The first Brew Moon I’ve been to was the one located on the second floor of Local Motion in Waikiki. I don’t know if any of you have been there as of late but Local Motion is out of business. I think its a shame because Local Motion is like a land mark. I remember seeing it on television on the Real World and thinking what a cool ass store. Anyhow, there’s another Brew Moon in Hawaii located on the second floor in The Ward Center. I met up with a few friends for happy hour.

The last time I had some lettuce cups was at Chilis and they sucked dingle berry ass. But that was a long time ago so I decided to give it another shot. The presentation was a little sloppy and the food was salty. I’m pretty sure it was ground up chicken that was used. When I think of lettuce cups I think of Asian flavors, this tasted like want to be but just aint happening Asian flavors. The dish cost me $8.95.

But, everything did taste and look fresh

Ray and I were doing one of our drive around the island till we find some place to eat drives. We drove and drove till we ran out of patience and stopped at the nearest plaza. We spotted Taste of Hong Kong and said winner winner chicken dinner. Lets eat.

It was nice and spacious inside.

Ray and I shared, as usual and boy am I glad we did. Look at how much food they give on their lunch special. The Plate Lunch Special was only $6.75 and came with Chicken chow mein, sweet and sour spare ribs, pot roast pork, 2 fried won ton and steamed rice. You could sub fried rice for an extra .75, which is what we did.

The won tons weren’t fresh, and the pot roast was a little fatty but for what we pay for, I was pretty content. We even had left overs, but I’m sure like everyone else, forgot them when we left.

This lunch special will definitely fill you up if you like to eat a lot.

One day Ray saw three Mexican’s wearing cowboy boots, hat and a pancho walk into Jose’s. The first thing that came to his mind was, “if the real Mexican’s are going there for lunch, the food must be authentic.” So the next time we were in the mood for Mexican the first thing that came to mind was Jose’s Mexican Restaurant, you know, the place where the real Mexicans go.

The chips and salsa here were free and yummy.

For starters we had three beef taquitos, $9.95. Why do taquitos always come in threes? It doesn’t seem like a practical amount to me. Anyhow, I really enjoyed my one and a half rolled taco. As you can see it really had some girth to it, which means to me more meat inside. It also came with sour cream and quacamole.

We decided to share the Chicken Fijitas, $15.95. It came with rice, beans, sour cream and totillas. Even though it wasn’t served on a sizzling skillet, I thought the fijitas had great flavor. The onions and peppers were sautted nicely and the chicken had a little kick to it from all the pepper.

By the end of our meal, we were stuffed like little pinatas. The chicken fijitas alone would of been plenty, but the taquitos were so good. I also hear they have great lunch specials to choose from, so bring the whole office gang and don’t forget to tip.
