TAQUERIA EL RANCHERO TO OPEN IN KAPOLEI

Taqueria el Ranchero is slated to bring its Mexican food to Ka Makana Ali‘i in 2021, according to the Kapolei center, which announced a lease agreement with the restaurant.

Owner Hector Garcia Gomez is expanding with a second location after starting in Wahiawa in 2015.

“I started the restaurant because I needed food from back home. Everything on the menu is street food that I like to eat,” said Garcia, who grew up on a ranch in Mexico.

Weekend specials like posole, menudo and chile relleno will augment the regular menu, featuring tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos. Plans are to be open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Visit elrancherohawaii.com.
