Castro's

The 20 Best Restaurants in Waikiki, Hawaiʻi | Eater

"Brunch spot Castro’s could survive entirely on overflow customers from its neighbor, Eggs ‘n’ Things, but the food is so good that Waikīkī-averse locals will face the crowds for the Cubano, choripan, and braised brisket sandwiches. In his Cuban-inspired cuisine, chef-owner Luis Castro emphasizes local ingredients (rare in an independent Waikīkī restaurant) like foraged flowers, local pork, and fruit plates that eschew the ubiquitous imported berries in favor of a farmers market bounty of tropical items. Best for: Groups of fewer than four, since the place and tables are small." - Martha Cheng
