Aloha Mamacita started as a Food Truck and then graduated to brick an mortar in Waipahu. They now have a location in the Nimitz Business Center near Best Buy and Home Depot.
The location is very difficult to find and in fact I was going to throw in the towel and leave the Business Center when my Wife looked on the map and found that the restaurant was located in THE BACK of Nimitz Business Center. We went to the back and still could not find it until we saw a mini sign next to a Korean Church. Believe me this is one of the strangest places I have seen in Honolulu. You walk from and industrial complex into a dark quasi Japanese Garden with a Koi Pond and in the corner is a small door that is Aloha Mamacita. We arrived to a small line with one of the workers on the phone giving directions on how to find the place. I too called when we were looking around but the line was always busy. Probably with more people calling for directions. The menu is small and most every item contains Birria which is a marinated beef. The Birria Tacos with Consomme ($15) was my favorite. Three Tacos served with a delicious consommé that that has a nice kick of spice on the back end. I liked the balance of cheese and meat. The Tacos had a nice crunch and were not soggy. The Onions and Cilantro added more flavor. These were probably the best Birria Tacos I have tried in Hawaii. The Street Tacos ($3 each) were tiny and contained the Birria meat less the cheese. Also served with Consomme. Go for the Birria Tacos and skip the Street Tacos. The Birria Bomb Bites ($9) are balls of the Birria Meat and Cheese with more Consomme. These are really heavy and filling. After eating the Birria Taco I could only eat one of the Bites. Probably would not order these again and stick with the Birria Tacos. Once you can find Aloha Mamacita you will enjoy some really good Birria Tacos.
