Found Shoguani Tacos at 755 Kapahulu Avenue where several Food Trucks congregate during the week. I wanted to get a real taste for their tacos so me and a friend ordered one of each off the menu.

First off was the Mardi Gras Cajun Shrimp Taco ($7.50). A flour tortilla filled with Cajun spiced shrimp and grilled onions, tomato and jalapeños. The Cajun seasoning was spicy hot and the jalapenos added more heat so this baby was quite hot. Not a bad Shrimp Taco though. The South of the Border, Mexican Taco ($6.50) was filled with seasoned ground beef, tomato, onion, sour creme, jalapeno and just a bit of cabbage and cheese. This tasted like a ground beef taco or burrito that you can make at home and did not really do it for me. The Zeus's Glory, Greek Lamb Taco ($8.00) was just a bunch of Lamb cubes on a tortilla. They totally forgot to add anything else to the taco. Missing was the tomato, red onion, olive and Tzatziki Sauce. Now I liked the flavor of the Lamb, but there was nothing else in the taco. I would have to go back and re-order this taco to truly give my opinion. The fact that they guy making the taco could forget the ingredients really ticked me off. The Osaka Joe, Japanese Taco ($7.00) totally confused me. What tasted like Kalua Pork covered in Bean Sprouts. I ate two bites of this $7 taco and threw in the towel. Shogunai Tacos are unique. Unique in a good way? I really did not care for them. These are ingredients thrown in a flour tortilla and called tacos. Not really the kind of tacos I crave, but good for a lot of their fans who follow the truck.
