Daily-Caught Fish

Sound Familiar?

Tired of Generic Beach Food on the North Shore?

Frozen Fish, No Flavor

Most spots near the beach serve frozen seafood with generic seasoning. You came to Hawaii for fresh, local flavors - not reheated fish sticks.

Long Waits, Short on Time

You just spent the morning surfing or snorkeling and you're starving. The last thing you want is a 45-minute wait at a sit-down restaurant.

Same Old Tourist Traps

Overpriced, underwhelming food that locals would never eat. You want the spot where both tourists and North Shore locals actually go.

What Taco Lovers Say About North Shore Tacos

"The fish tacos here are hands down the best I've had in Hawaii. The fish was so fresh and the Surf Sauce is amazing. We stopped here after snorkeling at Shark's Cove and it was the perfect post-swim meal."

- Mike T.

"We drive from Honolulu just for the Surfin' Tacos. Everything is made fresh and you can taste the difference. The pineapple salsa is incredible and the portions are generous."

- Keala S.

"Had North Shore Tacos cater our beach wedding and it was a hit! Every single guest raved about the food. Joey and his team were professional and the tacos were fresh and delicious."

Our Story

From Utah to Hawaii's #1 Fish Tacos

In 2010, Joey Fullmer left Utah with a dream and converted an old fast food building in Hau'ula into what would become North Shore Tacos. His commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients and made-from-scratch recipes earned us Sunset Magazine's designation as the #1 Fish Tacos in Hawaii.

Today, we serve thousands of happy customers across two locations - our sit-down restaurant in Hau'ula and our food truck at Shark's Cove. Every taco starts with fish caught that morning by local fishermen.
