Waiola Shave Ice and Zaratez Mexicatessan

A couple of weeks ago,  due to my poor driving skills I unexpectedly found myself in Kapahulu.  I'd been wanting some Waiola shave ice anyway, so I made a stop.  I parked in a lot adjacent to Waiola and noticed a lunch truck. As I approached it I saw the sign Zaratez Mexicatessan.

I called Wendell and asked him if he wanted to try something from Zaratez and he asked me to get him a burrito.

I ordered the Burrito and Taco Combo (Beef) for Wendell and a Chicken Quezadillas for me.

This was maybe the best quesadilla that I ever ate.

I opened up the taco for you to see.  See the cilantro and onions!

The burrito was HUMANGUS!  Wendell shared it with his dad. He said it was ono.
