Encore Saloon - Honolulu

Delicious Lunch Tacos! I highly recommend the burrito bowls; you can't go wrong with either the Baja fish or Carne Asada options. My coworkers and I eat here at least once a week. The service is great, and the food is always quick and tasty.

Afterward, we indulged in some mezcal tastings. They had a solid selection, including some well-known brands like Bozal, Alipus, and the Del Maguey lineup, as well as some lesser-known varieties that were incredibly tasty! They traditionally served their mezcals with orange slices and Sal de Gusano (worm salt!). I do wish the mezcals were served in traditional copitas to embrace the tradition even more! The service was excellent. The bartender was very helpful and patiently answered all our questions. If you’re visiting Hawaii and typically go for tiki drinks, I recommend stepping out of your comfort zone and checking out this mezcaleria. You won’t be disappointed!

Both times I’ve been here, it has been a beautiful experience. The service and the food is absolutely incredible! I really enjoyed my mahi-mahi bowl with the house margarita : I will for sure be coming back here with my boyfriend to try out their tequila flight : Mahalo for great service

What can you say honestly about this place? Could you say the ambience is Whack? I would definitely not say! It has a kind of vibe of Portland that can be found here in Oahu. Music was perfectly mixed some local radio tunes with a mixture of other great melodies. Didn't hear a bad song! Could you say the service is sucked? Not from our experience! We loved our bartender (Clarissa) and the bar back was Johnny on site when it came to bring us our food and clean our plates and empty glasses. Our bartender always had an eye on our beers, the review in the perfect time to fill us again. Could you say the food was garbage? I'm sure I'd contradict myself! I tried 5x of their tacos and each one was absolutely delicious jam full of taste! The deconstructed Elote aka Mexican corn was bomb.com! We saw a few next to us who got the corn and chips w/guacamole and also used chips for the corn. Touche neighbor and great thinking. Save the trick for our next visit. We have tried to find GOOD tasting mexican on the island since here in April and this is the second place we found w/ Taqueria La Marea is the other and a MUST TRY if you haven't! Just pay attention to the missing hours/days they are open. Is the pricing of your problem? Not when it comes to drinks! A pitcher from Pacifico for $11?! Yes, please! Tecate can go for $4? Don't worry if I get 2x! And the food prices? ALL inexpensive especially considering its in Chinatown. $3.50 for a street taco is decent to consider how delicious it is! The bowl of Mexican corn was cheated or maybe after 5. Taco was so full? I usually share Pix from our food, but my phone died directly when we sit. You are 110% do VAX checks and masks are required to enter and do not eat/drink. No complaints here about them force this. Parking can be the only thing you can complain about, just because they are in Chinatown, so street parking is your option. The bike or something. Anyway, we will scrub back 110% and tell all our friends about this place!

Husband and I really enjoyed our lunch here! We each had a baja fish taco that we both devoured. We also shared a portion of nachos with carne asada as well as a bowl of the street corn and those two were similarly tasty. We split a Chris Kattan cocktail between us both and it was both pretty and delicious. Service was especially kind and thoughtful. Highly recommend and would come back in the future!
