Every visitor to Kauai must drive to the northern Na'apali Coast, so one semi-rainy day we loaded into our rented SUV and did the same. Around lunchtime we found ourselves in the tiny town of Hanalei, proclaimed by tour books as cute and charming. We were hoping to have lunch at the Postcards Cafe but unfortunately it was closed for lunch, so we wandered into Tropical Tacos across the street.
Tropical Tacos is a very clean and simple place, with a few tables, a small register where they take orders, and a kitchen behind that.
The menu is short and sweet, though I had a bit of sticker shock paying almost $10 for a taco.
I ordered a fried fish taco:
Now I live in San Francisco where taco-eating is a regular pastime. These tacos were the largest ones I'd ever seen, with remarkably puffy fried tortilla shells. Despite this sacrilege of barely being able to be called a taco, the dish itself was satisfying and filling. $10 was a bit of a rip-off, but in overpriced Kauai, what can one expect...
