Da Taste by Ohana Q: Menu & Drinks

Da Taste in Kona, Hawaii, offers fresh Mexican street food that is filling and satisfying. They also feature unique dishes and tapas influenced by Italian and Hawaiian foods.

One of the standout dishes is its sumptuous Kiawe Smoked Brisket Tacos. This mouth-watering meal features three corn or two flour tortillas topped with delicious Texas-style smoked brisket. Atop this scrumptiousness are salsa, shredded lettuce, cheese, and their homemade BBQ aioli.

Vegetarians will marvel at the Veggie Tacos. Whether you opt for the three corn or two flour tortillas, these tasty tacos will hit the spot! The meal also includes Cowboy Caviar (black beans marinated in a vinaigrette).

Unlike other Mexican restaurants, chips and salsa are not complementary. You'll find them in the menu's " Extras " section with other choices.

When it comes to adult beverages, you can't go wrong at Da Taste. Their forte is tequila, so if you love margaritas (and who doesn't!), this is the place to come. The full bar offers four beers on tap, several bottled beers, and a range of spirits. Celebrate your ziplining or water adventures at The Umauma Experience with any of their refreshing beverages.
