Tex Drive In
Tex Drive In is a Honokaa malasada spot on Hawaiʻi Island, known for plate lunch, filled malasada and pastry. Portuguese doughnuts — fried dough rolled in sugar, no hole. Leonard's set the gold standard in 1952. Tex Drive In is a recognized local classic. Da Plate Lunch Index ranks it on local votes — Hawaiʻi Island residents who actually eat here, not visitors rating it once.
