TEX DRIVE IN

Tex's is a casual, plate lunch place in Honokaa. It's on Pakalana St., just north of Hwy 19. There's also a second location in Pahala, on the south end of Hawaii. They are known for their malasadas, or Portugeuse style donuts. We stopped here after visiting Waipio Falls. After hiking down (and back up) to the valley, we were in serious calorie deficit.


The menu looked good, but since we ate a huge breakfast at Hawaiian Style Cafe, we just ordered malasadas. Mmmm, malasadas!




They make three kinds, plain, bavarian creme and strawberry. We got a dozen mixed.



I had the plain and the strawberry. They were really good. I didn't taste the bavarian creme, but my brother-in-law said "they ruled!"



My take: Service was good, Ambiance was good, Food was very good (only tasted the malasadas). Overall rating - 3.5 sumos.
