Last August, when I was 8 months pregnant and had just moved back to O'ahu from the Big Island, I…read morewas scrolling Instagram and came across a local plate lunch truck called The Pupu Princess. I hit follow right away -- and when I saw they were nearby, I waddled my very pregnant self over to grab a plate. I ordered their Combo Plate: two scoops rice sprinkled with furikake, crab potato salad, fried noodles, and two proteins. I chose garlic fried chicken and teri beef. It was so good I actually cried a little. Living on the Big Island, everything was so far, and I couldn't satisfy my cravings easily -- so finally having a real plate lunch felt like comfort and home all at once. I hadn't been back since, mostly because they don't have a set schedule, and whenever they were close by, Bubba would be napping or I'd find out too late. But today, I finally got to go again -- and this time I brought Bubba. And she remembered me. "Weren't you pregnant last time?" she said. Such a small thing, but honestly an amazing memory and such a warm customer experience. Bubba and I had a little sidewalk picnic together. He tried fried noodles for the first time, loved the teri beef, and of course devoured the rice -- his forever favorite. I saved half the plate for my boyfriend since he's working. It felt like such a full-circle moment... sharing with my son the exact plate lunch that made me cry (in the best way) when I was pregnant with him.

I was looking for this food truck all last week at the park in ewa Beach called Geiger community…read morepark. Well today we found it its a small pink trailer house type truck. Got there this time after 11:00 am. I think it was about 11:20. I was 3rd in line ordering. I ordered the after school special plate includes 5 rolls taegu Kim chee sushi rolls and 4 pieces boneless fried chicken. The rolls were tasty and the fried chicken was crispy skin and a lightly salted. Told the girl inside the truck we looked for you guys last week thursday and you guys wasn't there. She started to laugh explaining why they weren't there but I cut her off and said that day we came back 3 times couldn't find them we went home. LOL. Took a picture of their menu. If you in the area, stop by. Support them. They make everything fresh it's about a 20 min wait. P.S. They only open Tuesday through Friday 11-3pm.

Mmm...even worse than the first experience. Despite them posting on their social media that they wouldn't run out because they ordered double (I guess of their ingredients), they were sold out after 3 hours. They could have updated their social to state that they were sold out to save time or even at least put a sign up on their menu board that they were sold out. Waste time standing in line just to be told they don't have any buckets. Not giving a 3rd try.

Located in Geiger Park along Kapolei Pkwy, open Monday thru Friday 10am to 3pm. It's a CASH ONLY…read morebusiness so don't forget your dollar bills. Hubby was able to stop by there to grab us late lunch/early dinner before he was closed for the day. The wait was a bit long because it's a one-man show. But the wait was pretty worth it. We ordered crispy crinkle fries and 2 OG smash burgers, one with "The Works" for an additional charge. The burgers were smothered in a tasty special sauce. Finger-licking good!

I was FINALLY able to try Adrian's Smash Burger... because I had cash…read more Yes, this is a cash-only food truck. For months my boyfriend had been wanting to try these smash burgers, but he works during the day--and I honestly didn't think they'd survive the wait until he got home. Thankfully, we finally got to try them together, and it was so worth it. This is a true one-man operation, so it does take a bit of time to place your order--but trust me, the wait pays off. My boyfriend got the OG Smash Burger and immediately regretted not adding an extra patty... or ordering a second burger altogether. I went with the Pineapple Express, and as my very first smash burger experience? I was obsessed. Pro tip: get your own fries. You will not want to share. You will side-eye the other person. And yes, it could absolutely start a fight over who ate more. Adrian's Smash Burger is open Monday-Friday, 10 AM-3 PM. For weekend hours, check their Instagram. Support local--and don't forget to bring cash.

Mexican food on wheels! Although this place does catering, they also have a food truck!…read more Last night I noticed a truck up the street from where I live. I then noticed it was back again this morning! I looked up the name on Instagram and found out they were serving up Mexican food! My hubby loves Mexican so we had to try it out. First off, the customer service was amazing! They talked story with us, asked tons of questions about what we wanted in each order since everything is made to order. Here's what we got: 1. Beef Nachos: we ordered the small portion but this was HUGE! It has cheese, choice of beef or chicken, onions, cilantro, & sour cream. My hubby loves nacho cheese so he loved this! There was a generous portion of beef on top too. 2. Cheese Quesadilla: this was actually a kids quesadilla but it was definitely a regular sized one! It was simple with just cheese & tortilla but, they did not skimp on the cheese. It was THICK! 3. Chicken Burrito: this was definitely the star of the show! It was HUGE! Hubby and I shared it and couldn't finish it. It was stuffed with pico, flavorful chicken, cheese, sour cream, beans & rice. It was messy but sooo good! Highly recommend! Overall, it's dangerous how often and close they are to where we live! We'll definitely be back!

HOH TALK ABOUT MAYJAHHHHH!…read more First time here but was told these Braddahs come to Ho'opili every Thursday. I was kind of skeptical from ordering, since most restaurants In Hawaii that serve Mexican food, kind of give less than what it's truly worth. So I asked the local braddah "is it a lot?" And he assured me that if I'm not satisfied he would fully refund me. So I waited..... when I was called he showed me my order- carne Asada fries, and let me tell you... it can feed more than a family of 4. I never got his name but my bro, for serving great customer service along w great food.

This truck is run by two sweet Korean ladies. I was very impressed with my meat jun plate as it was a lot of food for $20. Additionally, it was so fresh. I watched them make it from scratch right in front of me! I really love that this truck serves up fresh made-to-order Korean food and it's not just sitting... you can really taste the freshness. It was one of the best meat Jun plates I've had on Oahu... if not the best! They have several wooden picnic tables that are all shaded as well. It's surprisingly cool under there and a great place to take a shopping break and refuel. I'd come back just to eat, never mind shop!

This truck should be more popular by far! Great prices and the ladies are always so nice…read more I love that the spicy squid you have the option of rice or noodles. I chose noodles and it is the perfect chewy noodle I wanted with my squid. There is some outdoor seating available on both sides of the truck. There is parking right in front of the truck too so it is perfect to stop by on the way home or while shopping.

Broke da mouth, and the bank, and the diet. yes you will way cash for these plates but like me, I go back for more.

Call me crazy but it's like my get away from eating healthy...CAUTION plates have plenty, and makes work very hard after throwing these plates down. I HAVE NOT disliked any plate yet.

Alonzos is an experience......fast food is what McDonalds and Burger King about.
