The food here was absolutely DELICIOUS I got the Kahlúa pork slider, I added BBQ sauce as my topping... WOW, those are some of the best sliders I've ever had, the pork was delicious, the rolls they were on were soft and sweet and absorbed all the fat and juices of the pork and overall it was a stellar meal! We got there early and were first in line so there was plenty of seating and parking and with the lovely tree cover and hilarious chickens running around it was a lovely meal after visiting the temple. Everyone in the truck was nice and friendly and we'd 100% come again!
This food truck used to be Okina Cafe, but they are now revamping their entire menu. Since the boyfriend can't eat shrimp, he got a burger here while I had Giovanni's. The line here was even longer than Giovanni's, which says a lot too. He ordered the Bucket-A-Bacon Burger ($15), which was stuffed with bacon, cheese, and meat --no vegetable fillers just the way he likes it. I tried a bit and it was meaty and filling. For the meatlovers, this is a solid choice. It doesn't come with anything else though, but tasty.
This food truck is the best. It hit the spot and was exactly what I was looking for after the shark snorkel we did. I don't do shrimp and I think the shrimp trunk is overrated lol I joked with the guy here about it too! I really wanted a rice dish so I went with the Ono (one ? I like ono better) plate lunch and went with the recommendation of the garlic steak. I got the Thai tea, and 2 lemonades for my companions. In total with tip was 33$ - support local! The Thai tea was really good - I am a Thai food snob and this was top tier man! Let's get to the actual meal. The meal itself was much bigger than I was expecting and that's awesome. More bang for your buck. The salad was good and fresh and the vinaigrette was well balanced. The rice was a bit dry for me but ok, but the steak was perfect. It could have been a bit more medium but it was VERY tender and juicy and had the right amount of garlic. I don't always eat all of my meal but I finished ALL of the steak it was that good! Compliments to the chef lol Def show them some love and try their food - shrimp is so yesterday
Grew tired of garlic shrimp and wanted to try something new. Great service. Giant burgers! Tender tasty garlic butter steak. I had medium well and it was tender and juicy. Passion fruit lemonade was okay. I like it more tart. It was smooth and sweet.
The line was not that long compared to Giovanni's but it definitely moved slower. Service was mediocre. The guy grilling was complaining about not having his music to listen to. While the cashier was friendly, the girl giving out the food at the pickup window was grumpy. Food Steak and rice - steak was grilled and seasoned well. Best dish there. Kahlua pork sliders - pork was on the sweet side. They used Hawaiian rolls for the buns Steak and pork tacos - not street tacos like I pictured. They used regular soft tortilla (like Mission tortillas). Steak was good, same steak in the steak and rice dish. And pork on the sweet side. I might give it a higher rating it had higher value for the price.
Spent a few hours in North Shore shark diving, and stopped at a food truck area to see what they had. The parking lot was full, so you know there must have been some good choices! I parked down the street a little at the visitor center for a $10 fee. You can come and go. My stop was at Chill Grill. There were a few options to choose from on the menu, and I landed on the Ahi Tuna Poke Plate Lunch. A generous portion of tuna bursting with flavor, two scoops of white rice, and a small garden salad with choice of three dressings. I actually did not get my dressing, although I was almost done before I realized it. For a drink I had the passion fruit lemonade. It was a great balance the two flavors. One of my group had the butter garlic steak plate lunch. I was able to try some. There was a lot of fat and gristle in the meat, but was otherwise tender. There also was not all that much flavor.
This place is in the turnaround where there is about 10 food trucks. The line was pretty long compared to others so we thought that they must be the best. The wait was around 45 minutes to get your food. We ordered a chicken quesadilla which was $12. To me it just tasted like rotisserie chicken and cheese. My daughter said Taco Bell was better. So I would skip this truck.
Their Kalua pork plate was really good! I'm a bit surprised at their average ratings since the pork was very flavorful. I suggest you give it a shot if you're not craving the other food trucks in that area, you won't be disappointed
Stopped by this section of food trucks at the north shore and decided on the chill grill becthey had a vegetarian option. I had the plane Jane quesadilla with a side salad. It was okay. My friend had a cheeseburger and he is very picky, but said it was a good burger. My other friend had chicken street tacos, but being from the southwest, I have never seen such large street tacos....they use a medium size flour tortilla and add chunks of chicken, lettuce and tomato. Honestly there are lots of food options in this area, so not sure the food will call me back. I have to give kudos to Sky, she was super sweet and wanted to ensure we were all completely happy. She is definitely an asset to this business! If you decided to stop in, ask for Sky! You too will see how helpful she is :-)
I was a little disappointed ordering from this place because originally I wanted to get the Ahi Tuna Poke Plate but they ran out of fish. So the next thing I wanted was the Garlic Butter Steak Plate but they ran out of steak. My third option was the Kalua Pork Plate and it was flavorful considering Kalua Pork is oftentimes bland but nothing to really cry home about.
It's good but not worth the price. Definitely a place for tourists cause, hey you're on vacation what a couple bucks more. Theyre fast which is good and have a variety of items on the menu. Good for before the beach so you don't get too full! There is a fee for parking $2.
Went to the north shore with the family for lunch. Everyone was next door at another truck except me due to allergies. I saw this truck with a man grilling fresh food outside so it looked good. Had a few customers here and there. I ordered the chicken sliders( can't go wrong with someone actively barbecuing chicken ?) wrong! When I stepped up to order I noticed the flies in the truck: given it's an island sure but I should have stuck with my gut and cancelled the order. Also took way to long of a wait for what I got. Any case my gut was right in this case wrong because that night I was the only one throwing up, coming out both ways. Not a fun way to end a vacation. Someone whose worked in food service for many years, can't help the flies it comes with territory however cover the food with the proper lids in the truck. The flow of service was not that heavy where you can't lift up the lid to service some toppings. Defiantly not the first time to the island however first time to get food poisoning. Ended up at urgent care the next day.
Right next to Giovanis. I think they're all overpriced in the tourist trap area. For a dollar more than Giovanis shrimp, you can order the steak with salad and rice here. The rice is a little undercooked, so it's not great. However the steak is marinated well and is quite tender. It's debatable if it's worth the money, but between shrimp and steak, I prefer this over Giovanni's.

