What I've also realized is that great things happen on a rainy day. The last time we went to Eat the Street, it was raining cats and dogs. But if you can survive the rain, in turn, there are no lines/no wait and lots of parking. This is exactly what happened at Zaratez. I went on a particularly rainy, overcast day and found a parking space relatively easily and was the first in line! Food was fresh and came out in less than 5 minutes. They also have a little overhang where you order that shielded me from the rain while I waited. Perfect. The only thing a little less than perfect? I'm not so much a spicy food fan, so while in my car eating, with windows up (since it was raining), I was overheating!! Spicy Mexican food in a closed-up car equals "no bueno." But hey, I'd do it again to have another perfect Carnitas Taco.
Other info: located on Mokihana Street in Kapahulu, they are in a parking lot with ample parking, next to Waiola Shave Ice. Cash only. Hours: Tues-F 1130am-8pm, Sat 1130am-4pm.

| I ordered 3 tacos: Chorizo, Carnitas, and Carne Asada. I'm not a big Chorizo fan, but it was tasty. My favorites were the Carnitas and Carne Asada. I love that they were all loaded with generous amounts of onions and my favorite, cilantro! I also recommend giving a bit of squeeze of lemon for a citrusy kick. |

Heard the Mulitas were wonderful as well. Meat and cheese between 2 corn tortillas. Sounds like a quesadilla, but who's asking! This was just as great as the tacos. I asked for a Carne Asada Mulita... and it was gone in minutes. |
