Hula Truck is a newer food choice at the SAP Arena located upstairs when you are looking around for food options. At any food stall at a sporting event, the line can get long and the wait time is crazy. Also, they ran out of certain food items. Rice Bowl with Crispy Pork Belly. First off, it was pricey for the portion ~$25. The pork belly was ok and the sauce was a brownish wasabi-soy sauce. My other friends who also ordered the Crispy pork belly said, "the gravy sauce tasted weird to them." I'd try their other location. read more

After a few failed attempts to try Hula Truck at their downtown San Jose location, my friends finally brought me to their setup during a Sharks game and I'm glad they did. If you're checking out the concourse food and beverage map at the SAP Center, they're listed as Restaurant #220 - Hula Truck Hawaiian Barbecue on the second level. They had a cute little storefront sign, and once we ordered, we found a comfortable seating area nearby with TVs. I especially appreciated that it was slightly tucked away from the main foot traffic. it made the experience feel more relaxed and enjoyable. I ordered the poke nachos, which were delicious. The poke had a flavorful sauce with a subtle kick perfect even for someone like me who doesn't usually go for spicy food. The wonton chips were light, crispy, and not greasy, and they paired perfectly with the poke. It was just the right amount of food...filling but not too heavy. For dessert, my friend and I split the Halo-Halo with ube ice cream. It had a refreshing lychee flavor and wasn't overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. The staff was friendly, and it was great to learn that Hula Truck is run by a Filipino brother-and-sister team. As a fellow Filipino, it was nice to support their business and see them represented in such a visible way. 5 out of 5 for great food, great people, and a cute setup. I'm still hoping to catch them at their downtown location sometime soon! read more

What a bummer. I saw the truck at the recent FAHM Jam even at the Garden at the Flea in San Jose. I wasn't sure if it was the same as the now shuttered Hula Bar & Kitchen restaurant. But thought it might be and wanted to show support especially if they closed their restaurant. I waited about 45 mins in line just to place and order. Their meat options were limited to chicken adobo and kalua pork. I ordered the Da Situation which was tator tots with kalua pork, pico de gallo, and hula sauce. I also ordered their Bayrito burrito with chicken adobo, pico de gallo, hula sauce and cheese. To note, I have a picky kid and asked for the pico and hula sauce on the side for the tator tots. Another 15-20 mins for food to be called. When I got it, I noticed we didn't get the requested pico and hula sauce on the side. I asked for it and was told they were out of pico, but she did give me a little hula sauce in a small tray. We walked all the way to the car to eat our food. When we dug in, all I could taste was disappointment. The kalua pork was super dry and seemed fried. Thankfully my kid was happy with just the tator tots, but it was a let down for me. Even with the hula sauce, it wasn't very flavorful. It was just dried crispy bits of kalua pork. No smokiness, just crunchy pieces. The burrito was meagerly sized. The chicken adobo was not adobo'ing. It was just chicken. No real flavor to it and definitely did not taste like adobo. On top of that, there was no pico, and hula sauce in there, just some melted cheese maybe. I paid $15 for a low quality small burrito. It also taste like fried food. You know how fries smell, the smell of used oil or oil that's not been changed out? That's what it tasted like mostly. I was extremely disappointed. By the way, the girl who took my order did confirm they were the same as Hula Bar and Kitchen and that yes, they did close the restaurant. Such a huge disconnect. I loved the food they served in the resto, not sure why such disparity in quality with the truck. And the truck has been around longer. Plus supposedly they have a location at Levi's? Can't imagine the quality of these items flying over there. The staff didn't seem too happy to be there. It was a crazy busy night after all. But it definitely didn't add to the experience with the already depressing food. read more

