I then noticed it was back again this morning! I looked up the name on Instagram and found out they were serving up Mexican food! My hubby loves Mexican so we had to try it out. First off, the customer service was amazing! They talked story with us, asked tons of questions about what we wanted in each order since everything is made to order. Here's what we got: 1. Beef Nachos: we ordered the small portion but this was HUGE! It has cheese, choice of beef or chicken, onions, cilantro, & sour cream. My hubby loves nacho cheese so he loved this! There was a generous portion of beef on top too. 2. Cheese Quesadilla: this was actually a kids quesadilla but it was definitely a regular sized one! It was simple with just cheese & tortilla but, they did not skimp on the cheese. It was THICK! 3. Chicken Burrito: this was definitely the star of the show! It was HUGE! Hubby and I shared it and couldn't finish it. It was stuffed with pico, flavorful chicken, cheese, sour cream, beans & rice. It was messy but sooo good! Highly recommend! Overall, it's dangerous how often and close they are to where we live! We'll definitely be back!

HOH TALK ABOUT MAYJAHHHHH!…read more First time here but was told these Braddahs come to Ho'opili every Thursday. I was kind of skeptical from ordering, since most restaurants In Hawaii that serve Mexican food, kind of give less than what it's truly worth. So I asked the local braddah "is it a lot?" And he assured me that if I'm not satisfied he would fully refund me. So I waited..... when I was called he showed me my order- carne Asada fries, and let me tell you... it can feed more than a family of 4. I never got his name but my bro, for serving great customer service along w great food.

I miss coming to this spot with family to get plate lunches when we lived down in waianae, but since we haven't been to this location in a while we finally made the attempt yesterday from Kapolei to come down to Maili. I'm happy we did because the pastele plates we got was 1/1 mild and spicy with Mac salad and 2 scoop rice. The meat was tender and savory giving you the correct amount of flavor with seasoning and balance. You can tell they put the heart into making these. Although there are many variations to Pasteles this one is my favorite. The Mac salad is good also better than other places I've tried. The opihi I also brought and added my own sauce to it with and enjoyed it with their Hawaiian Style (Inamona) poke on the side. My only recommendation is the panadeja was more of a pulled pork look and of course that's what it is but I was looking for more of a stew consistency of which it was not. Now don't get me wrong the flavor wasn't lacking and was juicy but it was just shredded pork inside and you can see couple of black olives that's it. I will still purchase them but a slight upgrade would be nice to those, just my opinion.

A lot of varietyon the menu (pic) we went with the chicken wings (good) lau lau (ok) shoyu chicken (phenomenal) I am sure they sell out for sure!!! and the empanadas(soo good!!) They probably sell out of this too. Portions was fair and prices reasonable.

Surprisingly, the plate even came with a scoop of tuna macaroni salad. The fried noodles had great flavor, wasn't mushy and contained a good amount of spam. The kalbi was thin, but tasted good.

You know the food is good because look at the braddahs that frequent the wagons. Not the smallest so you know must be good. "THE RED WAGON " is no exception. They have their daily specials like garlic, furukake chicken, kalbi with kim chee, and etc. They also have a regular menu that you can order from which I prefer to do. My calorie killer is mix plate with 2 hamburger's, 4 pieces roast pork, 2 scoops rice and mac salad smothered in brown gravy. The price....$6.50.OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where else in the world can you get a deal like that. Not many places. Check it out.I did. Word to the wise: Don't eat there because the flies are monsters. They'll fly away with your food.

I went to their kiosk at the Mele Kalikimaka Marketplace being held at the Blaisdell Center on…read moreDecember 13th. I never had their lemonade before, so I asked for a sample. I don't think that's an unreasonable request with a new product. They may have been in business for two or three years out on the Westside, but it's new to someone from town. Other vendors at the marketplace had samples of their products to eat, so I didn't think I was being unreasonable. However the young woman told me that, 'We don't have samples. Just like McDonald's you don't get to sample their food.' Her Voice sounded slightly irritated, as well. There were four other people in the booth so I felt a little bit ashamed, and the pressure was on, so I spent the five dollars for the Palmer strawberry lemonade. I'll be honest, if I had tasted it before hand, I wouldn't have bought it. It wasn't that good. I would rather have tasted the plain strawberry tea and I might have liked that better. If you want to be successful in business, be a little bit more flexible. Just sayin'. And that's why they get three stars for this review. Number one: please don't use an irritated tone when I make a simple request. Number two: you might want to let people sample your product.

