SHRIMP TEMPURA TACOS
DINNER AT HOME
Tuesdays at home means Tacos and my Shrimp Tempura Tacos are some of the best ever.
These pack so much flavor that once you eat them once, you WILL BE hooked. I use
Ala Madre Low Carb Corn Tortillas to reduce the carbs without giving up flavor.

CRISPY BEEF TACOS
DINNER AT HOME
Enjoyed one of my all-time favorite meals at home. Crispy Beef and Guacamole Tacos.
These Tacos are far better than anything you can get at Mexican restaurants in Hawaii.
I use Ala Madre Low Carb Corn Tortillas.

SHIRMP TEMPURA TACOS
DINNER AT HOME
I cannot stop eating or raving about these amazing Shrimp Tempura Tacos. One of my favorite Tacos ever and so easy to prepare. I use Ala Madre Low Carb Tortillas which are lightly heated until they are just a little bit crispy. Place a cooked Shrimp Tempura in the Tortilla and cover with White Sauce (Yogurt, Mayo and Lime Juice), Tempura Sauce,
Hot Sauce and then add Cabbage, Cheddar Cheese, Pico de Gallo and a slice of Avocado.
One bite and you will be hooked on these.

CRUNCHY BAKED BEEF TACOS WITH GUACAMOLE
DINNER AT HOME
Loving my Beef Tacos baked in the oven. Completely eliminates frying the Tortillas in oil and the flavor and crunch are perfect. I use Ala Madre Low Carb Corn Tortillas and heat them a bit to make them plyable. Spray a little Olive Oil on both sides of the Tortilla. Place cheese in the middle and fold. Bake at 425 degrees until crispy. Remove from oven and fill with Taco Beef, Lettuce, Cheese, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo and Hot Sauce. One of my favorite meals in the world!

STRAIGHT OUTTA HUSK
STRAIGHT OUTTA HUSK
WAIMALU SHOPPING CENTER
98-020 KAMEHAMEHA HWY
AIEA, HI
808-765-1990
I was excited to finally get out to Aiea to try Straight Outta Husk as I have been following their success and stories on Instagram for over a year. Arrived just after noon on a Saturday and the parking lot was a traffic jam. Had to wait patiently in a long line just to park. Turns out the Waimalu Shopping Center is a giant food court with restaurant after restaurant serving up pretty much every kind of food you can think of in Hawaii. We ordered at the window from a friendly gal who took our order. Four Tacos, Tamale and Beans and Rice with tip was $55. They were out of Carne Asada which would have put this meal over $60 for lunch. Went inside Palama Market to find all of the tables taken with customers grinding Tacos and Burritos. Waited a bit and got a table. Food was brought out by really nice boy who was smiling and saying to ask for him if we needed anything else. Great service! Now the big surprise that I never saw coming.....tried all of the Tacos and the Tamale, Beans and Rice. Didn't like any of it. The Birria Taco was probably the best but the Consommé had no flavor. Super bland and added nothing to the Taco. The Carnitas was dry and also pretty bland. Adding Hot Sauce did little to improve the flavor. We both did not like the Chicken Mole at all. Very sweet and the odor of cinnamon which I found overpowering. The Tamale was huge with about 1/2 and inch of Masa. Pretty much a Masa bomb with very little filling. Kills me to write this because I was really wanting to love this place. Didn't finish the food and left hungry and disappointed.

CRUNCHY BEEF TACOS WITH GUACAMOLE
DINNER AT HOME
I can eat Tacos every day of the week and since finding A La Madre Low Carb Tortillas, we enjoy them quite often. On this Taco Tuesday, I made Crunchy Beef Tacos with Guacamole. I prefer a good Crunchy Taco over Soft Tacos so we rarely make Soft Tacos at home. These Tacos are rockin with flavor and one of our favorite meals time after time.

Readers of my blog know that I am a certified Tacoholic. Could eat Tacos every single day if they are good. Raul's Shack has some of the best Crunchy Tacos on the planet. Every trip to San Diego, we eat here one or two times. Always get the Crunchy Shredded Beef Tacos. On this visit we also enjoyed the Beef Taquitos and a huge Chicken Tostada. Prices here are super cheap compared to Hawaii Mexican food. I posted just a portion of the menu so you can see the prices. This is a Great Eats Hawaii FAVORITE!
