I liked the Crab Bucket. Thought the food was quality and tasty. The two guys working there during lunch hustled and provided good service. We went with the #4 Combo of King Crab, Shrimp, Clams and Crawfish ($70). I was really happy with the amount and size of the King Crab. It was absolutely delicious. The Corn was also super sweet, spicy and oh so good. Really liked everything here. Only complaint was the amount of Crawfish. Not too many and they were really small with very little meat. Other than that, I would love to return and eat here again.

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES - HONOLULU TO OAKLAND
HAWAIIAN AIRLINES
HONOLULU TO OAKLAND
Finally hit the Platinum Level on Hawaiian Airlines which mean there are opportunities for First Class Upgrades when flying to the the Mainland. I went online to check in and up popped a message asking if I would like to upgrade from Coach to First Class. I did it using two coupons issued by Hawaiian Airlines to Platinum customers. It took a call to the reservation center to use the coupons but everything worked out and I got the First Class seat. The flight was comfortable and on time as most Hawaiian flights are. Service was OK but not as good as other flights on Hawaiian. The evening flight included dinner. I went with the Mozzarella, Tomato, Watermelon and Beet Salad. It was absolutely delicious. The Grilled Marinated Portabello Mushroom with Lentils was also good. Actually enjoyed the Lentils and Roasted Tomato. Portabello Mushrooms were very filling and tasted great with the Balsamic Dressing. The Chilled Ramen Salad did not go over well with my Wife and Daughter. They also were a bit disappointed with the Maui Red Wine Braised Short Ribs. Said it was a bit dry and tasteless. Hey no complaints from me. I loved the upgrade, food and flight.

If you are ever near Los Angeles International Airport and have an extra hour, please enter Tito's Tacos into your GPS and go eat some great Tacos. I love Tito's Tacos. Probably one of my favorite Taco Stands ever. The place is always busy but the food comes out fresh and hot every single time. A Tito's Taco with Cheese is only $2.70 and when you get your Tacos in the box it includes a huge portion of fresh Tortilla Chips and a big bowl of Salsa. The Tacos are simple. Meat, Cheese and Lettuce. Add some Salsa and you have feast of flavor.

Was not too impressed with the food at Taqueria El Bajio in Santa Barbara. Great portions and ok flavors but nothing that I would go back again for.
