K-Mex HI

K-Mex was one of the few restaurants open on Fourth of July, and I'm glad I discovered this spot! They're located on Kawaihao Street next to other small businesses. I think there were a few parking stalls. I placed an online order and walked to pick it up. There was some seating inside. The lady working was friendly and helpful. They have Korean-Mexican inspired dishes. I got the bulgogi burrito and the jackfruit torta. The bulgogi burrito was very hefty, and the bulgogi was super flavorful. I had no clue what a torta was, but it was basically a sandwich with lettuce and jackfruit. I rarely have jackfruit, but it was really juicy and tasty. I really liked the food here and their unique twist on Mexican food. I will definitely be back to try more of their items!

Cute little taco place nestled between a couple buildings off to the back end. They have a "double parking " lot which means if you leave before the person parked behind you then you need to wait or hope they move for you. We got lucky because it was only take out/pick up orders so nobody stayed parked behind us for long. There is also street parking.I had 3 tacos and did 2 chicken and 1 beef. They have several sauces to choose from that range from hot to hotter imo lol...a Tapatio and some other brands. Mine actually tasted great without it. The restaurant has a few tables, a couple fish tanks, flat screen tvs and just an overall cute vibe. Everything looked clean.

Finally got to try this place.We came with the last 40mins open so they were out of queso and beans.We placed an order ofChicken bowl - fiance was pleasantly surprised how good the chicken was. He was also really happy he added the veggies. He said he'll pass on the guac next time.Spicy pork burrito- friend enjoyed it!Spicy pork bowl- very filling and my friend had leftoversSteak burrito- I enjoyed it but definitely felt it needed the beans to be more complete.Cute place, had several tables inside for seating. Will be back to try the spicy pork !

Firstly, I am a recent convert to lactose-ovo vegetarianism. The majority of food establishments offer limited options for vegetarians , let alone vegans, and K-Mex HI isn't any different in this regard.Located on Kawaihao Street and Ward Avenue...not sure where you park. They are inside a small driveway...but they do have signs up. Open for a little over a year. I got takeout, there is a small dining area, by ordering online. On time...actually got a notification a few minutes before my scheduled pickup time.I had the mixed vegetables bowl. They offer options Mexican rice...pinto or spicy black beans...kimchi salsa...cheese...one can also select to not include those options.A bit disappointed as I do not care for bell peppers unless they are cooked well-done. Too crunchy and too many peppers. Offered a side container of hot sauce...and it was hot.They also offer jackfruit as a substitute for animal protein...and I will try that option on my next visit. I've had jackfruit tacos before and they are okay.K-Mex...can't say it doesn't make sense, especially since cheese is incorporated into many Korean street foods.

Been there twice. I remember the first time going there their carne asada was delicious. But the second time around it was just OK. My husband enjoyed their spicy pork and it was pretty flavorful although I thought it's a bit too sweet, same as their bulgogi. The service was very friendly and you order at the counter. They made our food fresh so it's worth the wait. It's a small mom and pop shop with just a few tables. We were the only table in the restaurant on a weekday for lunch. It's located at the part of queen street that is not paved well with pot holes and without a sidewalk, also not much parking, so that could make driving and walking there a bit tricky.

Been walking past their sign on the way to other stores and restaurants on the same street, and finally stopped in with a friend to grab lunch. So glad we finally did - I enjoyed Korean Mexican fusion more than the food truck closer to our work, and the prices were better! I'm not a fan of spicy foods so I asked them to hold the kimchi salsa in my street tacos, and opted to add sour cream and guacamole for extra. These babies were packed with meat and flavor - I got Spicy Pork Bulgogi, Beef Bulgogi and Mojo Chicken (fourth meat choice is Carne Asada Steak, which would be a buck extra). For vegetarians, they gave jackfruit tinga and grilled veggies. Will definitely be back, and will try to save room for the Korean desserts in place owned by the owner's mom in front!

Felt like having Mexican food which doesn't happen very often. Decided to try this 4.45star place from Yelp. I ordered the carne asada burrito and can't say I was impressed by the flavor. Some pieces of the beef was dry and hard. The burrito was on the dry side also. I mean if I compared it to Maui Taco's. You can find better.

Breakfast in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii...This was my first meal of the day at 10:15am, so - technically, it's Breakfast!I actually wanted to visit Waba Snacks, which is in the front of the property. The Waba Snacks staff told me to come back in about 20 minutes because the machine wasn't ready yet. The young man at the front handed me a takeout menu for K-Mex HI and showed me how to get to K-Mex HI through their back door... cool! The two businesses are associated with each other!K-Mex HI is a quiet, clean, trendy spot with Instagram opportunities. The two big screen TVs and the condiment bar keep customers entertained. There's an air conditioning unit and a ceiling fan that circulates the cool air sufficiently. Service was on the brisk, but efficient side. Interaction was something like this:Me: I'd like to get the bowl with the kimchi salsa on the side.Gal: choose a protein Me: beef bulgogi Gal: pinto or black beans?Me: blackGal: Here or To go?Me: here(She told me the total price.)Me: (looking at the refrigerator to my left) May I add on? A tamarind... no... a watermelon?Gal: (not smiling) (gave me the total)I took a seat and snapped a few photos. She brought my bowl to me and told me that the bottle opener was on the wall and pointed. Alright!My bowl was OK. I detected some spice in maybe the Spanish rice? I tried some kimchi salsa - yup - a bit spicy for me. The bulgogi, cheese, onions, sour cream drizzle, and beans were average. The watermelon Jarritos was refreshing!I was lucky to get a parking space on the street. This is a rather industrial area with limited parking. I'd return if there was an empty parking spot. I didn't want to park in front of Waba Snacks... other customers might need to park there...As I was placing my glass bottle in the recycling bin, the gal asked how everything was. She even said, "Have a nice day!" Thank you!

Was craving Mexican and my fiancé found this place on maps.Walked in and it looked like we were some of the first customers. Plenty of seating, very clean and spacious. I ordered the Bulgogi Burrito (no beans). My fiancé ordered the carne asada tacos.The food came out fairly quickly. The owners are very nice, chatted with us for a bit and even gave us some complimentary chips and fresh made guacamole - so delicious. Everything was great! The burrito was huge! Bigger than my water bottle, and I really liked the flavors of the bulgogi inside the burrito with the kimchi salsa and rice. Try the green habanero sauce - it's amazing, not too spicy and compliments the sweetness of the bulgogi well. I've always really loved Korean and Mexican fusion (it's been popular where i come from in southern california for well over a decade). this restaurant is no exception. Exciting flavors presented beautifully.Will definitely be back!!

Every time I've been here, the food is amazing & the service is friendly! I love going during football season too as they always have games on two large tv screens! We love the spicy pork burritos but honestly everything is so tasty. I want to try a torta but always end up purchasing a burrito!! My family is always so happy with the food from here and the must have is the Korean hot sauce!!
