Hawaiian Food Truck Catering in San Diego
Searching for authentic Hawaiian food truck catering in San Diego? You’re in the right place. America’s Finest City shares an island-style love for surf, sun, and ono grinds, so it’s no wonder Hawaiian cuisine feels right at home from Mission Bay luaus to corporate lunches downtown in the Gaslamp.
Hawaiian cooking is a delicious blend of Polynesian traditions and the diverse cultures that landed on the islands—Portuguese sailors, Japanese plantation workers, American GIs, and more. That melting pot created favorites like poke, kalua pork, and loco moco. Best Food Trucks partners with top local vendors to bring those flavors straight to your event, whether you’re feeding 25 coworkers in Sorrento Valley or 500 guests at a wedding overlooking La Jolla Cove.
Check out a few of our San Diego Hawaiian and Pacific-inspired options:
- PB Poke House – Serving their award-winning poke bowls from a 10×10 tent, perfect for beachside gatherings in Pacific Beach.
- Leilani’s Food Truck – Bringing classic Hawaiian plate lunches and spam musubi to block parties all over North Park and beyond.
- Aunty Lynne – An Asian-fusion favorite offering island BBQ pulled pork, bulgogi, and teriyaki skewers that wow corporate crowds in UTC.

The Debris Fries are Delicious. The pork and chicken had great flavor and very tender. Not typical but the pasta salad tasted different today- and we didn't care for it🙃

One of the workers is a little sassy, order was still a little late, food tastes good but portion sizes could be bigger - hungry an hour later when i pay 17+ dollars

- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
