Lucy's Taqueria, Hilo, and What We're Eating in Hilo, Hawaii

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Hilo day!  After all that rain, we deserved it!  

​Today I found myself in the mood for some Mexican food, so after finishing up the grocery shopping, I headed over to Lucy's Taqueria for some take-out lunch. They are located at 194 Kilauea Avenue.  I arrived around 11:30, and it was filling up quickly. 

Pictured above:  My Fish Tacos (absolutely wonderful flavors). I wholeheartedly recommend them.  Mr. L had the Fajita Burrito with Chicken. Although he tried hard, he couldn't finish the burrito -- not because he didn't like it, but because they are huge!  There is parking. Bathrooms are clean.  The place is kid-friendly (including a play area) and there is also a bar area.  Staff is friendly and helpful.  Ordering is self-serve - you order, pay, and pick up at the counter, and then seat (and eventually bus) yourself. 

After that big lunch, I figured we'd better have a light dinner (and take a walk beforehand).  

Sunday:  Shrimp Cocktail with Celery and Cocktail Sauce; Crackers and Red-Pepper Hummus
Monday:  Mushroom Burgers with Tomatoes and Lettuce; Fries
Tuesday:  Kalua Pork (homemade) with Cabbage and Rice
Wednesday:  Grilled Chicken; Yukon Potatoes with Herbs; Sliced Tomatoes
Thursday:   Pasta with Pesto and Leftover Chicken;  Spaghetti Squash; Tossed Salad
Friday:  Chili
Saturday:  Salmon and Mushroom-Pea Risotto

Have a great week, everyone!  -C. Ironing
