Based on my 1 year living experience in DF(Mexico city), I can tell you that this restaurant got the vibe! For one thing, the Mexican music was all over the place! Second, they got a good selection for food and drinks. And I gotta say even though they made some changes for the sauce but it was tasty! Service was good and chill just like in Mexico! Overall, I believe this is my favorite restaurant in Hualien!

Delicious vegan and vegetarian options! I forgot to take a picture of the food because it looked so delicious i couldn't wait! I recommend the fajitas and tacos. The fajitas sauce was SO delicious.

Me and my friend enjoyed a nice lunch there, and the service was exceptional and the enchiladas were fantastic. I had the beef enchiladas and my friend had the pulled pork enchiladas. We also got chips and salsa and guacamole. They have a good selection of tequila. We had a couple shots of patron and Jose Cuervo 1800, as well as very good house margaritas. This restaurant is in a great location on a corner with great views and lighting in a nice area. They also have a very good selection as you can see in the menu pictures I have posted. I would definitely recommend and return to this great restaurant.

Their food is amazing! and the female boss is so nice, we were in rush because of the train, but they made the meal soooo fast! Fast and it's still delicious! 😋 Defo will visit again!

We booked this restaurant, recommended by a friend. I love Tex-mex and I was bowled over that I can find authentic tex-mex food in Hualian of all places. The guacamole and nachos was fresh and a perfect starter. We shared beef fajitas, a taco salad and finished off with fried ice cream. Highly recommend the dirty mojito to perfectly pair with your feast. Great service all round as well despite being really busy during dinner service.

I had an incredibly good time on a Friday night at Dos Tacos. It's very difficult to find good enchiladas in Taiwan, especially when not dining in Taipei. Our server was also incredibly lovely. She provided a friend with a free serving of nachos when her order came out a little later than the rest of us. There was a moment when a customer got up and left without paying the bill because he could not wait an extra 2-3 minutes for his chips to finish baking in the oven. It was an incredibly rude experience, and the server deserved better. She was incredibly polite the entire time, was one of four people working at the restaurant, and was capable of speaking English with foreigners without difficulties. Would come back again!

It's a nice place to hang out chilling with good enviroment, but I get dissapointed with what I ordered doesn't taste as I expected, it was a burrito combo something like that, the lady who was working that night is too kind and friendly, just I don't really like food that much, and I think it was a price too high for.

The best Mexican food on the East Side of the island. Hands down. Fairly simple menu, but good stuff indeed. Pricing is decent too. I have a family of 5 and they wanted to come here for lunch on back-to-back days. The staff is super friendly and very quick to respond to requests for chips, extra guacamole, drinks, etc. (Not something I can say about every Mexican restaurant on West side of the island.) I think if you come to Hualien, this restaurant should be a destination point for lunch for at least one meal. Whether you are new to Mexican food or already a fan, this is a "must try" restaurant for anyone making the long trek to Hualien.

The food was pretty good, I was impressed. My main complaint might be that the chimichanga came out lukewarm. If it came out steamy hot (I saw a table nearby with hot fajitas) I’d give another star. They also give quite small portions of the sauces and charge extra for things like salsa. For one person it was 22USD ~640TWD so not cheap!

My friends and I ate at this restaurant and were blown away by how good the food and the service was. Our waitress was friendly, polite, and provided incredibly quick service. If you’re looking to get good quality Mexican style food (or good quality food in general) come here!

The food was as Mexican as I am Taiwanese. It was yogurt instead of sour cream . The tacos and chimichangas tasted utterly bland. I suppose if you are someone who’s never tasted Mexican food before, you can convince yourself this is Mexican food. This wasn’t Mexican food

Never had a chance to try Mexican food before, not even be able to spell the name of the food correctly, but even without any experience, it won’t be difficult to love the amazing food here. We like the taste and quality of Fajitas steak. Pulled pork comes perfect in Nachos, and the cheese in Enchiladas and Quesadillas is a charm. The deep fried ice cream is not just ice cream, it’s something from heaven! Highly recommended👍!

