South Shore Grill Reviews
“Come for one reason, the food; which is quick, affordable, and decidedly gourmet…You’ll need a nap after this.”Honolulu Magazine
Pretty phenomenal tacos and burritos. I'm seriously amazed at how simple the food is and yet each bite delivers a dynamic range of flavors. Their secret sauce is their slaw which has the perfect amount of dressing which keeps the experience fresh and juicy. Great quality ingredients, I've never left this place unhappy.

Taco Tuesday is all I can say. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. And more awesome. Delicious chicken tacos- they are big, filling, and delicious.

We stumbled upon this heavenly 5 star restaurant on Accident and found out they have some of the BEST food. Always get the Cajun fries and ALWAYS get the aioli sauce for the fries. They have something for everyone. 10/10 Best place to get a quick bite in Honolulu.

Amazing food, best we had in this trip so far. We like little local restaurants and this was just perfect we found it by chance when we were walking back to our hotel from our Diamond Head hike. I had the mixed plate and my husband had the chicken burrito and spicy fries and everything was delicious perfection. Atmosphere is very simple and unique. Highly recommended.

Great, locally-owned taco joint at the foot of Diamond Head and short walk from Waikiki. Tacos are always on-point. It is a bit cramped inside, so you have to scrap for a seat and shouldn't plan to linger. Tip of the hat for them offering a restroom.

Yes! Really good Ono fish burritos! I’ll be coming back for sure. Gravy fries pretty amazing too 🤙🏻

Best fish tacos you could ever have! Tuna mac salad goes great with it. It's a must come to, everytime we are in Hawaii.

Best fish tacos, hands down!! Went to a couple places on Oahu, including the North Shore, while on vacation and this is the only place i went back to multiple times. Fish tacos are killer, and the Slaw and Mac sides are also delish.

Delicious and fresh food; reasonably priced the right way. There was seating in the back under some AC which was a nice break from our hike.

My favorite taco joint on the island by far. Get their tuna mac and fish taco plate. Also try the sauces. The mac pesto was astounding, as is their "taco sauce." Small, humble location with awesome taste.

Best fish tacos I think I've ever had!! The tuna mac salad wasn't bad, but I prefer my mac salad with a little more mayo so I'll probably get the fries next time. We also got the quesadilla and it was also tasty.

Call ahead and order because this place is popular for good reason. These tacos are fantastic! Fresh and delicious!

Really good food here, and also important for me and my family we were able to find free street parking. The prices were decent and food was really good! Seating was a little bit scarce but we were able to get the last table. The employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. I would definitely go back!

Best tacos and coleslaw I've had in my life! The chicken, fish, and shrimp tacos are all incredible and cooked to perfection. The chicken is tender, the fish is flaky, the slaw they put on top has a great crunch and is light so it doesn't take away from the rest of the flavors in the taco. I don't know what sauce they put on the tacos but it's delicious. $2.75 Taco Tuesdays. Get there early or deal with the huge line!

Tasty, fresh, delicious food! Reasonable Price! Awesome staff 😊. We walk 2 kilometers everyday from our Hotel to have our dinner here. We Love their Ono's (Taco, Burrito, Burger, Plate with Pesto sauce ). Their home made brownies and sweets are also great! We wished to have a restaurant like this in Vancouver, BC.

Burgers were yummy. Garlic fries were good, and service was on point. Great after a jike at Diamond Head

Great spot for a lot of good Hawaiian inspired food for a good price. I ordered the mix plate and it was all very good and cost $16. This was one of the more expensive items. The tortilla for the taco was very nice and slightly crispy.

Fantastic fish tacos. Generous servings of fresh grilled fish with a tangy aioli sauce and light airy slaw. I had been previously on half price Taco Tuesday which was great but I think the options were a bit smaller then. I couldn't finish my three tacos this time! Very casual, so not really a date night kind of place but the food can't be best!

All the surf vibe feel one would want from a food place in Oahu. Friendly staff and food served on paper plates. Some of the best grilled meat options you'll find on island. From simple grilled fish with garlic butter marinade on a bed of rice and slaw to hefty chicken burritos this place is the perfect spot for an after surf meal on the south side.

Since I discovered this place a number of years ago it's my # 1 stop on my way home in the evening... cycling through the menu keeps the variety fresh! Simple/ delicious & as healthy as you want to make it.. Cheers!

