    Mmm

    Always good quality food. Never disappointed. My girls love the simple bearwiches and fries. I've basically tried most of the menu items some of my faves are the ahi sandwich and daily specials

    Food truck fans and grass area to eat.

    Mama bear sign is not very noticeable on the street and you may need to turn around if you miss this food truck area. I insist you get their loco moco, absolutely delicious! Fast friendly service! Definitely will be back next time I'm in the area!!

    Pastrami Philly Style and Fries
    Garrett L.

    This is a great stop if you're hungry. I got the Philly style Pastrami Sandwich (a Thursday special), my dad got the smash burger, and my mom got a chicken caesar. The sandwich was quite large and did not skimp on meat, and while greasy and messy, the pastrami was extremely flavorful. It came with a generous portion of fries, which were also crispy and well-seasoned. My only complaint is that the fries could have been a little bit hotter, but they were still warm. My dad also enjoyed his burger, and my mom said her salad was fine, but nothing special (though it is hard for a caesar from a food truck to be too spectacular). At $18 for the sandwich and fries (I believe the burger and fries was the same price), it is not exactly cheap, but typical for Kauai prices, and you will definitely leave full and with good quality food.

    The food was delicious and the service was fast! We were exhausted after snorkeling and heard about this place from Captain Andy's crew. Everything hit the spot! Perfect post snorkeling fuel!

    Came here before our big day at waimea canyon and it filled us up with such delicious foods!! Tried their monte bear cristo which is pictured. It was soooo good and the jam is dreamy! It's like a french toast with jam but a sandwich. Da gourmet burger was delicious but my son ate it all. The kale and beet salad was delicious and refreshing. The avocado toastie was so good too but it needed a sprinkle of sea salt. That's the only complaint. The people were also lovely. Please visit!!

    The food was delicious. I had their special of the day curry katsu chicken. You order and they deliver to your car. They make your food after you place your order.

    Old school food truck in the rural part of Kauai. Yes lives up to hype.. it's a good find for well made food, good portions (can compete with more expensive places on Oahu) and big plus reasonable prices. For example the blackened ahi sandwich for $15 is an absolute steal. Fresh ahi that's slightly fried on the outside enough to give a good crispy shell. The tartar sauce is excellent. Service is friendly and helpful. They didn't assume that ahi was going to be raw in the middle would be ok and gave the courtesy in asking. Maybe they thought I was a mainlander. Another excellent sign see a steady flow of locals coming here. Highly recommended.

    seating available under trees

    Had smash burger came with cheese, grilled onions, bbq and fries. Amazing, enough for two. Can't believe it came from a food truck. Would drive anywhere on the island for their burgers.. fries the bomb as well! Great service. We could sit on some rocks near by all fine.

    This place was the highlight of our trip! Da Smash Burger, delicious and hearty portions with fries. It hit the spot. 5/5 The Thursday Special, Blackened Ahi sandwich was out of this world. The ahi was cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of red onion and the aioli was to die for, all on the perfect delivery device, the brioche bun. 5/5 Grilled cheese and fries for the kids were scarfed down so quick, I didn't get a chance to try. 5/5 The family that runs Mama Bear's are the absolute sweetest. Highly, highly recommend!

    You must stop and go here if you haven't before. Boujee Bfast and Bearrito are my go to options when I stop here in the mornings. The smash burger is also amazing. The specials go quick so if one looks good when you there, might as well get it. Great food, great owners. Worth the stop, all the time.

    We stopped in on the way to a boat tour. The Smashburger and fries are delish at this little roadside food truck.

    We came down from Waimea Canyon and we have the sudden urge of some sweet treats. And came across…read moreto this Filipino convenient store. Perfect! My Filipino in me was so happy especially when I saw that halo-halo. This store got lotsa snacks for the road. They got deli that includes cold wrap & sandwiches, lemonade, boba drinks and smoothies and some Filipino groceries that reminds me of home. I got muncher (a Filipino green peas snack) and a can of Filipino corned beef. I also got banana turon paired with fresh buko. It heart was so happy. The Filipino couple who owned the store was so friendly and are the happiest to talk to. Ate & Kuya I'll be back! Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yeeps!

    We stumbled across a really cute variety store after going to the Coconut Corner across the street…read more The shop is owned by a really cute mom and pop and they have many great options for folks that I think are superior to the options at Coconut Corner. They offer fruit smoothies that are much bigger than those across the street - $8 for 20 oz of fresh fruit smoothies instead of $9 for like 10 ounces across the street. They also offer other desserts like boba teas and halo halo, which we found to be very delicious and very reasonably priced. This would be great place to stop by before or after your hike at Waimea for baked goods, trail mix/chips, sandwiches and/or teas and dessert. I would highly consider ordering sandwiches and snacks to-go and then having them on my hike. I also ordered a malasadas and bought some trail mix for the road - all packaged by 4tea. I think the price points are great and the owners are very kind. However, I noticed the downside of this store is the small signage, which I couldn't even see eating at Island Taco. But what we did was park near Island Taco (since they do not have their own lot but instead they share the lot with a private homeowner). So I would park on the street or nearby and walk over. Alongside the trail mix, they also have fruit candies, chips, bakery items, and sandwiches of all kinds - all very reasonably priced. It's hard because this place does not have seating, but you can easily grab this food to go and enjoy it at a beach nearby like Salt Pond Park. I hope this business does well and that they get more foot traffic, which is why I'm writing this thorough review, noticing that they aren't on Yelp yet - Hope this local business does well!
