Food truck
Danielle P.

We were beach hopping most of our last day on the island and came across a lot of areas with amazing looking food trucks. Days and hours of operation can be hit or miss though, so sometimes selection was limited. This place was still going to be open for a while so we hit the beach for a little bit and came back to order our dinner. My oldest and I got the fish tacos and my youngest got the chicken tacos. We enjoyed the food and it hit the spot after a long day of beach hopping. I could have used a little more spice, but that's just me. The beans were great but the rice was bland. Service was friendly and quick. They have multiple tables available for seating but they do have them designated for where you order from, so you need to pay attention to that.

Burrito
Caroline J.

Good burrito with lots of yummy filling as well as chips and salsa. Nice service as well. Lots of tables to sit at right outside of where you order at the food truck with covering as well so you are out of the sun!

Great location right off the Ke Ala Hele trail and there's tons of parking and seating. Service was wonderful and the wait time was fast. -lots of food and it ranged from around $14-$16 for two tacos, rice, and beans -the Al pastor tacos were tasty, but there needed to be more pineapple -the fish tacos were good, but needed more acid / onions -they have a 3.7% credit card service charge, so if you have cash, use it!

Would not recommend. Shrimp and ahi tuna tacos.

Got the shrimp tacos and ahi tuna taco. Both were bland. The corn tortilla was not heated or grilled. Lifeless fish and shrimp: no sear, no flavor, no grill marks. Cabbage and sauce were bright and promising but lacked flavor. Overall the tacos didn't deliver any freshness or flavor. Would not recommend.

Fish burrito
Cole D.

Love the energy and friendliness here. The worker was so nice and sweet. Very gentle attitude. I got the steak taco (YUM YOU GOTTA GET IT) and a fish burrito. The steak taco has so much juicy flavor and it's so tasty. I paused in awe halfway through my first bite, I kid you not. Super yummy. I like how they space out two tortillas so it's a longer taco. Packed with meat. The fish burrito was just all right I will say. The sauce it comes with is just fine. I wish I had gotten fish tacos, but the burrito is a good size, good decent burrito. It didn't have the same majesty as the taco. Great outdoor seating. Super windy though. Nice shade.

Ahi tuna taco and shrimp burrito

Tuna tacos were good, so was shrimp burrito ,a lot of people in line . I'm going back next time I'm in Kauai.

Lots of seating!

Great tacos! That's my go to whenever I come here. The last couple of times, I've done a shrimp & fish combo. The great thing is that it's fresh, local caught, so one day you might get ahi, another day you might get mahi mahi. The lady who runs it is so sweet & easy to talk to. This is right up the street from where I live in Kapaa, so it's my go-to if I'm wanting tacos in particular.

Faun was super friendly and attentive with our order. The tacos are delicious. Great place to get a quick bite after the beach (or before/during).

Somehow managed to be a complete idiot and ordered from the wrong location. The woman at the…read morecounter was much nicer than she needed to be at my mistake and called the other location to let them know. She charged me only for the Hapa Poke Bowl since it was cold but not for the Anykine Bento which was extremely generous. The poke bowl was fantastic! Fish was fresh and delicious. My partner enjoyed the Anykine bento and just wished there was a larger portion. Will definitely return on our next visit to the island.

The employee who took my order was rude and even yelled at me because she couldn't hear me over the loud music playing in the food truck. I ordered the poke bowl special, which was supposed to come with their famous tots, but the tots were missing from my order. I considered going back to ask for them, but honestly, I didn't because I was worried the employee would be even ruder than she was when I placed my order. I also tipped 20% because I truly believe in taking care of people who work in the service industry. We also tried the katsu musubi and the fried musubi, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. We've visited both locations, and while the food was excellent at each, the Poʻipū location lacked the warm, welcoming spirit you'd hope to experience while visiting Kauaʻi. That said, much aloha to Kauaʻi. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back.
