North Shore Tacos has two locations on Kamehameha Highway in Oahu. Our sit-down restaurant with drive-thru is in Hauʻula on the Windward Coast (54-296 Kam Hwy), and our walk-up food truck is across from Sharks Cove in Pupukea (59-712 Kam Hwy).
What makes North Shore Tacos different from other Oahu Mexican restaurants?
+
Three things — fresh fish sourced locally from Oahu fishermen daily (never frozen); our proprietary Surf Sauce recipe that founder Joey Fullmer brought back from Baja in 2010; and made-to-order preparation at every shift. Voted #1 Fish Tacos in Hawaii by Sunset Magazine.
What are your hours of operation?
+
Our Hau'ula restaurant is open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The Sharks Cove food truck is open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Hours may vary seasonally.
Is your fish really caught fresh daily?
+
We use locally caught fish that's never been frozen. Every taco is made to order with scratch-made salsas, fresh toppings, and our signature Surf Sauce - a recipe inspired by Joey's Baja surf trips.
Do you have gluten-free or vegetarian options?
+
Yes! We offer a vegetarian filling option with all our plates, and our corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free. We're happy to customize any order to accommodate dietary needs.
Do you offer catering for events?

Absolutely! We cater beach parties, weddings, luaus, corporate events, and private gatherings of all sizes. Our food truck can also be booked for on-site catering. Contact us for custom packages.

We don't run our own delivery service — but you have three easy ways to get our food: dine in at the Hauʻula restaurant (indoor + outdoor seating), grab-and-go through the Hauʻula drive-thru, or walk up to the Sharks Cove food truck. You can also order ahead online for pickup at the Hauʻula location.
How much do tacos cost — is North Shore Tacos expensive?
+
Plate combos run $12.42–$17.29 depending on the filling (vegetarian is the most affordable; fresh fish, shrimp, and steak top out at $17.29). Single tacos start at $6.69, the Keiki (kids) menu starts at $4.78, and a typical bill for two people with drinks lands around $35–45.
