• Taquerias a little bit Tijuana, a little bit SoCal
Santa Barbara's La Super-Rica Taqueria was a favorite of Julia Child, and it would be hard for most folks not to become fans of at least one of these inexpensive Mexican-style fast-food eateries.
• At Lucy's Grill, it's the portion sizes that impress
Lucy's Grill 'N Bar in Kailua, one of the most popular eateries on the Windward side for its self-described "Euro-local food" and fresh fish dishes, has a reputation that builds expectations.
• Feeling at home in Rome with Italian restaurateur
The owner of Mediterraneo on South King Street recently opened Pane and Vino, a wine bar in Waikiki. These restaurants have a kind of charming ambiance rarely found in Honolulu.
• Little corner of Bangkok has nestled into Kapahulu
Bangkok Thai may not be the prettiest Thai restaurant here, but certain dishes such as the whole fried fish, green curry and crabmeat fried rice really deliver a heady rush of intense sweet, sour, salty and hot Thai flavors.
