Thyda's Tacos

"Walked over an hour to get here but it was worth it. They were super friendly. The burrito was big and delicious! A great price too. Definitely delicious Mexican food!"

"TLDR: 10/10 recommend the Carne Asada burrito and Carne Asada Quesadilla. Wanted to wait until I was able to visit a few times before making a review. But this place has some of the best burritos in town. 10/10 would recommend if visiting from the west coast and wanting that authentic style burritos. Also they have great homemade salsas to choose from that pair very well with each dish. Also highly recommend the quesadillas if you aren’t in the mood for a burrito. Parking: I recommend parking in the Whole Foods parking lot and walking across the street."

"On the eternal search for good Mexican food on island, I had heard about Thyda's and even passed it by many times on my way to Whole Foods Queen or to work, but it never seemed to be open or the right time to go. I finally got the chance by serendipity when I had a free lunch hour and was headed to WF for some grocery shopping. WF seems to be the best choice for parking (if you're going to shop there anyway) since there is maybe 2 parking spots in front of this tiny taco stand on Queen Street across from the WF parking garage entrance. While I was there, they told a guy in a truck he could park in the driveway of the tint shop next to it - guessing they have a deal with the owner for quick parking? This place does a brisk business, so you'll want to scope out the large menu on the wall of the building before going up to the stand and ordering. Your choices are Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas and Rice Bowls with Carne Asada, Carne Pollo, Carnitas, Barbacoa, Lengua and Jack Fruit as your protein. I wasn't that hungry (but couldn't resist the opportunity to stop at the stand and try it) so just got 2 tacos - Lengua and Carne Pollo. After ordering, I heard someone ordering horchata, so I went back and ordered that - other drink choices are water, sodas (in the coolers, check them for selection), bottled Jarritos sodas, and Agua Fresca. There were several people ahead of me, as well as some pickup orders, but my order came fairly quickly. I was at first shocked at small two tacos for $10 ($5 each) looked - but they are standard street taco size, and the fillings are sizable. More importantly, THEY ARE WORTH EVERY BITE - especially that Lengua, it's hands down the best Lengua on Oahu. I would pay more for that Lengua, seriously so good. I didn't care for the horchata but that's my own taste preference - tasted different than other horchata I've had at other places on island or even my own when I make it, so maybe they use or add something else? Will try the Agua Fresca next time - I will be back!!"

"THE BEST GRILLED BURRITO EVER. Even better than my own I make at home, and that is SAYING SOMETHING BIG!! Got the carne asada burrito with guacamole X2, it was absolute perfection, the crunchy outside made the textures wonderful, and definitely worth every single bite. Plus the salsas are actually spicy and flavorful!! 12/10 because they surpassed all my expectations and will definitely be back around."

"3 people working at the food truck. And I see another person working inside the kitchen/building. They get slammed during lunch time it’s very popular but you will have a very very long wait to get your food. It’s best to avoid the lunch rush hour. I had the steak tacos (good), carnitas (great), and barbacoa (great). The hot sauce: green is mild, red is medium, orange is hot. Unfortunately no horchata. It’s directly across from Whole Foods. I enjoyed getting tacos to go here and then getting a drink at Whole Foods and sit at the whole foods table to enjoy the tacos. After that get a delicious donut at holy grail next to Whole Foods. Great experience, very good tacos, but I will continue my search for the best Mexican food on the island."
