**CASH ONLY** Finally got to try this place in Waipahu since heard good things about them and WOW..... This place is one of the best on island for Puerto Rican food????????
Located near the Waipahu Bus Depot, its a take out only restaurant with some outdoor seats.
Came when it almost closed so there waa no Mac salad already, so ordered the Hapa Plate that came with Gandule Rice, Pastele and Bacalao Salad. Food was legot and worth the price. Too bad the hours are tough for me to come more often.... Highly recommend if youre in the Waipahu area????????
Don’t come here if you are looking for ambience and mediocre food! DO come here if you are craving delicious pastele & gandule rice! Pricing is fair for the hefty plate. Healthy alternative for me & my keiki especially for what’s in the area! Remember cash only! Plan to order over the phone, pull up, pay & hele to the park near by (plantation village) to enjoy! Lady at the counter (sorry I forgot her name) was nice & super helpful recommending other small businesses in the area! Please remember this is a small business..that means consider a wait time longer than 10 mins & say Mahalo when you receive good service!
First time there had a guy at the counter. He was super friendly, talking story the whole time he was making our order. Today there was a lady, very rude not friendly at all. On the way there we were going to order 2 plates and dessert. After how we were treated we just got one plate. Just wanted to hurry and leave. Got the ultimate pastele plate, didn’t have pastele stew. And I guess they no longer give utensils or napkins.
Anytime I’m in Waipahu I try to stop by and get some Wat Get. Pateles, gandule rice, bacalao salad - perfectly balanced meal, each packed with amazing flavors. Service is always amazing as well. They treat you like family that welcomed you into their own kitchen. It’s nice to be able to see into their kitchen and see where the food is made. Took my meal to go (saving it for dinner). They made sure to let me know the best way to reheat and serve it. Gave recommendations for what to do with leftovers (no shame, grab extra). Explained to me a little history behind Puerto Rican food in Hawaii. Sorry not better pictures, we just ate it all too quick.
My cousin & I were waiting for the bus across the street & saw 'empanadas' written in the front, the Hispanic in me told to run over there to get some. We ordered gandule rice & pasteles & wow that was amazing, tasted just like my culture. Staff was great, I was short a dollar or 2 & the employee at the front told me it was ok & gave my food anyways ???? I will return for more!!
My friend Toti has been at this location for years dishing out authentic Puerto Rican food. He always has a smile. This is pretty much a one-man operation, so if you don't want to wait call in ahead. NO CORNED BEEF IN THE PASTELES or empanadillas- which locals call panadillas! There are a few outside counters, but pretty much the best way to enjoy is take out and eat at home.
Pastele Plate with Pastele Stew, Bacalao Salad and Mac salad was so ono!
Wat Get has awesome pastele plates! The Hapa plate has Gandule rice, Bacalao salad and a pastele. So far everyone I know who has tried it, has loved it! There is no real seating except for 2 stools at an outside counter. It is well worth the trip to Waipahu (if you are not already there).
