Kualoa Burrito en Raised By The Waves — Reseña de bandita (3 oct 2024)

The menu lists the ingredients as Black Bean Chickpea Balls, Quinoa, Kualoa Spinach, Ali'i Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes, Fresh Diced Yellow Onion, Famous Garlic Aioli Drizzle, Vegan Cheese served with side of Avo Mash and Garlic Aioli. I actually thought that they got me a wrong burrito because it seemed that what I got was falafel and quinoa. I didn’t notice any black beans or any much else. I still liked it a lot, though, and after reading the ingredients again, I realize that the black beans and chickpeas balls are actually the falafel. The grilled spinach wrap is really great to take on the go to enjoy at the beach because it holds up well and not get soggy. 

The side of avocado mash is just that, not to be confused with guacamole. It was a little zesty, which they probably added lime juice, but other than that, it was rather bland, I would have liked at least a little salt added. The side of Garlic Aioli tasted like a really good ranch dressing. That paired very well as a dip for this burrito. I liked that they gave two dips, the avo and aioli because most places would only give one, which is never enough for me. This was just right. Overall this was a really pricey meal though, coming to over $19 including taxes and a small tip. Good thing I brought water with me because it would be beyond my budget to get both. I do like their drinks though, so if all their foods are this pricey, I’ll have to choose one or the other next time.

I like that the burrito is served in a paper bowl. I’ll be able to #reuse this by planting seeds in it and then put it directly in the ground when it’s ready,, so nothing goes to waste. The dips are served in the typical little plastic containers. I got to thinking on my ride to the beach that this must be a difficult alternative because despite this place seeming to try their best to be environmentally-friendly, they still have to resort to this. They serve a lot of drinks, and I’m not sure if they go through a lot of fruits like oranges, limes, papaya, etc, but if so, it would be neat if they could serve the dips inside the shells of them.
