Mexican Food in Hawaii? What?

Thats right, in the heart of Hawaii there are places where you can actually get really good Mexican food. When I lived in the Southwest I was spoiled by the fact that I could get Tamales, Albondigas or Menudo when ever I pleased. Now that I am in Hawaii I crave those things. In my town I can go to one of three places, but my favorite is Cholo's, see why here.

One thing that my brother and I enjoyed doing when we were younger was to go mountain biking.

At the end of the road, past Waialua is Kaena Point. This is where your next adventure begins. Read this article for more information.
