Going off the low carb diet for you guessed it - Tacos.   Just had to try some of the Birria Tacos at the new El Mexicano restaurant on Waialae Avenue.  Entered to find the place empty but super clean.  Our temperatures were checked, hands sanitized and contact tracing info taken before sitting down at a table near the window.  Waitress was super friendly with excellent service and attitude.  They even introduced themselves by name and made sure we were enjoying our meal.  I went for the Birria Tacos ($18).  The Tacos arrived with the Onion and Cilantro on the outside which is great for presentation but I wanted them inside the taco.  Wish I would have requested more Cilantro and Onion to go inside the Tacos.  The Shredded Beef was moist and flavorful and I enjoyed the flavor of the Tortillas.  The Consume however was a bit bland and tasteless.  Really did not add much to the flavor or enhance the Tacos.  Despite this I liked the Tacos and would go back and enjoy them again.  My Wife did the Taco Trio ($15) with  Carne Asada, Carnitas and Al Pastor with Pineapple Tacos.  We both liked the Carne Asada best with the Carnitas coming in second.  The Al Pastor was good but a bit dry.  Nice amount of meat in all of the tacos and the flavors were better than most restaurants in Honolulu.  Would love to return to try a Carne Asada Burrito.  We liked the food here and the service and attitude of staff was just as good!