Just the right size of burrito. And the Cajun ono burrito was delicious. Also loved the Cajun fries. Wish they were crispier but not enough to go down to 4 stars. Happy & friendly. Very casual atmosphere.

The south shore grill is great. Food was awesome - great price and good portions. Staff were very friendly.

If you're looking for excellent fish tacos (and maybe a bit more) this is your place. If you like casual...Small, but hopping, spot away from the crazy main strip of Waikiki (so you can walk off your lunch). VERY casual, quite small, but worth the wait (and the walk).

Best tacos in Honolulu! The beef taco is mouth watering, friendly service and no-frills ambience. 100% value for money!

Tacos tacos tacos. I wish I could eat more than just two or three. The kalbi tacos are great. Tender and juicy with flavor galore. The chicken and fish are probably close seconds. It's a popular place so don't be surprised if you see a pile of people out front. It's worth the wait. The service is prompt and friendly. Never a bad experience here.

It's a little out of the way and a whole in the wall type of joint but the food is AMAZING!!!! We loved it so much we came back again. The chips and salsa are a must get. The chips come out fresh and warm. This will be must when we come back again.

06:52 02 Mar 19
Surprisingly awesome! The gal behind the front counter took our order and was very friendly. My wife got a burger and I got the garlic shrimp plate. We also split an order of the Cajun fries. Everything tasted so good! They even had their own special sauce to dip the fries in. We got the huge size but could have probably done with the large for the fries. One dipping sauce wasn't enough. It was a fun environment and with great food in Hawaii you can't beat that.

Fish tacos are amazing. The burger and fries are also fantastic. This place will not disappoint at all. Just get two fish tacos to start because you're going to want another one.

We used to come here when we lived in the area. The last time we came, the setup was completely different. The good news is that the fish tacos are just as I remembered them to be, which is damn awesome. The better news is that their menu looked bigger and better, and their aioli that was given to us for our fries was incredible. South Shore Grill is one place that my wife and I mention when we reminisce about the days living in town. The staff is just as great as before. Love this place...

Been on the island for a year and in my opinion, best burger I had yet. Family enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere and my kiddo enjoyed drawing on the wall near the front while we ordered and waited. Wifey had her chicken and fish tacos and she enjoyed them both immensely. The aoli was really good as a dipping/spread for your food. You’ll have to look it up for yourself, but trust that it is great! Definitely a reason to return to the area.

Some of the best food I've had on the island and at a reasonable price. Staff was very polite, decent amount of seating and AC for those hot days.

Delicious fish tacos! Some of the best! I enjoyed the chicken club salad with macadamia nut pesto. Great local take on dishes! They serve a great variety of burgers, burritos, sandwiches, and salads. Everything looked delicious. The restaurant has a cool surf decor and it's closed on Sunday mornings for church. They have a couple little kids helping around the restaurant who help out. They're adorable! Much respect for family owned business!

Cajun Fries and garlic fries was good. Same thing, both had too much seasoning. But still good.Looking for a good spot near Waikiki came across this one, didn't miss really enjoyed our late night dinner went around 8pm there was a small line that moved up pretty fast the little in the cashier was great she knew what she was doing. The food was tasty and fresh. Definitely recommend while in Waikiki or around.

13:20 02 Sep 19
I got the fish taco for $4.50 and it is a very nice, overflowing taco. But the best part, it was absolutely delicious & extremely tasty. My other got the Cajun chicken burrito for $9.95 and all he could say is yum, yum, yum. Was recommended to this place by the Banan Food Truck worker and it did not disappoint. Will certainly be back to this little eating place gem!!

22:56 29 Aug 19
Really great fish tacos, they're huge and full of fresh Ono. I had the 2 tacos plate, it comes with rice, Mac salad and coleslaw. Their Mac salad and the slaw were also way above average. It's so much food I saved half for dinner! Great place not far from the beaches along Diamondhead.

Stopped in Tuesday on a whim and had chicken tacos. Great flavour and value for money. Young woman at the register was welcoming, kind, and extremely efficient. Highly recommend.

Food was amazing! One of the best fish tacos I've ever had! The shrimp burrito, amazing! Kal-bi burrito, amazing! The fries dipped in their aioli was amazing! Can't go wrong choosing them. A little off the beaten path but well worth it!

