so I went to this place Friday June 26,2026 Le begin by saying that it was our first time here... and the last! The service was bad, the food was worst but the experience was terrible. Our table was so dirty and I get it being outside on a dock isn't necessary the most tidy. When we ask a waitress to clean she said that they were short staffed but would come back never did. Then we ordered the food which we like I said had never been, so we waited for almost 20 minutes before we figured that it was ordered at the bar. We ordered 4 aguas frescas (watermelon flavored) we got 4 lemonades! We ordered 2 nachos with chicken and it was decent. We also ordered a chicken bowl with white rice and pineapple chunks it was not only under seasoned but no flavor at all. We also ordered 2 orders of the Al pastor chicken tacos with everything and one without any toppings, both horrible! The most nasty Red 40 up the roof taste, it tasted like nothing. We also ordered a pina colada it was like pineapple juice reduced with water and it tasted like nothing. I would never go back It was the worse $78 spent ever read more

Server tipped himself 15% without letting us know. Thieves. Food is mediocre. Seems dirty but dipping themselves was the worst.

This dish is such an exciting tropical dish! How fun when the dish itself is a whole pineapple! How down to earth is that?! I'm not usually a seafood person, but I tried the chicken and lobster, and it was absolutely amazing, so, so, so good. I also love how the pineapple pairs perfectly with the chicken. I highly recommend Pineapple Ninjaz to everyone!l this place is a must try when you're in SPI. read more

The price of the food is ridiculous, $12 for a plain ass burger with no seasoning comes with no fries and said it was an extra charge for a side of fries. We spent $80 for four items, the lady who made our drinks didn't even use gloves, they are hectic and all over the place and adding extra items I didn't order to the bill. The drinks were tasty I'll give them that but other than not using gloves is crazy. They are super slow we stood there for over 30 mins just trying to order with only two people in front of us. The pineapple shrimp bowl is pretty good and good price but for what we got we definitely could've gotten more food and drinks at a different than pineapple ninjaz. We only went because I wanted to go to the previous place that was there but wasn't aware they got bought out . Over all 0/10 for experience and service -1/10 for the ridiculously small burger with nothing even though they advertised it with lettuce and other toppings I wouldn't recommend not even to a person I dislike . If I could I'd rate it a 0. read more

Great island food!! I got the tail bowl and it was delicious! Refreshing but also savory, it certainly hit the spot! They also serve flavored/spiced tomato juice for you to mix with your BYOB! Prices are bit high but overall I think our selection was worth the price. read more

Excellent ceviche. This food truck's whole gimmick revolves around pineapples, so if you're allergic to this prickly fruit, you may want to steer clear. Pineapples help people get into that island mentality, and we saw a couple of these trucks peppered around. The one we went to was parked behind our hotel, and after having a couple of beers we stopped by here for some pre-concert grub. They don't have any to-go containers, hence me docking off a point. Your bowl is a carved out pineapple half, good luck with that. If you want your dish to go, they just wrap that sucker in foil. My cousin liked her chicken dish, and I don't remember what my sister and brother in law shared, but that was some really great ceviche, with a generous amount for $12, too. I've seen restaurants give half that amount for the same price, so I think we got a pretty good deal. The ceviche was tasty but I had to use all the lime I was given in order to get a nice tang going. Overall, though, I'd order that again. Everything tasted fresh and was made to order. read more

Orange chicken bowl was amazing! The sauce was delicious- and the zucchini was great. Would have liked more pineapple and chicken, but overall great. read more

This place was pretty good. Only reason I give 3 stars is because the rice was super super undercooked to the point I couldn't even eat it. We got the shrimp and chicken bowls. They were both great! And I loved the zucchini fries so good! Glad we decided to stop by and try this while we visited the island! read more

I tried this food truck at the Austin Asian Night Market. This is pertinent to my review because I am ASSUMING the fact the market was absolute chaos might have contributed to quality a bit. This is also why I am not holding the 2.5 hour wait against the food truck itself (yes, I wanted in line from 8:15 pm to 10:30 pm). I got the kickin' chicken bowl, which, for $10 I think is a great price point. However, the rice was very plain, it didn't even taste salted. The chicken was dry and overdone, although the orange sauce was fine, and the grilled squash they stack on top was in dreadful need of some salt and pepper. It would have been really disappointing whether I waited 5 minutes or two hours. They did tell me they prepare fresh to order, which I appreciate, and the presentation is awesome. But I would prefer a simpler presentation with much better flavors. That being said, if I come across the truck again I am curious about the drinks. They looked pretty good! read more

Two stars because it was pretty. Mostly. We ordered 3 pineapple and coconut smoothies. Thinking that a food truck with pineapple in the name would actually serve a drink that tastes like pineapple was the hope. Well, definitely put your $10 smoothie hopes into another food truck because this didn't taste like pineapple or coconut. It tasted like a barren snowcone. The only indication I got what I ordered was the pile of fruit on top of the cup (not in it) and the stringy something stuck between my teeth after I drank it (could be pineapple. Could be coconut). And it was a little yellow on bottom. A little white on top. Otherwise. I drank snowy ice. We sipped. We hoped that it just needed a stir. Nope. Disappointed. read more