This bad boy was parked right outside my apartment community and I was compelled to try it out. They have an eclectic but seemingly yummy looking menu. I was not very hungry so I just got an appetizer, my mamas lumpia. They are your standard egg rolls with deep fried shells and a not so standard filling of ground pork, shrimp and water chestnuts. I enjoyed the crunchy outer cover and the savory inside. The sweet and spicy sauce on the side was a nice addition. Definitely gonna try out the other offerings if I come across this truck again. 8/10 would go back again! read more

3.5 stars In the Bay Area, it's not unusual to see Hawaiian and Filipino foods and cultures intersect. On the Hula Truck menu, you'll find both kalua pork and chicken adobo. I was able to try the latter in their Rice, Rice Baby dish. Boneless, skinless chicken thigh had the essence of adobo but wasn't executed with consummate skill; could not discern bold, classic vinegar-soy sauce-garlic flavoring. The adobo rice, though a bit mushy, had more striking flavor. We also tried "Mama's Lumpia," a generous potion of egg rolls that seem to be their version of Lumpiang Shanghai with a flavorful, moist filling of pork, green onions, & water chestnuts. Wrapper was not greasy but had that satisfying crunch with every bite that I dipped into the side of sweet chili sauce! Make a beeline for the truck with a hula girl painted on -- she's got the bomb lumpia. Total for two items was $21. read more

Even though it really hasn't been all that long since my trip to Hawaii, I'm dying to go back. Sure, finally finishing all of my reviews probably has something to do with it, but what is there not to miss about that island life? The beaches, the gorgeous sunsets, the beautiful weather, the food, the tanned and pretty girls...sigh. Alas, I may not be able to do much about most of those, but at least I can still find some of those tasty grinds! While I may not have known much about the Hula Truck before randomly stumbling across them, I was stoked to check them out after I skimmed through their menu and scrolled through their reviews on Yelp. Their menu isn't purely Hawaiian (half of it is Filipino), but just about everything sounded equally delicious - from from Hawaiian plate lunches, to burritos, to some delicious looking tots. So much so, in fact, that I knew I was going to have to make multiple trips here before I could write this review! --MY MAMA'S LUMPIA - Deep Fried Egg Rolls Filled with Ground Pork, Shrimp, and Water Chestnuts served with a Sweet Chili Sauce...$7.75 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hula-truck-santa-clara?select=p2Jr81x-nZ-Cf1uH3LJwog) To this day, no lumpia has ever topped the ones my friend's mom made for me years ago, but these were pretty damn close! Not only are they fried up perfectly, but they're super meaty and just straight up delicious with or without the sauce. Honestly, I'd come back just for this! -- BAYRITTO - Choice of Meat with Crispy Tater Tots, Pico de Gallo, Cheese, and their Hula Sauce...$9.75 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hula-truck-santa-clara?select=GLmoebPsOwVgdA6U_birTQ) I've had this with their LECHON KAWALI (Crispy Pork Belly), KAHLUA PORK, and CHICKEN ADOBO and all three were terrific. I liked the crispiness of the fried pork belly (and the tots) and how the adobo didn't have a lot of vinegar to it, but the Kahlua Pork was my favorite, as it had a nice, peppery flavor to it. Add an egg for $1 if you want to "hula it up". -- HULA'S PLATE - Plate Lunch with Jasmine Rice, Mac Salad, and Choice of Meat...$10.75 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hula-truck-santa-clara?select=A9ZTMf4G3a46WGn-8yv6jA) Apparently, getting the PORK TOCINO (Sweet Marinated Pork) was the right call, as I got the last scoop! The sweetness got to be a bit much after a while, but I thought this was pretty good (super juicy). As for the mac salad, it was fine but nothing all that special. Beyond how good I've found the food from the Hula Truck to be, I was just as impressed with how fast the service is here. Most food trucks are decently quick, but it felt like my orders have come out especially quick from these guys. Perfect for grabbing a quick lunch on the go...and to get my hands on their amazingly good Hula Truck! Whenever I see these guys around, it's hard for me to pass them up. Especially if it means getting a shot at finally trying their Da Situation totchos! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now. read more