Recommended by diving instructor Alex and we are so glad we followed up and checked this place out. Best fish tacos I have ever tasted! Very friendly service and hoping to return before we leave.

One of my favorite taco places. Definitely not an "authentic" Mexican taco, but if Hawai'i had a version of a taco, it would be there fish taco. The chicken is my favorite. Light and cheap. Go on taco Tuesday with friends. BYOB. Go earlier, because the line and wait can get long. Highly rec.

Great place for taco Tuesday! All around nice little spot. Can get busy at times but everyone is friendly and shares tables and space. Love that they have mexican drinks and know how to make their tacos right!

Really amazing food. We were there on a rainy day and there was no line at all. The hot sauce at their condiment bar was phenomenal. It went great with the fish tacos. My friend had the shrimp burrito and loved it. Very big portions!

Amazing location and amazing food. Owner and chef did an a good job with our tacos. I would recommend to anyone before or after hitting diamond Head or even not in that area.

06:18 25 Jan 20
This place is fantastic and I don't say that often. Ono fish tacos might actually be as advertised: "best fish tacos in Honolulu." The tuna mac is the go-to side. Great spot after hiking diamond head. Go get it! You won't be disappointed.

18:38 19 Feb 20
Definitely the best shrimp burrito and fish tacos then I have been ever eaten . Such a perfect taste. High recommendation. And don’t forget to put their spicy sos . Enjoy!

The food was soooo delicious with quick service and the outside view to the Diamond head volcano was jaw dropping... so close you can almost touch it

This place is a local gem. The food and service are above and beyond what you find down at the beach. Do yourself a favor and take the trip away from the hotbed of over priced low quality resort area restaurants and get a meal that you will truly enjoy.

Would have eaten here from start of my trip. Chicken breast with garlic-- great portion of chicken. I do keto- it was worth getting good protein and little salad..loved it!!
Drew Andrews
22:02 01 Dec 20
Tacos are basically perfect. From the tortilla to the slaw, then you drip on some hot sauce (like a buffalo wings flavor). I recommend the chicken, but in order, shrimp, ono, kalbi, then veggie are all good.

00:41 18 Dec 20
I love that the owner still works at the restaurant, and his daughter can even be seen on her little ladder running the register. Food is amazing, my favorite and recommendation is the fish tacos and an order of cajun fries with their special aoli sauce. superb.

Really good food. The SSG mixed plate was solid. Their fish and shrimp tacos were also a must.

Literally everything I've ever eaten from this place is pure gold. I started out with the Ono Burrito and for a while never wanted to order anything else because I was worried it wouldn't live up to the deliciousness. Eventually I ventured out to other items (shrimp, kal-bi, tuna mac, etc) and DAMN was I proven wrong. You truly can't go wrong here. I could eat here every day and never get sick of it.

Wow, their Kalbi taco was so delicious. A touch too much sauce for me (lots of stuff dripping out of the taco), but it was so good! Reasonably priced as well.

Probably the best fish tacos I've ever had, great fries and don't forget the aioli sauce.

05:35 06 Apr 21
Honestly top 3 best fish tacos I've had! Anything here with Cajun seasoning is also to die for!Inside the restaurant is simple and has a great beach vibe. Taco Tuesdays usually have a discount on the taco price. But this does vary from time to time.

04:36 19 May 21
Great little food stop near Diamond Head! Quick service and such great tasting food! I was really impressed, it was exactly what I was looking for after spending time at Diamond Head crater. I had the two plate Cajun shrimp taco platter. Very tasty! And you get so much food! The inside is very small, I went when it wasnt crowded but can see how some may find it hard to get a place to sit. It is easy though to take your food to the nearest park or beach. Definitely a place I would stop at again.

This place is amazing. One of my must go to every time I come to Oahu. Their food is so fresh, so simple, and so delicious. They’re known for their tacos, and they’re tacos are in fact amazing. But most everything else on their menu is dynamite!I’ve never had to wait for more that 15 minutes even during very busy lunch times. Bring your family, friends, but more importantly, bring an empty stomach! You won’t be disappointed.
John Ebert
02:16 28 Jun 21
Super hungry when we got there. I chose the grilled chicken box. The salad coming with it was decent, the mac and cheese very tasty and the chicken well seasoned. Would give 4.5 if I could because the chicken was a bit overdone, but it was too good for a 4.
Henning Langer

Tacos! Delicious fish tacos… but it’s the season for pumpkin crunch! It beats a pumpkin pie for your holiday dinner! 10 outta 10 would recommend +++

Just got the Cajun Ono plate, so good! The fish was cooked perfectly, the seasoning had great flavor (got the sesame sauce), and the sides were light but flavorful. Cannot dine in, but easy side Street parking. I may go back before I leave!

