Now Tracy’s
newest restaurant-to-be will serve South Pacific food on that very corner.
Longtime caterer Teresita Valera, who plans a grand opening
Aug. 8 for Hula Hut, isn’t new to the downtown. She’s sold food for the Tracy Farmers Market since 2000. This will just be
a permanent spot to share her unique recipes with the city.

“The customers are
clamoring for me to open,” Valera said. “Even my Lodi
and Livermore
customers say they will come.”
Valera has a degree in nutrition from a college in the Philippines and said she has catered to the
Hollywood stars in Beverly Hills.
She also managed Good Earth restaurant in Brentwood,
for 10 years.
She said she’s been all over the world sampling food in
search of new tastes.
“I have a big menu that will cater to a very vast crowd,” Valera said. “My experience and travels contribute to this.”
Patrons of Hula Hut can look forward to karaoke on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights and live Latin music on Sunday nights.