Chill grill is located in the little food truck parking lot across McDonald's in Hale'iwa. I was interested in trying out their chicken nachos. It was okay. Nothing special to remember about it. It tasted plain tbh. I also ordered the chicken quesadilla and the sliders. My kids said it was Eh! Nothing special. For that price, and the waiting time, I wish it some type of specialness to their food. But nothing special came out of it. I couldn't even find the name of the food truck in front of the food truck to check them out before I thought of eating there. Please improve on taste rather than quantity. They gave a good amount for the price. I want more taste and not some store bought chicken shredded, more taste on home made hamburger, and quesadillas was mediocre. It needs something. Mood: full because I was just hungry Satisfaction: hmmmm ok Parking: go early to get some, locals are free Service: not too nice or enthusiastic but NOT not nice read more

Steak street tacos were a bomb 10/10 came with black beans rice and a salad . I literally forgot to take a picture of them The beans tastes like nothing lol a little salt goes a long way .. once I picked up my order I saw they had nachos -- I'll be back for those :) They did give my baby a plate of cheese ( she's 2 ) thankful ! Plus they take cash and cards / Apple Pay !! read more

I placed a to-go order of the cheesy quesadilla with steak. It's really really frustrating. I can't believe they would serve their customers with such a ridiculous dish. When I took the box from the guy, I opened it to do a sanity check, and they put the ridiculous side down, unfortunately I didn't smell it, because I had a mask on my face. Later when I drove to the beach, and had my sad quesadilla, I found the following situation. You folks can make a call based on the photos. They should know, even non local residents with to-go orders would write reviews on social media. The success of Food truck and small personal business relies on their credibility! read more

Tried two Haleiwa smoothies and it was terrible! They are brave to call this a fruit smoothie because all you can taste is ice! I've never had a smoothie with no flavor, but this is a FLAVORLESS drink. For the very low price of $6 you can get a ice cold water smoothie!!!!!! read more

I highly recommend that you take your money elsewhere. The food is not good to begin with. Lacks flavor as well at over 20-30 minute wait AFTER you order. Today 8/20/23. I found a roach in my rice. I politely went up to the cook rather than the window not to cause a scene and be "that guy." The cashier came over and issued a refund and told me that I'd get a new plate of food. To be nice I left a 9 dollar tip. Waited for 20 ish minutes and no food. Once the line completely went through I ordered a drink (jamba juice is better) and asked about the status of my meal and the lady told me that they didn't even cook it yet. To make things worst they still continued to serve the same batch of rice. So I took my drink and left. Please take money elsewhere, you work hard for your money and it deserves to be well spent.

Pork taco gone is under 60 seconds. Freshly cooked to order so food was fresh. Plenty of seating around the area with other stalls to pick from if you both don't want to eat from the same stall. read more

It was oookay. We came here because the line at Giovanni's was too long, which is probably where most of their customers come from. I had the kalua pork tacos and I wouldn't necessarily call them tacos. Just a lot of cheese, salad mix from a bag, and kalua pork. My brother got the steak and it was also okay. A bit salty for me but better than the tacos. I wouldn't come again. There are a lot of other places to eat in the area. read more

Amazing flavor in the steak. Goes really good with rice and salad. I highly recommend this place of your looking for a quick bite that tastes like a 5 star meal. Plenty of seating a service is quick. read more