If you are looking for some delicious food from a local spot look no further! Staff is super friendly and food was delicious!!! my fav was the short rib burrito!

Pricing for this place is quite good especially once you try the food. I had the shrimp burrito and it was frickin bomb! The slaw was perfect. It was not full of mayo and was nice and shredded. The Cajun seasoning added great flavor to the grilled shrimp. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Service was quick and the girl running the register was helpful and friendly. We will secondly be back again to explore more of the menu. We got our food to go so I cannot speak to the inside.

Tacos are really good and freshly made. The sauces bring out the flavors and the fish tacos are worth the hype! Stop here for sure on your back from Diamondhead 😎

20:35 14 Jan 22
Ordered the fish tacos... full and meaty, delicious! Surprised that they didn't include lime slices but didn't miss them at all! Also tried the garlic fries... literally as much garlic as fries, figured I ate at least one head (not one clove!) of garlic. I thought my b.o. would be affected the next day...but gratefully no 😁! No place to sit and eat... just a "hole in the wall", don't miss it!

Perfect amount of heat in their incinerator burger! Delicious combo with a little Cajun spice, pickled jalapenos and Frank's Red Hot. Burger was juicy and cooked perfect.
Bonnie Bennett
00:04 29 Jan 22
Great place away from the crowds of Waikiki. I go for Taco Tuesday - unbelievable fish taco (or chicken) deal, and so so good. Spicy fries are also great 👍 And their thumbprint peanut butter homemade cookies for less than $1 each?!? I mean come on. This place is SO GOOD. Definitely worth a stop. Be prepared to wait if you go on Tuesday tho because they get really busy!

08:26 15 Feb 22
February 2022: We stopped here on our last night in Oahu and I really wish we would have gone sooner so we could have had it more than once! We were there at peak dinner time, so the line was a little long, but so worth the wait! It's a take-out-only place, so plan a spot close by to eat it. I had the shrimp taco plate and my partner had the Ono fish burrito. Portions and prices were great!
Brianne Warren
15:34 05 Mar 22
Our first time in Oahu so we tried a lot of restaurants but this one just blew us away with its authenticity and taste! The tacos, mac salad, and even regular salad are to die for. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu to be honest. A must if you are in the area
Milan Markovic
03:07 13 Mar 22
The best type of places in Hawaii are the ones that are unassuming. I would fly back her just to have the food again. It was perfect and so tasty. Don’t hesitate and just come here!
Gabriel Virata Alves
07:04 18 Mar 22
Excellent food, found this place by luck. Fish tacos are fresh and plentiful. The burgers are huge and have a nice charred flavor. The chicken taco had more than enough meat to feed a kid. Super friendly owner. Please check it out !!!!

Had been heading to diamond head grill but walked past this joint and decided to give it a spin. Friendly crew and great lunch, went back to order seconds. While we sat in the window bench seat, the number of people walking in and their positive comments show what a great place this is for a casual lunch

All cooked fresh upon order and the fish is on point! It’s a little gem away from Waikiki. Locally owned. We will be back for sure!

I asked the friendly guy what was a typical Hawaiian item on their menu and he said hamburger steak, so I ordered that. It was pretty good especially the fried onions. The hamburger patty was beautifully cooked. For me, a little more coleslaw would have been great but all in all it was a pleasant lunch.

23:29 04 Jul 22
Our first time in Oahu and stopped by this wonderful place on our way to Diamond Head for lunch. Definitely felt like this was the place that the locals went to as the folks working there seemed to know the customers as regulars. We, a family of four had four different lunch plates, drinks, and even grabbed a couple of desserts. All I can say is...amazing!! Traditional, authentic, reasonably priced and outstanding service....just what I wanted on a random day in Oahu, not fancy but PERFECT!!!
Tad Nemickas
23:38 12 Jul 22
The food was AMAZING! TRY THE CAJIN ONO FISH TACOS! I couldn't get enough! We went back multiple times! So GOOD! Better than all the food trucks on the north shore hands down!

