Visited on 1/11/26. This was, without a doubt, the best food truck experience of our Hawaii trip. If not for the atmosphere, it would receive 5 stars.
The quality far exceeded our expectations. It was so good that we immediately went back for a second helping, knowing we wouldn’t likely pass by again. We ordered the special Spicy Shoya Poke with Ahi and another fish (I believe it was Marlin), along with another spicy tuna bowl from the standard menu, maybe the Quinoa. Both fantastic!!
This spot is an absolute must-visit. The quality was several times better than what we found at the food truck area across from Sharks Cove beach, and frankly, one of the better casual meals we had in Hawaii.

My husband and I were really happy we got a chance to check out Pupukea Grill. We first tried to go on Tuesday, but the food truck wasn’t there and they weren’t open. 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.

Authentic surf atmosphere. Blue food track, photos and pictures about high star surfers on the walls. Super organic, healthy and delicious food on street stile portion. I love local bowl, sashimi bowl, delicious smoothies and acacia cup. Wonderful food stop before take a surf and snorkeling. 100% recommend. Don’t forget about tips

Better come hungry. This is the stand alone blue food truck across from Sharks Cove. The bowl with purple sweet potato, kalua pork, over rice with ahi poke and small pieces cooked salmon was sooooo good. Sounds weird, but truly wonderful. Also loved the wrap with pesto chicken and loads of fresh veg (wrap itself is more like a yummy pita-style served like a taco.) lots of healthy options.
Returned for this
incredible açaí bowl after a sun-filled day at Waimea. Yum!

One of the several food trucks/shacks across from Pupukea Beach. Our food was very good at a reasonable price. The surf n turf (beef and shrimps) was pretty good, though the beef strips could’ve been a bit more tender. The roasters that roams around could get a bit aggressive. Sitting outside in the shade to enjoy some local dishes was more than enjoyable.

So so good. The food is healthy and taste incredible. They’re wraps are packed with food! The smoothies are pricey but so frikin good. They also use fresh fruit. The chicken is very juicy, flavored and easy to chew. All around a good eat. Feel good food.

The dude taking orders treated us like we were unconvincing him. Almost walked away. But figured we’d try the food and leave an honest review instead.
The $18 acai bowl had nearly rock solid, frozen acai. I ended up having to take it with me to wait for it to soften up. The peanut butter on top was less than a spoonful! Plenty of other places around with better acai for much less!

The best place to eat at the North Shore. Extremely recommended the Spicy Tuna Poke, OMG is the best poke bowl in the world. Everything is good in Pupukea Grill. Fast service. They use fresh and high quality ingredients. Mahalo Nui Loa from Mariel, Noel and Aby. Hugs from Puerto Rico see you soon

Went over here after our late morning snorkel and caught lunch just in time. We shared the Triple Threat and it was so worth it! The best of all the worlds, land and sea! Plenty of seating, quick service, fresh and tasty food. Grabbed a banana loaf on the way out and super moist, dense and sweet!
