We got the chicken burrito, corn in a cup (elote), and vegetable quesadilla. The salsa served with the dishes was super fresh and delicious. The burrito was filling and the chicken was well cooked. They also had pupusas, birria, and other great options. There are a couple tables to enjoy your meals, as well as open parking. They were also selling local lilikoi and icecream bean the day we were there.

The potatoes in it were wow-factor good, boiled to perfection and seasoned independently. It was carefully assembled so not a single bite felt dry. They provide salsa, but it wasn't necessary for me on this burrito. The place has nice picnic table seating with a shade cover, and the ambiance of greenery is a big upgrade from the typical roadside food truck. Staff are pleasant and were proactive in listing out the ingredients in each dish in case there was anything you'd rather be left out. Easy to grab a coffee from the shop next door while your food is being prepared.

Its a temporary outdoor vendor with a home type gas oven that would be used at home sets up at Ama's Kitchen. The couple the day my wife and I stopped it was a young European couple cooking. The 2 pizzas cost 48 dollars before the 5 dollar tip. The dough was very salty and not quite crisp with a soft doughy interior, the sauce was out of a can in front of you and basic. The pizza was only edible due to the fact it took 50 dollars to get them. It was really bad stuff if it came from a freezer we would have thrown out. Its a wonderfull area of Hawaii but a HUGE lack of conveniences like burgers subs supermarket etc. Food in Kau is very hard to find and none of it is a value unless you count the 5 dollar hot dogs at the intersection of S point Road and the highway Costco dogs at a remote site, toppings 1 dollar each! (yes ketchup and mustard 1 dollar) Avoid the pizza do your self a favor and dont feel ripped off!

As soon as we entered the bake shop, we were astonished to find a long line. However, the line moved pretty quickly. I got the veggie avocado cheese sandwich. My husband got the fried fish plate. We also got a few Malassadas. This was like a fried doughnut. We got the mango, guava and pineapple flavors. My favorite was the pineapple one. The bread itself was super soft, and the pineapple jelly was super tasty. The mango pastry was also good, however, it was a bit dry for my liking. My veggie sandwich was packed with a variety of vegetables. The bread itself was very soft. I did have to add a bit of hot sauce, salt, and pepper because the sandwich itself did not have any flavor. My husband's dish also lacked flavor so he had to add a lot of hot sauce, salt and pepper. All in all, we had a great experience. The buns are a must try. They have plenty of outdoor spacing for seating. They also have a ton of interesting items to purchase. Given the historical relevance, this spot is a must visit.

This location is at a food truck + artisan marketplace, and the Shaka Tacoz truck is right at the entrance from the parking lot, so it's easy to find. There's open air seating beyond the truck, or benches under the trees better the food truck and the parking lot. Great place to enjoy some shade and some tacoz.

The food was tasteless and I don't appreciate when places try to get a double tip. Food options around the area are very limited, but I encourage tourists to take a chance and explore further. This place is a great convenience for people visiting Hawaii's Volcano National Parks and are starving after a long day of sightseeing. Unfortunately, I was very let down considering the great reviews it has online. This is a food truck, so as expected, the parking is extremely limited and there are only two picnic tables available if you choose to sit down and eat. The area is nice if you don't mind eating outdoors. When I went, there were only 2 people working in the truck. They were extremely nice and did warn us about waiting times. There was a long line of people so we had to wait about 25mins for our food. Honestly, this is not inherently a problem, but be ready to wait if it's busy. Now for the food and the reason I'm giving this place a low rating. I was allowed to mix the carnitas tacos and the chicken taco plate given that they're all the same price. The chicken had a nice spice to it, but every item on the dish was very bland. The rice felt dry, the refried beans felt like they were straight out of a can, and it could have all used some salt. But the big nono was that it appears they included a tip in their total before handing the machine over to you to add a tip and pay. Unless you tell me Hawaii's tax is close to 20% (which I know it's not), I find it very disrespectful when businesses do this to their customers.
