Pacific Catch located in Pruneyard on Bascom Ave. satisfied the customers appitite with their delicious meals, which included the island tacos (top), tortilla soup (bottom right) and fried dulce de leche spring rolls (bottom left) on Oct. 24.
The newest gem in the Pruneyard is Pacific Catch. This eco-friendly seafood restaurant is decorated simply yet comfortably.
The open kitchen faces the dining room, allowing guests to see their food as it is freshly prepared by the chef.

My server’s name was Gilbert. He greeted my table with a bottle of table water and a plate of edamame with pretzel crackers.

His confidence of the menu persuaded my decision, when I was ordering my entrée. I wanted to order fish and chips but he convinced me to order the island tacos ($11.50).

There are five specialty tacos to choose from. I was given the option to mix and match the tacos I wanted to order. I chose the Mahi Mahi Taco and the Pacific Steak Taco.

I started my meal with a bowl of the tortilla soup, ($7) if you love citrus, this is the soup for you. It’s prepared with chicken and shrimp, with chunks of avocado and garnished with tortilla strips.
My entrée came out fast and was served hot. The presentation of my plate was amazing, my tacos were overstuffed and accompanied by a side of black beans with spicy fries.

The food was served on a bamboo plate with a recycled liner of the Honolulu Tribune.

The Pacific Steak Taco was my favorite. The black beans complimented the island tacos nicely, the duo was a hit. The spicy fries were not spicy, instead they were just seasoned, but they weren’t bad.
I saved room for dessert and shared the Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls ($6.50) It was served ala mode on top of a bed of caramel sauce.

As soon as I dug in I was astonished with the quality and taste of the dessert. The only words I uttered were, “Oh my God” in between bites.
The staff was friendly and nice. When I walked into the restaurant I was seated immediately.

I never had to wait for anything from my server. He was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and background of Pacific Catch.
Pacific Catch offers generous portions of food with reasonable prices. It was a delicious experience. We give this five “Freddie the Foodies.”