I must say ,dos tacos food is amazing. Ambiance was equally inviting ,Perfect place to enjoy mexican food in hualien,Taiwan. Boss and staff are very welcoming . I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to try new cousine .

The food here is served quickly and the service is very nice! Love the atmosphere and delicious drinks. The food is not spicy, and it is not greasy. Its own distinct flavors will make you want to keep eating. The desserts are very special and lovely.

Considering this is a Mexican restaurant based in a small town in Taiwan, we thought the food was nice, albeit a bit basic and on the smaller side. The service and drinks were good. We were surprised at the prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Understood that this is a Mexican restaurant catered to westerners, however, we paid just shy of GBP40 for two burritos, small nachos and a drink each, which is more than we’d expect to pay in the UK.

Delicious taco. Chips are super thin and tasty. Guacamole is a bit watery. They have fry burritos, it’s pretty good. Fry ice cream is ok. Not worth to get it.

Although you can never expect authentic Mexican Food in Taiwan, this place over charges and delivers little. The meat portions are all very small. DO NOT ORDER the soft tacos- they are essentially lettuce with a bite of meat. Nachos are tasty, but also served with little meat. My favorite dish was the fried ice cream served with Kahlua.

I love this restaurant because the food is always delicious and the price is also reasonable. The pizza is relatively small for an adult, therefore it’s best to order pizza long with another dish, like I did. Eating here reminds me of back home in the West.

It satisfied my curiosity, but not my appetite. The serving is small. No issue with the flavor though

Just visited this restaurant for lunch. Absolutely brilliant food. If you are passing through Hualien and need to fill up I would highly recommend this place. I usually highly critical of western food in Taiwan and the so called high rated places usually get a zero from me. This one time I was impressed. I think that the main reason for this is the owner (bless his heart) works alongside his staff churning out the dishes. He is a dying breed of restaurant owners that actually runs the kitchen shoulder to shoulder ensuring every dish that passes his counter is perfect. I'm no michelin star fan and think they are overrated and believe the true essence of a meal is in the passion one puts in to make it and Three Koala's in Hualien is no exception to that rule. We had the spicy wings, honey wings, cheese burger, minced beef panini and a few drinks. Every item was tasty and served with. Now to the highlight of our lunch - Dessert. We ordered 2 brownies with ice cream. I have eaten brownies all over Taiwan for the last 5 years. This was "The Best" I have ever eaten period. I never give a 5 star rating. But today "Three Koala's" deserves every corner of every star it's rated. My rating: Food - 5 Ambience - 4 Service - 5 Value - 4.5 Overall Experience - 5 PS - Apologies for the photos. We were too busy eating to bother taking pics... Cheers!!

The portion tends to be a bit small (and trust me, I'm not a heavy eater). Flavour-wise, personally, it is pretty average. However the service and the vibe really made it up for me.

The food tasted really good. I would definitely go again

Good Food Mate, looks aussie theme or owned restaurant. I see Nothing I hear Nothing I speak Nothing

I ordered the bacon, egg, cheese beef burger and it was PHENOMENAL!! The meat was perfectly juicy - not over cooked/dry and not bleeding on my plate. The French fries were nicely seasoned (and not super greasy!) and the honey mustard mayo dipping sauce was a yummy compliment to the fries. The atmosphere was clean and cozy. You must eat here and have this experience!! 🙌🏽👏🏽👍🏽 And the Oreo Milkshake? Let’s just saw it was so delicious (not too heavy) that it disappeared quite quickly. 😋🙈😆

Undoubtedly the best restaurant for pizza, salad and burgers in Hualien + warm service and friendly price.

The cheese, bacon beef burger was modestly sized but delicious in flavour with fresh beef patty ingredients. The chips were tasty. As for the pizza, it was reasonably good.

