I refuse to post under Hanapepe Friday Night's, due to the poor naming conventions. Yelp! Let's get…read moreone listing for this amazing Friday Night Artwalk in Hanapepe. Please? I have an Aunty who used to live in Hanapepe so it's already close to my heart. Then throw in amazing local businesses and vendors and well I'm spending hundreds of dollars to fly over from O'ahu so I don't miss the events. Most recently I flew over to say goodbye to MachineMachine, the owner Shannon was set up in a building that was repurposed from an automotive shop to a retail space. Sadly she moved to a warehouse in Lawai. So she's no longer participating in the Hanapepe Art Walk. I've read that there's a lady who sets up a Haku (head lei) table and accepts donations only. Sadly I've never been there when she's there. I noticed some of the storefronts like Little Fish were closed on this trip. I was told that other towns like Kilauea are also doing Friday events and some vendors don't want to travel to the other side of the island anymore. But I noticed an entire new retail space, that's exciting! Regardless, there's plenty to eat! Persian food, Puerto Rican, Hawaiian BBQ, Thai, and the pie stand is to die for. Make sure you come hungry! Behind the spice store there's an old bridge, make sure you check it out. Also there's an interesting space next to the post office the sign marks the pathway "Storybook", two chairs were set up on a stage. But there was no one in sight. The Friday Artwalk is definitely an adventure that I recommend to tourists and locals alike!

I noticed this Food truck at Salt Pond Beach park. They serve three main things: Kalua pork Bao…read morebuns, shave ice and chili! I don't know whether eating at the beach imporves the food experience but this was a very welcome change from the usual restaurant or fast food take outs. The Kalua pork was so tender, mouthwatering and moist, served shredded over bao buns (Chef Carla says she gets them made on Oahu), sliced onions, carrots, cabbage and cilantro with some secret sauce - it was superbs steaming hot and perfectly sized to eat at the beach. The shave ice with cream was just the right size and sweetness. Ask for as many syrups as you want to put over the whole thing. Ask for cream ( Milk) over the hwole desert/drink. It was awesome and freshly made. I could really tell the differences in the flavors of the syrups. We got comped a whole heaping serving of chili - chili with cheese, sliced up hot dogs over tortilla chips, and everything was generously covered with this. Not a single chip went without this yummy goodness. I wish I had taken their number! Look for the Yellow half-sized food truck.

The fish plate was incredible -- perfectly cooked with a great blend of fresh, bold flavors that really stood out. The burrito was solid as well, packed generously and full of flavor.

On a Monday at 11:45 we were the only customers and each ordered two tacos, fish and carnitas. You order at the window and they call you when the food is ready.

They were pretty quick and reasonably priced with tacos around $7 each.

If you're looking for the best poke on Kauaʻi, Whitney's is an absolute must-visit. This hidden gem…read moreof a Kauaʻi food truck serves some of the freshest, most flavorful poke on the island. The fish is incredibly fresh, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and every bite is packed with flavor. Their poke bowls are always on point, but you HAVE to try the poke nachos with the big shrimp chips -- such a good combo and seriously addicting. The sushi burritos are another standout -- perfectly rolled, loaded, and super satisfying if you want something quick but still high quality. Everything feels intentional and consistently good. Portions are generous, flavors are balanced, and it's easily one of the top poke spots on Kauaʻi. If you're visiting or a local searching for best poke near me, poke bowls Kauaʻi, or Kauaʻi food trucks, Whitney's needs to be on your list. You can usually find them in Hanapēpē Town on Fridays and Waimea on the weekends, but definitely follow their Instagram for the latest updates. Definitely a spot you'll keep coming back to

My husband got the tofu musubi, which came with a really tasty peanut sauce that paired so well with it. The setup is also really cute and aesthetic, with a good amount of seating and umbrellas for shade, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy your food. It's definitely picture-worthy. Another plus is the location; there's plenty of street parking, and it's surrounded by other great foodie spots, so it's perfect for a little food crawl. They also sell cute merch, which I couldn't resist; I picked up a sticker for my journal! The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you love musubi or just want a cute, casual food spot, this place is a must-try. We'll definitely be back!

The BEST Mexican food on Kaua'i, no lies!…read more We got the breakfast burritos at 1pm on a Wednesday. We parked on the dirt next to the skincare clinic--make sure to be past their sign/not inside the clinic's parking lot. Taco Libre is located in a lot with other food trucks, including Aloha Always which has the best açaí bowls. The lady working at the truck was super sweet and friendly, she recommended half al pastor and half carne asada for the burritos, and they did not miss! The tortilla had a beautiful grill on them but still soft, the cheese inside the burrito was ooey gooey and the meat was moist and flavorful with no fatty/chewy bits. The burrito was a great size and served with side of rice and beans. Both their red sauce and green sauces were delicious, I didn't find them spicy but some might. They also had pickled red onions and pickled jalapeños by the sauces and they were a tasty addition to our meal. Plenty of seating available all around the lot, Taco Libre has its own family style seating right next to their truck. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes from this food truck! Don't forget to ring the bell if you liked the food! :D
