    A friend took me there earlier tonight for my birthday. We got there during happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by the prices and number of items on the happy hour menu. It ends at 5:30 and lots of places end it at 5 so we started out with a good impression. She got the Kailua pig quesadillas and I got fish and chips. She ordered the green beans as well. Everything was delicious! Our waiter was friendly and was very familiar with the food and drinks on the menu. My cocktail was called something crush. Yummy! Overall a really great experience.

    We had our Christmas dinner here. The staff was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive and kind. There was a female staff member that came over and gave my 5 yr old a Christmas coloring page and crayons. The atmosphere is chill and nice. The food was good. The scallops were amazing. Recommend for sure.

    This was our first time at Mariposa and we loved it! We had the Pan Scallops, Laksa Curry, and Salmon Ochasuke and we were more than pleased with our selections. I had the Haleakala nonalcoholic drink that was such a treat as were the popovers with strawberry butter. For dessert we had Mango Cheesecake and Kona Coffee Gelato. The staff were so nice and attentive and made our first visit a wonderful experience! We are returning!!
