Wow! What a find!!! My husband and I were driving on Volcano Rd. when we saw the sign for Saucy Mama's and instantly decided to check the food truck out! So glad we did! First of all let me say that I am not the easiest customer since I have many food allergies and also eat gluten free. But after asking me several questions the owner/chef suggested something off menu she could make me. It was AMAZING! Best lunch I've had while here on the Big Island. One I will be savoring for awhile! Flavors which sing. Thank you for treating this allergy-ridden customer so well! read more

Food was delicious and generously portioned. Service was welcoming with good vibes. Eating area was cute and cozy in a little garden. Highly recommend coming here! The kalua pig tacos were surprisingly good with a raspberry sauce read more

Saucy Mama's - Kalua pig tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Mountain View, Hawaii

Rachel is an Oregon transplant and is a true saucy mama to 5 kids and a burgeoning food truck business. She is super nice and chatty and clearly takes pride in creating creative food truck fare with an emphasis on innovative sauces. The fish tacos were perfectly crispy and dressed with a scrumptious POG (passionfruit orange guava) sauce. So damn good. Kailua pork tacos were drizzled in a delectable raspberry chipotle sauce. Yum. Be sure to finish your meal with the lilikot coconut shortcake. It's like a strawberry shortcake went on vacay and stayed. The menu changes daily so be sure to check it out on your way to/from Hawaii Volcano National Park. read more

A hidden gem in Mountain View, between the post office and gas station on Old Volcano Rd. It is a small food truck located next to the coffee shop. There's outdoor seating and surrounded many varieties of plants. Saucy Mama's has a rotating menu so it's always different, today we had Kaluha tacos and they were delicious. Definitely worth checking out we will be back as we live close by and there's not a lot of restaurants in Mountain View. read more

Saucy Mama's - Kaluha Tacos with a side of Awesome sauce. - Food Trucks Near Me - Mountain View, Hawaii

Visited Saucy Mama's today after Volcano National Park. Although one of us is vegetarian, and they were out of the curry tacos, the owner was super kind in offering other vegetarian options. We ended up ordering the Cordon Bleu sandwich, sriracha fries, and rice with awesome sauce. Everything tasted fantastic! The owner and her mom were extremely friendly and approachable. It is clear just how proud her mom is of all her achievements (well-deserved). Thank you! read more

Food is okay. The ambience is nice like you are dinning in a garden. The raspberry sauce in the taco didn't go too well with the meat. I hate wilted lettuce in my salad. It probably prepackaged a few days ago. read more

If you can make it by when they are open you absolutely should. The special was tempting (southern skillet) but I chose the kalua tacos with raspberry sauce. Best kalua pork tacos (or any pork taco) I've ever had. The raspberry sauce really makes it stand out. Owner was friendly and you can tell she really loves food and cooking. The adjacent garden area was a nice touch to eat locally. Highly recommend. read more

E Komo mai!! Until we meet again We felt like we'd traveled to to Chichen Itza- not Volcano- and savoured the most aromatic Mexican chowder while engulfed by the blossoming flowers a lilikoi bush. The chowder was sophisticated yet simple with its bold chili pepper profile- pure comfort food. We also ordered chickpea curry and Kaulua pork tacos. The pork was moist in the Kaulua tacos and the raspberry chipotle sauce provided a hint of sweetness. The masala tacos did not disappoint - hints of coriander, cardammon, cinnamon and peppercorns. Tortillas were fresh with a soft texture, Dining is in a magical tropical garden- managed by the resident goddess, Lisa. Rachel is a talented chef - cooks with Aloha- I can't wait to for my next visit to Saucy Mama's. read more

We found Saucy Mama's by (happy) accident when we stopped to look for the bakery in Mountain View. It was closed but the food truck down the way was open. We got the pork tacos and mac and potato salad. As the name implies, the sauces are where it's at. The raspberry chipotle sauce on the tacos was to die for and make sure to get the Awesome sauce as well. Presentation was nice. Everything was so tasty, the pork perfectly tender and the Mac and potato salad was killer. We also got the best iced chai tea I've ever had, perfectly balanced and lots of fresh spices. Everything was so good, you could tell there is a lot of love in that little kitchen. read more

The Papaya blended drink, that's the best of the best. Can't go wrong with a loaded fries! Plan a stop at saucy mama's next time you're going through Mountain View. read more

Awesome stop in Mountain View, halfway between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park! I am born and raised in the neighborhood and there has never been any food worth mentioning in this area until now. This adorable food truck and family serves delicious, home-cooked food that is all made from scratch. The menu changes weekly so I normally pop in to see what is being served or text Rachel to see what's cookin. They sometimes sell out during the lunch rush so best not to wait until the last min if you want full selection of items! But I can say that if you roll in at 4:55, they will still serve you an incredible meal, as long as they have something to serve. Get it while it's hot and don't miss it! read more

Delicious homemade lunch after volcano hike! Everything was tasty, you cannot go wrong here. And such a beautiful environment to enjoy. Thank you! read more

Cute mom and daughter run food truck. Had the fish and chips and was FIRE!! Light, Crispy, flavorful...so worth it after the long drive from Kona. read more

