Crispy Grindz - Ala Moana

Tried out the pastel from their food truck at the cinco de mayo festival in Kakaako (coz all the taco trucks had huge lines...) glad I tried this place out coz their pastel with cheese and beef was delicious!!! How the cheese kinda melted with the pastry and deep fried together - hmmm...I was hoping to try the coxinha. Maybe next time. The wait wasn't too long as well. The pastel came out fresh, hot and crispy with gooey cheese and well flavored beef inside. I would order from them if I saw their truck again.

Kewalo Basin Harbor Corner...Not official but I must give it a name as it seems this is the somewhat permanent fixture of the outdoorsy vibe with famous Kaka'ako Farmers Market every Saturday and now is the home to many food trucks.Crispy Grindz is not a newbie but is to the area on this part of the island and gosh what a welcome new flavors it brings. All things from Brazil including the familiar Açaí bowl and cheese bread by Nosh and something new to me "Pastels" dough stuffed with either savory or sweet fillings then fried in peanut oil nice and crispy I got the chicken special and this yummy goodness is stuffed with shredded chicken, spinach, cheese, tomatoes which is wrapped and fried golden all made fresh and isn't as heavy as what I thought I'd be...flavorful and just a nice perfect size for a snack.The ladies there are a delight and know this will be another convenient place to grab an açaí bowl as well as it's still blazing hot here while you can enjoy the harbor view.Thank you!

Love the Brazilian type food and snacks, they are located with plenty sitting spaces available for customers

The bread is hot and fresh! It tastes like fried mochi, cheese balls. Service is not bad and prompt. It's a food truck in the kakaako farmers market. There's seating in the pier. It was so good, we went back for 5 more lol definitely recommend!

The pastel is soooo good! It's like empanadas, but better. I totally recommend it!I had to come back to try other flavors

Best Açaí Bowls and best views of boats going in and out of the harbor! It's easy to get to. Just drive down Ward Avenue then an immediate left on Ala Moana Boulevard and then an immediate right into the parking lot where you will see 7-8 food trucks. There is ample parking and seating on an extremely large deck with umbrellas. You can watch the boats come in and out of the harbor.

All fresh and natural Açaí bowls... no added sugars. So delicious!! I added banana, strawberry, granola, and peanut butter. My daughter added blueberries, coconut, banana and peanut butter. They had so many choices of things to add. The açaí was made with açaí berries with a little fresh banana only. Best I've tasted!

The best açaí you'll ever find. I learned about this place from my Brazilian friends. I figure if the Brazilians eat it, it must be legit. That's not the only thing that's good either, the coxinha is actionnnnn, too. I drive here from Kailua because I refuse to eat açaí bowls anywhere else already........tired of icy bowls that taste more like a smoothie. Besides all that, the owner is the nicest!!

Food is amazing! We had coxinha and hearts of palm pastel, and omg, everything is fresh and tasty! Best Brazilian food in the town! We met the staff and they were super friendly and kind. Service is 100%.The environment around gives the eating experience an aloha vibes!!

Service was great! Food came out fast and tasted fresh and amazing. Definitely coming back again. Praying blessings over this business!
