    I usually never leave reviews but this place is a 10/10 good af so I just had to. the owners are so…read moresweet and welcoming. they gave use samples of their catfish and smoked bbq chicken and just.. amazing. Their flavor is insane especially on the smoked chicken. Their bbq sauce is the owner's personal recipe and let me say it's definitely the best bbq we ever had. Also will definitely be going back for the fried oreos better than the state fairs imo. They have great pricing, big portions, and it's homemade definitely worth trying their place out !!

    I met these incredibly fun people through this FB food page, and we've been meeting up to eat at…read moredifferent places whenever I'm in town. One of them suggested Lacoy's and since I had read about them through the page, I also wanted to go too! They open at 11:30 and you can drive through this gate, when it's open, into the parking lot. My crazy @$$, drove along the side of the building and went to where they were. The owner, Shawna, told us we needed to wait in the parking lot. LOL! When she said they were ready, we ordered the shrimp and the bbq chicken. Since it was Wednesday, we got the special which came with all the sides. The chicken was sooooooo tender! The shrimp were nice and crispy! Loved the mac n cheese and those greens with the bacon... Soooooooo good! Nice butter corn and cornbread! Oh, and we got lumpia too...and you need to go early or they will be sold out! Shawna also gave a sample of the shrimp and catfish while we were waiting. That was really nice of her. This is one of those not so hidden gems worth driving to! If you're on your way to the North Shore, make a stop and grab some lunch! You won't be disappointed! Mahalo Lacoy's!

    My FAVORITE place to get Hawaiian food on the Big Island of Hawai'i, is a little food truck called…read more"Ono Hawaiian Food". They are located in the parking lot across the downtown shopping district of Hilo (in the park down from the KTA store and almost across Sig Zane). Look for the blue tarp with the 8 seats around a plastic folding table. The blue tarp is the give away when looking for it. It's run by Hawaiians, so you know the food is ONO (delicious). LUAU SQUID - My absolute favorite is the luau squid! It's made with fresh taro leafs stewed for along time with coconut milk and cut octopus. BOMBSHADIGGIDY ONOLICOUS!!! It taste just like the old days where grandma used to use the freshest ingredients to make the family favorites during dinner. A great portion (2 cups) served hot and steaming. You can get this with either poi or rice (get the poi!!!). $7.50 for the combination. Grade: A+ PORK LAULAU - super authentic laulau (taro leafs) steamed with fatty pork, salted fish. Wrapped in taro leafs and steamed for hours. Everything melts together because of the steaming. (Side order $4.00). Eat this with the poi and you have an authentic meal and tons of memories to talk about! Super ONO!. Grade: A! KULOLO - a dessert made of freshly grated taro root, coconut milk, and shreaded coconut. The consistency comes out like a sticky pudding / mochi. Not many places can make this old-time dish anymore. Found it here at the Ono Hawaiian Food Truck and glad I ordered it. You get a 4 x 6 slice of the dessert for $4.50. Well below market value (I've purchased this for double the price at other places). Grade: B+

    It's not great, but it's not terrible. Only been here a few times and not sure when I'll go again…read more Carne asada is ok; tried both the combo and meat only version. It could've been more flavorful, but it's not the worst burrito I ever had. Barbacoa was... interesting, to say the least. I have never had such fatty barbacoa where it was just bite after bite of fat. I think I got a bad batch, or it wasn't cooked long enough. It wasn't tender and had just... a lot of fat. The texture wasn't right and it felt like sticky mush in my mouth. Couldn't finish my barbacoa burrito due to the texture being so off. Tried picking at it with a fork and some of the fat would pull off like stringy, forgive me for this, snot. Also a bit disappointed that they don't have salsa and just hot sauce. Mouthful of Tapatio isn't the same as a quick, home made salsa. I understand this is a small business and local, and they are trying to keep costs down so some short cuts need to be made. Owner is nice though. He tries to make small talk with everyone so it does have a nice friendliness aspect. Would not recommend barbacoa. Chicken was ok. Carne asada was ok. Supporting small businesses is what keeps me coming back - if I feel like making the drive out here.

    Each time u visit Hawaii .. I try to make it out to this small truck. The food is so damn good. I…read moream usually at a resort.. so I crave something authentic from the Los Angeles. This little truck is right on the money.. Anyhow.. this popped up on my yelp.. so I am dropping this little message. - don't think about it too long... just go visit them.. The fish taco's are the best.
