Arrived at the Honolulu International Airport and my Hawaiian Airlines flight was on the opposite side of the airport lounge that I like to frequent. That meant I would have to spend money on a preflight cocktail rather than enjoying the free stuff in the lounge. Besides finding a Starbucks, there was a Gordon Biersch near Gate 28. The place was completely filled on this afternoon. Most people were watching the World Cup Soccer Games while enjoying some food and a beer. I was quickly greeted by a great waitress who despite the crowds did an excellent job waiting on tables. Her service was first rate considering the amount of tables she was covering and what seemed to be a late lunch slam. I ordered up a Marzen brew and was happy to find that it was nice and cold. I did not have much time and ordered the Churrasco Steak Tacos ($16.99) knowing that these could be made quickly. I was thinking of who the heck pays $17 for two tacos. Seems a bit high to me so they better be good. The tacos arrived quickly and I was surprised to find that they included a dark corn tortilla shell and a flour tortilla. Two tortillas per taco. I remember biting into my first taco and thinking that this was really good texture. Enjoyed having both the hard and soft tortillas. The meat was moist and had good flavor. Not a bad taco. The rice and beans were tasteless and really should have had a sauce or something to impart some flavor. At $17 this plate should be kicked up a bit. All in all these were decent tacos. Would of liked more sauce and maybe some heat.
