The Story So Far
↳ four chapters, sixteen years
A Board & A Dream
↳ Baja-bound, taco-obsessedIt all started with a board and a dream. Joseph "Joey" Fullmer spent years chasing monster waves along the coast of Baja, where he fell in love with the simple perfection of authentic Mexican taco stands.
The First Location
↳ Kam Hwy, 2010In 2010 Joey brought that passion home. He converted a humble building in Hau'ula into a premium Baja-style taco joint that would change the North Shore forever. The restaurant quickly earned accolades like #1 Fish Tacos from Sunset Magazine and a front-page feature in the Star Advertiser.
A New Wave
↳ Elen joins the ohana, 2014In 2014, Elen joined the ohana, bringing 25 years of family business experience and a background in tourism. She refreshed the restaurant's atmosphere, improved the food, added Brazilian fusion touches, and helped launch the popular Sharks Cove food truck in 2015.
The Coastal Lifestyle
↳ where we are todayToday, our menu reflects the coastal lifestyle of Oahu's North Shore and the travels that shaped our love for great tacos. Inspired by Baja fish tacos and the fresh ingredients found across Hawaii, North Shore Tacos brings together casual beachside food and the surf culture that has always been part of our story.
“The fish tacos that set the standard for the islands — sashimi-grade, scratch-sauced, surf-soul.”— Sunset Magazine · #1 Fish Tacos in Hawaii
