They say when a door closes, a window opens. As we mourned the loss of La Bamba on Kapahulu Avenue, Tacos Ricos opened at the other end of the street, thankfully keeping authentic Mexican food offerings alive in the neighborhood. Tacos Ricos opened in the old Waiola Shave Ice space, but the signage has yet to be officially changed. If you’re looking for Waiola — as so many people do — it’s moved to Mokihana Street.
