Papi’s Tacos

Roaming Kahuku/North Shore area, there are plenty of yummy places to eat, unless it's late. Most of the excellent places close about 2pm after the tourists come though and head back to Honolulu.

We're in the area, so I come later sometimes to grab something late. Today my mood was fish, and that leaves little choice. So fish tacos it was. I was excited nonetheless.

Queried about what the fresh catch was and became totally excited when they said Ono!! That's my fav!

Service was quick as the called my name it seemed not even 5 minutes after ordering. The tacos looked good enough.

First bite, fish was very rough. . . Over cooked. Hummm. Maybe it's the first bite. Second bite, deeper in what was an ample fish piece, same, very tough, even chewy consistency. Uggh. Well, at this point I'm totally disappointed, but still hungry, no real choice left, time to power through.

I basically pivoted and just engulfed the tacos not for pleasure, but to fill my body. Not the night out I envisioned (I literally stepped away from a larger family get together of spaghetti and rice I wasn't feeling).

What a total disappointment. I think I'll stick with tacos on the mainland.

This taco truck doesn't foot the bill of the traditional taco trucks I'm used to.

My final question, would I go back? Nope, not even a second thought. Avoid this spot considering all the yummy places available in the vicinity.
