After years of surf trips to Mexico, Joey wanted to bring his love for fresh fish tacos from Baja to Hawaii and opened the restaurant in Hau'ula.

A dream
come true.

In 2014 Joey partnered with Elen and after some hard work they opened the food-truck, an additional location at Shark’s Cove in Pupukea, Oahu in May of 2015.

"They decided to set out on a journey to create it themselves."
