He has plate lunches along with the usual manapua truck fare (hotdogs, musubi, fried noodles, etc). My favorites are: A special (fried noodles & french fries w/ yellow sauce) & thai tea. My 4 year old likes the chicken nuggets (standard, frozen kind you buy at store) and My husband likes their orange chicken plate. The food is decent and cheap, and he works really fast on orders!

I told him i didnt want it and he seem annoyed. Also major no no that made me not want to come back is sanitation. He had a glove on his right hand and not his left. I thought he would use utensils to grab the food but was using his glove which was already touched by money. He was touching food with his right glove but when I saw people paying in cash he was using both hands to touch the money. Then proceeded to use his right hand which just touched money to grab the food. After that I got out of line and didn't order. Very disgusting. Use utensils to grab the food! NOT your dirty gloves covered in gross money.

We decided on one each of the Kalua Pig nachos and Chili nachos. Both of the small containers had a good amount of Kalua/Chili plus cheese. Overall not bad finger food to munch on while enjoying fabulous music and a drink. I'm sure they have much more to offer, might try them again in the future. 3.5 Stars round to 4

New food truck to the west side of the island located in the Hawaiian Homestead up Nanakuli Avenue,…read moreyou can't miss it its a white food truck with a bright green banner. Business hours are 5:00am-1:00pm and they serve breakfast from open till closing, and they also have a daily special menu, local lunch plates, and the usual hamburger, cheeseburger, and grill cheese. Although their daily special menu does change frequently maybe a new menu every week or so. The prices are awesome it's anything from $2.00-$9.00 so it's totally worth it and the food all taste delicious! And did I forget to mention they have a Acai Bowl which is made with local Anahola Granola and honey with bananas and blueberries. Smoke meat fried rice are also a winner, can't seem to get enough... Everything is so far so good!

They serve a variety of Puerto Rican food with a hawaiian twist. I decided to have the steak, shrimp and laulau. It also comes with gandule rice and macaroni salad. The flavors are fire. Steak is a nice medium rare which is to my personal preference and the shrimp is delicious with a creamy unique sauce. The ratio of pork, fat and greens in the luau is so well balanced. As for the gandule rice, it is by far the best I have ever eaten. Every morsel is perfectly flavored. This is a special treat when you want to have a cheat day. This is truly one of the best places to eat on the island. Chef's kiss to Guudfellaz.

Always looking to sample local cuisine we happened upon 808_Puffs when we were exploring Waianae. Too early for lunch, we decided to get some puffs to take back to the hotel. They sat untouched in their box for exactly 2.3 miles or 10 minutes. Precisely the amount of time it took to find a place to park where they were promptly devoured. With gusto and sincere pleasure. We bought four with the intent to share. Unfortunately we forgot utensils and it's incredibly hard to split a puff with fingers, so I can't provide firsthand feedback on the Dubai puff or the chocolate bar puff. I can tell you they were gone in a flash and no one offered to give me a bite. The ube puff was delicious and crammed full of ube goodness and that the chantilly puff topped with chocolate was divine and though I didn't mean it, I did offer my husband a bite of both. The storefront is small. There might have been a table or two in the front, but there was a very hyper child up there, so we stayed close to the register waiting for our order. They also have hot food and a selection of poke which looked fresh, but poke's not my thing so... Their prices were reasonable, the store was clean and service was quick at 10 am.

Love Cosmic Tacos!!!!…read more Based out of Makaha, Hawaii, this one-stop Taco Truck is all you need to get your Taco fix! They have the best Tacos, Burritos, Nachos, etc. Owned by an Amazing, Hard Working Team of Husband Kris and Wife Erica, they always have the best customer service. Purchased dinner from them this past Thursday 5/1/25 at the "Lei of Literacy" event at the Nanakuli Library. As always, everything on the menu is great! We ordered: the Super Nachos, 4 Quesabirria Taco Plate and the 4 Cosmic Taco Plate. Both plates came with rice, beans, lime and salsa. Took it home and completely decimated them :) So Ono and delicious! Their food truck is always clean and orderly. They put their Heart and Soul into everything that they do!

I ordered the shrimp scampi and this was also the first time in my life I had ever peeled shrimp. There is apparently a science to it. First, you lick off all that butter and garlic from the shell. Then you peel the shrimp. Much better system. The shrimp were garlicky, buttery, messy, and completely worth the effort. I ate all 12. It came with two scoops of rice, which was more than I needed, so one scoop went to the chickens, zebra doves and magpies hanging around the tables. They were very happy with that arrangement. Feed them on the side not in the shed, otherwise... I also signed the truck wall, because once you are there, you kind of have to. Not fancy, not polished, also Not Cheap but still a very fun North Shore food stop. And I would eat those 12 shrimp again

We've taken him to other locations and he said things were ok, but the salmon made him want to come back just for that. If you're heading around Kahuku, make sure you check out Da Bald Guy!

They have the best Mac salad with a lot of smoked paprika, it just sucks that they put such a small scoop. Unfortunately the rice I got today was just a touch dry/undercooked. The plates are good but $20 is right on the border of being worth it - I would feel a lot better paying that if the rice was better and they gave more Mac salad. There's other great options nearby for a few dollars cheaper. Also, they used to have blackened fish that was fire. They got rid of that for furikake salmon.
