Five BARGAIN Kauai Restaurants You Won't Want To Miss!

1. Red Hot Mama's / Hanalei / North Shore
5-6607 Kuhio Highway, Halalei; (808) 826-7266
Price: $5 to $11.50
This petite Mexican taco hole-in-the-wall is located about a mile after the Hanalei Bridge, right before you enter Hanalei Town, next to Wainiha General Store, and features organic foods. Burritos are fat with big chunks of beef and chicken.

2. Polynesia Café/Hanalei/ North Shore
Ching Young Village Shopping Center, 5-5190 Kuhio Highway, Hanalei; (808) 826-1999
Polynesia Café, features salads, sandwiches and huge burgers,. We love the macadamia encrusted ahi. Portions are large and accompanied by steamed veggies and choice of white or brown rice.

3. Kilauea Fish Market/Kilauea/ North Shore
4270 Kilauea Lighthouse Road, Kilauea; (808) 828-6244
Price: $9.99 to $14.99
Healthier Hawaiian food: get the ahi wrap or teriyaki chicken.

4. Kilauea Bakery / North Shore 
Kong Lung Center, 2484 Keneke St. at Kilauea Lighthouse Road, Kilauea; (808) 828-2020
Price: $3.05 to $11.95
Still going strong since the early 90s. Terrific baked goods and unusual offerings. The breads are wonderful.

5. Duane's Ono Char-Burger / East Shore
44350 Kuhio Highway, Anahola (midway between Lihue and Princeville, next to Whaler General Store); (808) 822-9181
Price: $4.40 to $7.25
The legendary local favorite, hands down. The burgers are great, but the surroundings are, umm, untidy, so opt for take-out.
