came in two containers with limes and radishes. Perfect cause I forgot to tell them to separate 4 in a separate container since it was for a friend. I would come back again on occasion. It's kind of a lot of money for tacos, but it is addicting. I must say - I got myself into an entanglement with Birria tacos this week and I want more! Anyway! Some tips for you! Go when the mall opens so you don't have to wait 2++ hours and be disappointed or wait till the hype dies down. There's also 2 other people that sells this from their homes and 1 other restaurant that sells this twice a week in wahiawa. There is definitely more demand for this than people who actually make these. I hope more places jump on the Birria taco train!

It was okay. We waited 2 hours in line and let me tell you this.. There were only 2 employees working and they were both over it. It was packed and busy, so I truly would understand why they would be fed up. The menu was limited & they had only 2 options- Quesotaco Dorado and Mini Quesadilla. Both look and tasted just about the same. It ranged from about $4- $5.50 for 1. The Consume was $4 for 1 cup. It was a little Bland and I was not too impressed by it. I most definitely loved their Lemonades and limeades.This is located inside the Ohana Marketplace (Old Sports Authority) Highly recommend coming when they are open. I definitely want to try this place again when they have their full menu up and are not too busy. I'm sure if they were up to their game it would've tested great! Otherwise, It made me crave regular tacos. I'll definitely try this again and hope you guys check them out as well.

The HYPE is real!!Never would I imagine I would be standing in line for an hour just for tacos, but I was determined to get my hands on some birria tacos. I've been seeing a lot about these tacos and wanted to try them for myself. I'm glad that Griddled was the first place I tried them. Griddled is located in the Ohana Market Place off of Ward Avenue. It's tucked neatly in the far right corner when entering the main entrance of the market place. Expect lines to snake through out the isle in the market place and if not there on their slow days, expect to be in line for a while. The tacos at Griddled were packed with shredded meat (barria), melted cheese, cilantro and red onions in a crispy corn tortilla and comes with a side of lime and radish. I also ordered a mini quesadilla, which has the same ingredients as the tacos, but only slightly bigger and instead of corn tortillas, they use flour tortillas. When ordering either the tacos or the quesadilla, a MUST is the consome, which is a broth made of onions and cilantro. I don't know what else is in this broth, but I literally could drink that for days. It's so good!

My husband and I were excited to try this place, as he's Mexican so we are always on the hunt for good tacos lol. We waited in line for like 30 minutes and ordered 2 quesataco dorados, 1 consomé broth, and I got an ocean lemonade. Each taco was $4.50 so we thought it'd be a decent size.When we got our order and opened up the container, it was laughable at how small each taco was - and remember, each one was $4.50! Honestly, each taco should have been at most $2. The taste was pretty good with the consomé, but for the price, it wasn't worth it. Oh, did I mention that a small cup of the consomé alone was $4? And my lemonade was $7...Omg.. lolIt's a shame the portions and price were not worth it, as the tacos were pretty good and my lemonade was good.

They're currently closed at their ward location check their Instagram for their Waikiki location. Open W-SUN 12:30-8 or when they sell out as of right now. Been meaning to try this place for a while since it had so much hype. Never had barria tacos before but it definitely won't be my last time after trying this. I got three tacos and surprisingly was pretty full after eating. Must get the consome broth when ordering it really changes the tacos when u dip them in.

**This Review** is for the location at Hawaiian Monarch Hotel in Waikiki.We went to Hawaiian Monarch Hotel to take a covid test from the Kidney Foundation to travel back to Kona. The cart is conveniently located at the curbside of the lobby. We decided to try it since Kona does not have any Birria Tacos there. Because everything is made to order it takes some time to put it together. We ordered 4 tacos 2 consome, hot sauce, and Mexican Soda. The tacos and consome were outstanding. We waited about 15 minutes. The staff was friendly. I would definitely go back again.

THREE HOURS OF WAIT? YES It was worth it.If I didn't have an appointment at 1030, I would've waited in line right before they opened. I came at 1200 and I was one of those people waiting outside of the marketplace. I got my order at 1530. The reason why there was a long wait was because they were only taking two orders at a time. The staff were friendly and accommodating. But let's talk about those mouthwatering tacos! They were so goooooood! Quesataco Dorado $4.50 eachSo so good! It was very filling! Crispy corn tortilla, Shredded Birria with cheese, onion, cilantro and radishMini Quesadilla $5 eachCrispy flour tortilla, shredded birria, cheese, onion, cilantro and radish Cosme broth $4I should've ordered one broth instead. One broth is good for two to three people. Hot sauce $0.75Signature Drinks (Oceanada and Hawaiianade)$7Basically lemonade with different flavored syrups in it. LIMITED MENU:The menu on the wall isn't available yet except for the drinks. I wanted to get the cucumber limeade but they said they're not selling that yet. So that makes me want to come back when the lines die down. Can't wait for them to sell the OG platter which costs $20 but it has everything in it (tacos quesadilla and broth) Can't really complain about the long wait and long line since were so used to it. This was worth it! TIP:If I were you, I would go there at 1000-1030 and just fall in line already. The marketplace opens at 1000. I wouldn't go at like 3pm seems like it'll get sold out at that time. THERES A LIMIT:You can only order 10 food items from their menu.We ordered 8 tacos and 2 quesadilla. You can order whatever you like as long as it doesn't reach more than 10 (for example: 5 tacos and 5 quesadilla)

First of all, let me tell you.. I wanted for 2 1/2 hours in line for these tacos. LolThe service took forever. I noticed while i was waiting the cashier would take one order after one order came out. Which i found it really odd. Not a very efficient. I order the quesataco dorado which was $4.50 a piece which i feel like it could be cheaper by a dollar. I would say. And i also got the consome which is $4.00 a cup. For broth, i would think it would be a little bit cheaper as well. I did get the guava limeade which was bomb asf! It did cost $6 but hey it was bomb asf so i don't mind paying $6 again for another drink. Let me talk about these tacoooooos. It's missing a wow factor. Like when i bite into it, it's missing some seasoning. It needed that umph especially when i waited in that long ass line. The consome broth as well needed some seasoning. That's all i gotta say about the broth.Would i come back? Yes if their service was faster. And especially for the drinks.
