Mexican martini is the best drink to get. The stuffed avocado was amazing as well as the fried shrimp tacos! Food was way better than I expected although Queso = watered down

The cheeseburgers! The service is so friendly and always wanting to help! Loved the outside seating/view and the small, but fitting, gift shop inside!

We split the Huli Huli Luau Platter and it was great. Good mix of a lot of great stuff: ribs, tacos, nachos, salad. The Mai Tai was great too. Also recommend the Tres Leches for dessert.

The deep-fried stuffed avocado is the best avocado in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Austin. Read more

If you like avacado you have to try the fried stuffed avocado, perfect mixture of healthy but savory. Great food, crappy bartenders.
Linda FelterAugust 8, 2014
Sit outside (unless it's way too hot) order a frozen margarita (mango is my preference) and nosh on a pipeline enchilada full of queso deliciousness.

Looking to indulge but not be too bad? Try the stuffed avocado as an appetizer with sides of diced tomato and lettuce. Delish!

The Kawaikini Stuffed Avocado is incredible, the atmosphere beautiful and warm even on a cold day, and the service outstanding.
Scott YuenSeptember 30, 2015
Love this place! They are owned by Chuy's so you know they will be good! It is the perfect blend of Hawaiian-Mexican Fusion! The view is great too!
Dianey SandovalFebruary 14, 2017
Great Tex mex place... sit out doors if you can... I love the burgers!! It gets very busy on the weekends... parking may be a challenge...
EleiJuly 21, 2013
Totally love their mango shrimp enchiladas & wikiwiki shrimp & pineapple po boy. Beautiful setting where you can watch boat activities while enjoying your food & drinks with friends & family.

Stuffed deep fried avocado with green chile chicken. The best invention ever!!
Christine RomeoApril 21, 2014
Best place on Lake Austin to enjoy a view of the water and some great food. I recommend tubular tacos and a margarita!
Arilene MoraisNovember 23, 2017
The margaritas are really good in especial the blue Hawaiian one! Good price and tasty food!

Authentically Austin! Take a seat on the back patio-it overlooks the serene Lake Austin & will make you wish you had a boat. Ask for creamy jalapeño ranch dressing & mix it with the salsa.
JeremyApril 8, 2016
Chicken Tubular Enchilada....ask to add fajita meat (only $1 more). Heaven! Sit out back on the enclosed deck for best views.
Social News NetworkJune 27, 2012
They have a great strawberry daiquiri, and chips and hot salsa while you wait for your table. Beware that it can be hard to find a parking spot, so get there early!
Social News NetworkJune 27, 2012
This is a great place to come with family and friends. They have a good view of the lake and amazing food. I love their Chicken and Avacado Tubular Taco.
Pila JohnsonJune 2, 2014
Nice place. Neat ambiance. Definite Hapa Haole era decor and feel. Interesting tex-awaiian cuisine. Great location on Lake Austin!
Eric AndersenOctober 19, 2016
Yum! The Thai BBQ fajitas are delicious, highly recommended
Madison DaughertyAugust 11, 2017
My brother said the pork burrito was the best he'd ever had. The chicken flautas were really good too.
John BuckhannanApril 2, 2015
Thai BBQ fajitas!!! Awesome atmosphere! Sat by the water. Love this place. Great food, great service.
Brad HagerApril 25, 2017
Neat place to sit outside on the deck over the water. Great crowd, decent food and cold beer.
Kevin GrantMarch 28, 2015
Kind of like Hawaiian Olive Garden. As long as your expectations are managed, you'll have a good time. Great outdoor seating.
Ana Karen MedinaApril 19, 2015
Awesome place (the view and all the decoration) the food is ok, I only liked the burrito. It took more than hour to get me a table 😒.
Lori DixonJanuary 5, 2018
Onsite made flour tortillas are the best i have ever had! Chips are great too!

The food is Tex-Mex with Hawaiian influences...but the real reason to come is the view from the patio, perched over the lake.
John WallsMarch 29, 2010
If the wait is an hour for the patio, it's worth it. Grab a drink at the bar, order an appetizer and enjoy the river-front views. Oh, and order a Texas Martini. Make that two of them. Wait, three. Read more

Delicious Mexican martinis. If the wait is long, walk to the bar at the end of the pier and seat yourself in one of the booths.
Susan DavisSeptember 19, 2013
Eating outside is amazing especially when there is a breeze! Parking is limited so be prepared to walk.

Enchiladas seem to be Hula Hut's specialty. Order some to accompany a cerulean Blue Hawaiian, and you'll have a mini vacation on the lake.

Thai BBQ fajitas. That's all you need to know. Just order them.
Mike GuerraJune 22, 2012
Great dinner, one of the best places we have eaten in Austin. Try the "Pipeline shrimp enchiladas".
Jessica FradonoMarch 8, 2013
I AM NOT RECOMMENDING the food!!! It is ok, but being on the water is what I like about this place. And the Mexican Martinis :)
Shelby HendersonJuly 3, 2013
Food here is great! I hope you get Shawn as your server. He's wonderful and very kind!
Stacy PalkaSeptember 6, 2013
Nice place for a vacation feel. Nice outdoor deck and bar right on the lake!
Todd JFebruary 28, 2011
The Thai fajitas are awesome!!! The portions are huge so split them if you can. The margaritas are very good as well. Try one.
Erik QualmanNovember 21, 2009
Having Margaritas here on a nice Friday is tough to beat. Get there early as wait times can be over 2 hours. Right on Lake Austin! If you have a boat you can dock here too!
Luis EscalanteAugust 21, 2011
The avocado and the chicken and guac burrito are the bomb! Don't forget the chicken tortilla soup as well. Great service!
Julie YeagerMarch 25, 2016
The shrimp flautas were great!!
Jana XuFebruary 15, 2014
Get the weekends specials, it's good and nice looking too :)

Hawaiian Fajitas are amazing and you can't beat the Lake Austin atmosphere...
Social News NetworkJune 30, 2012
They won't sing or embarrass your friend/family member, but they do have "birthday nachos" for those special occasions. Fruit and whipped cream over cinnamon tortilla chips.
Kira MaixnerMarch 14, 2015
Eating outside will make you want to jump in the river and enjoy the water! Rent a kayak! Read more
D VolpApril 20, 2022
Food was ok. View was very nice. Waiter slow as can be. Never asked if we needed anything or how food was or want another drink. Practically had to tackle him to get another drink.
Matthew GordonMarch 14, 2012
Spinach and shrimp tacos, mango poblano quesadilla, and Hawaiian fajitas. Also, austin-tini.
Emily BerriganAugust 11, 2013
Great food but the service was really bad, she forgot to put our order in, and we still had a almost 3hr drive back home, needless to say was not happy about that!
Eric AndersenOctober 19, 2016
Get here at sunset!
🌊 Christy GoldfederMay 16, 2015
Nice vacation vibe. Get margaritas and sit out on the deck.