Mannnnn I love this spot lol- I get excited whenever I hear their truck is in town which means I can get myself a bayrito/bayrrito (however it's spelled)- tater tots in a burrito?! Heck. YES. As of now, it's $9.75 for a bayrito or Da Situation (no tortilla, basically loaded tater tots), and +$1 for a fried egg incorporated. You have meat choices of: chicken adobo, pork tocino, lechon kawali (fried pork belly), and kalua pork. I've gone with the bayrito twice now- the first time it was a little oily, but the second time just really hit the spot without as much oil. The meat and tater tots are combined beautifully that I get both in every bite! (With pico de gallo too) Don't forget to grab some mango sriracha on the side- they have little container cups for you to add it if you like it on the side or are on the go! read more

SO GOOD!! Tried the lumpias and they were honestly perfectly cooked. I had a couple when they came fresh out and saved a couple for later - and they tasted just as amazing even after a few hours! I have to say these were probably some of the best lumpias I've had in the Bay Area! I also tried the Adobo Omelette and it delicious! The chicken was super flavorful and they gave me a spicy sauce with it which was the perfect kick. Also service was super fast! There were almost 10+ people when I got there but everyone's orders were out within 5-10 minutes. Appreciated that they were not only quick with orders but also super sanitary so I could feel at ease while eating my food. I plan to be back soon to try their burrito cause that sounds amazing and hope to continue supporting this food truck because not only is their food amazing but they're also local! Definitely recommend a visit if they're in the area!! read more

I discovered this food truck at off the grid in San Mateo over the summer! They attended every Wednesday, and I attended most weeks.

I'd been following the Hula truck on IG for awhile now. Finally the stars aligned and they were close enough by and I was free. They were at a local brewery over the weekend. I like that I can support two businesses in one and enjoy both yummy food and drink. I arrived soon after they opened and the line was long. I think we ended up waiting like 20-25 minutes to order. Also it was close to lunch time so I think everyone was pretty hungry. The line was steady but way shorter as the afternoon went on, until the truck left for the day. We ordered the bayrito with tocino, Da situation with lechon and the lumpia. Everything we had was good. The bayrito was stuffed with the sweet pork and tater tots and we even added an egg to it. The tater tots added a nice crunch but the longer you wait, they will get soggy in the burrito so try to enjoy it fresh. Also loved the flavor of the tocino. I just wish the pieces of pork were cut slightly smaller so that I'm not pulling a huge piece of pork with some bites. The egg really brought it together. Da situation is just loaded tater tots - with your choice of protein and of course you can get an egg on top, which we did. The tater tots were fresh and hot and crunchy - so good. We got it with lechon and the pork belly unfortunately seemed double fried, as in it was left over from a previous time or cooked earlier and then re-heated up again. I might get it again to give it a second try but it wasn't the best when we went, as it was just overly crispy and dry. And the lumpia was just alright - it was good but I think I've had better at other places. I did appreciate the freshness and the sweet dipping sauce it came with. I really wanted to try the adobo omelet and the rice plate with some of their other proteins so I'll have to keep stalking them and hopefully can try more stuff off their menu soon. read more

Their slogan is that they will put eggs on anything, and they honestly are correct in that regard. Pretty much everything they have has the option of having egg on it. Which is great if you're an egg lover like myself. Who doesn't love cholesterol? Service is fast, but I wish they had more meat options? It's pretty much chicken and pork so that might limit your preference and what you might end up getting. Prices are pretty typical of food trucks. It's not as cheap as you would expect, but the quality is always top notch. Or most of the the time at least. The burrito with egg and tater tots was fantastic. Overall, a big thumbs up! read more

