42-1027 Hawaii Belt Road Paauilo, Big Island Hawaii…read more Legit. I know now what a delicious tamale tastes like. Thank you Reinaldo for opening my eyes and taste buds to the best tamales in Hawaii. Masa from a bag but not dry or hard. The tamales here are flavor FULL with very tasty fillings of beef, cheese and green chile, chicken and pork. At $5 each they are expensive compared to what you can find in LA. But hey! We live in the middle of the ocean and it's cheaper than a plane ride. Reinaldo honed his skills while working at the Frontera Grill in Chicago. Not in the kitchen as he will humbly tell you, but as a server...Still, he picked up the needed knowledge to really turn out truly delicious offerings. Cash only! So I ended up driving 9 miles to the nearest ATM and back to buy more tamales to take home to Oahu. Looking forward to my next meal here and a little storytelling about Reinaldo's world travels. Park out front next to the sign that says tamales!

Saw someone's review saying their chicken had no flavor, I think they must have been mistaken! Definitely come by and try the chicken. Can't vouch for the other meat since we didn't get any to try. Note their hours and days because they are a road side operation and not every day! Come early since once they run out they're out for the day. They take tap pay!

Stopped by for empanadas. The gracious owner apologized that he was working on a large order but…read morewas able to fulfill our small order quickly. Ordering can be done online or from tablet at the store. We liked Grandma's Empanadas best with its delicious ground pork and Puerto Rican spices. Pollo Loco was slightly dry and more one-dimensional. The crust was thin and super crispy. Also tried Guava Quesitos from "Kona Sweets Bakeshop" they had at the counter and were glad we did: guava and cream cheese in puff pastry was match made in heaven. Other goods from "Kona Sweets Bakeshop" are also available at the cafe next door.

Their standards are good and they also have a barrel program which has some room for improvement, but is coming along. Where else can you find a barleywine in Hawaii. They also make their own ginger beer and their Dark and Stormy was delicious. My favorite beers were the barleywine and the tripel. I tasted 8 total. The tasting room is well appointed. I appreciate a comfy bar stool. The bathroom was nice and clean. They also have food trucks or food daily. This day they had Uncle Bob's smoked ribs, with truffle mac and cheese, and a cornbread muffin. Probably the best ribs I have ever had. They were seasoned so well I didn't even need sauce. Next time you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. They also have a crowler machine for to go.

We then went upstairs which you can actually rent for private parties. It was cozy and sexy. Only downside we bought a brew on tap a a Moscow mule price was $23 which in my opinion was a bit pricey.

Honestly, everything you eat here is going to be delicious. You can tell Chief Soto puts his heart and love into every single meal he makes, and you can taste it in every bite. This isn't just good food--it's food made with passion. 10/10, absolutely amazing! Also best sunsets ever

We ate here twice, once on the first night and then again on our last night. The service, staff,…read moreand food was great. If you can, sit in Toni's section. She's a great server and has great energy. The entire staff was were warm and friendly. We met the chef on both occasions and he remembered us from our visit night. The restaurant is huge and has many different seating areas. You can sit at the bar, behind the bar, on a patio overlooking the beach/ocean, or inside. It's even a fun place to just meet friends for a drink. When you walk, take a minute to appreciate the large, round space, and lighting structures. Funny enough, even though we came twice, most of us ordered the same dishes from the first night. Between our two visits, we got the fresh catch crudo, oyster crudo for appetizers. Both were great. I loved the oysters because of the unique flavors. For mains we got lamb chops, paella, filet, and beef ragout. The lamb chops were so good, I ordered them during both visits. I loved the smattering of cannellini beans. They had a fresh citrus flavor to them. It brightened up the dish. The olives and mint chutney were great accompaniments too. The filet was another dish that was ordered on both visits. The truffle gratin potatoes were delicious and came served in its own cast iron dish to stay hot. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish too. The beef ragout was nicely presented atop a bed of thick ribbons of pasta. It was a nice twist, rather than a traditional bolognese. The paella came with a variety of mixed seafoods and saffron rice. It was served in its own skillet. Desserts were also great. We got the Spanish cheesecake and the warm chocolate torta. Both were really good.
