My family has enjoyed the taco truck and we are so happy they have a brick and mortar to visit…read moreanytime we want. The tacos are fantastic ! Another family favorite are the carne asada loaded fries, it's a little more on the pricy side but perfect to share or have a little extra to eat for leftovers as it heats up nicely in an air fryer; testament to the quality. Kind eats, in Pahoa for sure.

Coming from the mainland I love the Hawaiian food but every now and then you want a good burrito or…read moretaco. Well this is the place. This food truck can be found in different locations but I found it in Volcano by Hawaii Volcano NP. The first time I have the Barrie Tacos and they were absolutely delicious. The second time I had a burrito and it was just as good. The service is quick and absolutely friendly. The food truck is nice and clean and they have tables to sit and eat there if you want. I highly recommend eating your food right away while it's hot and fresh. A must stop spot if you are visiting the area.

There were several food trucks at an event but when I saw the title and smelled the smoke, I made a…read morebee-line for this truck. I really wanted to try the brisket and ribs, but that wasn't possible unless I bought two plates. Chef suggested the brisket, so I got that with two sides of corn. Would the rather flimsy fork and no knife be enough? Oh yeah! The brisket just about fell apart. It was moist, which is hard to achieve; usually it's dried out. It was lightly sauced, enough to complement the meat, not drown it. The corn ears were juicy, also not dried out. I'll be looking for this truck next time I'm on the Hilo side! Gotta try those ribs.

I love the spicy coleslaw, I love the moist beans but more of, the best ribs on the island…read more Brisket? You don't even need a knife. Dave and Mannilyn, keep up the great work. Mahalo, Don

Yes authentic Mexican Tamales wrapped and steamed in the husk of a corn cob. Been buying from this…read moreroadside vendor for a number of years and like the pork and cheese-jalapeno flavored tamales. I find the price a bit steep but when you factor in the "buy local" and the freshness plus MEZA's mobile facilities factors - I'll still buy. Hard to find authentic cuisine on the Big Island, so it is great to have this food option available.

I've tried your tamales a number of times over the years and have always enjoyed the flavor but…read moreit's all Masa and no meat. Never could understand why you can't add some meat to your tamales. I know inflation is tough but at $35 per dozen you should get some meat, pork ain't that expensive even now. I'd buy more if you changed your meat to masa ratio. Won't see me again for a while.

Prices are better than other drive-inn restaurants. They even have frozen food portions for sale that are reasonably priced! I got the Oxtail Stew & Spareribs. The Oxtail stew was a bit salty but still tender & filling. I've had the Beef Tomato and their Beef Teriyaki Sandwich/Burger! I have never had a sandwich loaded with so much meat. I also love their Mac Salad! I'll be back to sample their other menu items.

We stayed for four nights, so we had four continental breakfasts, a burrito, three hash browns,…read morethree corn dogs, and fried fish, poppers, fries, and onion rings. First, morning coffee was first rate diner coffee- in the land of single origin specialty coffee, it was a great way to start the day with a couple of cups, with half and half. All of the fried food was crispy, cooked in fresh tasting oil to a delightful crispiness (esp. the has in the morning). the pancakes were fine, not too big, but nice and fluffy. My daughter loved the corn dogs (again the crispy batter) even though they were chicken dogs. And the fish was fresh tasting (they said it was ono) whole filets. Price was right, place was not bowling alley smelly, but clean and lively. What more could you ask for in a national park's bowling alley?

Fish and chips are fried-to-order so it's nice and hot. Condiments are next to the pick up window and you can grab as much as you please. Price $$ - Price is fair with the portions that are served. Service 3/5 - Service is normal for a fast-food style restaurant. Ambiance 3/5 - Interior is fine, we visited around Christmas time so the interior was decorated with holiday festivities. Tables are kept clean and open. Overall - With limited options inside Volcanoes National Park, this is a quick and cheaper grub-and-go restaurant to continue your adventures inside the park, which is probably the main reason why you're visiting. I had a pleasant experience and would visit again.
