HONOLULU, HAWAII
I was working downtown this week with a rep from California. We decided to get a quick lunch on Fort Street Mall across from Hawaii Pacific University. We both saw a taco joint and said lets go. La Taqueria De Ramiro serves up fast Mexican food at affordable prices. I tried a carne asada taco and chicken tostada with beans and rice. My friend had a beef burrito with beans and rice. The carne asada taco was filled with Mexican rice and refried beans and a good bit of meat. It was not what I expected and lacked flavor. The tostada was large but the chicken tasted like it was just boiled in water with little or no seasoning. The burrito was huge for around $6. My friend loved it. Not much here to make me want to return. The people watching on Fort Street Mall was good.
heading east on the north side after Hunauma Bay and coco head at the foot of some green and rainy mts is a little mexican food place named Bueno Nalo, it is run by a guy from New Zealand, has a wife and 4 or 5 kids (he told us). He growe his own spices I think he told us, it is unairconditioned like an old service station. He served up GREAT mexican food, and had no liquor liscence. I am from San Antonio, Texas and I know good mexican food! He is a very personable man too. We ate there 2 or 3 times and loved it.
