Tienda del Sol — Restaurant in Hawaii

Driving by and stumbled on this place. Got really excited to find a hole in the wall Mexican spot but, wow, this was bad.

It's a very tiny little place where they prepare the food behind a makeshift wall. There doesn't seem to be a full kitchen or stove top. Made me nervous as I walked in but I saw lots of positive reviews and thought it couldn't be all that bad. While I was waiting, I heard a hum that sounded very much like a microwave. The lady brought out my food about 20 seconds after that hum stopped. Total wait time was less than five minutes. Concerningly fast and obviously everything is precooked.

The taco was at least edible but the burrito was not. Took one bite and tossed the rest. It was oddly luke warm and instantly made me think I was going to get sick. Pulled it apart and there was less than an ounce of meat; all filled with rice and lettuce (who puts lettuce in a burrito?). Had to pay $2 extra for cheese.

Looked back at all of the reviews. Over 100 but only 14 in the past two years.

That was extremely...

This place was amazing 4/5 years ago. It was really authentic abuelita made food using lard, right seasonings and correct proportions in their dishes.

Went there yesterday and not only it was huge let down, l spent a night on porcelain throne being sick.

Just awful. I had carne asada burrito and couple of tacos, and it was all just fillers (rice, lettuce, salsa) with very little meat and very little flavor.

Most any other Mexican food places will provide a much better experience.

I have eaten at plenty of great Mexican restaurants and taco trucks. This is not one of them stay away! Food is heated in microwave, look at the picture of my chicken quesadilla No Crispness to it, soggy limp tasteless! My fish taco and chicken taco was same, microwaved and tasteless! Food came out fast and anyone who knows good Mexican food takes a bit to cook fresh.

Go to Jazzys kitchen food truck in makena, way way better and cheaper. Jazzys got killer Tortas and tacos, enchiladas, veggie tacos...
