I took Spanish in both high school and college. I don't recall the word "
luibueno". Nonetheless, we ate at a Mexican restaurant on the north shore called
Luibueno's. They specialize in seafood and Mexican cuisine. They took over the spot where a previous Mexican restaurant (and one of our favorites) was---Rosie's
Cantina. Good Mexican food is hard to come by in the land of fish, loco
moco, and Asian influenced cuisines. When you find something, you hang on to it. This was our first visit to
Luibueno, but I'm sure we will be back. The decor was charming and upscale but still friendly for recent beach goers (that was us--a morning at
Waimea with the waves).
Gabe's
keiki bean and cheese burrito is featured above. My blackened
ahi fish taco is below. Chips, salsa, and guacamole...our meal was complete. I do believe that the sun makes you hungry. I am hoping it wasn't just hunger that led me to believe the food here was amazing. I guess I'll know for sure after our next visit here. The entree items are a little pricier than most Mexican restaurants but they are all seafood based. Paying more for seafood is fine. Paying more for a can of
refried beans I could get down the road at Safeway,
not fine. The atmosphere here makes for a lovely date night venue or ladies night out. Either way I experience it next time, I'll be happy.
