Gordos — Restaurant in Hawaii

OMG amazing. There’s still a party going on inside my mouth but I wanted to write this immediately. Our dinners were fantastic. We’d tried some of the other vegan food trucks and were disappointed at lack of flavour. No such problems here. A few of the menus options weren’t available so we settled on the vegan nachos, cali burrito and grande burrito. The man is a genius in the kitchen, they are all fantastic and each of us wants exactly the same thing next time.

When you are done head upstairs to the thrift shop(Green Gypsy Thrift Store) and find a cute gift for yourself or a friend. Then head into the north shore for...

I ordered the chipotle vegan dish which comes with 3 corn tacos.

This is the 3rd time ordering something on their menu in this last year that said it had mushrooms and none of them did. The second time the employee had said they were out of mushrooms when I asked about. Do they just not have mushrooms anymore? That's my favorite part, so it made eating just peppers and onions a bit meh... But again, the flavor is really good.