18:46 17 Jul 22
My goodness, this place is underrated, especially the garlic aioli!! The BEST I’ve ever tasted! Wish I could bottle it up and bring it home! Garlic fries were amazing as well! Hamburger were cooked perfectly and juicy. Definitely would recommend this place for some good food!
Shari McMahon
22:56 25 Jul 22
Convenient and delicious place to get takeout.Love the fish tacos and fish burrito. It’s not authentic Mexican but it’s Hawaiian fusion style (has coleslaw) which I like! I also have gotten the veggie burrito which is pesto based (cheaper than the fish burrito but still tasty).
Irene Tang
05:46 08 Aug 22
The best burritos you’ll ever have, honestly. Tried 4 different ones between my husband and I and loved every one. We came here now for the second time on this trip, even drove an hour out of our way the second time to get it… so worth it. Definitely hitting it one last time before we leave, maybe two 😋
Tara Moll
04:26 03 Sep 22
We found this taco shop via a recommendation. It took about 15 minutes to get our food which meant they were cooking the food from scratch. The food came out hot & smelling delicious! The taco plate is a full meal. Very large portion servings. Garlic fries are highly recommended. They have a fountain drink machine with ice if you drink the stuff. A few places to sit inside. Kinda dark. Place to doodle with chalk on the walls while you wait. Tasty salsa & other condiments available.

Partner and I stayed in Waikiki for a week and came here twice cause of how good it was! Both times we had it after walking Diamondhead and it was what we needed. The tuna Mac and slaw are super fresh and delicious. I got the Oho salad and plate and both were delicious. Partner loved the tacos. Prices are very reasonable as well. Staff friendly!

One of my favorite places to eat in Oahu! No frills surf shack style place with delicious food. Their fish tacos are amazing and the plate meals have generous portions at a decent price. Super fast service with very friendly staff. Enjoy!
Darren Hart

One of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had the food was off the charts, staff was very friendly and helpful when it came to choosing what we wanted. Definitely worth making your way down to south shore grill you won’t regret it! Got 2 fish tacos, 2 shrimp tacos, and 2 Cajun chicken tacos, and chips and salsa that were WAAAYYYY better than expected!
Denis Acosta
03:03 25 May 23
Great Customer service and very friendly! Honestly we loved the fries and chips for starters ! the Salsa was the best i’ve ever had!!!Fish tacos are a must!!! Definitely returning!!! Thank you again ✌️

Our favorite restaurant on the island. Food is incredible, portions are great and prices are fair. The SSG mix plate comes with chicken, kalbi beef and 1 fish taco along with rice, coke slaw and Mac salad. Their house hot sauce is great too.So good!
Ryan Anderson
20:34 13 May 23
This was a great find after leaving Waikiki fairly late tonight. The food was incredible and the service was fast! Prices were reasonable, especially in comparison to other restaurants in the area! The BBQ chicken thighs were delicious and my husband loved the fish tacos! Great large size kids meals as well!
Katie Johnson
08:04 06 Jul 23
DOESNT GET BETTER THAN THIS! Taco Tuesday…$7.50 for 2 tacos—best price I’ve seen on the island! I really hope they keep it that way! I went back twice in a day which should show how loyal I am to them! Workers are nice, fish tacos and shrimp tacos are yummy, and service is fast. SSG is doing it right!
Sarah Archuleta
18:04 06 Apr 23
I love this place! I’ll start at my hotel, do Diamond Head and get some tacos as a reward.These is just a great plate lunch place. Grab a Mexican coke and a plate lunch and enjoy. The best part: there’s a plate to try it all!! The tacos are my favorite but the chicken is also very good.

Last week I tried South Shore Grill for the first time. It was Taco Tuesday and the tacos were discounted. The fish taco was really fresh & yummy.I decided to go ago today and try a burrito. The best burrito that I have ever tasted. Keep up the great work!
Deborah King
02:14 21 Aug 23
The tacos are indeed awesome! I had one Ono fish and one Steak taco with Cajun fries and tuna Mac. Loved it all. The staff was very friendly. It is a smaller place seating wise but definitely enough room. Worth visiting.