The 2-Star review is mostly based on price-to-quality ratio. I think a lot of these lemonade…read morecompanies are a little over-rated and capitalizing on it. They have 5 or so different flavors. I had the Strawberry Bomb which I believe is one of their more popular flavors. I thought it was good, but not worth $5 for a 16 oz. cup. You could taste a little bit of the strawberry and the tanginess of the li hing mui. I didn't opt to have it in a mason jar since I already have a few souvenir cups and don't have anymore room for it, and for the mason jar it's like $10 or so.

I came across this even on Facebook and Yelp. The list of local vendos piqued interest as I thought…read moreit was a perfect event to get my feet wet with local foods (I moved here 2 weeks ago). It was also conveniently located within 2 miles of the hotel I was staying at. The vendors were arranged in a circular formation with an open field in the middle. This made it easy to move from one vendor to another. The event was reminiscent of a "food fair" held annually in the Caribbean in which local vendors sell locally made foods and handmade products. There was good music, ample parking, a variety of food/drinks/dessert vendors to choose from, and inflatable bumper balls (I think this wasn't an ideal event for these balls because unless you went with a group of people, it would be awkward bouncing strangers). The timeframe for the event was perfect. The sun was setting so it was not unbearably hot. There were benches for if you wanted to sit and eat or plenty of open space in the middle of the vendors for those who brought blankets and lawn chairs. The police had a small presence at the event, which provided a sense of security and they blocked off some roads leading directly to the event, which made it safe to walk about.

The Eat The Street event occupied the entire football field so space was no problem. I've been out…read moreof school for more than a couple of decades now so I've forgotten what it was like walking across a football field. All the huge spotlights cast multiple shadows from you so at one point, I was walking with a freshly bought pot pie from Sweet Revenge and I actually thought someone was following me. I quickly turned guarding my pot pie to only realize it was my own shadow...sigh, I'm such an idiot sometimes. Anyway, this was my first ETS event so was very eager to see all the different foods to try. The line of trucks, with their generators rumbling and owners/workers calling you over to try samples seemed endless. It was actually a bit overwhelming. The 3 of us walked around the entire field 3 times before we each finally decided what we were going to eat. I got a Smoked rib plate from Tin Hut BBQ ($12.00.) The plate comes with 2 sides (I got a double helping of green salad.) The ribs were fall of the bone tender and had a nice grilled flavor, although I didn't get a strong smoky taste. The salad was fairly plain; it was like the type you'd get in a large bag of tossed greens at Costco. The greens were fresh though and they offered 3 different dressings that you served yourself. The favorite thing about Tin Hut is that they have squeeze bottles of BBQ sauce out for customers to use. They had 2 different sauces: one was an apple/chipotle and the other was unmarked. Both were delicious. I'm a saucy kinda guy so I thought that was pure awesomeness. Sorry, I don't remember the names of the trucks that my other two friends visited One of them got a deep fried, shrimp stuffed avocado and a mixed plate of ribs and shrimp. It looked really good and she confirmed that it was "Da Bomb". My other friend went to a thai food truck and had stuffed chicken wings and satay chicken sticks. He said the wings were really good but the chicken sticks were horribly dry. We were all still a bit hungry so decided to split a pot pie from Sweet Revenge. We got the pork guisantes pie and it was fantastic. The top crust was just so buttery and flaky. My only gripe is it's pricey for its size ($7.00). I really wanted to try out more trucks but was pretty stuffed by then. If you come to an Eat The Street event in the future, I'd recommend coming really hungry. ***Oh...and a little side bonus was that I got to meet Yelp! Elite Pualani P and future Elite Darren S. They were manning the Yelp! tent and were both really cool.
