Mahalo!

Same Aloha, New Home.

We started as a little purple food truck in Naalehu, the southernmost food truck in the USA.

For ten years, family run, we served plate lunches from the yard near Ka Lae: hand-painted plank signs, picnic tables and string lights. Along the way, Yelp named us one of the Top 100 Food Trucks in the country.

Now we have moved north to Kailua-Kona as Aloha Mix Cafe. Same recipes, same family, same aloha, with reclaimed-wood walls, granite tabletops and a covered patio. Come find us at Alii Plaza.
