Craving Crunchy Tacos so we hit one of the only places on Oahu where you can buy them.  While it seems the Tacos here have gotten smaller and have less meat and cheese, they still kind of satisfy my Taco cravings.  I like the Chicken Enchiladas here too.  My Wife had the Tacos with Rice and Beans and was not too happy.  She does not like this place.

Craving Tacos and and Enchilada so we hit Jose's for some lunch.  Always amazed when I walk in here as it has not changed in 30 years.  I like the Shredded Beef Tacos and Chicken Enchilada.  It's no Javier's, but what the heck were in Hawaii.

Surprised that my Daughter wanted to go to Jose's for some Mexican food because normally she says no when I get my taco cravings.  She normally sticks with a Quesadilla but this time went for a Cheese Enchilada with Beans and Rice ($13.95).  I tasted the Beans and Rice and Enchilada and thought all were pretty good.  She liked it too.  I always stick with (3) Shredded Beef Tacos ($13.95).  The Beef has flavor unlike most Hawaii Mexican restaurants.  I always take the lettuce they place on the plate and stuff it into the tacos.  These are the best Crunchy Tacos I have found in Hawaii.

Craving some Crunchy Tacos so we headed over to Jose's in Kaimuki.  I did not even need to look at the menu and just ordered the (3) Crunchy Shredded Beef Tacos ala carte ($12.95).  No Beans and Rice.  The waitress was quick to bring water and Chips and Salsa.  I like the Salsa at Joses and usually go through two or three bowls.  On this visit the Shredded Beef did not seem fresh and the Tacos did not have the taste I remember from my last visits when I announced that these were the best Crunchy Tacos in Hawaii.  Got to take that back now and look for another first choice.  Service here always good and fast.  They do a great job taking care of customers.
