    Aloha Misty: I hope you are having a great start to the new lunar year. Kung Hee Faat Choy to you, the family and friends! 🧧. Your review of this Mexican restaurant was awesome. The food you presented was more delicious compared to my local Mexican restaurant. All you needed to pair with the food was a Modelo (darkz) to fill-out an amazing meal. The amount of food for each dish must have lasted for a a least a couple of meals. I hope Aiden enjoy some that delicious food. I am amazed at the variety of international cuisine in Hawaii. Keep-up the great vlogging. I will looking forward to next week. I am looking forward to the next journey home. Best wishes and hope to a fellow 🐯! Much 🤙!
