Quick Review of Xtremetacos

,

So the next generation of lunch wagons aka Lunch Wagon 2.0 is sweeping Hawaii. If your meal ain’t on wheels, then it ain’t Lunch Wagon 2.0. While most of these mobile eateries are located in town, Xtremetacos caters to the Leeward side with some treks into town.

I caught up with Xtremetacos at Stuart Plaza, right outside of Club Join Us. You can’t miss the big yellow truck known as “Ignacio.” Fearing Black Friday-like craziness, I got there early and had to wait just a bit, just enough time to snap some pics.

The menu is straightforward, but I don’t remember seeing the popular Mediterranean Falaco advertised. Also their Twitter special wasn’t announced until much after they opened. I should have asked if there were any specials. 🙁

So I ordered a chicken burrito and went with the X and XX sauces. The XX teared up my eyes a bit, so I don’t know what the potent-est XT would be like. The $6 burrito was hefty, dense with chicken, beans, and rice. While the chicken was plentiful, the taste was on the blander side of flavor. I was definitely full after eating my meal but next time, I’d go wet with enchilada sauce instead of dry.

Would I go again? Yeah, but I’d have to try one of their specials for some extreme tastes.

Signs of Hawaii: Goats 4 Sale

, ,

I thought a sign advertising Goats 4 Sale was isolated to the Windward countryside, but no. Apparently goat sales are popular on the Leeward side too.

The advertising must have worked since the signs are no longer there.

Hawaii Five-0 and Ridemakerz? Nope.

, ,

This could be a missed opportunity for both the Hawaii Five-0 television series and toy company Ridemakerz. Sadly, Ridemakerz does not offer a customizable version of the Chevy Camaro featured in Hawaii Five-0. Ridemakerz offers Corvettes, Challengers, Mustangs, and Vipers but no Camaros.

Woulda been kinda neat to give a 5-0 toy Camaro to car enthusiasts for Christmas, or kids coulda played “Book’em Danno!”

Anyways, here’s the Camaro in action.

Waimanalo Has a Pumpkin Patch

, , , , ,

Out on the Windward side tucked away near the Ko’olau Range is Waimanalo Country Farms. Starting this year, this family farm started their own pumpkin patch for kids to pick carvable pumpkins.

Not as sprawling as the popular Aloun Farms pumpkin patch, the Waimanalo Pumpkin Patch is a good alternative for the Windward side. Although the farm is smaller, there are lots of pumpkins, a hay ride, a corn maze, and additional activities for the kids.

Here are some pics of what you can expect.

Bruno Mars: Amazon’s November Special

, ,

Bruno Mars’ latest, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, is part of Amazon’s $5 music special for the month of November. It’s an awesome collection of music featuring a range of styles for Bruno’s lovely voice (yes, I said lovely).

And for only five bucks, this deal is even lovelier.
