TACO KABANA

Another day in downtown Honolulu serving jury duty.  Stopped into Taco Kabana to try their Street Tacos.  Ordered a Fish, Carne Asada and Chicken Taco.  Definitely liked the Carne Asada best.  Fish second and Chicken third.  Not bad and I would go back again.

Spending more time in Maui as we are expanding our business and building out a larger warehouse.  Treated my team to lunch at Tight Tacos Maui after a contractor recommended the place that morning.  I went for three Tacos.  Carne Asada, Carnitas and Fish.  All were very good but I liked the Fish Taco best.  One of the best I have had in Hawaii.  Second fave was the Carne Asada.  I ordered the Tacos "Super" style which includes Guacamole and Sour Cream.  Liked the Guacamole but there was way too much sour cream on the tacos for me.  Wouldn't order like that again.  The tacos come with a side and I went for the Esquites which is a Sweet Corn Salad.  It was ok.  I came away from this meal saying "these tacos are legit".
Legit they are.  I would go back for the Fish Taco soon.  Also liked the online ordering.  Super simple and fast.

SENOR PEPE' AND SBARRO - ALA MOANA FOOD COURT

SENOR PEPE' FRESH
MEXICAN GRILLE AND
SBARRO ITALIAN 

Pleased that the wife wanted tacos while shopping at the Ala Moana Shopping Center.  We went to the Makai Market Food Court where you can find all of Hawaii's ethnic foods.  There is Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Philippines, Vietnamese, Hawaiian, Italian, Mexican, American restaurants plus a steak house, sandwich shop, panini shop and more.  I like Señor Pepe Fresh Mexican Grille.  Hawaii really doesn't have any good Mexican joints so Señor Pepe shines.  I always order tacos.  Fish, Shredded Beef and the Street Tacos are my favorites here.  Two tacos and your choice of three side dishes runs around $9.  I went for the Carne Asada (steak) Street Style Tacos.  Double corn tortillas filed with seasoned and grilled steak.  Topped with onions and cilantro.  Pretty simple but so good.  I had the Chipotle Cole Slaw, Jicama and Cucumber Salad and beans as sides.  My wife enjoyed one Fish Taco and a Carne Asada Taco with beans, rice and a fresh vegetable salad with garbanzo beans.  The Boss went for the Sbarro Pizza.  She chose the thick crust because it looked so good on the counter.  You can get a large slice of pizza and choice of a side and drink for around $8 at Sbarro.

MERRIMANS MARKET CAFE - WAIKOLOA VILLAGE

MERRIMANS MARKET CAFE
WAIKALOA VILLAGE
BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII

I was really hungry when we landed on the Big Island.  We stopped at the Kings Shops which is right across the street from the Hilton Waikoloa.  There were very few options to eat at so we hit Merrimans because the hostess out front had a nice smile.  We chose to eat inside and were quickly seated by friendly staff.  We decided to order a pizza and fish tacos and split them.  The pizza was terrible.  I have had better pizza out of a frozen box.  The little pizza was around $10.  We could not split the Fish Taco because there was only one on the plate for $15.  Really disappointed with this place.

RUBIO'S FRESH MEXICAN GRILL

RUBIO'S FRESH MEXICAN GRILL
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA 

I tasted my first Rubio's Fish Taco some twenty years ago while living in San Diego.  We used to eat at Rubio's several times a week because the tacos and taco sauce were great and the prices were dirt cheap.  Much has changed since those first fish tacos near San Diego State in the 1980's.  Rubio's has become a full blown Mexican Restaurant with much more than their Original Fish Taco.  A trip to Southern California is not complete for our family if we don't visit Rubio's at least once.  We always get the Fish Tacos ($5.69) and occasionally the Carne Asada ($6.89). These prices are for (2) tacos and include beans and tortilla chips. The fish tacos here have been copied by just about every restaurant in California.  The beer battered filets are topped with fresh cabbage and white sauce.  You can go to the salsa counter and choose from four different salsas.  I go for the hottest and add some chopped onion with cilantro along with some jalapeno.  Rubio's is hands down one of my favorite fast food restaurants.

RUBIO'S FISH TACOS













RUBIO'S FISH TACO

There are very few places that I can say that I have been eating at whenever possible for over twenty years. I was addicted to Rubio's Fish Tacos when I lived in San Diego in the 1980's. Back then, they had a limited menu featuring the best fish tacos on earth. We would eat at the Rubio's near San Diego State on a weekly basis. All we ever ordered was the fish taco. Nothing else. The Rubio's menu today includes burritos, tacos and most other Mexican staples. I am a purist when it comes to Rubio's. Fish tacos and nothing else. Rubio's uses a beer batter to coat the fish. The taco is served on a corn tortilla that is the perfect thickness so it does not break when you eat it. The white sauce and cabbage make it the fish taco of my youth. They have added a salsa bar now where you can get four different salsas with four different heat levels. The bar also includes jalepenos, hot carrots and cilantro and onion garnish that is great on the tacos. I love the hot red sauce. It is what takes the taco to another level. This is a good fish taco and always consistent.

JOSE'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT

JOSE'S MEXICAN CAFE AND CANTINA

Finding good Mexican food in Hawaii is nearly impossible. No one gets it quite right. Joses is close to home and does a pretty good job. I like the taco's, but they are a bit expensive. ($13) for three. They seem to have gotten smaller over the years. I get the shredded chicken and beef. We also tried the fish taco this visit. It was just o.k. Joses is a great place for a cold beer, chips and salsa and some Mexican food. I would go here more often if my family would let me. They can only take so much Mexican. I could eat it every day and be happy.
