There weren't many Mexican restaurants or canteenas on Oahu back then but there was a restaurant in Kaneohe which was excellent. They served real Mexican cuisine, steak and fish and not just tortillas and frioles. Local folk settled for Aippys' chile which was nothing more than ketchup and kidney beans with some sort of ground meat.....probably mongoose.

Byrons was out by the airport and the Pearl Harbor gate but if I traveled out that far, I usually went a little farther to the Pearl City Tavern.

As a poor UH student on the GI Bill, I had to settle for places around University and King like the Kuhio Grill or the Islanders stadium hot dogs down the street while watching a Friday night game.

I have been to the Pearl city Tavern.

It was excellent and a local hangout.
I had friends that lived in pearl city.
That’s where I used to go dirt biking.
Damn red volcanic mud! LOL

We used to BBQ and climb mango trees.
I like green mangos with a sprinkle of salt
