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!

The food and environment were great, a bit on the pricier side, but guess this is normal for Hawaii. Wanna give a big shout-out to our server Nathan who accomandated my boyfriend's food allergies so well! Not only did he take the effort to communicate multiple rounds with the kitchen to make sure the food is allergen-free, give recommendations, he also went above-and-beyond and offered us both regular & gluten free bread, and helped divide the steak for us to share. Nathan was super friendly and gave us tips of travelling in Hawaii too. Thank you Nathan for your amazing service! On allergies: many GF options or food that can be modified for be GF. Gluten & soy free options are a bit more challenging
