"You gotta be Moco Loco not to stop and try this place. So delicious and worth the drive from Glendale."

"Big portions, the food was good, and it was ready pretty fast, no more than a 10 minute wait. The staff was helpful explaining the choices/meals when told it was our first time."

"Huge portions, always fresh, sauces are amazing. Everything on the menu is delicious!! One plate is enough to split for two people or a kids meal for one person if you aren't a big eater."

"Went around 2pm on a Thursday. Food was made fresh, hot, and FAST. Huge portions and a good variety of meats in the mixed plate. Cashier was nice and the place was very clean! Seasoned well and the amount of leftovers I had was equivalent to a ‘normal’ plate at some of the other Hawaiian joints in AZ. I personally love the veggies, but I stacked my meat in the pic just to show they aren’t shoving a ton of veggies in there to short you on meat—- there’s just a LOTTT of food"

"Great restaurant with nice options. The serving are large. The serve was excellent and this newer restaurant is clean and welcoming. Food could have been just a touch spicer as I ordered the Fire Chicken, it did come with extra packages of Sriracha."
