Eating Kauai’s Locally Sustainable Mexican Food at Verde
What do you want to eat?
I could really go for a taco right about now.
Verde tl;dr
- Closed Their Kapaa and Only Maintain the Branch in Lihue
- Great Mexican Food Made with Hawaiian Ingredients
No story. No buildup.
Straight Mexican food in Lihue of Kauai made with Hawaiian ingredients.
Am I saying this is the most authentic Mexican food that I’ve ever had in the world?
No.
But what I’m saying is that it’s tasty and if you’re in the area, you should check it out especially if you like seafood in your dishes. We really like Mexican seafood dishes and seafood doesn’t get any better in Hawaii than local Hawaiian seafood.
- Fish Tacos
- Shrimp Burrito
It’s also pairs really nice with some horchata!
What is It
Verde is the local creation of Maris Manzano that is aimed to provide Mexican comfort food with the island’s sustainable ingredients. Other things that they state in their info:
- ✓ 100% grass-fed Kaua’i beef

Where is It
Verde is located in a strip mall on Nuhou Street in the southeastern part of the island of Kauai. It can sometimes be confused by their old location in Kapaa, but rest assured that there’s only 1 location now and it’s in Lihue.
