Looking for new dining options across Oahu? Check out the following:

Aloha Mamacita

Aloha Mamacita is known for its birria-themed takeout menu, but the biz just added poke bowls and new desserts to its lineup.

Supreme doughnuts (one for $10, three for $28, six for $56), which are spiral croissant doughnuts — are inspired by the pastries from a New York bakery that went viral on social media. The pastries feature a filling, topping and ganache, and they’re made to order. No preorders will be taken; they’re available on a first-come, first-served basis. Current flavors include

Cookie Monster, ube, cookie butter, s’mores, Oreo and chocolate.

The biz also launched its poke bowls ($17), which feature fish directly from the Honolulu Fish Auction. Poke flavors include Thai lemongrass, nom tok, Lao-style, spicy ahi and shoyu ahi.