The food is really great looking! The service is friendly. If you want some good photos for your beach trip its a good option. We had the lobster bowl and another mix bowl i think. The food taste ok, decent buy nothing special. Not a big portion, but maybe limited by the size of the pineapple. Overall it's just not a great value. Like $65 for the lobster bowl, and there is just not that much lobster in there. a meal with a family of 4 with just normal chicken/ shrimp bowls will probably go well over $150. Their smoothie drink is also like $12. Its just a big ding on the wallet without too much bang. I guess if you want to pose with a cool looking bowl it might be worth it. read more

For a food truck, this was very good. My husband and I stopped initially to get something cold to drink. However, the pictures on the truck enticed me to try the chicken. It was very good. I also got the pineapple limeade, which was refreshing. My husband got the kickback colada and it was delicious. What could've given this a five star rating? There were no trash cans, no seating (though neighboring food trucks had their own seating). We were not in a situation to take this to go so I had to eat standing up at one of the wooden pillars they have situated there. My understanding is that this is a somewhat stationary food truck. Adding just a little bit of seating could certainly make for a better experience. It wouldn't need to be anything elaborate. I would also recommend a nearby trashcan. read more

This is definitely a spot I had been wanting to check out as I was drawn to the idea of my food being served inside a hollowed out pineapple. Unfortunately, the spectacle of the food being in the pineapple is as good as it gets here. I got the chicken dish, which was $10. The spring was $15 and the lobster was $30. Boy am I glad I didn't spend more than $10 for this. The chicken was actually quite good with the orange sauce, but the jasmine rice was bland. They add some decorative items on top of the dish, but that's about it. I wound up eating as much of the pineapple as I could but without a knife you'll have to do this with your hands. Overall, for the money I would recommend going elsewhere, as the amount of food isn't very much and you're really just paying to have your food presented in the hollowed out half of a pineapple. read more

Tried the chicken dish at Circuit of the Americas during F1. The presentation was nice, but that's the only good thing to be said. It was $20 and the rice was raw in the first one. I walked back and they gave me a replacement. It was cold. I expect expensive at an event like this and I'm not expecting a gourmet dining experience but it should be food that you want to eat. Unfortunately I didn't want to eat it. I hope their normal location is better. read more

Employees refused to wear masks while preparing our food. Ignored me when I asked why they weren't wearing them. Endangering the public. Not cool. read more

The food is okay. I got the big baller (comes with shrimp, chicken, & lobster) which costs $40 & in my opinion it was a solid 3/10 & not at all worth $40. The amount of food is not enough for what is advertised (they say the big baller is for two people but was not) & the food itself was not tasty ; no flavor. All in all just save your money please read more

I got the chicken pineapple. It looked great - Instagram worthy - but it tasted not so good. The chicken was served in giant chunks, making it absolutely impossible to eat without cutting it up - but it was impossible to cut without utensils out in the open standing up from a food truck. It should have been served diced up in smaller bites. The sauce/taste of the chicken (what I had before tossing the thing in the trash) was ok at best. The zuchinni strings and rice were ok. Overall, it just wasn't good for me. Thumbs down. read more

My fiancé and I came here last year and the food was fresh, delicious. Current visit is not up to par. The chicken is dry and luke warm and the rice is dried out. The chicken is not chopped up which coupled with it being dry makes for a chore to eat. I dont mind paying a premium price for good food but this unfortunately was a waste of money on this visit and is going in the trash. read more

Completely over priced gross food. Undercooked all around. The rice was hard, the veggies were as well. Salt level through the roof. Ick. The shrimp were tiny and not fresh. I sent a note to their IG page and asked for a refund before I wrote this review. I opted to not get back in line to complain about the food at the time, being that most of the people waiting in line were NOT wearing masks. Days later I finally did get a response, and instead of just offering a refund, I got pushback. VERY disappointed. And am telling everyone I know to avoid eating here at all costs. Good riddance! read more

Great fresh food from a food truck. Fun location where you can take your order into Tequila Sunset to eat overlooking the Bay with live music.... or eat on picnic tables right there. They also sell fresh pineapples 2 for $3.00!! Better than HEB price! Will update when we try the tacos. read more

Pineapple Ninjas brings a different twist to South Padre Island. It beats other fast foods in the island.

The Shrimp Pineapple sounded quite exciting from the start along with zucchini fries. The pictures gleam of prideful cooking. But a Thundrous clap of dissapointment quickly rode over us when we ate it. A half cut pineapple had been fried to appear as a boat. Presentation was quite phenomenal to be honest. The boat consisted of a very dry and offputting rice at the base. It was topped with shrimp and zucchini. There was little to no seasoning or even flavor to the shrimp and zucchini. I wasn't sure whether they had cooked it or not because there was zuch little flavor profile. Zucchini fries are not fries in any sense. It was simply sauteed zuchini strips with a little pepper on top. Chunks of pineapple had been mixed in but to no avail as there was no other flavor to appreciate a blend in flavors. All for the price of 24$? That was worth 10$ at best read more

We were finally able to try this place, and it did not disappoint! We tried the orange chicken, salmon, shrimp, and ceviche bowls. All of them were fantastic. My husband said if we don't eat anywhere else on the island it would be fine by him... read more

Obsessed with this! Had to go back a few days later for a second pineapple bowl with orange chicken. The zucchini fries are phenomenal, and I'm pretty picky with that kinda stuff. The shrimp bowl was also delicious. read more

Extremely fair prices. The chicken pineapple bowl is better than the shrimp bowl but still very delicious. A bit spicy for those who are not a fan of it but insanely enjoyable. If I ever return as a tourist, I'd only eat at this truck. This is probably the best place to eat on the island without it costing an insane amount. read more