The tomato rissoto is great, but I like the cream rissoto better! Good places to hang out with group of friends.

This night market is huge and unlike the more popular ones in Taipei. Many stalls that are separated based on cuisine (aboriginal Taiwanese food and Chinese food). They do sell popular night market food but compared to the more popular night markets, the food is not as satisfying. The sweet potato balls are the best we’ve had out of all the night markets we went to. Roasted corn is not recommended, did not taste good at all. Mid food, but decent atmosphere, worth a visit.

Cool Local market

It's a very big and clean night market. Not usual small scale or road side style. It seems to me more like an area crafted out for the stalls to be strategically spaced for the safe distance. First time visiting Hua Lien. Not very impressive of the food, but the majority of the taste is welcoming. I love their Pork and Beef, It tastes just much better than SIN. The rest of them are just average.

Large market with a big walking space so that you will not feel cramped. The market is seperated bybtheir types e.g. games, food etc. The food there is above average but i tik the ones in taopei were more to our liking. Will come back if am around hualien.

This is a must stop place for foodies who love street food and variety! The way this night market is built is very well thought of in terms of recreational activities and large groups of visitors. The path was wide and spacious, which allows great open air ventilation. The night market also has recycling trash disposal areas (manned by staffs) qnd also with toilet stalls at the end of each stretch, and even a breast feeding room for mothers at the centre of the area. Though each stretch of the night market sells faily similar items: fruit juice, sausages, stinky tofu, coffin bread etc. The live singing and resting areas make this an ideal spot for a fun, loving night life! Food prices here range around NT 50~100.

Decent nightmarket, not many souvenirs

This night market is really big. There are many traditional foods and fun games in here. People are so passionate. Love it so much.

A very nice nightmarket. Plenty of different games and so many different kind of food and snacks to choose from. The market is very clean and modern. Their are many big areas with tables and chairs so you can sit down and eat the things you have bought. Something I miss a lot in other nightmarkets.

Popular night market located in Hualian. Worth a visit. Very big, selling different kinds of food, drinks and even some game stalls where you can play games there. There are also people singing live music there, so you can buy some food and drinks, and sit there and enjoy the songs. One of the best night markets that I have visited in Taiwan. Recommended if you are in Hualian!

This is a must visit as a tourist 🙂 If you like to try new things and experiment. I recommend fresh juice, young coconut, scallion pancake, dumplings and coffin toast. ✌️

The main night market in Hualian. There are a lot of street food to choose from. We are more interested in the shooting games. Some stores offer better prizes. Better to ask them before playing.

Its setting is more like build-up stalls than pop-up ones found in other night markets. The number of stalls are also much larger and more structured in its setting. It also offers sit-down tables for those who like to dine-in. The quality of food is also much higher. In addition, there are also lots of stalls selling souvenirs and other goods. On different corners, there are also buskers performing which are very entertaining.

Many stalls are closed probably due to the rain. As usual, many repeated stalls selling same things. Roast corn is totally over rated. Whole family shared one ear also cannot finish, only ate one third of it.... The baked salted fish from the the aboriginal stall is delicious!

The night market visit was a lively and immersive experience, offering a vibrant atmosphere filled with colorful lights and energetic crowds. Exploring the stalls provided a unique glimpse into local culture, with a diverse range of delicious street foods and merchandise. The tasty foods further enhanced the enjoyment of the visit.

Can look around if one is first time coming here. Food wise we tried the Guan Cai Ban and wild boar meat.

Many kinds of foods and drinks.The night market is so big and the middle have a garden,I like this place so much.

Be there early & patient is required as expect long queue due to customers huge order. Worth the wait though. Make yours with egg as taste is divine. Oily nevertheless but great food is worth the calories.

