Reviews for Patricio's Taqueria in Kailua-Kona, HI
I ordered the pork tamales and they were just average. They have a "limit one" refill policy and no public restrooms. Seating is... tight and it is difficult to get a party of more than four seated together. We also ordered a $7 chips and salsa withoutrealizing that two small cups of salsa were included with each entree. It would have been nice if this was spelled out by thecashier when we placed the order. Additionally, tortilla chips are a low cost item that typically uses leftover or staletortillas. When you are paying $13 for food served on a paper plate they should be complementary. Read more
Order at the counter Mexican spot. The food here is consistently good. Personal favorites are the veggie nachos and veggie... chimichanga. The rice has great flavor as well! I personally like the horchata, but I?ve had two friends both not care for itsaying it doesn?t taste like true Horchata. Maybe I don?t know what it?s supposed to be like, but I think it?s yummy!

Great place for some great Mexican food. The tacos were absolutely delicious, as well as the mango slushee. Restaurant was clean... and the staff was very friendly. Well worth a stop by when you?re in town. Read more
My family moved from California to Hawaii about a year ago and just about gave up on Mexican food here on the Island. Our kids... were in tears of how good the burritos are and brought joy to know we have bit of comfort food from home. Hands down the best!Thank you! We are hooked. Read more
Amazing legit Mexican food (lived in LA for a decade, I know good Mexican when I eat it.) Great chili verde burritos, friendly... staff. I go pretty much weekly when I crave it. Homemade hot sauce is legit too. Read more
I found the food rather bland and uninteresting. I had the ?Pollo Mexicano Burrito? which is supposed to have ?Mexican Spices?,... but it didn?t have mmuch or any this time. Otherwise, the place is clean and nice to sit down and eat, and the selection is wideand not expensive. Read more
Lots of menu options and the veggie bowl was ok. The two star review is due to very poor customer service (not greeted, given... incorrect info, overall in restaurant experience, and mostly for a rude and unprofessional email I received after trying toprovide feedback privately via email before posting on a public platform). The owner is not at all interested in feedback. Theburrito and bowls were both small for the price. The burrito had little flavor. The side of rice and beans were also small andvery little flavor. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not return. Read more
I've had Mexican food in Mexico, Baja, Southern California (where i'm from) and many other locales. There are a number of... options in Kona but Patricios is possible the best mexican restaurant in Kona. While their food is good it's not at the pinnacleof Mexican cuisine. I have probably eaten here 20+ times over the years. I really like how they have interesting real mexicancuisine options like pozole (soup), mole, and sopas. This is rad for a fast casual restaurant. Their drink options are greatwith a regular stock of horchata and plenty of canned alcoholic options as well as frozenmargaritas. Favorites: Chimichanga Chile Relleno Burrito Horchata The speed of service is good and the dining space is fine.This is a good Kona vegetarian restaurant option as they can do many of their burritos and other things with beans and veggiesinstead of the meat option.
