La'au's Taco Shop is a culinary gem located in Colorado Springs, expertly fusing Hawaiian and Mexican cuisines into a delightful dining experience. The restaurant's unique offerings, such as the huli huli chicken tacos and peanut butter chicken tacos, reflect a creative approach to traditional flavors. Patrons rave about the freshness of the ingredients, with one customer declaring their tacos "simply divine." The flour tortillas, sturdy enough to resist the exuberant salsas, provide the perfect vessel for these bold combinations.

Cleanliness and prompt service further enhance the inviting atmosphere, making La'au's a top choice for both locals and campus visitors. With a variety of options from tacos to burritos and bowls, coupled with refreshing horchata drinks and a cozy patio, it's no wonder guests feel drawn back time and time again.

Reviews For La'au's Taco Shop

This place was an experience. We love Hawaiian food and Mexican food, bit we'd never thought to mix the two together. Let me say, this was an awesome surprise. The mix of sweet and salt all mixed together in a flour tortilla was great. I can't remember what salsa we had, but we tried everyone of them and each one was excellent. What a great surprise in downtown Colorado Springs.

What a surprising little taco shop! We won a gift card, so we wanted to check out the food. Hubby ordered a steak burrito and I had the peanut butter chicken tacos! Definitely recommend this place, if you are on campus, you must check it out. I loved the charred jalapenos they offer at the lil' salsa bar. Just perfect!!

My absolute favorite taco place. They are simply divine. Super fresh ingredient and pretty importantly here, the shells hold together very well despite all the salsa. The restaurant is always clean and service is prompt. I would lease my firstborn child for the chance to eat these every day.

Love this spot! It's on campus and has it's own parking. Total Hawaiian theme with huli huli chicken tacos. You can get bowls, tacos or burritos. They have horchata drinks and a patio as well. Great stop for lunch or takeout. Fresh ingredients!

Best tacos ever! We ate at the previous location while visiting Colorado Springs 18 months ago. We have been dreaming about the tacos ever since so decided to come back. The new location is lovely, the service was excellent and the tacos did not disappoint. We worried they might not be as good as we remember but they were even better. The crispy tofu and cauliflower tacos are everything and their homemade guacamole is delicious! Needless to say, we’ll be back...probably tomorrow.

Amazing, I've had almost everything on the menu. The Baja steak burrito is my fave!!! The food is made to order so it is fresh. The rice is sticky and fluffy so it goes perfect with everything. La'aus is def on my top 5 list for fave spots to eat. Can't get enough of Laaus.

Yum ! It has been years since I have. Even here and I don't know why! Their food is great and the atmosphere is comfortable! The salsas make the meal even more delicious! If you haven't been here I reccomend the pork taco with pineapple salsa! Nice spice and flavor! The guacamole is so fresh and we couldn't get enough of it! If you are looking to try a tacos place with a different flare you should give this place a try !
