    So glad we stopped here! The burritos were incredible--big, hearty, and super satisfying. Fair warning: show up early because they sell out fast. My kiddo had the pancake sandwich and wow... portions are generous and worth every penny. Don't make the mistake of driving by--this food truck is a must-stop.

    And those pancakes are massive!

    We had a great breakfast at this food wagon today. They've been serving up hearty and delicious breakfast and brunch items for six years at the current location. My wife ordered the Pancake Sandwich and it was big enough for two. With bacon, sausage and two eggs between two pancakes, this is a feast. I went in a different direction and tried the BLT with lots of smoky bacon and ripe tomatoes. Loved the house made chips. They have picnic tables with a cover to block out the sun. Probably the best thing was how friendly and proud the owners are of their business. Check them out!

    DELICIOUS! Came to the urgent care and saw the food truck and decided to try it. Worth the wait, though it seems like there's a lot of people ordering and waiting they are pretty quick. I'm visiting from California so I'll come back when I visit Kauai again!

    The Local Sandwich
    Kacie D.

    Worth a try! What we got: Shared The Local sandwich as a pre-beach snack. If you're familiar with good salsa - fragrant, flavorful with a proper kick; you'll appreciate their salsa verde. Eggs were a bit boring, but the sandwich overall was worth getting again. Atmosphere: This truck is located at the end of the street behind the fire station. It gives brickyard vibes, though Saenz is the only truck here. There is a small covered dining area with plenty of parking spots. Service: Solid. Nothing out of the ordinary.

    Absolutley, the best breakfast I had in Kauai - and there are some really good breakfast places! I am not a huge food truck fan, I want to sit down instead of trying to hold a plate in one hand, eat with the other while trying to find a place to set my drink down. This truck or actually wagon, had a parking lot and a row of picnic tables to sit. I was good with that. There were a few people ahead of us, it was clear that the person working the window was busy. She was pleasant and apologized for the slight wait. We ordered and sat down. Within a few minutes, I heard my name called. Although the breakfast was a bit pricey, all of Hawaii is pricey, I thought the portions were generous. I loved what looked like hasselback potatoes but fried. I didn't get a slice of ham on the english muffins, I got a ham steak, the eggs were perfectly cooked and everything smothered in hollandaise sauce. I wasn't the only one impressed, everyone around the table seemed to be talking about what they ordered and how much they liked it. Later in the day, my partner made it clear where we should be going the following morning!

    Love stopping in for some flavorful breakfast. Family owned and operated, it's a true mom and pop shop. Check out their instagram to stay in the know if they are open or not. Service is quick for how many cooks are in the kitchen. Aka just one. Most items are available in sandwich, burrito or omelette form. Tou get a side of sauce, garlic aioli or salsa verde. I recommend adding a side to get the best of both worlds. They also have a savory variety of French toast and pancakes. They over hot or iced coffee, with Mac or coconut nut milk. That's it. And it's good. Go visit them. Try it all!

    Pro tip. They can sell out before closure so would recommend coming earlier rather then later. Ambiance is very Kauai iykyk (which i loved) service 10 Food was harty and delicious, well made. Large portions. You will have left overs or would recommend splitting. I really wanted to try their burritos but unfortunately they were sold out by 11am. Fried Spam sando 9/10 lost of everything, would split with someone lol Pancake sandwich 8/10 the pancakes are very dense Definitely would recommend and would love to return.

    French Toast
    Jenna V.

    This is a nice hidden gem. The service was very welcoming and quick. There was a few bigger groups ahead of us that ordered but it wasn't as long of a wait as anticipated. The food was pretty good. The french toast was okay but the pulled pork eggs Benedict was phenomenal! We also tried the Juan Burrito and it was pretty good as well. Since there are minimal breakfast places nearby, we will definitely be back!

    Juan breakfast sandwich and the local breakfast burrito

    Hot, delicious & flavorful food! Prepared us for an amazing day ahead. The staff were kind and we loved the vibes eating with the chickens. The salsa is super good & spicy! Loved it.

