Legacy Grinds Food Truck has been my go-to for 12 years, and it's truly become part of the family…read more By chance, we were lucky enough to meet this family behind the truck and become friends over the years. Our sons have grown up together, and this truck's been a constant presence. The portions are generous, the flavors bold, and the quality never falters. I'll always go back for the ribeye steak plate....perfectly cooked every time. With their friendly service and a decade-plus of memories, Legacy Grinds is more than food....it's a legacy we're proud to share

Love the food, quality and price. This food truck cranks out great tasting made to order meals…read more Such an affordable price for what you get. A must stop if you're in the Kapolei area.

We decided on one each of the Kalua Pig nachos and Chili nachos. Both of the small containers had a good amount of Kalua/Chili plus cheese. Overall not bad finger food to munch on while enjoying fabulous music and a drink. I'm sure they have much more to offer, might try them again in the future. 3.5 Stars round to 4

New food truck to the west side of the island located in the Hawaiian Homestead up Nanakuli Avenue,…read moreyou can't miss it its a white food truck with a bright green banner. Business hours are 5:00am-1:00pm and they serve breakfast from open till closing, and they also have a daily special menu, local lunch plates, and the usual hamburger, cheeseburger, and grill cheese. Although their daily special menu does change frequently maybe a new menu every week or so. The prices are awesome it's anything from $2.00-$9.00 so it's totally worth it and the food all taste delicious! And did I forget to mention they have a Acai Bowl which is made with local Anahola Granola and honey with bananas and blueberries. Smoke meat fried rice are also a winner, can't seem to get enough... Everything is so far so good!

We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

Stumbled upon this place because had to go get a haircut for my nephew at the Waipahu plantation…read moremarketplace. They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.

The line was pretty long but we wanted some pastele so we decided to get some food there. The workers were very friendly and portrayed Aloha! Loved that! There were several people inside getting plates together and one guy at the back of the truck at the BBQ cooking the food on the grill. We ordered: 1. Kalua Pig Nachos 2. BBQ Chicken & Pastele Combo with Gandule Rice 3. Pork Belly & Pastele Combo with Gandule Rice 4. BBQ Chicken Plate The food was okay. The chicken, rice and mac sald was a little bland but we were hungry so we ate some of it but did not finish it. I was hoping it was better that it was. It also took them a little while to get us our food. It could have been that they were very busy and short staffed as I saw another employee arrive while we were ordering. I am willing to try it again as the do have potential in the food and their menu sounded really good.

Bought 3 minis, turkey, roast pork and curry. All flavorful, all generous portions. Bonus brownie for dessert. Bad: be prepared to have a second choice ready. People call in orders and can wipe out a choice before the truck evens opens up. Understandable the the amount they give. If you attract mosquitos, spray some repellant, they are brutal found that out the hard way. Overall a great place to buy from, the worker is friendly and really busts his ass to keep the line moving.

I was on my way to Shabuya and ended up finding this food truck along the way as a happy accident…read more As a casual daily helper, I'm always looking at Yelp to help me find my next meal, so naturally I've heard of Laverne's for a while. When I found this food truck, I immediately wanted to stop by and see what the hype was about. I visited about 30 minutes before closing. The only thing they had run out of was the chop steak and one other protein, which wasn't too big of a deal for me. My eye was on the beef stew. Growing up in a Filipino household, I knew this dish as "caldareta." My dad would make this for me all the time. I asked for a bowl to go so I could enjoy it for dinner later. The first bite instantly sent me back to my family's home kitchen, where I would come home from school and find a pot of beef stew waiting for me. What I love about Hawaii is that it has a blend of cultures that I truly appreciate as a foodie, and experiences like this feel like a nostalgia tour. Thank you for this delicious meal. It made me miss my mom and dad a little more than I usually do. Food not only nourishes us, but also brings us back to a moment in time. I thank Laverne's for that.
