Da Seafood Cartel

This restaurant is absolutely incredible!! there’s truly nothing else like it in Hawaii. From the freshness of the ingredients to the way every dish is seasoned to perfection, you can tell they care about quality in every single detail. The flavors are authentic, vibrant, and delicious. It’s like being transported straight to the coast of Sonora. The service is also outstanding and super friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Seriously, don’t miss out on this spot. It’s a must-try We came back three times in my 1 week visit to Hawaii, we even made a quick stop before going to the airport.

Service and food were great. I haven't had tacos this good since I moved out of the Dallas area. So good!

Da seafood cartel reminds me of a place you would find in Baja California. (Specifically Rosarito). There are so many different mariscos varieties and I have yet to try them all. Their tostadas to their cocktails are amazing. Their citrus forward flavors take me back to home. I ordered the fish taco and da original ceviche. The taco was huge and was basically two tacos. The tostada was so flavorful and hit all of the flavors one would ask for when eating ceviche. Da seafood cartel is a must try.

BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON ISLAND! Da Seafood Cartel was recommended to me by a few locals, and it did not disappoint. The finger licking deliciousness is not only affordable, but incredibly juicy and punching with flavor. We ordered the Taco Cabo, Steak Quesadilla, and Steak tacos... INCREDIBLE! We also ordered the chips and salsa, but we weren't the biggest fans of the tortilla chips. They were too thick for our liking. There is great outside seating with covering, and blast awesome + fun music. The food came out quickly and service was good!

Family went to Da Seafood Cartel for lunch and the food was outstanding! I ordered fish and shrimp tacos and spouse had the beef taco. Staff was friendly and pleasant. Get there early because tables fill up fast.

Wow. Just got off the plane and needed some food before going to Pearl Harbor. Taco Chando was the best taco I’ve had in years. I kept wondering if they put some kalua pig in with the marlin and then found out they smoke the marlin. So good. The other foods were great too. I like the salsa with the chips.

An old gasoline store converted into a cafe with covered patio seating. Mexican cooking meets island fish. Delicious! Ceviche was tasty. Crab dip was fantastic. The tacos were good (both fish and steak). The guacamole dip was cool and refreshing. The nearby traffic was loud, though the cafe tried to compensate with thematic music. The waiting staff were polite.

Went with a group of friends for dinner. It was really good and I had some leftovers so they even gave me a new tostada to enjoy with my leftovers. Tostada de atun - 5/5 Delicious! Very well seasoned. Tostada la basta - 5/5 Also very good and is a lot of food. It had a variety of seafood and can be shared with 2 people Steak Taco - 4/5 Solid steak taco Taco Cabo - 3/5 This one was heavy with the cheese but it was a bit too much for me; my friend got this one and loved it!