    A beautiful food truck set-up
    Caroline J.

    Come here for good vibes, friendly service, and excellent food! Super happy that this was a stop on our vacation. Everything was delicious! We had the following: Pancake sticks-so good or as they say ono in Hawaii! Beef and Pork tacos! Both were delicious for lunch and the chips that came with them are freshly made and just good! The garlic sauce is also great! Can't go wrong here! The Benedict's looked good too! There is a parking lot and a few picnic tables with a pop-up tent over it.

    Noelle Omelet and Juan Burrito
    Vanessa L.

    This was a last minute find for breakfast on our way to the Kalalau Trail and this did not disappoint at all! Definitely a great find! It is a food with a urgent care building across the way from the truck, but there was plenty of parking availabile. I ordered the Juan Burrito. I was only able to eat half of the burrito. My husband ordered the Noelle omelet. The omelet filled half the bottom of the take-out container and he was only able to eat half of it. Definitely one to have for breakfast and to save later for lunch. For both, eggs are fluffy. It was busy at around 11 am. They have two picnic tables available underneath a tent and they were taken. Other people who ordered and couldn't take a table ended up eating in their car. We just decided to eat it at a nearby beach to enjoy a beach view with our food. Overall, we definitely recommend!

    This place is truly the most amazing food on Kauai! Located in Princeville its a Husband and Wife ran food truck. The food is all amazing i stayed 7 days and went every single morning they were opened! Must try ! Shoutout to Chef Juan he is truly Talented!

    Pancakes,  breakfast veggie omelette sandwich with salsa verde on the right, Juan with garlic aioli on the left.
    Randy I.

    Nice little food wagon in Princeville. We stayed at the Wyndham Bali Hai and this place was only 5 minutes away. For breakfast we tried the pancakes, Juan, and veggie omelette sandwich. All were delicious but my personal favorite was the Juan - an egg omelette with chorizo, cilantro, and a garlic aioli sauce. Good stuff! The place had lots of parking and a few picnic tables under a tent for shade if you decide to eat there. We opted to take our food back to our suite. A little pricey, but it seems like everything in Kauai is pricey. This is worth a stop if you're in the area and are looking for a place to eat at.

    Are you open today? We have attempted to visit 2 times now once earlier this week at 8:30 and today at 8:15

    Can you call ahead for take out?

    Sorry we do not It’s only two of us that operate and we see tons of walk ups. Maybe one day just not currently sorry.

    Are there any Gluten Free options? CELIAC! Or can things be modified?

    There were things like omelettes and scrambles that didn't have any products that had gluten but I would ask to be sure in case there's something in a sauce potentially. Modifications were case by case. I had tried to add avocado to something else… 

    Are you open tomorrow Monday 4/24/23?

    It’s looks like yes sorry things have been crazy for us only me and my wife run it but thanks for checking.… 

    What are you hours currently? I've read conflicted days/times. Hoping to come tomorrow, Saturday.

    This week was Tuesday- Friday and next week we start Monday- Friday 8:30a-12. I run a soccer club out here 8 months out of the year so my weekends are always booked with soccer. Hope to see you soon

    My first breakfast in Kaua'i!…read more I came here for brunch with my group of 3 where we split three dishes from the menu. Service was accommodating and attentive while we navigated the menu; they offered recommendation as well which we really appreciated it. To drink, I ordered the cold brew with mac milk. It was refreshing! Not too creamy if that's not your style. Also not too sweet - which I really liked. Friend ordered the banana bread which was good but not stand-out. To eat, we split a garlic shrimp plate, breakfast burrito, and churro French toast. The garlic shrimp was my pick and it was seasoned well. Some parts of the shrimp were a little too mushy but overall good. The best thing on that plate was the mac salad! The breakfast burrito was good but even better with the salsa provided. The star was truly the churro French toast - which is less of a French toast and more like a fried donut? Nonetheless, the sauce/cream it came with was divine and paired amazing with the cinnamon-y crispiness of the bread. A cute little spot in Hanalei worth trying if you find yourself along the north shore for brunch.

