Buho Cocina y Cantina

Buho Cocina y Cantina is Waikiki's premier rooftop Mexican restaurant and nightlife destination, perched on the roof level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza at 2250 Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu. The spacious open-air terrace features multiple seating areas, fire pits, and sweeping views over the Waikiki skyline, with partial Friday evening fireworks views adding to the festive atmosphere. The kitchen serves modern Mexican cuisine with a local Hawaiian twist, using fresh ingredients across an inventive menu of tacos, shared plates, and hearty mains, while the bar pours an extensive selection of tequilas, margaritas, and tropical cocktail creations. Signature events such as Margarita Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, and the monthly Cinco de Buho rooftop fiesta with live music and salsa dancing make Buho a lively and colorful gathering place above the heart of Waikiki.