Met up Rodney H on Friday, July 24th around 6:30pm for Off the Grid: Fort Mason. I wasn't very hungry when I got there, so I had a drink at Interval before coming back to have dinner. I wanted to try a new truck, so I decided on Hula. *Da situation ($8.50): crispy tots topped with crispy pork belly, pico de gallo, shredded cheese & their special hula sauce (no sour cream) Yum! I love tater tots! Throw some pork belly and cheese on them and I'm in heaven. The tots and belly were crispy while the pico de gallo, cheese and hula sauce made it all melty and comforting. I added a bunch of their hot sauce to give it some kick. This was so good, I finished the whole thing by myself! *My mamas lumpia ($6): deep fried egg rolls filled with ground pork, shrimp and water chestnuts, served with sweet chili sauce I thought these were okay. Not the best lumpia I've ever had, but it's a good egg roll. A nice portion as well. I'd come back again just for Da Situation! Maybe I'll even add an egg next time. read more

Every Thursday theres an Off The Grid in Sunnyvale . So I rolled my Work Whip Big Ken there. I stashed Big Ken in the Parking lot. I Street hiked to the food trucks. There were 7 different Gourmet Food Trucks there. The Hula Truck caught my attention. I like Hawaiian food . I ordered Lumpia which is hand made by the Owners Mom . It was very tasty I also ordered off the Seceret Menu- Lechon Kawaii with Longonisa Sausage ,Steamed Rice with a Fried Egg on top and Pickled Squash.. This was the Bomb . Very filling also. The Owner and the Servers on the Truck were Friendly and Nice. Next Time Ill try the Bayrito. read more

This food truck had some of the best of chicken adobo I ever had. I liked the boneless chicken adobos than the boned chicken adobo. The chicken was so tender and moist. The only personal disappointment was that they ran out of Macaroni salad which would have made my rice bowl have a flavor massive explosion . It was like having one of the greatest hot chocolate chip cookie and having no milk. Next time I will only purchase if they have macaroni salad. read more

I have never tasted anything more heavenly in my life.... THE BAYRITO. The idea that my favorite Filipino dish (Chicken Adobo) and my favorite form of Potatoes (Tater Tots) in the same domain just blew my mind. HULA TRUCK, if you're reading this I salute you to this wonderfully made combination :') I encourage everyone to follow them on social media sites to track them down and devour their amazing food. My friend and I also ordered the Da Situation tots and they were good too but I was expecting the lechon to be Krispy. WARNING: Wait is pretty long if you're not there at the start, So get there really early or come when they're about to wrap things up. TBH the wait is worth. read more

Hula Truck - Adobo BayRitto So tasty - Filipino Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Definitely one of the better food trucks in terms of taste and value, Hula Truck served a variety of classic Pacific Islander dishes - lumpia, papaya salad, Adobo, etc. They call it fusion because they have a burrito and a tatertot inspired dish, but the normal flavors are all there. I got the "Da Situation" with crispy pork belly and an egg ($9.50), and it was pretty darn tasty. One of the many failings of food trucks and pork belly is usually an overwhelming amount of oil and fat -- which is normally what I look for, but I also like a little bit of texture. Hula Truck is one of the few places that can pull it off. Additionally, the tater tots were very, very good. I know they're just tater tots, but after eating mediocre tater tots from dining halls and cafeterias, their perfectly-crisp-outside, piping-hot-inside tater tots were certainly some of the best that I've had in awhile. I've had their Hula Burrito before as well, but with cured Filipino pork (tocino) ($8.50), which was also very good. I actually liked it a little better than Da Situation, because it came with a less-heavy starch to bind the whole dish together. Do note that, despite how tasty it is, you will likely feel like crap if you eat the entire thing. It's a very rich, fried, egg-y (if you choose) experience, so come hungry. I had to drink about four cups of tea before I felt okay to function again. Still, it was very tasty; I'll be back. --- sweet: great meat seasoning, portions. Decently priced. bitter: HEAVY dishes. Could use a bit more of those tomatoes, maybe pickled veggies? read more

