They still ended up giving me the sauce, though? And the food was fine, nothing special or filling. Not worth the price. The fries aren't vegan because of duck fat.

Walk up to the truck - place your order - they'll call it out when ready. Enchiladas Plate & some type of Birria taco situation that is not listed on their website. tacosjalis.co/menu.html With this stuff, it's all fantastic. Everything including the accompanying rice and refried beans were excellent. Great flavor, moist and fresh. Why the star loss? Dessert. Over $8 for dry and bland pieces of carrot cake. Simply put...no. There are tables under a tent where you could sit and eat and a few feral cats hanging around looking for scraps who are cute or of course you can take it to a park/your hotel/Airbnb, etc. For anything other than dessert, no problem returning or recommending. All good.

Flew Hilo from Kauai to see fam. Our flight suuuuper delayed so missed connecting and then new…read moreflight suuuuuper delayed and then our bags didn't even make it til 2 hours later. So we wanted some comfort food. Hubs said he would pick up food fast kine right before they closed and then run over to get our luggage. They were slammed and little bit unorganized so didn't get food til about 30 min after they closed...barely made it to grab bags. Hubs got the mustard cabbage soup...that was souper tasty! Came with whole container of rice... I got the pork belly saimin...ate some, then we all ate it for breakfast and still had some pork left for the next day breakfast. Buggah fatty but soft. Soup was a little salty for me, so I watered down for me and baby. $50-ish but choke food. Probs a new go to spot. Hopefully next time it won't be a day of delays...

The Lilikoi Butter and the Parmesan Truffle were my favorites. I'd highly recommend checking this place out!

First off, I am from Sinaloa, born and raised, and now live in California. I know what real Mexican…read morefood should taste like. Hands down, the quesabirria tacos and flautas are as good as they come--absolutely amazing. We happened upon this place on Yelp, and I was a little skeptical, but after the first bite, I felt transported back to Mexico. My entire family agreed that these are the best quesabirria tacos we have had outside of Mexico, and possibly even in Mexico. The flavors were amazing, and the consommé was absolutely delicious. We are regulars on the Big Island and normally do not eat Mexican food because we have never found a good spot, with the exception of Shaka Tacos. This place was really busy, and there was only one person working. She was doing it all--taking orders, collecting money, and making all the delicious food. She was never rude and was so pleasant. She said the cooks had called in and she was the only one there. Talk about dedication! She made sure everyone got their food, and it was made perfectly. I cannot commend her enough for all the work she did and for putting out an outstanding order of food. She is a real gem and should be treated as such! It is so hard to find good employees today, and her dedication and attitude inspired me. I wish we had gotten her name, but she said she is always there. If the food takes longer than you like, just be patient, because you are in for a treat when it comes out. Good food takes time, and the food is definitely worth the wait. We will definitely be coming back every time we are here. This place is a real gem. If I could give it more stars, I would. I hope everyone reading this takes my advice and goes to this wonderful place for the delicious food and the warm people.

There is something about the quality of the ingredients that makes this place different from other bahn mis. I've been here several times recently and the consistency of flavor is outstanding.

We found this bright red food truck opposite the Hilo Farmers Market right in downtown Hilo. When…read morewe first saw it, it was unfortunately closed(!). So we had to come back again as it was Indonesian food.... Pretty close to Malaysian food and the only one on the islands. There used to be an Indonesian restaurant in Honolulu opposite the McCully shopping center but that one unfortunately had closed some time back. We we're astatic to find this here in Hawaii because this style of food is poorly lacking here in Hawaii. So we did come back, not just once but several times to try Nia's Beef Rendang and Fried Chicken (Ayam Goreng) rice plates. Even in the rain, it was worth it! She pairs the main course with a unique coconut infused salad and/or tofu side. In all a great way to get a southeast Asian food fix! She is not open everyday but swing by on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Also be on a lookout for when she comes to Kona for the food truck festival. Nia is originally from Indonesia but also a long time resident in Hilo. It was great to "talk story" with her as it brought back good memories of Southeast Asia. Do swing by. As I certainly will be making this a regular stop.