    Delicious spot to grab breakfast! This spot gets pretty busy and seating is limited…read more My husband and I got the full order of the churro french toast and the garlic shrimp with rice and mac salad. Garlic shrimps were nicely seasoned and tasty. Churro french toast was so good! Portions are very generous and we were so full at the end of our meal.

    Wow! So sad we waited so long to try this place during our stay in Hanalei…read more Let's just rate it already. 10/10. Absolutely amazing. Good was some of the best I've ever had. The Churro French Toast is life changing. Full order can easily feed 3-4 people. Crispy, sweet, yet soft and tasty inside. Best description is a combination of a churro, mixed with a cinnamon roll, mixed with a donut. Would highly recommend. They offer a half portion too which is great for 2 people to share. The breakfast burritos are legit. Massive, tasty, delicious, and filling. About the same size and width as a 32oz Yeti bottle. Ordered the veggie burrito with bacon and the Smoked Pork burrito. Loved both. Tots, veggies, cheese, meat, all loaded. Even the salsas were 10/10. Seating is limited, maybe enough for 8-10 people total to sit inside, but they take to go orders and you can walk 5 minutes to Hanalei beach and eat by the ocean. TLDR - Try it, you won't be disappointed.

The shrimp was cooked to perfection: juicy, tender, and coated in the most delicious garlic sauce. Every bite was so flavorful! The Churros French Toast was actually one of the reasons we came here because it's so popular, and it absolutely did not disappoint! It looks like it would be super sweet, but surprisingly, it's not. It's perfectly crunchy on the outside, moist in the middle, and just the right amount of sweetness. So delicious! And to top it all off, you get to enjoy this fantastic food with a beautiful Kauai view. Overall, such a wonderful experience.

My mother in law, the one that rented the house, also still talks about how they came in, cooked, cleaned up and left and you never would have known someone was working in the kitchen. We had appetizers, salads, finger foods, small main dishes and a cupcake tower all by Chef Eric. Chef Eric and Carla are locals and community helpers. There was plenty of food left over from our reception and instead of throwing it away, they donated the food to a local charity which I was very touched by.

    Indulge Your Taste Buds at the Newly Reimagined Hanalei Gourmet!…read more Tonight, we decided to check out the newly reopened Hanalei Gourmet, and what a fantastic experience! Under brand-new management as of just two weeks ago, this location has taken a completely fresh approach. Don't be misled by older Yelp reviews attached to the previous incarnation; the new team has introduced an open, airy atmosphere and a elevated menu centered around fresh, high-quality ingredients. A quick heads-up for prospective diners: they are still in the process of finalizing their liquor license. However, they make BYOB seamless! You can easily grab a bottle across the street at the market or down the road at the liquor store , and the staff will gladly set you up at the table for a very reasonable $5-per-person corkage fee. We picked up a bottle of Joel Gott Chardonnay nearby, which paired beautifully with our meal. As for the food, the presentation and taste were outstanding: Catch of the Day (Marlin): Macadamia-crusted to perfection and served with a subtle, light curry sauce, accompanied by fresh vegetables and rice. Perfectly cooked and full of tropical flavor. Chicken & Vegetable Soup: A rich, comforting bowl packed with fresh veggies, served alongside a warm, crusty roll. The new management has truly transformed this space into a bright, welcoming spot. Five stars all around--we will definitely be returning! the liquor store across the street. Our waiter, Josh, was amazing. We talked through the menu before we ordered and he told us about every dish that was on the menu not only did he provide a great review of the dishes before we ordered, but he actually inspired us to try the catch of the day as he had seen the fish brought in that morning from the ocean. He was a very good server, constantly checking on us making sure that our water glasses were full and that we were having a good dining experience.

WOW. They're so good you might forget you wanted alcohol in the first place. And a huge shout-out to Chloe, the OG bartender. She gets it done and always with a smile. Really makes for a 5-star experience So happy to see this Hanalei institution open again. Great food, fresh vibe, great people. We'll definitely be back!
