"At only 3 years old, a beachside food truck serving fresh-caught fish tacos in Kauai's Kapaa town has made quite a name for itself: It garnered the top spot in Yelp's list of the top 100 food trucks in 2025. Nestled among a group of food trucks near Kapaa Beach, Tony's Catch has a 4.9-star rating from just over 300 Yelp reviews. It had stiff competition: 24 other food trucks from Hawaii were featured on the list, and 22 were from California."
"His fish tacos are named for the famous surfing town of Playa Zicatela, located in the state of Oaxaca and about 20 minutes away from Diaz's hometown, and are the star of the show. They've garnered rave reviews and repeat customers. Mahi mahi is slathered with a beer batter, fried in butter and served on warm corn tortillas with an avocado-jalapeño sauce. He said he was inspired by the fish tacos he tried in Zicatela and decided to make his own version."