花蓮で超有名な炸蔥油餅の黄色い車のお店。平日の午後3時にも関わらず長蛇の列。今回は卵を追加して見た。ここのお店は油で揚げるタイプなので、生地とは別に卵を揚げている所がポイント。絶妙の揚げ加減で中味はトロトロの半熟🤤 この半熟卵と蔥油餅の組み合わせがたまらない。日本人ならビールが必須だ。近所のコンビニで飲みながら食べるのがgood😋一度食べたら病み付きになる旨さ。いつでも食べられる花蓮の方々が羨ましい。 青い車の蔥油餅とも食べ比べして見た。卵入りなら黄色い車のお店一択。蔥油餅単体なら青い車の方が好みかな。詳細は青い車の口コミを見て👍 (Translated by Google) A yellow car shop that sells steamed rice cakes that are very famous in Hualien. There was a long line even though it was 3pm on a weekday. This time I added eggs. This restaurant uses oil to fry the eggs, so the key point is that the eggs are fried separately from the batter. The soft-boiled egg is perfectly fried and the inside is creamy🤤 The combination of the soft-boiled egg and the rice cake is irresistible. Beer is a must for Japanese people. It's best to eat while drinking at a nearby convenience store 😋 Once you try it, you'll be addicted to it. I envy the people in Hualien who can eat it anytime. I also tried comparing it with the blue car's glutinous rice cake. If you want eggs, choose the store with the yellow car. I think I prefer the blue car if it's just the glutinous rice cake. Check out the blue car reviews for details 👍

A taste of hualien rendition of scallion pancake! Scallion is not as much as the usual version but this taste great as well with the special sauce and chilli. Lucky there is no Q when we went at 4.30pm

I mean it’s a pretty common street snack and as a Taiwanese, I personally think it doesn’t really worth the hype… You can definitely find a way-better-tasted deep fired pancake in some other places like Taichung or Taipei

Highly recommend Taiwan local food very delicious and cheap. The seller is very friendly as I cannot speak chinese but she communicates with me smoothly.

So yummy! If you come at random times during the day it’s not so crowded. Some of the best scallion pancakes you’ll ever eat, and definitely worth all the calories 😉

日曜日の昼時、到着して直ぐに注文。伝えられたのは、30分以上かかるという事。結局は、1時間程かかってやっと買えました。 生地はふわカリ、卵トロトロ、ニンニクソースも美味しい、けどここまで並ぶのは次回は避けたいです…。 事前に電話で注文してから、買いに行った方が時間的に効率がよいです。 (Translated by Google) Ordered as soon as I arrived on Sunday afternoon. I was told it would take over 30 minutes. I finally got it after about an hour. The dough is fluffy and crispy, the egg is creamy, and the garlic sauce is delicious, but I'd like to avoid lining up like this next time... It is more efficient in terms of time to order by phone in advance and then go shopping.

Had 4-5 people ahead of us but we were served very promptly. Waited around 5mins for our order of 2 to be ready when we went on a Wednesday at their opening time. Super friendly service. 10/10 worth it, must try! Get the chilli egg addons if you can take slight spice. It’s not very spicy but adds a whole new dimension to the flavour.

Absolutely worth the wait and huge line - be prepared in the sweltering heat and grab a lemon jelly drink across the street after you place your order ^^ The deep fried congyoubing is crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the interior, paired with a goey egg yolk that bursts as you bite into it, enveloped with flavorful hot sauce ... it's actually a perfect food. Must try!! Wish we had ordered twice as much 🤣

The best deep fried egg scallion I ever had. It definitely worth the long wait.

Super delicious and deeply flavoured. Taste the best when you eat it when it’s still hot and crispy!

Came on Wednesday 12.40pm, big order before so waited around 10minutes. I got the one with egg and i was mindblown. The pancake is fried to perfection and the half cooked egg yolk gave oomph to the flavor. Remember it’s the yellow truck. I also tried the other stall and feels like this one taste better. Price paid: TWD45

Not overly oily despite it being deep fried. Somebody bought at least 20 at one go so you know it's good. Egg is still runny and that's the specialty

delicious good quality scallion pancake with its famous yellow truck. Service was quite fast and there were many customers who kept on coming. I recommend to add egg to make it taste even better!