This place is great. My only suggestion would be to hire someone to make fresh tortillas. This was a taco with A+ filling on an F grade stale walmart tortilla. Still an amazing place so I'm giving 5 stars. Living in AZ, I'm spoiled with fresh handmade tortillas. That would really pair well with these already great insides.
Mike Zucarelli
19:52 22 Sep 23
Delicious food in an unassuming venue. The fish tacos were amazing and so were the pork and chicken plates. Not much dine-in space or anything approaching a view, but if you're looking for good food then this is the right stop.

A must in Hawaii!!! I swear by the fish tacos! Hands down best taco in the world and I travel! We came back jus to eat the fish tacos!!!!! The aioli sauce hits!!!! And the best Mac salad ever!!!!!! I love it here, they treat us like family. Aloha, mahalo 🤙🏽

I lived on the Island 13 years ago and would come here frequently. It was incredibly satisfying having lunch here today and everything tasting the same as it did so many years ago. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much! 🌺🤙🏻

The surf and turf plate was the best. You can choose from either ono, garlic shrimp, kalbi, and bbq chicken. So worth the wait. Great spot for food near diamond head

Freshly cooked and healthy burritos! The veggies are crunchy too. One of the best in the island seriously. Tried Chicken BBQ Burrito which is sooooo good! 5/5. Cajun Fish is good as well. 12.50 each and free water available.

Super sweet crew, and insanely tasty tacos/burritos!We got some tacos while we were there, and took burritos with us to Diamond Head. Highly recommend the BBQ chicken thighs, and the kal-bi beef. The fish tacos are also very good, but the flavor was more punchy with the chicken and beef.Their cookies are also delicious, def worth a wait if you see a bit of a line. We lucked out both time we went, but it can fill up fast!

This is a great food stop. All the burritos are great, but my favorite is the shrimp. The garlic butter fries are a must. The Cajun fries are good, if you like a sweet twang with your spice. I usually bought more than one burrito per trip; one for right now, and another for later. I highly encourage you to order ahead, they can get very busy and you may have to wait a bit (only reason for 4-stars). The staff are very friendly, and don't mind taking the time to explain the menu if you're trying something for the first time. Can't wait for my next Hawaii trip, and another South Shore Grill burrito.

The place is small with limited seating. Other than that, the place is cozy and low key. Staff is knowledgeable about the menu, has great recommendations and modifications available. Best fish taco in Waikiki confirmed! Great drink choices too and the food tastes incredible, a must visit for fish lovers.

We drove past this place while heading to the Diamond Head Crater. I had the Grilled Ono Fish plate with pesto and it was delicious. The lemon cake is also very good. They also had Kefir water which tastes similar to kombucha if you like that sort of drinks.

Found this little gem by doing a google search. It did not disappoint. There were two of us and we both got the 2 Ono fish taco plate. We each got one, that was a LOT of food! One order would have been for the two of us. There tacos were great, coleslaw had a different taste, but I’m not from Hawaii so maybe they make it different here. And the fries were done just right. And you have to get a macadamia nut cookie…. So good.As an FYI, seating is limited and tight, so don’t have big expectations for that.

I gave an overall 5 stars because the staff is really great.We had Surf and Turf, plus a Cajun shrimpTaco, and lemon jello cake. The kalbi was delicious. Bbq chicken was very good. The slaw, tacos and rice were rather bland. Fortunately there was salsa and hot sauce (+ salt) to pep it up. The lemon jello cake was recommended and did not disappoint. I do wonder what the pumpkin crunch tasted like! The decor could be a bit less spare!

This was such a good find for my husband and I that we came twice while on our week long vacation and would have came more if we didn’t care about trying new places. It’s one of the hole in the wall restaurants that you always remember! We both really enjoyed the fish tacos. It feels like eating a comforting home cooked meal. Definitely recommend!

We had a magnificent experience with South Shore Grill. I had the Ono plate lunch with garlic and it was fantastic. Fish was perfect, the Mac salad was unique. My wife had the spicy garlic shrimp plate which was also very very good. Then not pictured was the bbq chicken quesadilla which you must order. It was sooooo good and the chipotle sauce with it is to die for. It was so good we stopped in two days after this meal just for the quesadilla. If I only had one day on the island this would be one of my meals!

