Real Big Mouths ate its fair share of Mexican food in California. It was our go-to when ever we were there, especially at 2 AM. We were happy that we found food similar in Hawai’i with Alejandro's Mexican Food Kapahulu.

Alejandro’s Mexican food Kapahulu opened in July. Like their original place, in a pink building next to a laundromat in Kalihi Valley, you couldn’t miss their Kapahulu restaurant with their red-framed takeout window right across the Crane Park Community basketball courts. There was ample parking behind the restaurant. 

Alejandro’s Kapahulu had all the essentials: beef, carnitas, chicken, and carne asada. You could have them in a taco, quesadilla, bowl, burrito, or with chips as a nacho. Hungry? Their Macho Burrito used a foot long tortilla. Sour cream, cheese, and avocados were available to add to your dish for a surcharge. 

We ordered the Taco Combo Plate #2 which came with 3 mini soft tacos, rice, beans and a drink for $13.50. The beef, carnitas, and chicken were lean and nicely seasoned. Although we missed the grease that usually drips out after every bite, each soft taco had a generous serving of meat that left us full and feeling like a piñata.

We also ordered the carne asada nachos for $15. A bit pricey, but the star at Alejandro’s Mexican Food Kapahulu was for sure the carne asada— tender, juicy and delicious! We could have ordered all of the above with Alejandro’s carne asada, washed it down with a horchata, and ended our lunch with a nice siesta.
