Tacone Flavor Grill… i’m back and i gave you another star! I had the same thing… the spa wrap with no feta cheese on the wheat wrap. I ate the whole thing with no additional sauce. Which means you were a good wrap that i didn’t have to disguise the real deal with all kinds of sauces. It was a good size and was fresh. Again, one star but i’m not ranting and raving… it’s not like i’m going to call it my Waikiki«spot». But kudos for another star from me!

Okay. The other Unilocalers had bad experiences. I noticed that they both bought wraps, so I made it a point to avoid those when I came to this establishment. As soon as I get to Tacone, you wouldn’t even think they sell wraps! There’s Japanese-style displays of burgers and hot dogs on the counter, also huge pictures of those same burgers and hot dogs on the wall — not a single image of the so-called horrible wraps. Clearly, this place is screaming out TRYOURBURGERSANDHOTDOGS. Shun the other reviews for not mentioning this. As I stood there, deciding which burger to get. A flash of yellow caught my eyes in the display. What was this mysterious yellow? An over easy egg! It was a Loco Moco Burger! I never had a Loco Moco in burger form before, so this was the must-try for me. I ordered it with sweet potato fries and a drink, it came out to $ 9.99. This place has a «Flavor Station» on the side, where you can grab your own sauces and salsas. I got some buttermilk and chipotle bbq, which went really well with my fries and chips(I didn’t ask for chips, but they threw some in.) The service was friendly, they greeted almost everyone walking by in English and Japanese. My burger came out quickly, I don’t think I waited more than 5 minutes. The burger was surprisingly two patties. Nice. Covered in gravy and an egg, I was ready for one of my fatty moments. The burger needed to be seasoned just a little bit more, but otherwise is was decent and quite filling. The sweet potato fries were really good, definitely something I will think of again if I’m just craving fries. An end note to this review… If anyone says they are against the fattiness of the Double Down at KFC, they clearly have never eaten a Loco Moco.

Unclean with very poor service. Ordered a wrap hold the ranch dressing. My wrap was watery and appeared to have dressing on it so I went back up to the counter and advised them. I was told they did not put dressing on it it must be the tomatoes! I said let me eat the ‘sweet potato fries’ …she took the whole plate and after I waited about 5 – 10 minutes out came a new wrap and my old fries, COLD! Will not return. Too bad because the sweet potato fries were actually good when they served them to me the first time. I threw almost the entire wrap away! Definitely not worth $ 11.30…Yogurtland here I come.

My friends and I were in Waikiki last night and we wanted to eat someplace cheap and easy. We decided to try out the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center food court. Tacone was the only vendor in the food court that I had never tried, so I went over. The menu said they serve healthy low carb plates, sandwiches, and wraps. The Kingston wrap caught my eye: sautéed marinated shrimp, Tacone rice(yellow rice pilaf), fresh spinach and citrus soy sauce. It was so unbelievably SALTY! Wow! Each shrimp tasted like a BLOCKOFSALT, plus the rice was salty(and hard) and to top it off, there was that soy sauce. Worse, I had just finished a six mile run and it made me super thirsty. I tried to eat it because I was so hungry and too cheap to buy something else and I didn’t want to return it because they had taken 15 minutes to make it and I didn’t want to wait again. The tortilla wrapper was so hard and stale that when I bit into it, it poked my lip and hurt it. The whole wrap was on the small side too – not that it mattered because it was too salty to eat – but it was a sad waste of $ 10.98 The cashier also upsold me to a combo with a drink and a side of my choice. She recommended the Thai cucmber salad. Don’t get it! It’s just a few slices of cucumber in vinegar. The header on their website reads “. .. healthy fast food choices.” Healthy, my a**. Eating there will cause your blood pressure to skyrocket and destroy your kidneys from all that sodium.
