15 Best Food Trucks near Hanalei

“We had the lamb gyros for lunch. Good news / bad news. After we paid she said it would be 5 minutes. 😟 But each entre is made fresh for each customer! 😆 Super fresh, quality ingredients in generous portions made lunch delicious! And the price was reasonable. 👍 I highly recommend this place. Oh, and they have two covered picnic tables. A very nice amenity for the moody north coast weather. 🤣“

“Looking for an AMAZING salad? Go Here NOW!!! I had the Gaucho Salad with the Ranch dressing. Omg. Absolutely delicious. 💕🌺💕“

“Great place to try authentic Indian food! I ordered the coconut shrimp curry, and it was really delicious, nicely spiced and full of flavor. I got it medium, and honestly, it was still pretty spicy. I usually eat and enjoy spicy food, but this had some serious heat, so I probably wouldn’t recommend going “hot” unless you’re very confident.
The service and atmosphere were both on point. Even though it was busy, our order came out pretty quickly, which was impresive.
Highly recommend!“

“Always a must stop for us when we’re staying on Kauai’s Northshore! Kalua Pork, chicken, rice, mac salad, etc. hit a home run every time!“

“Quick service, quality ingredients and amazing flavor!“

“Deeeeelicious. Burgers are dope and tots are dope-r!“

“Delicious poke. VERY expensive.

The poke here is outstanding. Very fresh and flavorful and their flavor choices are awesome. Love the toppings too. But the portion is incredibly small for the price so we probably will not return. There is poke just as good for more affordable at other places!

Outdoor only seating on a small patio but we didn’t have trouble finding a table.“

“I have been coming to Pat's Taqueria for over 10 years now, we make it a point to stop in every time. Highly convenient location at the Hanalei pier, its also a quick drive or walk down from Pine Trees, He'e street, or the pavilion if you choose to go there. Its a popular spot and the food truck is only so big so you have to wait and enjoy the surrounding views for a few moments, but that's not big deal as the anticipation of a fantastic taco makes it that much more delicious. I've had all of their tacos, you cant go wrong they are equally as phenomenal as the next. Any one that complains about price is nit picking because its 100% worth every penny.\n\nKeep on keeping on!“

“I have had a lot of pizza as it is one of my favorite foods. I even have my own pizza oven I cook my own. This is easily in my top 3 pizzas of all time. The base was amazing with good leoparding on the bottom. The crust had some great crispy crust. They are just 🤌🏼! I got the Kauai Beef Short Rib, and the toppings were just spectacular! Plus either the owner or one of the cooks has perfect music tone as well. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Awesome food! Service was great and the 2 neighborhood dogs were so sweet!“

“We stopped here for coffee on our trip. I had a delicious Americano with a little macnut flavor. We also got the sourdough banana bread and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it might actually be the best banana bread I’ve ever had in my life. Do yourself a favor and order it! 🍌🍞

There is an outdoor seating in a beautiful garden space, but it was a drizzly morning and most people were taking their coffee to go. It seems to be a popular with locals — the few people we chatted with in line live in the area. There was a steady stream of people; I’d call it busy but not crowded and the barista served us all at a steady paced that felt efficient. He acknowledged everyone as they walked up and didn’t seem too bothered when I asked a couple questions about the plants in the seating area. I was careful to only ask two questions since he was busy and I can talk a lot! 😅

Overall the atmosphere felt friendly and relaxed and I wish I’d had an opportunity to come back during my trip.“

“Finding reasonably priced food that actually tastes good in Kauai is hard (in my opinion). This breakfast omelette was very tasty with hashbrowns, my husband liked the chicken stir fry. We went to this truck originally because we saw online they had Ahi, but it wasn't available. I would recommend this food truck for breakfast!“

“Killer views and food. If you experience some light showers, be sure to look over to the bay to catch a brief, yet beautiful rainbow! 🌈 Beware of the chickens, we saw 2 people mildly attacked while walking to sit with their açaí bowls😂😬.“

“My husband and I love Thai food. My kids haven’t had much, but they’re not picky eaters. We came here and Hanalei Burger and Nick’s were closed. So we tried Thai Elephant. The food was fast and fresh. We ordered the red chicken combo and the shrimp pad Thai. Not the best Thai we’ve ever had. I don’t think people are coming to Hanalei Burger or Nick’s for the best burger ever, but Thai Elephant was better than expected, hit the spot, and we would definitely eat here again. My family, including the kids, ate every last bite.“

“We stopped here with family (6) on a Sunday evening in September, we had no wait to sit outside. The food was delicious and came out hot and fresh. I LOVE the cali burrito and the kids favorite is the bean burrito. We love Pacos Tacos. ❤️🌮🌮“
