Big portions and bold Mexican flavors at SI!SI!TACO'S

What public feedback says

SI!SI!TACO'S holds a 4.9 Google rating from 95 reviews, with public feedback repeatedly emphasizing three strengths: generous portions, satisfying Mexican flavors and notably kind service. Diners describe the food as made from scratch and compare it favorably with Mexican cooking they have enjoyed on the mainland. Several also frame it as a strong local option for feeding a group without compromising on quality.

The praise is enthusiastic, but the practical details matter just as much. This appears to be a casual outdoor operation rather than a conventional sit-down restaurant. Covered seating gives customers somewhere to eat when Keaau’s weather turns wet, while the informal setup keeps the focus on the food.

What to order

Burritos receive some of the clearest approval. One reviewer called theirs the best burrito they had eaten on the Big Island, highlighting both its size and value. The comments suggest these are substantial meals rather than light snacks, making them a sensible choice for a large appetite.

Another review specifically recommends the meat plate with carne asada and birria. Both meats left that diner satisfied, and the accompanying consommé also earned praise. Across the feedback, reviewers consistently use words such as tasty, authentic and delicious, though the available sample does not provide enough detail to compare every filling or preparation.

Complimentary pickled onions, carrots, red salsa and green salsa are another welcome touch. They give diners several ways to add acidity, crunch or heat and reinforce the sense that the meal is designed to be customized at the table.

Value and service

The listed price level is mid range, while reviewers frequently describe the portions and overall value as especially favorable. The combination of large burritos, sizable plates and complimentary condiments appears to make the cost feel reasonable, particularly for customers ordering for multiple people.

Service is another recurring advantage. Reviewers characterize the staff as kind and exceptionally helpful. One customer called ahead and received an estimated preparation time, showing that advance ordering may be possible. That order reportedly took longer than expected, however, so callers should treat quoted timing as an estimate rather than a guarantee.

Before making the trip

Availability is the main caution. One repeat customer reports that SI!SI!TACO'S operates only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with daytime hours, and warns that popular items can run out. Current opening times should be confirmed before traveling, especially from another part of the island.

Taken together, the public ratings and reviews point to a focused, well-liked Keaau stop for hearty Mexican food. It is best approached with an appetite, some flexibility on timing and an early arrival when possible.
