Grub Crawl - College Park: Honolulu Harry's (Closed), Uncle Louie G, Jeff's Bagel Run and Quesa Loco

I tried the first two places at dinner on Monday. The next two at lunch today. The first three are on Edgewater. The last is between I-4 and Edgewater.

Honolulu Harry's - In the condo on Princeton. I had Huli Huli chicken rice bowl for $16. It was good. Dark meat, shredded chicken. Moist. The rice just seemed like white rice. Sweet platains. Pickled onion. Canned pineapple. Aoli. Decent portion size. The menu is small. 4 entrees. 2 chicken bowls, ahi and watermelon bowls. 6 tacos. 3 salads. 6 apps. 3 sliders. Not terribly Hawaiian. Spam fries? Ahi was $20. Most things seem a bit high. $6 tacos. But maybe that's the new normal. Odd hours. 3p-10p. No Monday. Two, connected rooms. A bar and another. Seems more of a bar that does food than vica verca. Open for 2 months.

Uncle Louie G Ice Cream - I tried a small coconut. for $4 It was good. A chain from NY. Many flavors. Shakes, smoothies, sundaes, etc. Ices also. Near the high school. Open 4 months.

Jeff's Bagel Run - Next to the strip mall at the intersection. Other location near Ocoee on Old WG Rd. Had a $2 asiago bagel. Ok. Thin. Good chew. About ten kinds. Also a lox box. CC was on the side at $2. No toaster. Self taught. This location open for a month? Closed M and Tu. Closes at 2?

Quesa Loco - Had a birria taco (shredded beef) for $5 and an asada for $3 and a pastor for $3. Very big. Asada and pastor were a little tough. Tortilla not crisped. Birria was better. Crispy shell with guac and dipping juice. Many options. Too many to list. Street food. Northern Mexican. Order at a counter. Quick delivery. 16 tables. Thought it would be a run of the mill Mexican place, so, I've bypassed it for a while. Isn't. More "modern". Also think it was that kind of place before. Anyway. It's this now. Brown walls. Big, open space. Mural. Opens at 12. Closed M. Opened in January. Recommended.
