Kealoha's BBQ

I grew up eating local food so I was curious about this spot in Denver. Lots of greens, a yummy dressing and a good amount of protein. Both plates are a great deal with the amount of food you get. I will return here again! Mac salad has a nice little twist on it, I'm a fan. Side note: they do run this out of small stand so be patient if there's lot of people. it's so worth the wait and they are very kind.

Try the food you won't regret it! It's been 4 years since I've first had the food here. I still dream about it. This place is THE BEST HAWAIIAN FOOD in all of Colorado! Must visit every time I'm within 100miles of it. If you don't like it send me an invoice! If you do like it, leave a review.

The folks running this little food stand really bring the Aloha! Food was delicious and they were friendly and helpful. Takes a little time, but they had a cooler full of waters to cool down while you waited. The lilikoi salad dressing was so Ono (that means delicious)!!

I just happened to stumble upon this hidden gem near the 16th street mall. OMG I'm in love! I got the homemade lilikoi and it tasted way better than the Hawaiian can drink I normally get. Then I got a musabi and that was fresh and homemade. Was absolutely delicious. I got there too late for the real food because they sold out by 1. That's how good this place is. I'll go back soon to get the whole shabang and then I'll give you a better review. But if the drink and musabi was the bomb I could ONLY imagine what their kahlua pork and mad taste like.

This joints line was poppin! Despite the consistent foot traffic, they served an incredibly generous amount of chicken.By first glance, a native islander might think my dish was just teriyaki chicken but the sauce defo got some twang to it-- that good type of twang :PThe greens were fresh and the rice was good, not mushy one bit which is typical when there is a sudden lunch rush.Unfortunately there was little to no seating as this joint has 3 other food carts neighboring with only 3-4 tables for seating.

First of all, 10/10 service- everyone was so sweet and inviting. There was also 0 wait when I went for lunch however I wasn't super impressed with their pork plate. The portion sizes are great but I found the pork to be super salty and I requested spicy and it was not spicy at all.The Mac salad could've used more seasoning and texture too. The lemonade was refreshing but didn't taste like lychee. I've definitely had better Hawaiian food especially coming from Chicago.

You need to know before you go that this place operates on island time, meaning that you will wait in line (I waited about 30 minutes) and then wait to get your food (I waited just over 20 minutes). However, if you're not in a hurry and can afford to wait, then it is absolutely worth it. Hey, this is an excellent opportunity to practice patience. The food is cooked fresh to order, and the owners are working hard to ensure that they take care of everyone as quickly as possible. I felt valued, which doesn't happen everywhere you go.I was greeted warmly with a pleasant smile and a "thank you for waiting". The aroma of the place kept luring me in while I was in line, as I kept changing my mind on what I wanted to try. I opted with the combo (Lilikoi BBQ Ribs, Teriyaki Chicken, Pasta Mac Salad, and White Rice). The ribs were falling off the bone as I devoured every bite. The chicken was tender and fresh. Every bite was packed full of flavor. I didn't want to stop, but this meal was big enough for two, so I decided to save some chicken for later.The Lilikoi Hawaiian Lemonade was also fresh and delicious. I love that they use an infinitely recyclable cup for the lemonade. Huge plus in my book. I think it would be really great if they used compostable ECO products instead of styrofoam for their to-go containers, but that's just a personal request and doesn't take away from what's on the inside of the container.There's not a ton of seating and you'll likely be sharing a table with other patrons, or pulling up a spot on the turf, but this didn't bother me. Perhaps bring a portable table and chair if knocking elbows with a stranger is not your idea of a good time.This is definitely a must-try because I guarantee you will enjoy it to the very last bite.

I had trouble finding the truck bc I was being dumb, but it's located on the turf on 16 St Mall and Welton. It's across from Kilwins and Radio Shack if you need a more physical address.The server lady was extremely friendly and offered a free bottle of water in the ice box outside the truck while waiting for my order.I got the combo to try the two of the main meats. I got the ribs and the teriyaki chicken. They were both good, but it was nothing mind-blowing, especially the chicken. It was like the common taste that you can experience in express Asian restaurants similar to Panda Express. But overall, I had a very filling meal.

Well worth the wait! We were in town for a tournament and found Kealoha's ahead of time. We knew this was a place we had to try. While at the tournament we ordered online. It was a short distance from our hotel so we picked it up on our way "Home". The area where this food truck was located is nested on a patch of grass with about 3 other places to eat. The owners were super friendly, we got to chat with them for a little. If you're from the islands you know that it's the true aloha spirit that these two have. "Aunty" and "Unko" even sent us off with lilikoi lemonade (it was the bomb) and butter mochi that we'll eat later. Anyway, getting back to our order. We ordered a little of everything but I really wanted to try the teriyaki burger. My husband ordered the chicken and ribs, one daughter got the loco moco, I ordered the chicken and the other child got the spam musubi. I will say that the ribs are a must!!! The sauce on the chicken is to die for and that loco moco is one of the best we've ate. My youngest had the spam musubi and I was afraid she wouldn't eat it because she's picky and the sauce was on it. Anyway, I didn't get to try it but she gobbled that thing down in bites. Safe to say, she loved it. Love the whole vibe of this cute little area. Whenever in the area, we'll be back!! Aloha!

So I actually ordered food from another restaurant, but when I got there, they were closed. This wonderful restaurant gave me a whole plate of food. After hearing I lost out on money and my food. Beautiful people and the atmosphere was a blessing. THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD !! The Bbq sauce is everything and chicken so tender! Ribs fell right off the bone. It's a must try! I'll be coming back with the whole family next time!
