Hey and welcome to our channel this week we are going to be sharing some of our
all-time favorite food trucks and cheap restaurants from
our trip to Kauai. You definitely don't want to miss them!
For those of you who don't know us, I'm David, I'm Cayleigh, and we run our travel
and adventure blog called Made to Travel. We're passionate about activities that
get you outside and off the beaten path and as it turns out we're pretty
passionate about good food and especially cheap food options too yeah
Don't forget to subscribe and hit that bell to be notified when we post a new
video every week. Alright so topping our list of food
trucks in kauai is Kikuchi's we think that we're saying
that right we messed up so many other names it's ridiculous anyways
um japanese style steam buns is what they are known for and oh my gosh we've never
had a steam bun before but the one that we had was filled with
pulled pork and some marinated veggies and it was
melts in your mouth to die for yeah so make sure that you go and
try the pulled pork steam bun i don't really know how to i'm just
gonna go for it it might not be pretty
Next up on our list number two spot is called
Anatta's Thai street food and it was delicious
it was actually some of the best Thai food that we've ever had and we've been
to Thailand yeah yeah and we are obsessed with pad
Thai so when we saw this place had to hit it
up and it turned out to be one of the best ones we went to the pad
thai was uh delicious
that's really good that's some of the best curry I`ve ever had
for sure. Number three on our list is called Da Fazenda
it is a Brazilian food truck and i ordered
hawaiian uh barbecue chicken and it comes with a huge salad and garlic rice
so i'm gonna dig in. All the food was super fresh it was traditional recipes
and they had this homemade like hot sauce remember
that hot sauce oh yeah that was so good i put it all
over my dish yeah i didn't even get a dish here which was
a big mistake because after trying Cayleighs it was
yeah i missed out big time i'm pretty sure we went up three times to get hot
sauce actually we did thank you Da Fazenda for the hot sauce
just sauce it up
that was such a big bite it's so good
So number four on your list is a Mexican restaurant so we just got two Al
pastor's tacos here on Kauai, they got fresh fish in today
i got a fish burrito Cayleigh got a chicken burrito
got some nachos we went surfing this morning so we're starving
and we're ready to jump into this
Number five on our list is Scorpiciatta`s Neapolitan pizza
and you guys they have dairy free pizza dairy pizza for Cayleigh
this food truck was fantastic it's in Kapa'a
and all the rest of the pizza was so fantastic too
i think this was the first place that we went to second yeah and we were
yeah we were kind of blown away yeah right after we kind of got off the
airplane and it was
not too bad at all. Okay number six on our list
um i wish that there could be six number one spots but i'm
very personally passionate about um holey grail donuts
they are vegan taro donuts they're so beautiful
they're like decorated so fancy so beautifully
and they were so good it's our last day here in kauai and we stopped
at holy grail for breakfast doughnuts so good um go in the morning and get
some for breakfast you will not be disappointed
good start to the day yes Hanalei bay had some of our favorite restaurants while
we're in kauai and hanalei pokey is one of those places
they had a variety of different types of dishes
veggie tofu fish and they're healthy and they're
delicious and they're big we've been on a three-day hike so fresh food is
really exciting and it looks really good we also stopped over
at the aloha juice bar which is right next door and
their smoothies are to die for in the same parking lot as the hanalei poke is
aloha juice bar and they had everything from smoothies juices um
acai bowl it's a great place to just stop in and get a smoothie or
breakfast what smoothie did we get it was so good it was
peanut butter nutella banana yeah and almond milk and it was out of
this world it's like a dessert smoothie we
specialize in those yeah thats our kind of smoothie
so shaved ice and hawaii is a big thing shaved ice
big thing in hawaii we just hit up jojo shaved ice in kauai and
supposed to be one of the better rated places but i got the root beer float
here it looks pretty delicious
it's so big you could just get the small size
oh that's really good though really really good it's kind of like a slurpee
a little bit okay so that sums up the food trucks
and um in oahu we just ate at food trucks yeah but
in kauai there was some really really good um kind of cheap eat
restaurants that were similar in price to the food trucks yeah and we didn't
feel like we could leave them out so here is a list of five of our
favorite cheap eat restaurants that you should
definitely not miss in kauai. i get so excited just thinking about
hanalei bay pizzeria because you guys the pizza
like their dairy-free cheese was probably the best dairy-free cheese i've
ever had it was possibly better than real cheese
which is it's hard to do yeah it's hard to do
we are at hanalei bay pizzeria for the second time this is the only
uh restaurant or food truck that we've hit up two times! It is my
favorite uh place that we've eaten in all of hawaii they have
the best dairy free pizza so we're just waiting for our pizza they're busy
tonight and can't wait i probably could eat
there every day. David was like no we should
branch out i was like do you want to go back to the pizzeria
just do yourself a favor, eat there.
so when i think about kauai first thing that comes to mind
the incredible hiking second thing nom burgers
so good it was my favorite restaurant here in kauai i couldn't
believe it like when we saw this place for the first
time we kind of drove by and we're like oh we gotta go to this
place it's really good really highly recommended and we drove
past it again and jumped in there and it is phenomenal and it's so busy
it was packed we were in there yeah i think they're open from they're open for
breakfast and lunch so it's kind of like um southern
comfort food yeah kind of with the twists huge
burgers everything's cooked in-house they have a
variety of selections yeah and the drinks too they had like a
crazy menu of alcoholic drinks of milkshakes
um and the owner actually was our bartender
and she was amazingly sweet yeah so if you're in
kauai make sure to stop at nom burger because
you're never gonna regret it yeah you won't be disappointed
so if you go down to um the south shore of kauai which you should it's
really beautiful um there's not as many food trucks that
are open regularly some of them have kind of
weird hours barely any yeah we had a hard time finding things
for dinner um so we went to japanese grandma cafe and
i'm so glad that it just happened to be like one of the only places open
it's small too it's it's easy to miss it's a great
uh little restaurant here in hanapepe in the southern part of kauai
and they had like tempura they had all this different uh sushi
it is definitely worth stopping by they have excellent japanese food
and the staff is really sweet too it's a family a family-owned place
good experience yeah yeah so another one out of Hanalei bay
yeah all we did was eat there we did nothing else
plant a lot of time in hHanalei Bay to eat and surf
you can surf and eat eat and surf yeah and soak up some sun before
hitting the kalalau tray out yeah but this one is called pinks and it has
an amazing pulled pork grilled cheese which sounds
absolutely delicious pulled pork pineapple
just wanted to say me and Cayleigh stopped there yesterday and we got ice cream
which is what they're also famous for and it's delicious they
offer milkshakes they have dairy free options which is also really nice
you have to stop in on a hot day nothing better than some ice cream like how it
comes with chips i'm glad i have some hot sauce gotta
have hot sauce with grilled cheese
that's so good. earlier we talked a little bit about acai bowls in
hawaii um they are phenomenal just get yourself somewhere and get an acai
bowl one of our favorite places was i'm gonna butcher this and i'm sorry
it's anakes um it's a juice bar
it's the best i can do um and it's actually inside
a supermarket it looks a little bit yeah it's weird you wouldn't expect
it when you go in there yeah but it's actually really cool it's a cool little
place and um they have smoothies and juices
and acai bowls and they are all fantastic yeah
perfect meal before a day of surfing or hiking yeah
