I luv Haleiwa, so went there to eat at Cholo's last night. The food was not bad, nor was the ambiance, but it was NOT authentic nor real as I am used to, and I lived 13yrs. in San Antonio, Texas! (ten in Austin...you get the idea, our family KNOWS authentic)
I ordered the Taco Salad, and the shell was light, flakey like a great pie crust, it was divine, veggies fresh, but mine was supposed to have ground beef (vs. shredded) and I had to dig to the bottom to find what they called beef mixed with refried beans? and very little of that. Family members that ordered enchiladas said they were NOT authentic, but if you knew what to expect, they were okay, just sorta Cholo's own recipe.
Anyone know of AUTHENTIC Mexican food place, on island? I hope it isn't downtown, for I'd rather sit in the dentist's chair than to have to DRIVE there myself. (G)
