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!
It doesn’t get any better!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Great food, great tour! Been coming to the island for over 40 years and learned something new on the tour. Highly recommend!

Hanalei Taro is a highly recommended spot for authentic Hawaiian cuisine. The restaurant offers large portion sizes, making it good value for money, with dishes that highlight local flavors. Visitors enjoy a variety of meals, such as the taro burger (a vegetarian option), pulled pork lau lau plate with cooked taro leaves, and the savory Kalua pork sandwich with added sauce. The poi and taro flavors are especially praised for their fragrant and authentic taste, and the taro mochi cake is a popular dessert. The food truck provides fast, friendly service and has shaded seating with a great view, making it a convenient place for a quick lunch or snack. The menu includes Hawaiian staples like poi, lau lau, and taro-based dishes, which stand out from more touristy options like shave ice and pineapple. Visitors also appreciate the fast service, friendly staff, and the opportunity to support a local Hawaiian business. However, some find birds to be a nuisance, so feeding them is discouraged. Overall, Hanalei Taro offers a true taste of local Hawaiian food in a welcoming setting.
