Hawaii had lunch wagons long before today’s Mainland food truck craze, nevertheless, even with all of the activity and tourism, there are only a few of places where you can find food trucks. My brother gave us the heads up on checking out the food trucks and we couldn’t be more grateful. Resort food is overpriced and usually mediocre at best, so ditch it and hit these food trucks next time you are on the valley isle.

Three’s Food Truck

Chefs Cody Christopher, Travis Morrin and Jaron Blosser took their restaurant, Three’s Bar & Grill on the road with their Three’s Food Truck so you can enjoy the amazing food on the go. Menu items range from $5 to $12.

What should you order? How about these Hurricane Fries?

Jawz Fish Tacos

Big Beach BBQ

Just before the parking entrance to Big Beach, you will find Big Beach BBQ, where Jerry and his family serve Fresh Fish Tacos, Smoked Kalua Pork Sliders, Ice Cold Pineapple, Lilikoi (aka: Passion Fruit) Lemonade and more. The vibe is great here and so is every bite. Everything served is from locally grown produce and family recipes. Don’t forget to say hi to Bully, their friendly pup hanging out in the shade. Menu items range from $3 to $10.
