The new Puna Kai Shopping Center would be better.
...and it might even be open before permits are issued for the old KFC.
It’s very hard to find really good Mexican food anywhere on this island.
"Good" is subjective. I like Lucy's for the tacos, and the margaritas, and the fact that they're actually open for business, even if it does mean driving to Hilo.
other new restaurants coming to Pahoa at Puna Kai...
In theory, yes. In practice, drive time to Pahoa or Hilo is the same, but Hilo has more stuff; if I don't want anything more than food, Kurtistown is almost as good (from the menu, not the steam table) and saves an hour's driving.
Maybe we'll get more nearby options in another couple of decades when Shipman's New Keaau happens.
