    Can't believe I never did a review in the past. Been coming here for years, stop at least once on every trip. The ribs are great, friendly staff, and good portions. One of these days I'll try the burger, but the ribs are so dang good I keep getting them instead.

    Run don't walk to Ty's BBQ!! Outstanding service and food! EVERYTHING on the menu is made fresh to order and is delish! The Patty Melt and BBQ ribs are my favorite! Upgrade to tater tot you will thank me! Walking distance from the Hilton Hawaiian Village! Located in front of a great local dive bar (Susie's Wongs Hideaway) You're welcome!

    Wings are great! Large serving of fries. Mozzarella sticks are very good too!! Ty is a joy. This food truck/trailer is outside Suzy Wong's Hideaway Bar

    Western bbq bacon cheeseburger with mozzarella sticks!
    Mikey H.

    The last time I was at Suzy's, it smelled so good but I wasn't hungry. So I vowed to come here the next time I was in town. Not having an idea of what to do for dinner, I walked over since I was staying close. There's a nice uncomplicated selection and I chose the Western BBQ bacon cheeseburger, and for a $1 more, you can update your fries to tots or mozzarella sticks...of course I had to have the mozzarella...and these were fried perfectly so that they were melted on the inside but it wasn't like biting into lava. I got both marinara and ranch to dip them in. I should've ordered more....sooooo good! The burger was delicious!!! Perfect smashed burger, tangy bbq sauce, crispy bacon and that melted cheese...all on a soft bun! I really want to have another before leaving! The workers are super friendly! I also like how they're "go inside...I'll find you!" That way you don't have to wait around! Again, can't wait to come back!

    Taco Tuesday Menu Aug 2024

    On a recent outing to Suzie Wong's I was hungry and Ty's BBq is right in front. Taco Tuesday! 4 street tacos for 10$ in Waikiki? Very affordable and the tacos were delicious!!! TY's and Suzie Wongs have a wonderful symbiotic relationship where you have a solid food truck parked right outside an amazing bar. We ordered tacos and sat inside Suzies for some beers. They delivered the Tacos right to us at the bar. The tacos were delicious and tasty and did I mention such an amazing deal! Next time I'd love try try their Birria tacos and sample the ribs and burgers. The service was amazing they are super friendly and know their regulars. Excellent service and delicious food at reasonable prices!

    Excellent food options and nicely cooked. I was still very hot when we got back to our lodging. The cook is very personable along with his companion. Even when I called to ensure they were open he answered the phone right away. Only knock, is it is a little tricky to locate. I'm not one to walk down alleys so I missed my (walking) turn a couple of times. Location doesn't have too much space in the lot. But you will see the truck is very modern instead of appearing rundown. I would recommend!

    Ribs and tater tots
    Leo R.

    Ono, Soft, and good tug on the ribs which were also charred well. Tater tots nice crisp. Awesome friendly service. Would I come here again? Definite yes!

    Chicken tacos and carne asada taco.
    Kathy L.

    Unsuspecting GEM-of-A-food-truck. Friendly father and son operation, conveniently located in the parking lot of Suzie Wong's Hideaway Bar. Their ribs are tasty, tater-tots are crispy, and their tacos on Tuesdays are an absolute treat! Their chicken tacos are surprisingly good...some of the best you can get in town, actually. You can place your food order outside, at the food truck, and it'll be brought to you as you grab a drink in the bar. Their price points are very fair and their food hits the spot for bar bites.

    Ribs

    First and foremost this is the best place that I ate while being in Hawaii. I got the barbecue ribs and they are to die for 12/10. I literally was so full after three and had to keep eating (Comes with 5). I also had the mozzarella sticks that were absolutely amazing with the marinara sauce. 10/10. I am so pleased! And Ty is cool as hell. Would I come back?! Hell yea!

    Ask the Community - TY's BBQ and Grill

    Is there somewhere to sit nearby (since this business is run out of a food truck) or should we plan on bringing the food back to our hotel? (I forgot to mention we have kids so I'm guessing that wouldn't work for eating in the nearby bar. 😆 )?

    The truck is located in front of the bar Suzie Wong's hideaway so you're more than welcome to eat inside and grab a drink or if you want to do take out we are able to do that as well.

The portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth, and the spicy sauce has the perfect kick with amazing flavor that takes everything to the next level. If you're craving satisfying, authentic-tasting Mexican food, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back!

The food was incredible, and the staff was always warm and welcoming. Even when prices were on the higher side, it was worth every penny. The last time I visited it was 8/12/26: Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably dropped over time. I recently brought a coworker here, promising her a great meal, and it was honestly embarrassing. I spent $75 on two Birria taco sets and two drinks. I understand inflation and price increases, but the experience was nowhere near the cost: Service: The employee behind the counter didn't greet us and stayed on his phone while two of us waited to order. He moved incredibly slow, forgot our drinks, and then brought out the wrong ones. Another table mentioned waiting 45 minutes for their food in an otherwise empty restaurant. He also kept going in and out of the bathroom. While we ate our take out order there, he probably went to the bathroom 5 times in 45 minutes. And the worst part was he was the only one working the counter. Food Quality: The $25 Birria plate came with three very small tacos--smaller than the palm of my hand. The tortillas were soggy as if undercooked, the meat lacked seasoning, and the consommé had no flavor. The drinks were so overly sweet they were hard to finish. It's sad to see how much things have changed. Between the lack of customer service, high prices, and poor food quality, I won't be returning.

I believe that Mexican food is only as good as the tortilla, so I asked him where he got it and he said "Thyda's - bro you have to go!" Well, today I finally went and let me tell you - that random beach man was absolutely right! I got the carnitas burrito and it was simply perfect. At $12, I'd say it was reasonably priced too. Service was fast and Thyda and Magid - the husband and wife owners - were so friendly and chill. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do and love whipping up great food with a great attitude. They talked to us while we ate and shared a little of their 10 year taco stand journey. I wasn't surprised to learn they spent years in LA. The food definitely holds up to LA standards. Head's up - there's no tables and not much seating or parking. We ate on a small step near where you order. Also note that they have Taco Tuesday deals. Can't believe I've been missing out on this place for so long and I can't wait to go back! Check it out

Most of the afternoon crowd seemed to know each other, which gives the place a comfortable neighborhood feel. That said, the inside is a little dingy and could probably use a renovation. The issue on this visit was the service. When we got there, it was pretty empty, maybe 4 or 5 people sitting at the bar. The guy working behind the bar seated us, but then never brought menus, never brought water, and never came back to take our order. When my friend tried waving him down, he ignored us. Eventually another employee came in, and the bartender just told him, "Go take his order," without acknowledging us at all. I don't know if he was only working the bar that day, but he could have at least brought water, menus, or simply said someone would be right with us. Instead, the whole interaction came across as dismissive and unnecessary. Food was very good as always, but service matters too. Based on this visit, I'd call it 3 stars overall.