Just tried this place out and it didn't disappoint! They were one of two trucks at a FREE event at Fremont with FREE food! Obviously the portions were down scaled because it was a hosted event but that was fine. We tried the Kalua pig sliders and DA Situation. The pork in the slider was a tad bit salty but the lightly toasted buns were amazing! Da Situation though, was bomb! Tator tots topped with chicken adobo and their hula sauce with onions! I'd def order this again and add an egg along with it. read more

Definitely recommend getting the Bayrito and get it with an egg...you will not be disappointed. The chicken adobo in the burrito is so flavorful. Also how can you possibly go wrong with combining two delicious things? Chicken adobo+Burrito = party in your mouth. It doesn't taste like a Mexican burrito which was what I was expecting so I was really surprised (and happy) that the chicken adobo , along with their Hula Verde sauce, resulted in a burrito with a whole new flavor. And for those of you from SoCal who, every now and then, fall into a small depression from missing the deliciousness that is the California Burrito, the Bayrito comes close since it's also stuffed with crispy golden tater tots!! Also the folks in this truck are super friendly and gave my friend and I extra sauce for our Bayrito. I hope this truck comes back to Off the Grid in Cupertino so I can try more things off their menu. read more

Tator tots INSIDE of a burrito??? Genius. Hula Truck was at Off the Grid Sunnyvale at Sports Basement and I had to try their Bayrito - a burrito with a choice of meat, tator tots, and pico de gallo salsa. They had a listing of the available meats for the day on their board in front of their truck. I had trouble deciding between chicken adobo and kalua pork, so I asked the cashier what she recommended. She said she preferred the pork, so that's what I went with. I added on an egg for an extra $1. The Bayrito was delicious! The kalua pork was really good and it went well with the tater tots! Between the tots and the egg, it tasted like an amazing breakfast burrito. I wonder if they do brekkie service...? I can't wait to go back to their truck to get the Bayrito again, but with a different kind of meat next time! read more

Hula Truck - Bayrito with kalua pork! - Filipino Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I purposely ate plain oatmeal this morning so I could devour whatever it is I was going to get from this gastronomic food truck. I normally don't crave Filipino food but something about this truck's outrageous combinations attracted me like a magnet and since I was a good girl during breakfast time, I decided to feast during lunch. I ordered the Rice plate with crispy lechon and the Bay Rito with tocino. The rice plate was surprisingly tasty! I was expecting soggy pig belly fat. Do not get this dish if you don't mind some explosive fat action in your mouth as you grind on the crispy pork pieces. They were crispy, fatty, and all sorts of delicious. Not an ounce of sadness in that dish! I recommend getting the mango sriracha sauce on the side to dip, although they do provide a sauce for the papaya salad. The Bay Rito was also one for the gluttonous books. Imagine a densely packed burrito with tater tots, egg, and your protein of choice.I chose tocino because I wanted a better balance of flavor and sweetness to the mix. It was also tasty, but too dense for my liking especially since I had to return to work right after. This choice is great if you're looking for a gut bomb! Overall, this is a solid food truck choice if you're in the mood for fat, greasy, filipino favorites. Just make sure you don't consume it before going back to work. I'm due for a walk sesh, ya'll. read more

Choose this place among the many food vendors available at TreasureFest on Treasure Island because the bayrito sounded too good to pass up. I got it with Tocino and paid the extra to have it with the egg. It was DELICIOUS. All the sauces were mixed together in a harmonious combination of savoy flavor. The pico brought freshness and the tots brought the crunch! Ugh I love tater tots so much. The egg added a lot of flavor. I don't know how they created that flavor combo but once I hit the yolk my tastebuds were in heaven. The yolk and sauce together create such a heavenly indulgent flavor that must be tried. Also add some of that mango sriracha cuz it is bomb. After being very disappointed with my past few breakfast burritos in life, I was so happy to have one that DELIVERED. The only thing I didn't like was my meat choice. The tocino was fattier than I would have liked, though my Filipino boyfriend informed me that tocino is meant to be somewhat fatty. So that was my bad. I would get this again but with a different meat choice. I was also happy that the bayrito was not as overly indulgent as some Yelpers made it seem. My boyfriend ordered Rice Rice Baby and really enjoyed it. We also shared the lumpia. It was cooked well and had good flavor but was nothing spectacular. Basically try the bayrito with your favorite meat and add the egg. One star deducted cuz the tocino brought my burrito down a click and the other food seemed only slightly above average. read more

