Island Taco is the perfect lunch spot en route to Waimea Canyon. Located on the south side of Kauai, about 30 minutes from Waimea Canyon, island taco has great food and fast and friendly service. Lots of gluten free and vegan options that are safe for celiac! The woman at Island Taco was extremely knowledgeable about gluten cross-contamination and she directed me on how to order so as to be safe! I ordered the mahi mahi tacos on corn tortillas with salsa and refried beans instead of chips (the chips are fried in a fryer with gluten). The tacos were delicious, flavorful, and loaded with cabbage, rice, and mahi! The refried beans were flavorful and creamy. Delicious and satisfying lunch before a day of hiking! My two friends ordered the tofu burritos which were delicious! My one friend is vegan and was happy that the tofu and beans and rice were all vegan! With fast and friendly service, it was so refreshing to eat at a spot that was so understanding of dietary restrictions. There are covered picnic tables outside, so you can enjoy your tacos in the island breeze. Highly recommend Island Taco!

Staff was helpful and menu was clearly listed for gluten free items that didn’t include cross contamination issues.

Their “gluten free” options not safe for celiacs. 2 stars as most people in the party enjoyed the taste, but the celiac one got quite sick after eating here a “gluten free” dinner.

I come to Halani every time I’m in Hawaii. Their whole Kona kanpachi is one of my favorite things I’ve ever eaten. This restaurant is so considerate of dietary restrictions. Their whole menu can be made gluten free, and they have a separate menu for vegans with great options. Their cocktails are also delicious, and the vibe is great. Our server Angie was so sweet and attentive to our party’s dietary restrictions. We loved the live musician and hula dancer as well!

Friend invited me for lunch, and I am now addicted to these sandwiches. Purchased a whole pita falafel for $20 with all sauces offered. Filled pita with veggies and multiple sauces made for a filling Saturday lunch. Family run business. Very sweet people. Offer gluten-free pita for $2 more. Definitely worth it. Everything made fresh and quickly. I've already promoted to more friends to meet me there for lunch next week. We ate at open air picnic tables at farmers market.
