So much oil on the burrito that I could not justify eating it. Even though it felt like an $18 loss, I did not want it to have an $18 sick stomach impact. Also, very unfriendly. As I was ordering, the staff member seemed bothered by my warm request for her best recommendation of ‘healthiest’ vegan item on the menu. After I tasted the recommended tofu burrito, I asked a passing waitress if she also felt like this was the healthiest vegan option, and she agreed. I asked if I could trade in the burrito for as much plain rice as they could justify. At this point the staff went from mildly annoyed to thick rudeness and expressive blunt attitude. Granted I’m white and not local, so if I enjoyed dark privilege, it might have been a completely different story, but even so it seemed like more a $18 cheap service joint than an $18 nice service establishment. My friend went on her gut and split while we were waiting in line. She walked across the street to the fruit stand / Thai place and said her Vegan Thai Red Curry with Tofu was a ‘really good’ and only $12. She is a new acquaintance, so I don’t know if I would concur with her taste, but I’d guess anything would be better than my little brush with unfriendliness and heavy grease. Oh my, sorry to be so mean, but it’s true!!!


Update: my friend came back. She doesn’t waste food apparently (I didn’t know that). She took a bite and spit it out. She is also more sensitive than I (I didn’t know that either). Now she is ‘desperate’ to find something else to take the taste out of her mouth. Ok, I’m not that dramatic, but I think the verdict is: if you are AT ALL health conscious or taste conscious, do anything except eat here. Fair?

I’m hoping the owner(s) reads this, gets angry, makes adjustments and carries on participate in their callings. My intention is NOT to put someone out of business, but also to serve those who would spend $18 and experience a tummy ache and head ache on an otherwise delightful Kauai day😄