Just hunks of barely cooked fat in a bowl with a barely cooked egg on top. Very unappetizing. Not to mention the disgusting piece of hair in my food. Sad to say I wasted $15 on food that went straight in the garbage. Maybe we other items they make are good but I will never find out. I'm thinking hair nets and even one for facial hair is needed!

I was able to sample their dish named Da Situation it is a combo of tater tots, pico da gallo, cheese, tocino, crispy pork belly and a fried egg, I opted for the plate version as opposed to the burrito version. On a whole the idea is great, but maybe I had a bad batch that day, there was limited amount of meat on the dish, few bits of tocino, and fewer bits of lechon, the meat sadly was not up to par, the tocino was rubbery in taste (usually means the meat has sat out for awhile), the crispy pork belly was not crispy it was chewy not gonna knock on this meat since getting it super crispy means it has to be deep fried on the spot and served in the first few minutes out the deep fryer, the pico da gallo was standard, the fried egg was flash fried egg on bottom only making the top super runny. Putting all these components together it is just a pass in my book, the idea again is great but maybe I just had a bad batch that day. they do have several other options in a burrito form or plate menus, I will have to come back and try something else again with the ingredients they picked has to be I had a bad batch. food *** da situation plate price $$ service **** ambiance *** OTG SerraManila sit where you can find a seat read more

When you're not in the mood for a light salad and want to get your eat on! Very rich comfort food with a Filipino (and Hawaiian) flair. A lot of trucks are doing the whole Filipino fusion thing (burritos, sandwiches, etc.) but I'm not quite tired of it yet. Da Situation w/ Chicken Adobo & Egg: There is a lot going on here! Tater tots covered with cheese, salsa, spicy cream sauce, chicken adobo and an egg. They should seriously give a few free Crestor tablets with this meal. In terms of taste, it's pretty amazing. The tots are crispy on the outside and soft inside; seemed freshly fried to order. The chicken adobo was tender and full of vinegary goodness. I really liked the red creamy sauce. The egg felt like a bit overkill since so much was already going on. I guess the only thing that could make it better would be a little adobo sauce on the side to dip the tots in. Unfortunately, you can't really pour it over (like you can with rice) or else the tots would get soggy real quickly. My Mamas Lumpia: Pretty standard. Didn't seem as freshly fried as the tater tots. For all the praise on the truck's signs, I was expecting something out of this world. It was decent. read more

My coworkers have been talking about how good the foods are from the Hula truck and go to the Hula truck every other week. This week, the Hula week visit the parking lot close to work again and I decided to try out the Hula Truck with my coworkers. I've ordered the BayRitto with Kalua Pork. The first 1-2 bites of the BayRitto I can taste how salt overwhelm the entire thing and the next thing that hits me is how heavy the BayRitto is. The Hula Verde Sauce didn't make the Bayritto any better but made it much heavier and harder to eat. As I finished 1/3 of the BayRitto I stopped and don't think I can take another bite until much later. 2.5 hours after my first bite of BayRitto I decided to deconstruct the BayRitto and taste the ingredients by itself and see what went wrong with this BayRitto. As the deconstruction happen, the Egg, Tater Tots, Pico Degallo, Cheese, and sour cream are all find. It doesn't taste heavy or disgusting. But as I take a bite of the Kalua Pork, all I can taste is grease and salt. I cannot taste the pork or any other ingredient that cook the pork. End of the day, I think this will be my first and last meal from the Hula Truck. I can understand why this is popular and can be good drunk food. But I don't think I will ever eat anything from here. read more
