Just wanted a snack. Asked them if they had a smaller burrito. They suggested the kids burrito. Same ingredients as regular. BEST Burrito in Hawaii. Try it. It won't disappoint.

A day off with the Kids and Grandbaby to Waikele! Early lunch crave for Mexican and excited to come back to El J's. Ordered the street beef taco with fresh salsa and a lime. Battered fish with guacamole taco, Quesadilla plate with guacamole, sauce & sour cream. Along with a nice cold horchata and Mangoniada so refreshing with a tang! If you all hungry after shopping at Waikele Premiums check these guys out and other food trucks in the back parking area by Coach. They've got good grinds! Mmm!

We finally found a burrito that is worth the price. It is twice as big as other restaurants. The chicken tacos are good too. They offer mild or spicy salsa so you can enjoy your food at your level of spiciness. They have a couple of tables outside the food truck so you can eat there if you are still shopping at Waikele.

Food truck in the back of waikele outlet mall. Ordered ahead via phone and it was a busy time so wait was about 30 minutes. Ordered 2 burritos with one asada and al pastor. Both meats were well cooked and flavor. The rice was tasty and flavorful. Added guac to one ( I believe for ann extra charge) and very small amt given. Burrito is usually cilantro, onion, meat, rice and beans. I love cheese so unfortunately I was SO disappointed that they don't have cheese in the burrito. Also the burrito didn't have much salsa and felt dry when biting into it. The food truck doesn't have chips and salsa which I alwayssss crave when eating a burrito/mexican. Size was large but the cost was about $16 or so each. Flavor is good for the rice and meat in the burrito but if you want the extras and variety of options this isn't the place for you.

Located in back of the coach store in the upper waikele outlet stores parking lot, decided to buy food from this truck since I was buying from another truck read the reviews and the farmer's market was dwindling in food tents, but I wasn't too impressed. California beef burrito - 3.5 stars - for $17, it had ground beef, fries and other items. It was pretty big and loaded, and although a little bland, the fries added in gave it a special twist. Enchilada plate - 3.5 stars - for $16 I got 2 enchiladas that were made to order, and not liking a lot of salt, was flavored just right, but the beans were salty. The rice was ok. Service - 4 stars only because the wait is long because there were 4 people before us, and it took more than 15 minutes just to order, then another 15 minutes for the food to be ready for pick-up. The food truck cashier/server was very friendly, talkative and nice. Lots of parking since it is located at the waikele premium outlets upper parking area.

Food truck is located in the corner of Waikele Shopping Center. They offer mexican cuisine and had to check it out to take a break from our shopping. I highly recommend getting their carne asada torta because not only it is flavorful, but it is large considering the value. The price can be off-putting, but I think it is worth it to try their other items.

I just happened to stumble across this place. I was shopping at the outlets and was looking for food and saw some people with some takeout and found all the food trucks. I decided on Mexican. I ended up ordering a chicken enchilada, it was pretty good, it came with salad, rice and beans. The lady who served me was really nice. Can't wait to come back on my next holiday.............
