I love their picanha style and the filet mignon. The lamb leg is a little rough and gamy to my taste. Server do check on you often and ask for your need, but the request does not always come through. We ask for ribs but never got them. Which bring to why only 4 stars, the meat does not come consistently, we basically took a bite of whatever was on the plate, then sit and waited 5-10 minutes before another meat type will come, but that might not be something you wanted so you will be waiting longer. The chessecake dessert at the end was good, so we will probably give the place another try.

An update to our review - something we've noticed after visiting a few times and wanted to bring…read morethis up. We're hoping others do not have a similar experience. On a whim, we decided to have an early dinner on a weeknight. Only 4 or 5 tables were occupied so the restaurant was pretty much empty. We walk in, and hostess is somewhat kind, asks if we've dined here before (yes, several times), looked up our phone number and showed us to our table. Of all of the tables empty, she lead us to the most dim, dark, quiet corner 2-top table right by the bar. The most corner table out of this entire, roomy restaurant. We asked the hostess if we could be seated elsewhere, you know, somewhere where where there is some light and no in the very corner of the room (almost felt like there would be a storage area behind our table or something). This place again, is huge - why that table? We bring this issue up, because this wasn't the first time this happened to us at this restaurant. Many couples that were there before us AND they were seated in a better area we have also witnessed many couples seated at tables that seats 4. Did they all have reservations? Even then, who is deciding if they should seat at a 2-top or 4-top? We absolutely felt like there is some favortism (and even discrimination) by the hostess. After our request to sit elsewhere we were taken to another small table for two by the window by the entrance. We could watch and observe guests coming in to see if any of the other "Party of 2" guests would be taken to that dark quiet two-top table that we were initially lead to. Answer: No. None of them. Hostess never even tried to seat anyone there. So this clearly wasn't about rotation to be fair to servers (to make sure they get customers seated in their assigned area). One couple was taken in the center of the main area (4 top), another party of two, another 4 top table by the buffet. Then another, and then another. The hostess all smiles, talking story and all friendly with some. I guess we have to kiss up to the hostess to get a good table? The manager also never came around to say hello. She only went to a table where there was a known TV personality (again, they were here after us, party of 2 - seated at a table that seats 4), talked with them, then an obligatory hello to the table next to them (again, party of 2, came in after us, again, seated at a table with 4 seats) but left without making rounds at our table even though we were only a few steps away from these two tables. LOL So again - if you are follow seating/section rotations then why weren't any of other party of two's taken to the dark quiet corner 2-top table we were originally lead to? The entire time we were there, NONE of the other couples were taken to that table. Hmm. The food was very good. The salad bar - everything was fresh and there were tons of gauchos walking around with various types of meat. The server for us was very attentive and gave us refills, took empty plates off our table in a very timely manner. The price is costly, but if you're hungry enough and eat every meat brought to your table, maybe it will be worth the price. Conclusion: Good restaurant to enjoy AYCE. Make sure to speak up if you don't like the table you are taken to - especially when the restaurant is close to empty with no customers. The gauchos and servers were friendly and professional. Maybe the manager and the host/hostess need some refresher on how not to be so obvious the kind of customers they want to favor (like TV personalities) By the way, that dingy dim quiet corner 2-top that they tried to seat us - was still empty when we were leaving (and the restaurant was pretty crowded by that time)

The acai was not as sweet as I'm used to, which is a personal preference. The acai was a bit watery though so it was a bit hard to eat. However, the amount of toppings was very generous and the fruits were good. The portion didn't really seem worth it for the price though. The vibes were overall good here though, the truck is kinda like a surf truck. Like how they feature local surf news and riders. The service was also good as well, workers were very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our acai. Not bad at all, but not the best acai in Haleiwa or on island.

Prices weren't cheap but competitive for the region. The parking can be scarce and you may have to hang out in your car lying in wait for someone to leave. And people who come to the car are usually NOT in a rush to leave the spaces. The bathrooms were aight for being a beach bathroom. Not great but it will do.

We decided to get an acai bowl topped with granola, honey, blueberries and banana. The acai was like no other acai I had ever had! It was so thick, creamy and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness and no icy texture at all. All of the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and every bite left me wanting another. While it is only a food truck there is a bunch of shaded seating nearby and other delicious food trucks right next to it. Service was also very quick and friendly. I would definitely come back to try out some of their other acai bowl combos next time!

My friend and I visited this vendor when we went to the food truck park in Waikiki. My friend was…read moreinstantly drawn to them as they had a grill set up. He boldly went up to the vendor and asked for a sample which I embarrassingly looked away but he was given a piece (hey, closed mouths don't get fed) and he was immediately set on getting something from here. He got the ribs plate, I was $35 and came with salad, rice, and fries. It took a while for it to be ready, like 30 minutes, but I do understand as when it came out, it was literally a GIANT rib piece. He cut the meats off the rib and started nawing on it like a cave man. It was a very enjoyable experience for him, although, it was clear that the meat was a bit chewy and tough. The chewiness and toughness was a big let down for sure, as for all the meat that he cut off from the bone, they were all very hard to eat. HOWEVER, it was very flavorful, so I guess it is the trade-off from the way they smoke/cook it. We also added a chorizo, it was flavorful and juicy, obviously much easier to eat. The fries were good, some pieces soaked up the meat flavor which was yum. The salad was underneath the meat and got sooo greasy I couldn't eat it, the tomatoes were good though. Overall, I feel like the ribs plate was super worth it. However, you just have to be ready to put your teeth and jaw through a bit of a battle.

Don't forget to add your choice of side sauces on the table in front of the truck! All 3 are excellent. Service is quick. The wait in the courtyard is pleasant, specially if there is a breeze and the sun is a little lower, quite comfortable.

We ordered at the counter and then sat at a table to wait for our order. We had a short wait because we came in on the earlier side of the dinner hour. We tried the bean and cheese pupusa, pollo asado and steak fajitas along with a couple of sodas. With tax and tip and because we paid with credit card it came out to over $70. Definitely on the pricier side, but all of our food was fresh and tasty, and the portions are large- we had plenty of steak and rice left. If you're not familiar with Salvadoran food, it's a lot more subtle in terms of flavors. Don't come in thinking of bold, in your face flavor. Perfect for people who are sensitive to spice.