Defo worth the travel for! Scallion pancake was chewy with exploding egg yolk in the center. Take caution when you bite the yolk to prevent spilling all over! - MUST GET the one with Egg! 45 yuan!

The 葱油饼 is so heavenly!! I love the spicy, no egg version as the sauce is so savory and I can better taste the fragrance of the scallions. Tasted amazing when you eat there in the spot as it’s still hot, crisp, and savory! Just be prepared to queue as everything is freshly made (worth it though). The queue can be confusing for first timers as you need to order directly with the lady first and she will tell you your queue number. Afterwards, you just hang around until your number is called.

Delicious fried pancake a must try in the city ! You have to order first asking for with or without egg, spicy or not spicy. Then they give you a number and once it’s ready they give it to you !

Scan qrcode to order, pay at counter, given the receipt then wait inside. Packed. Not suitable for people with disabilities because quite hard to manoeuvre inside the shop. Anyway the dumplings truly juicy & the meat was fresh, worth giving a try!

The steamed dumplings are very yammy! There is a lot of soup inside the dumpling, making it feel like a Xiao Long Tang Bao. There are a few varieties of dipping sources for you to enhance the flavor of dumplings. But the Xiao Long Bao from this store is the thick skin type, which is also not bad. The shop is very small and crammed. So, one needs to wait to be seated. However, the service is very fast - foods are served immediately after you sit down. Ordering is via a QR code linked webpage.

This restaurant offers delicious buns and dumplings at very affordable prices. As seen from the menu, one set of 10 buns is going for around NT$5. Those buns and dumplings can be eaten with sweet chilli sauce or soya sauce mixed with garlics and sesame oil sauce. On top of these food, the braised pork rice is a notable dish as well. It is quite nice and is of a small portion. The only downside is that eating in the restaurant can be quite stuffy and hot.

We were going to Gongzhen baozi but it was closed tonight, so we went to Zhou Family, the one right next to it, instead. It’s our #3 stop fir our Hualien street hunting. Despite its called Xiaolongbao, it is indeed, Pork Bao. Baozhi is very delicious with very reasonable price (10 pieces for $50). Definitely a must eat place if you like Baozhi.

A pretty cheap and tasty snack of pork buns. There is usually a queue, but that moves pretty fast. Do also try the grass jelly drink from the lady directly across.

While 公正包子 (which is just beside Zhou Jia) is lot more popular, Zhou Jia in my opinion has better quality. And it's 10 TWD more expensive. Firstly, the bao skin is thinner, which means the fillings are actually slightly more. Next, the fillings are also tastier. Try this the next time you are here.

We ordered xiaolongbao and the xiaolongbao itself it’s actually quite normal but the special sauce is epic

Stumbled across this place while walking through the streets in Hualien and had to try it even though I had just eaten lunch. The xiaolongbao was amazing at just $6 NTD per piece. Way better than the ones I tried in Taipei nightmarkets.

Thick skin xiaolongbao which is quite different from the one we know in Singapore. The bun is chewy and nice. Great price and their dumpling tastes great too.

Boss is very great. I ordered wrongly and she allow me to change my order after the food served. Thx lady boss. Love you 😘

Everytime I have passed by this place on the street in a car I see that there is at least 20+ people in line. Then I think to myself, hell no I am not waiting in that line, not even for 小籠包 ! I was just walking by to the night markets and when i passed by here the late evening while they were still open and to my surprise the line wasnt very long! Everyone seems to come here for the little steam buns, they're 5 NT each and usually sold in sets of 10. The buns are just nice little bite sizes and the breading is super duper soft! I admit, if it werent for the chance that i caught them without a line, I wouldve never tried this place. Now that I have, maybe next time i would wait in line for them :)
