1302 Austin Hwy #1, (210) 474-6699, llhawaiiangrill.com
Served in to-go containers in true Hawaiian fashion, L & L will have you feeling like you’re kicking back on the beach. Go for the ramen burger or opt for something more traditional like Spam & eggs or Loco Moco (hamburger patties over white rice, topped with eggs and covered with brown gravy).