Stopped on a recommendation. The best decision made. Tacos are so delicious and flavorful. The filling is packed. We had both fish and shrimp tacos. The coleslaw used on the tacos is amazing. Quick service but the not lots of seating. Wait staff is so friendly and helpful. You do get your money worth..

This was a great experience.We were visiting Hawaii over the past week and while we were doing the typical tourist activities, we asked about some good "local eateries". South Shore Grill was recommended and it happened to be quite close from our stay.We made our way to the restaurant and we were glad we did.Food was excellent and the price was very reasonable. It's a smallish place but we were taking ours to go anyway.We ordered some fish tacos (Taco Tuesday!) and some plates on the menu. They were all very tasty and fresh.I would definitely recommend this place.

We stopped here on a recommendation from our Uber driver after we shared that we walk down from Diamond Head to the beach and pass through these spots on our way. She recommended the fish tacos and wow was she spot on! Amazing flavor, incredible portion sizes, great space to sit and relax after our trek.

You know how it is when you’re looking for food and you want something that has that perfect balance of taste the hits all the right spots? Oh man. Best food on the trip. We will come here every time we’re on the island. 100%.Mac salad. A+Tacos A+This is the standard of taste everyone is shooting for. Most fall short. This place crushes it. Great staff too.

We loved the atmosphere. You know a place is good when there is a line out the door to order and it's hard to find a table. We had to wait a bit to order and get our food but it was worth it. The fish tacos were delicious and so was the tuna mac salad. The fries were not good which was sad and the table and floor underneath us was a bit dirty so that's the reason for the 4 stars.

16:44 15 Jun 18
Great atmosphere. Fish taco was delicious as was the Kalbi beef taco. Their slaw was kind of like a leafy cabbage slaw which was a little different but not bad. A bit too much aioli on everything, didn't really let the fish shine and it was definitely tasty. I recommend though.

Great Taco Tuesday for fish or chicken for $2.75! Friendly and patient staff. Even though there was a very long line to order, their staff took time to help and explain menu items and help customers with certain food allergies. The food was very good, fresh and tasty! It’s worth the wait. They have a self serve station for sauces and they have a staff member who comes out to clean the area and explain the sauces. Great selection and prices are affordable. I took off one star because there wasn’t enough staff to clean off the tables. Tip: after ordering food or if coming with another person, one of you would want to grab a table.

Awesome place for fresh fish tacos, burgers, fries, and onion rings. There is limited seating, so order to go or come prepared to wait for a space. Try the loaded fries!! They are tasty and perfect to share at your table.The fish tacos are great too.Parking is also limited so you may need to park further away and walk over.

Friendly staff and a good vibe. One of the smaller places we have been, but we went during a less busy hour so it was easy peasy. The tacos were excellent. I wish I could have eaten 3 more than I did - especially with the salsa/hot sauce they had. All around good food!

We discovered South Shore Grill on our return hike from Diamond Head Crater, finding a diverse menu of tacos and burritos designed to please all palates. The fish tacos were excellent, as well as the steak burritos. Great place to stop for a quick bite after burning some calories on the Diamond Head Crater hiking trail.

Michelle Tran

I didn't take any photos, but I definitely will be back! Ordered the fish taco and a shrimp taco. They have a two taco combo, but I think it has to be the same tacos. The shrimp is small, but they. They add a lot of lettuce and stuff, so they are pretty substantial. I would say the fish taco was better out of the two because the fish was in larger chunks, do it doesn't get lost. They have plate lunches, burgers, and a pretty extensive menu, so even for picky eaters you will definitely find something to please your appetite

Very good fish tacos ! The ono was very tender and seasoned perfectly. It was juicy and melted in your mouth . The place was very tiny with very few chairs / tables. The person who took our order was very friendly and nice. Prices average.

Super understated nook, but amazing plates. I ordered the Kalbi, it was so well-marinated and tender. I would be remiss if I did not mention the sides-- the coleslaw was crisp and vinegar-y (heads up if you prefer mayo-based!) And the macaroni salad was AMAZING.Service and vibe was low-key but friendly.

We ordered the Ono Fish Plate and a Cajun Shrimp Burrito. 🐟🌯 My boyfriend loved the shrimp burrito and the fish plate was good. The portions and price were good. If I went back, I would try a different sauce for the fish plate. I chose the soy sesame, but maybe I would try the garlic? 🤔
