After a fun day exploring the island but frustrating day trying to get food including Malasadas -…read morewe decided to try this food truck having passed it by for years! Be prepared for a wait - it was probably near 30 minutes from waiting to order to waiting for our food but it is made fresh to order and you can customize flavors and toppings. The Malasadas are delicious - warm and fresh! The fillings for me were hit or miss - some like S'mores tasted lovely with marshmallows and what I assume was a Nutella filling but others, especially local flavors like Lilikoi tasted very artificial and overly sweet and anything with coconut in it turned to liquid like a coconut oil! Glad I tried them - fresh, warm and hit and miss on fillings

Hannah has this spot rocking and it's not just because of the traffic flying by that shakes the cart. She's patient, funny, and LOVES this work. The staff in there are working with a fryer, and it's hot. I could see sweat on Hannah's face. She still had a smile and was willing to chat. Great service all around! The new item is Dubai chocolate malasada! It's an added $7 more for this trendy treat. Hannah showed me the pistachio cream filling used and the type of chocolate bar with a thick layer of crispy bits, it's all imported. This is the legit stuff. Minimum Malasada purchase is three and you won't be disappointed if you have to eat more than planned. Hannah made sure I got napkins because she knew what was about to go down. I definitely got the holy trinity if haupia, guava, and lilikoi. It's a must! I tried it without a sugar dusting and I think I'll go back to the sugar, why not.

The order came out fairly quickly and as you can see from the pic, its a large portion - I couldnt finish it in two sittings. The chicken was not as crunchy as I would have liked, but it tasted great and was moist and tender inside. The lack of crunchiness may have been my fault since I added a little extra Sriracha on top of everything. I recommend Da Braddahz Grinds and will be back!

Before our wedding, Mark and his wife took an opportunity to make it a point to get to know us. In that meeting we learned not only about the experience and skills they possessed, but the authenticity of their hearts to truly serve us. On the day of, they were warriors championing through the Hilo rain (surprise, surprise it rained in a hilo wedding), cooking, moving things around, and presenting everything to perfection. Before we could even thank them for their service, they had already left, ensuring the attention stayed on us on our wedding day.

The bbq skewers, bistek, pancit, macaroni salad + poke station and more was all soooo good. They were still good the next day after being slightly hungover. Mahalo to Mark and his team!

We shared the 3 meat plate and still had leftovers. It looked and smelled so good we grabbed a blanket and ate on the grassy area next to the parking lot.

The sauce was tasty, though didn't have any of the pineapple flavor that some Huli Huli chicken has and overall the meat was a bit bland. If you just get a half chicken, they put it in a plastic bag so very hard to eat, especially since it is piping hot. Hot food in a plastic bag is also not a good idea as the plasticizers can leach into the food and none of us need more microplastics in our food! If you can plan ahead, bring your own plate and a knife and fork instead. You will also need to take it somewhere to eat if you want to site down, or like we and many others did, eat it off of your tailgate or hood of your car.
