Pau hana tacos with all the fixin’s at Kona VFW Post #12122. Beef, pork, or shrimp, melty quesadillas, and real Kona camaraderie. Come hungry, leave smiling.
This is how your Tuesday tastes better in 1 hour
Ever hear the sizzle of shrimp on the flat top and know dinner’s handled? That’s the vibe at Kona VFW Taco Tuesday.
Cold tradewinds, warm aloha, and plates stacked with tacos right when pau hana hits. Simple. Satisfying. So Kona.
What to Expect
Picture crisp shells, juicy beef or pork, or garlicky shrimp tucked under a confetti of lettuce, cheese, and salsa. Lime wedges waiting. Napkins stacked.
Not into tacos? The quesadilla is golden, melty, and perfect with a little hot sauce. Some Tuesdays even bring live entertainment, so the chatter mixes with music.
You’ll feel that easy Kona rhythm: neighbors swapping stories, vets and friends laughing, the smell of seared tortillas drifting makai.
