The malasadas are made fresh to order, so expect a wait (it took about 20 minutes with a few parties ahead of us). There's a 3-piece minimum for $11 and an extra $1.50/2 for each filling. We wanted to try the ube malasadas but they weren't available. The standouts here are definitely the unfilled malasadas. The Original with Cinnamon Sugar was amazing--hot, fresh, and the dough beats other malasadas on the island. Skip the Ube Cheesecake filling. It had no ube flavor and a bizarrely strong, alcohol-like aftertaste (maybe too much vanilla extract?) that made it hard to finish. The Li Hing with Guava was okay, but the filling leaned a bit artificial.

I decided to try a spicy garlic chicken plate with side salad and fries. The spicy garlic chicken…read moreis not on their menu, but they have other spicy stuff, so I asked if they could make the chicken that way. They were very accomodating and helpful. The order came out fairly quickly and as you can see from the pic, its a large portion - I couldnt finish it in two sittings. The chicken was not as crunchy as I would have liked, but it tasted great and was moist and tender inside. The lack of crunchiness may have been my fault since I added a little extra Sriracha on top of everything. I recommend Da Braddahz Grinds and will be back!

Before our wedding, Mark and his wife took an opportunity to make it a point to get to know us. In that meeting we learned not only about the experience and skills they possessed, but the authenticity of their hearts to truly serve us. On the day of, they were warriors championing through the Hilo rain (surprise, surprise it rained in a hilo wedding), cooking, moving things around, and presenting everything to perfection. Before we could even thank them for their service, they had already left, ensuring the attention stayed on us on our wedding day. I would recommend their catering service to anyone and just incase you were wondering, yes their food was KILLAHZ.

I had been planning this destination wedding from California and it was not easy choosing vendors blindly without ever trying the food! But the food looked great on their IG page and after communicating with Mark, he definitely knew what he was doing. He gave me some recommendations since I wanted a Hawaiian-Filipino theme. The bbq skewers, bistek, pancit, macaroni salad + poke station and more was all soooo good. They were still good the next day after being slightly hungover. Mahalo to Mark and his team! I recommend their catering to anyone.

Sadly missed out on trying this the last time I was visiting Hawaii but glad we made it out this…read moretrip. Excellent food. We did the 3 meat combo: Garlic Chicken, Short Rib, and Panko Fish w/ adobo fried rice + sesame corn on the side. I typically would order a mac salad and garlic shrimp but wanted to switch it up randomly for this occasion. Also grabbed two of the Hawaiian Sun drinks for $3.50 per drink which was expensive, but convenient, as we were driving out to catch the sunset and star gazing immediately after picking up our food. If I were to reorder, I'd do the same 3 piece combo, highlighting that the panko fish was surprisingly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside so this was a great option. I'd probably go with mac salad and give the kimchi fried rice a try. A friend did let us try the purple sweet potato salad side. This was a nice change of pace similar to the traditional mac salad.

Plus prices are also set at a fair setting. The vibe inside is cozy but definitely on the smaller side with limited seating, so it tends to get pretty crowded, and you might experience a bit of a wait. While the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, the food itself left a little to be desired. I ordered the Animal Burger expecting something a bit more flavorful, but it ended up tasting pretty ordinary. Some might disagree and absolutely love it, and while it wasn't anything too special for me, it's still a solid, friendly spot. I'd still recommend it if you need a quick, convenient stop for a casual meal!

Hands down, the quesabirria tacos and flautas are as good as they come--absolutely amazing. We happened upon this place on Yelp, and I was a little skeptical, but after the first bite, I felt transported back to Mexico. My entire family agreed that these are the best quesabirria tacos we have had outside of Mexico, and possibly even in Mexico. The flavors were amazing, and the consommé was absolutely delicious. We are regulars on the Big Island and normally do not eat Mexican food because we have never found a good spot, with the exception of Shaka Tacos. This place was really busy, and there was only one person working. She was doing it all--taking orders, collecting money, and making all the delicious food. She was never rude and was so pleasant. She said the cooks had called in and she was the only one there. Talk about dedication! She made sure everyone got their food, and it was made perfectly. I cannot commend her enough for all the work she did and for putting out an outstanding order of food. She is a real gem and should be treated as such! It is so hard to find good employees today, and her dedication and attitude inspired me. I wish we had gotten her name, but she said she is always there. If the food takes longer than you like, just be patient, because you are in for a treat when it comes out. Good food takes time, and the food is definitely worth the wait. We will definitely be coming back every time we are here. This place is a real gem. If I could give it more stars, I would. I hope everyone reading this takes my advice and goes to this wonderful place for the delicious food and the warm people.
