Just Tacos-Take 2



Above is the fried calamari.

We had a meeting here a couple weeks ago. Tony ordered some calamari, and nachos for us to snack on... I gave this place another shot since the appetizers came out great. The sauces used were really good, and the portions were plenty for 3 of us to eat. I am still not sure about the prices for burritos, and other food, but for a late lunch meeting, this was a nice stop.

Here is the chicken nachos.

Grass Skirt Grill

My wife and I decided to try out a new place on the north shore. Opal
was closed, or it would have been Thai food again. Grass skirt grill
is located in the old Kua Aina spot, across Stortos and the court
house. Prices pretty normal for Haleiwa, $7&8.95 for chicken sand, and
she has the portabello mushroom sand. We got cheese fries 2.75. Pretty
good food, may need to try the fish stuff(what they are known for)
next time.
Fries & sandwiches shown below.

Will update info later.

Chucks Steak House-Koolina

For my buddy Mark's birthday, he decided that he would like to eat at Chucks. I have never been since there was a Chucks in Mililani, back when I was a little kid. Before the internet, cell phones, or even pagers. My wife, buddy and another couple went out to Ihilani for some steak.
I was a bit worried since my wife has become a vegetarian and doesn't even eat seafood. I knew they had a salad bar that came with the meal, so I figured if anything, she can eat that.
There were a couple of specials, so I tried to stick with one of those. To start off, none of us ordered any appetizers. Since we could have the salad bar, soup and bread with our meal, we passed.
The salad bar had normal vegetables, not too great. Had a few different fruits, including fresh pineapple. On the salad bar line, they also had a soup of the day, which happened to be beef vegetable. It was very tasty as well hearty. Lots of big chunks of meat and vegetables. For bread they had french roll, sourdough, and rye. On to the meal.
They had a sirloin steak dinner for 21.95. It came with a 10oz steak, rice, baked potato or fries. A teri steak for 23.95 and filet for 32 or 35, 6oz and 10oz respectively. The special was a 6oz piece of Mahi and 6oz sirloin for 23.95. For just a couple of bucks more, you got fish and steak. I asked to upgrade my steak for the bigger piece and it was $2.00 more. It was well worth the upgrade. My wife ordered the stir fry ($21.95), without any steak or chicken. They added mushrooms instead, and she loved it, said it was one of the best stir fry she has ever eaten. For dessert we shared the mud pie ($6.95).
Dinner was very good, came out exactly as ordered, and in a timely manner. With the way my wife liked the stir fry, I can see us returning very soon.

Sorry, no pictures (another good reason to return). We were so hungry, I didn't remember to take out my camera or iPhone to take a picture.

Big Kahuna's Pizza -n- Stuff


Big Kahuna's is located in the Airport Trade Center. It used to be a hole-in-the wall place, but moved here a few years back. They serve pizza, sandwiches, shakes, garlic bread balls (pictured above) and a couple of desserts. One of the cool things here is that any pizza they have on their menu, you can get in sandwich form. Tonight I decided to order the BBQ pizza as a sandwich. Thin sliced bbq chicken red onions on cheese with bbq sauce, then sprinkled with cilantro. As a pizza a 7" personal pan would run you $7.55 and a 12" medium would be $19.95. The sandwich is $7.95 (pictured below). My wife ordered the grilled eggplant as a sandwich. Grilled eggplant, garlic, 5 cheeses, carmelized onions, sweet roasted red peppers & sundried tomatoes. She liked it, but probably would have liked the club or blt better, but went healthy. The garlic cheese balls go for $5.65 (12) and $3.15 (6).
The food here is really good, always hot, and made to order. A favorite of my wife and I, along with our friends. We will definitely be back many, many times.

D's Kitchen-Mapunapuna


While driving through Mapunapuna, looking for a lighting cable, Pat and I discovered this little hole-in-the-wall. The Hawaii Lighting people said they couldn't do anything until after lunch, so we pulled up a picnic table and ordered some specials. I had the fried chicken and chili plate ($5.50). Pat ordered the special which had fried noodles, a piece of kal-bi, and bbq meat. All that for $4.75. The meat was good, but he said the noodles were just "ok." My fried chicken was boneless, skinless battered in flour, salt and pepper, then fried on a flat-top. Very juicy and a good crunch. Chili was probably from a can. You really can't go wrong for 5.50 though. If we do end up there again, I would skip the chili and go with a fried chicken/bbq meat combo.

If driving through Mapunapuna and you need a quick plate lunch, for a good price, try out D's Kitchen.

Sorry, I didn't get the times of business or the phone number...

Champa Thai-Aiea

Wanted to go to Kuru-Kuru, but the line was about 20 deep last night. We drove through the parking lot, and saw this place, Champa Thai. We (my wife and I) both love Thai (nothing beats Opals) so we thought we would stop in.
We ordered the Thai Chili Fried Rice (beef), Pad Thai (Chicken) and Fried Chicken Panang Curry. All medium to hot spice.
The food came out fairly quickly. It looked as though the rest of the restaurant had their food already, so that was a plus. The prices was fair from $8.95 and up. Overall we were satisfied with our meal, and the servers never let my water cup go dry.