We visited Saucy Mama's on our way back from Volcano National Park and we are sure glad we did. Kind of tucked just off the main highway, this food truck is parked in an oasis of nature. There are tables throughout the garden and generally a cool vibe. We had the pork tacos and chai tea. Both were super yummy. The food was excellent and the conversation with Mama herself was lovely. This is such a pleasant location so if you are headed up that way, make sure that you make a stop at Saucy Mama's and hit the coffee shop just down the street if you have the time and they are open. read more

Yummm!! 5 stars for the food and service!! This is a MUST-DO if you're near the National Volcano National Park. This place has amazing pork tacos, coconut shrimp, and drinks! Try the limeade and orange dreamsicle drinks. read more

I was skeptical at the onset due to a high price point for two tacos, but Rachel's passion for cooking and outstanding customer service, which I learned was cultivated while working for Disney, convinced me to order the pork tacos with rice. I was amazed with the quality of taste: smokiness coupled with sweetness, and had no room left for dessert due to each robust taco and the rice and salsa that accompanied the dish. Lisa contributed to the positive experience by sharing her Hawaiian story and creating a wonderful garden to enjoy an intimate meal. Thank you, Rachel and Lisa, for a wonderful afternoon. I look forward to seeing you both again on our next trip and trying whatever fresh seasonal dish you have on the menu. Thos & Cinthya read more

This family owned gem is a must try. A hidden food truck tucked away in a botanical garden...vibes. You're instantly greeted by the friendliest people. It's like you can't be mad about how the long wait times are because of how nice the owners are. Super fresh! Crispy fish. But the Thai curry was amazing!! Worth the wait. You got to try it to see for yourself. read more

Best food ever! Buy one of all but if you have to decide, get the pork tacos and the loaded steak fries! If you are anywhere near, this is a MUST! read more

Really good kalua pork and the owner is very nice. Good stop for a bite. We had the tacos and were both happy.

What a gem we accidentally found. This adorable food truck that serves delicious, native, all home made food. We had their taco which had this amazing raspberry chipotle sauce which they should also sell on the side. It was delicious!!! Daughter cooks and mom tends to the beautiful garden, outdoor seating area. If only they served coffee or nice cold beer, we could spend hours there. We washed it all down with homemade lemonade. Perfect afternoon snack. read more

The food is just amazing, I honestly couldn't point out one single thing that I didn't like! Portion is huge and the flavor is just incredibly good! The staff is super welcoming and nice and the location is just great if you are visiting the volcanoes. I would definitely recommend this place. 10/10. They even have a super cute sitting area with lots of shade and fresh air. If the cooks ever get their recipes on a book, please let me know lol read more

Saucy Mama's - The fish tacos were amazing and the sauce was the best! - Food Trucks Near Me - Mountain View, Hawaii

An extraordinary food experience - the pulled pork tacos are sublime! Absolutely delicious with the addition of raspberry sauce. Also tried the luau plate - pork and chicken, with Mac salad, green salad, a Hawaiian roll, and an Aloha drink. A great deal and worth it. The pork was seasoned to perfection, and the chicken luau was one of the best things I've ever tried! The ginger drink is also fabulous and really compliments the dishes. Thank you for such great, well made food. read more

Saucy Mama's - Pork tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Mountain View, Hawaii

If you visit Hawaii Volcano National Park take the 15 minute drive to Saucy Mama's!!! Or just make a special trip to get the Kalua Pork Tacos. The pork is tender and juicy, then her raspberry chipotle sauce elevates the whole taco to another level. These tacos are better and fresher tasting than any fusion taco I have had in L.A. Order a side of her chutney sauce to pour over the sticky rice and let your taco spill into the rice as you eat for a delightful rice finale. When you order remember good food takes time. read more

It was 2:45 pm. We were exhausted and starving from hiking in the Volcanoes National Park, and found Saucy Mama's on a Google search. Wow!!!!! Thank you, Jesus for this chick and her food truck. We were greeted after exiting our car with a friendly smile and kind words. She happily explained her menu and her most popular items and what she had left for today. Quick service, fresh ingredients and some of the best food I've had in a long time. Thank you, Saucy Mama! read more

We were looking for local food that would also accommodate food sensitivities and this was just the right place! The Kailua pork tacos and the guava quinoa dish addressed those. I am fortunate enough not to worry about that and had the samosas and shortcake. The samosas were so tasty, the pastry was soft, light and fluffy and the meat was juicy with just the right seasoning. Quaffed those down so easily! The shortcake was really good too. The custard/cream melted in your mouth. Absolutely delicious. The owners were super friendly and the garden area is laid out to allow private spaces so you feel like you're in a well manicured lush garden. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely was blown away by the quality of the food! I went next door for coffee and was recommended to go to Saucy Mama's for lunch. I got the Kahlua pork tacos, the ginger soda, limeade, shrimp bisque, and the macaroni salad. The tacos were absolutely INCREDIBLE. The meat was so juicy and she gave us a huge amount, and I'm still thinking about the cranberry sauce on it. The shrimp bisque was made in the French style, and was absolutely one of the best ones I've had in my life. The drinks were also delicious, and the ginger one was inspired by the owner's travels in Africa. I cannot recommend this place enough. While you may need to wait a bit for the food, as it's made for you fresh, it is so worth the wait, and the owner is an absolute gem of a human being. I would 10000% recommend this spot. read more
