Signature Plates & Entrees

Every plate at North Shore Tacos starts with the freshest ingredients on the island. Our fish is caught by local Oahu fishermen and delivered to our kitchen the same day. Our salsas, beans, meats, and legendary Surf Sauce are all made from scratch - because that’s the only way we know how to do it.

Surfin’ Tacos

Our signature dish and the reason Sunset Magazine named us the #1 Fish Tacos in Hawaii. Choose your protein - fresh-caught fish, shrimp, steak, chicken, sweet pork, or vegetarian - served with jack cheese, crisp lettuce, house-made pico de gallo, and our famous Surf Sauce. Comes with a side of rice and beans or chips and salsa.

Beach Burrito

A hearty burrito packed with your choice of meat, cilantro lime rice, beans, and jack cheese, then smothered in your choice of red or green sauce and baked enchilada style. This is comfort food meets beach vibes.

Da Kine Quesadilla

Pressed with Jack and Cheddar cheeses and your choice of protein, topped with our signature Surf Sauce, fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside.

Sunset Salad

For something lighter but just as satisfying - romaine lettuce, lime cilantro rice, your choice of beans and protein, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, Surf Sauce, and crunchy tortilla strips.

Gnarly Nachos

A mountain of freshly made chips loaded with melted cheese, beans, your choice of meat, Surf Sauce, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Perfect for sharing - or not, we won’t judge.

Protein Options

Choose from seven delicious proteins for any dish:

  • Fresh Fish - Daily-caught local fish, lightly battered and fried golden
  • Shrimp - Seasoned and grilled to perfection
  • Steak - Marinated and grilled, sliced thin
  • Chicken - Seasoned and grilled
  • Beef - Slow-cooked with our house seasonings
  • Sweet Pork - Tender pulled pork with a sweet glaze
  • Vegetarian - A savory mix of grilled vegetables

Keiki (Kids) Menu

The little ones eat well here too. Our Keiki menu includes Keiki Tacos and Keiki Quesadillas starting at just $4.78 for a cheese quesadilla. Same quality proteins, same fresh ingredients - just smaller portions for smaller appetites.

"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."

"As a local, I can say North Shore Tacos is the real deal. No frozen fish, no shortcuts. The Beach Burrito smothered in green sauce is my go-to every single time."
