JUST TACOS - LPGA LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP


JUST TACOS
LPGA LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP
KO'OLINA GOLF COURSE 

Happy to see a Just Taco's booth set up between the practice putting green and driving range at the LPGA Lotte Championship at Ko'Olina.  For $9 you get two Taco's and two Taquitos or Empanadas.  I went with one Chicken Taco and one Steak Taco with two Taquitos.  Tacos served on soft corn tortillas and topped with lettuce, cheese, salsa and a little sour creme. I liked the Taquitos.  The Chicken and Steak Taco's were a bit dry and tasted pretty much the same.  There was way too much meat in each taco.  Could not pick them up and eat them like a regular taco.  Ended up using a fork.  Really liked the kids working the tent. Very professional and really interested in finding out if we like their food.  Even invited us to visit their restaurant located just down the street in Ko'Olina.

BC BURRITO

BC BURRITO
HONOLULU, HAWAII

I ate at BC Burrito years ago when they first opened. Back then, I remember that it was terrible and never went back.  The place has remained open for many years so I decided to give it another try.  When you enter BC Burrito it seems like a mess.  Attention to details or cleanliness is not a priority.  Neither is customer service.  We did not receive a "hi", "bye" or anything else.  We approached the counter and looked up at the menu that is on the wall.  All Burritos and one Taco option.  You are supposed to select your filling (Chicken Mole, Chicken Bay Leaf, Carnitas, Chile Verde, Veggie, Carne Asada, Soyrizo or Shirmp) and then add your toppings.  A Regular 10" Burrito is $6.29.  Add $.50 for Cheese and $1.00 for Guacamole.  The Gutbuster Burrito with two 12" tortillas will set you back $15.  A Super Burrito in a 12" tortilla with cheese, rice, beans, filling and salsa is $7.29.  We ordered a Regular Burrito ($6.29) with Chicken Bay Leaf.  First off the burrito or JalapeƱo Tortilla that we chose smelled terrible.  The chicken tasted like it was just boiled.  Very little flavor.  After two bites I threw in the towel on this dog.  The Carne Asada Taco ($4.49) consists of two overlapped 6" corn tortillas, beef, melted cheese, black beans and salsa.  This taco should not have been served.  The tortilla was so old that it was cracked in pieces.  You could not pick up either end of the taco without the tortilla breaking apart.  Never could get to eat this like a taco.  We had to get a fork and pick out the Carne Asada that was more like stewed meat.  It had flavor, but not like a Mexican restaurant.  BC Burrito is not my favorite.  It really has no Mexican flavors with the exception of the salsa.  We bolted down the street after eating here to have a good lunch.  Will never return to this place.  
UPDATE 3/13 - BC BURRITO CLOSED.  SOMETIMES I CALL EM RIGHT

TACOS AND MORE MEXICAN KITCHEN

TACOS AND MORE MEXICAN KITCHEN
WAIANAE, HAWAII

Visited the Waianae side of the Island and stopped into Tacos and More to try some Mexican food.  The Chicken Nachos ($9.95) include a mix of cheese wiz and shredded cheese with refried beans, sour creme and guacamole.  These were not bad but probably filled me up.  The Assorted Tacos ($11.95) were o.k.  I tried the Carne Asada, Carnitas and Shredded Beef.  You can choose crunch or soft shells.  The Beans and Rice ($2.50) were cold.  My friend had the Pork Burrito ($9.95) and loved it. I liked the fresh salsa served with the chips and the entrees are served with a red and green sauce on the side.  I really liked the red sauce on all of my tacos.  This is a family business that has grown over the years.  They continue to expand as business improves.  The addition of a liquor license has really boosted sales and growth.
