I tried calling, but no answer. Luckily, we were nearby and found another good local spot, but we had our mind set on this place. We were leaving on Thursday, so I called ahead to make sure they were open before heading back. Good thing--they were open, and we were able to try some amazing food. It wasn't too busy, but they were already sold out of a few things by noon. We ordered the BBQ chicken quesadillas and a Brazilian lemonade. While waiting for our food, we sat in the covered seating area. It rained off and on, but it eventually stopped, and we stayed dry. Our food took about 15 minutes to be ready, and when it came out, it was super fresh and hot. We enjoyed every bite. It came with black beans and rice, and the Brazilian lemonade was light and super refreshing. Everything was delicious. We would definitely come back again! If you're around, you should check them out.

I ordered the shrimp scampi and this was also the first time in my life I had ever peeled shrimp. There is apparently a science to it. First, you lick off all that butter and garlic from the shell. Then you peel the shrimp. Much better system. The shrimp were garlicky, buttery, messy, and completely worth the effort. I ate all 12. It came with two scoops of rice, which was more than I needed, so one scoop went to the chickens, zebra doves and magpies hanging around the tables. They were very happy with that arrangement. Feed them on the side not in the shed, otherwise... I also signed the truck wall, because once you are there, you kind of have to. Not fancy, not polished, also Not Cheap but still a very fun North Shore food stop. And I would eat those 12 shrimp again

The food came back very fast like less than a 5 minute wait. I got an ahi fish taco and a shrimp taco with pineapple salsa on the side and hot sauce. My favorite thing I got was probably the hot sauce or the salsa. The hot sauce is HOT so be advised but if you like hot sauce I definitely recommend. I feel like the shrimp tacos were overcooked and I didn't particularly like the ahi either. There was also a ton of lettuce on the tacos as well. My friend got the beef quesadillas and stated that it was really oily. There was a lot of outside seating in front of the truck and you can see right into the sharks cove beach. They play music and it's pretty quiet and calm. The tables are also covered with umbrellas which is nice. Conclusively, it was really just ahhhh

Beautiful day here in hawaii. Came to the north shore craving some garlic shrimp. I was too hungry…read moreand stopped at this food truck right next to the foodlands with my friend. Unfortunately I should have had more patience. First off my friend tried to ask for the garlic butter ahi plate and the cashier said the ahi would take 30 minutes, but then the person in the kitchen corrected them and said it would actually take only 15 minutes because it would be fresh. So he tried to go down the line and pick something else from the specials but they were all ahi. And unfortunately he's allergic to shrimp so he couldn't choose the shrimp plates but honestly it's probably for the better. The garlic shrimp was mid. And even worst the rice was soggy almost as if I made it (and I don't make good rice). Also the salad was discolored and lacked freshness. The shrimps were also tiny af. Luckily, for my friend, however his plate ended up only taking about 10 minutes, which is good. But he wasn't too pleased with his meal either. Both our rices tasted almost spoiled in a way, my friend said it felt and tasted like it wasn't fresh as if it was made yesterday. And I was needing a napkin, my friend went to get me one, and came back saying how they emphasize to just "take one" napkin. Which I can understand to a certain point, but he got the impression she really didn't want him to take more than just one. Which is pretty silly cause when you're eating garlic shrimp it gets really messy. The only good thing about this place is that it has a beautiful view of the water and they were playing the Beatles and we're in Hawaii. But if I were you, I'd totally pass this tourist trap, and head elsewhere. This place claims to have the best fish plates but they lack TLC and quality food. Honestly probably the worst meal I've had of the year. I was ready to finish my meal. My friend and I both agreed this place lacked a bit of aloha.
