My husband and I loved this restaurant! Some friends of ours local to the island took us there and after that we ate there every day for the remainder of our time on the island! I have never had better Mexican food in my life and we live in New Mexico so that says a lot! The best margaritas I have had..they were perfect! We are seriously trying to figure out how to get some of your food shipped stateside! Lol Send tamales! ��� Seriously though, if you have the opportunity, go have at least one meal there and you will not regret it!
First time trying this place and it didn’t disappoint. After about a 15-20 minute wait we were seated indoors. The service was quick and efficient. The checked back often to see if we needed or wanted anything. Best margarita ever! Best Chile verde too. Our enchiladas we delicious. I will definitely return and recommend .
I am from Texas and coming to this retaurant was my top priority to compare Hawaii style Mexican food to Texas style! I was not dissapointed at all! The salsa was at the right level of heat for me and the food was amazing. I even sent pics back home to San Antonio to rave! My Patron margarita on the rocks topped everything off! Nicely done Cholo's Mexican Homestyle Restaurant!
Excellent service, excellent food and the best 1800 Cadillac Margaritas!
Thus place was highly recommended and wasnt disappointed in the least. The tacos were so tenderlicious. Will be back again ;)
I thought the food was great.good salsa,the fish tacos were awesome.highly recommend it

The best margarita drink ever every time we are in Haleiwa and right after a 7miles hike at Mokuleia Forrest Reserve hiking trail.
Everything is quite dear, but a welcoming, colourful ambiance that is convenable for families & groups of friends, along with smaller parties. We were most recently there on a Sunday evening and were seated immediately.
Food is decently good for island-made Mexican cuisine.
Drinks are large & strong. There is a notable selection of tequila, along with some mezcals. My Margarita was delicious — the mixer base is made by a local juice company.
Helpful and unobtrusive service.
Great little Mexican style restaurant, not Mexican but Mexican like. This is not a bad thing, as the shredded beef Chimichanga plate was delicious. It consisted of shredded beef mixed with a bean paste and was delicious. Its portion was plenty along with the on the side portions of quacamole and sour cream.
There was no heat in the flavors, but it still had a full rounded flavor, and the same for the quacamole. The beans and rice were standard fare, not too runny and not too dry.
Overall, a great meal for the price.
In addition, our waitress was friendly, attentive but not obtrusive with a good knowledge of the area.
Very chill and vibrant place. Good food. Giant portions. I loved the tamales. Had one of their specialty margaritas. Music isn't too loud. It's a nice mild temp.
Just did drinks and some chips and salsa (unlimited for $3!), but dang it was good. Some of the best salsa I've ever had, we got some to go. Vibe was perfect and location is nestled between local shops making it a great stop as you browse. We'll be back for the salsa alone... Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!
Great location! Big variety of food and drinks. Portions are big! My pina colada was really tasty. Margaritas are excellent! Lots of beautiful plants, trees and flowers around. Prices are good, too. The staff is friendly. Definitely recommend!
Decent Mexican food. Not sure how it compares to the rest of Oahu as it’s the only one I tried.
Service was good and the portions were huge. They give chips and salsa free of charge before your meal and this salsa was soooo good. I would I bought some, but I don’t think I’d be able to bring it back to Canada and have it stay fresh.
My boyfriend ordered the chicken enchilada, and I thought the chicken was pretty good and moist. On the other hand, the fish taco that I ordered was very dry and bland tasting, despite all the good reviews of it.
Overall, I’d recommend it to others and I’d come back and try something else.
Had an amazing experience here. We came up from Wahiawa where our local taqueria has spoiled us and we weren't expecting to be so impressed. The service here was top notch and the food was amazing. I got the carne asada burrito plate and my wife got the loaded quesadilla. Infinite chips/salsa is $3. You know the Mexican place is going to be good when all the beers come with lime and they bring out two types of hot sauce to your table without you having to ask!
I'll be back!
Never disappoints (well technically they did because they ran out of Horchata) but food is always good, service is quick and friendly.
1st visit pleasant surprise! was not on google map and discovered inside mini mall back lot! good service and excellent food - chips salsa quality is always an indicator of a good mexican restaurant- warm chips and spicy salsa one level sets the expectations- ahi 🐠 fish tacos- grilled fresh not deep fried is excellent! petron tequila margarita house is so good well balance with food - salsa and fish 🐠 tacos - highly recommend to find ! busy busy- we respect servers been busy and making a living with pandemic - all was good no rush - staff all attentive
Great spot for a night of margaritas and drinks, strong and large, ambiance is great and usually it's pretty hopping.
Food is pretty good, not the best Mexican 🌮 but it hits the spot.
The blue Hawaii fishbowl is awesome. 🍹
A must when on The Island! Hadn’t been here in about 10 years, salsa still tastes great! Wonderful vibe and decorations inside and out. We went for lunch got seated right away, asked if we wanted chips n salsa for 4 bucks… Yes Please ! Got an extra bowl after we finished the first one;). Fish tacos were fresh and great tasting. Love their logo, so we bought shirts and hats.
Good food, good cocktails, lovely decor, and good service. What more could anyone ask for? I always enjoy dining at Cholo's and brought my mom here during her visit to the island. She loved the restaurant as well.
Margaritas were good, my friends said tamales were delicious, I wish they have a vegetarian tamal or taquitos dorados…
What the hell is Mezquila btw? I ordered Mezcal Margarita I didn’t get that.
Chile relleno was delicious, Quesadilla was alright, ok bye. I’ll be back.
Great service! Super friendly, quick, and enthusiastic service. Food was good, standard Mexican Americano type fare. Fun location. Great drinks! They worked hard to get our large group in quickly. Vegetarian and vegan options. If you ever find yourself on the North Shore, stop in for some margaritas and nachos. Good stuff!
