I finally made it to Babalu! I joined my husband and a handful of his coworkers for dinner last night, and overall it was enjoyable. It was $2 taco night, so we had several plates of tacos come out after appetizers. For apps, we had a couple of queso dips and a couple of guacamoles for the table. They were both great, but I especially loved the queso. The table ordered a red sangria and a white. I only tried the white. The group wasn't huge on the red, and would have preferred the traditional fruit+ice +wine combo. The white was pretty sweet and had a honey aftertaste. As for the tacos, I only had one (by choice, not because there wasn't enough food). The pork belly was pretty good. I tend to like mine a little crispier but for tacos and shoving it in your mouth it worked. Two in our group loved the veggie ones the best.
Overall, friendly and prompt service (other servers also helped out and checked on us); very nice open and fresh atmosphere; pretty good food. I'd go back again!
