Our regular haunts: For high-end yumminess go to Kaleo's in Pahoa - always mouth-watering and their lilikoi cheese cake is to die for ...The Ponds in Hilo is always dependable ... as is Ken's - best breakfast imho and fun to yell "SUMO" when the bell rings ... Drive up to Onomea Bay and get a fish wrap & smoothie at What's Shakin', about a mile past the Botanical Gardens - biggest sleeper is Freddie's in Hilo (left-hand door leads to the sit-down restaurant) ... best Mexican food is Luquin's in Pahoa - get the taco salad - And I second the good food at Full Moon in downtown Hilo. Scrumptuous vegetarian food's at Cafe Ono/Volcano Garden Arts in Volcano (end of the road that Volcano Lodge is on). Try the spinach lasagna.
