Taco Invader

Excellent Tijuana Tacos, I would say the BEST Tacos I've ever eaten!! Highly recommended, and a great price, t o boot!!

Dinner in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii...This food truck experience reminds me of the times my Los Angeles friends and I stood on the sidewalks and ate tacos in the chilly weather... brrr!!! Eating tacos in Honolulu is much better because of the weather. Even though it's January, we have wonderful 70°F temperature at 8pm!**********Located at Howzit Brewery, Taco Invader is currently open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday, and select Fridays. Check their Instagram page for the exact schedule and specials.I was fortunate to visit on Taco Tuesday when tacos are only $3.50. I got the Adobada (marinated pork) on a 6 inch corn tortilla which was stuffed! I especially liked the grilled, smokey flavor and pickled veggie topping! Super delicious!I also got a watermelon agua fresca because the horchata was sold out. Another item that was sold out was the vegan chorizo Taco made from mushrooms!I'll have to return for it and also get the carne asada and chicken tacos next time!Note: there's indoor, open-air seating as well as outdoor picnic table style seats. I started out at the picnic tables, but it was too dark to take photos. I moved indoors, but it was crowded and noisy at first. Later, some people left and I got a seat by the entrance. It was a bit warm, so I sat near the fan.Service is very friendly and helpful! When my order was taken, I was asked my name so that they could call out when my orderwas ready. I said, "Hello Kitty". The two guys smiled and laughed. They didn't get to call out "Hello Kitty" because they brought my meal to me!!! Thank you!When I was leaving, they said, "Thank you, Hello Kitty!" Haha!You're very welcome! See you soon!P.S. this business started in October 2024. It used to have long lines with maybe 30 people... uhg! I'm glad that I didn't have a wait like that!

As an LA native, I can confidently say that these are THE best tacos on island. the meats are very well prepared, and the sauces are on point.For someone who doesn't eat pork, I feel in absolutely LOVE with the Adobada tacos.give this place a try- you wont be disappointed!

This amazing vendor is located in the Kakaako area right across fishscake. Look for the baby blue building with a beer joint. The tacos themselves are so bomb. It's very street taco energy, the tacos are FILLED and the don't skimp. What I love most is that there's a plethora of hot saucers for you to add to your tacos. Not just 3, but more than that to fit any spice level. What's crazy is that out of all the tacos that were filled with meat, my fav was the chorizo mushroom. I know chorizo is meat but it was grilled mushrooms flavored with chorizo spices. SO ONO. Service is great. The owner, cooks, and cashier are so high energy and are totally open to any questions you have. My only recommendation is that they open earlier like for lunch cuz I'd drive my booty down there for a quick taco during my lunch break haha! Overall, great vibes but most importantly great food. Well done!

Seriously one of the best taco trucks I've ever tasted. Being from LA, I've tried a ton of food trucks, but this one was the best! Gilbert, the owner, makes his tacos Tijuana-style, and it's so delicious and flavorful. His taco place is next to Howz-it brewery, which is perfect to just grab a drink and eat some tasty tacos. I'm also obsessed with homemade sauce he uses for the tacos - it gives it a great kick! I can't wait to come back to Hawaii just eat the tacos again. Don't miss out!

So glad there are Tijuana-style tacos on the island! Great ambiance, street vendor style like in California, and generous service. Tacos are tasty and got a kick in spice!

Taco Invader is a dream come true for taco lovers! My husband and I are serious taco enthusiasts, and we've tried every taco spot across Hawaii, but nothing compares to Taco Invader! Every visit, we happily order 8+ carne asada tacos because we're OBSESSED - they're bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious! We also love the adobado tacos, carnitas, and honestly, the entire menu is incredible. Every bite is a flavor explosion! We're so thrilled they've opened in Kaka'ako, and we can't wait to keep coming back. If you love tacos, you HAVE to try this place - it's seriously the best on the island! Trust me!!!!!

Love coming to Taco Invader every week with my friend for authentic taco plates and quesadilla! Love the adobada tacos plate! The service is very friendly and the guys preparing the food are always welcoming! I love the pop-up at Howzit brewery!

Great tacos and good vibes. The Adobada Quesadilla is a must. Definitely a local favorite. Taco Invader never disappoints. The team is always super friendly.

My husband and I visited this place because of all the good reviews and instagram videos we had seen of the food. Let me just say, why are you all lying? We ordered carne asada (which they charge +$1 for per taco), adobada and chicken. All three meats were just chewy pieces, lack of seasoning and unedible. Horchata was absolutely delicious I must say and it's probably the only good thing they have. Rice and beans were average. We ordered four adobada tacos and all four had completely burnt black parts that could not be eaten; I felt scammed. I wouldn't even feed that to a homeless. And also, the wait was very long and there was not a lot of people. Horrible experience.
