Whether on your way to Hilo or Waimea a stop by Tex Drive In is a MUST! This local favorite opened in 1969.
One has to sample the fresh out of the grease malasadas (Portuguese donuts). They now insert into the malasadas many different fillings (mango, strawberry, chocolate). The web site says they sell over 60,000 a month, we do our damage when we visit!
Also worth a try is the Portuguese Bean Soup. Take large cup for the road, just give it time to cool down before eating!
