It’s become one of Streetgrindz’ missions to surprise Honolulu, from time to time, with the haute levels achieved by certain food truck chefs. Which is why tonight and tomorrow, if you peek into a certain warehouse in Kakaako, you’ll see Baja Style parked on one side of a curtain, while the other side looks like this.
And the food? Twelve Latin tapas, the likes of which most of us have never seen before. Cheesy chips topped with shrimp. Marinated cactus, succulent and pliant. Slow-cooked goat, a surprise homerun. And a pair of desserts to die for. Here are the pics.

When: Aug. 10 & 11 at 6:30 p.m.
Where: 661 Auahi St. in Kakaako

tapas, the best way to eat. i go to a place here in SD, La Grand Tapa. they have Spanish, Basque and Portuguese. sit at the bar, new people come and go. it reminds me of when i used to sit with my first wife and our Roppongi friends at the tempura bar in the Okura in Tokyo, way back when. life is too damn short.
