Delightfully refreshing! The acai bowl was perfect for a hot summer day. We also tried a beef & cheese pastel. Probably not the healthiest but definitely yummy! Absolutely wonderful experience every single time without fail. Thank you so, so, so much to the entire staff at Crispy Grindz!

Great brazilian street food! The coxinha was the best, and the pastels are huge. Also really tasty honenade acai bowls with plenty of toppings. Drive up parking and picnic benches. Thanks for being open earlier than everywhere else so we could get some great breakfast.

I love getting their large Acai with strawberries. The granola is a perfect balance to the acai. We always come after a beautiful day of surfing. I was very impressed when I got out of my car to be greeted by Aiden and PJ calling me by name (as I am a regular), but with such enthusiasm and energy. It makes a difference in feeling welcomed. I appreciate them creating this vibe!

Man, I wish this place was only a block away from where I live here on the mainland. It is a small purple food truck with a few picnic tables that it is sharing with other vendors. Parking is available in front of the truck for their patrons. I ordered a large acai bowl and topped it with bananas, blueberries, granola, and coconut shavings. My bf, who doesn't eat anything healthy, also ordered the acai smoothie. Both of the items we ordered were so yummy! The acai didn't taste like it was watered down. We took those while we were enjoying the sun at the beach. On our way back to Waikiki, we got some more of their smoothies because we were craving for more! As I said earlier, I wish that this place was just a block away from where I live and I'd go there every single day. I wish I am back to Hawaii right now.

Yes, the service is slow. But that’s because they make everything to order. It’s also why everything is absolutely delicious. So if you order, I would recommend that you be patient. They serve assorted pastels, chicken coxinha, pao de queijo, misto quente, along with acai bowls. Most of the time, when you buy a pastel, you get this deep-fried pastry that is filled with 90% air and 10% filling. Not so at CG - their pastel was huge and packed with filling (palmito and cheese for me). The CG coxinha was a standout though. The coxinhas that I have eaten used a shredded chicken filling that was usually dried out. The stingier places also skimped out on the filling. The coxinha at CG though were stuffed with super-moist, flavorful, cubed bits of chicken. And to top it off, they used panko to make it extra crispy on the outside. As for the pao de queijo, they were also very good, but it looked like they were made in a mini waffle maker. I’ve never seen that before - probably a clever work-around to not having an oven in the food truck. Had it not been for the pastel and the coxinha, I would have probably raved more about the pao de queijo. A bit of advice - check to see if the tables behind the food trucks are available - They are much nicer than the tables by the street which are crowded, noisy, and right by the street.
