Taco Tuesday at Hapa J’s
A lot of us can admit that two of our favorite types of food are Hawaiian and Mexican. After surfing there’s nothing better than a big ol breakfast, carne asada, or Cali burrito and after Hula practice nothing beats bringing the halau over to a restaurant that serves a mean plate lunch. Those of you stuck on the Rock know darn well that you crave real Mexi food and those of us on the mainland know that Poke galore is waiting back home. Good thing for us, Hapa J’s just married the two (thus the name Hapa J’s) and I was invited to the ceremony. (I’m not stoked on how my food photos came out, so just know that everything taste way better than I made it look.)
Haole J's Black Bean Dip w/ Choke Garlic and Cheese. The "magical fruit" made to perfection.
Coconut Shrimp Tacos w/ asian slaw, yuzu vinaigrette topped with mango sweet n sour.
Chicken Katsu Tacos, nappa cabbage and drizzled with Katsu sauce.
Breakfast Pocho- Scrambled eggs, sliced Portuguese sausage, grilled onions.
Kalbi Kim Chee tacos w/ asian slaw yuzu vinaigrette.
There are plenty more items on the Taco Tuesday menu. Average taco price is tree (3) bucks and you can accompany that with a $2 Primo Beer or a Li Hing Margi. Other items on the menu include Ahi Poke Tacos, Kalua Pig Tacos and Tofu Tacos. I keep telling ya’ll that San Clemente is where it’s at cuz Hapa J’s put them on the map (Musubi Map that is!)
In honor of this Katchi Katchi type menu, let me entertain you with these videos. (If you’re at work no foget to turn’um down, yeah?):
