"In Waikoloa, Kashani worked closely with Executive Chef Donn Rodriguez, hired in August at his nearby Tropics Ale House, to develop the menu. Rodriguez oversees both Tropics Ale and a staff of eight at the new location.
The menu caters to foodies looking for takeout or dine-in options. They can pick from seven dish styles: burritos, soft tacos, rice bowls, fries, nachos, taco salads or the ‘Ironman.’ Flavors range from carne asada or Kalua pig to crispy pork belly tossed in a citrus-adobo sauce, sweet and spicy marinated beef, huli chicken, ono wahoo and a vegan option (aka asada flavored Portobello mushrooms with guacamole, pico tomatoes and red and green onions). To top them are three salsa options."
