Honos Shrimp Truck

Best food truck in area must have. Spicy shrimp has great flavor and right amount of burn won't make you sweat.

On my trip to Oahu I decided to take a drive to North Shore with my son.  Last time out here I passed on the shrimp trucks and regretted it.  This time even though I was sick as a dog, battling the flu or something I was determined to stop and eat at one.  We saw an area that had a few trucks and decided on Honos.  There were so many to choose from I couldn't decide so we got the BBQ Shrimp.  As others have said it came with 10 HUGE shrimp, two scoops of rice and a coleslaw.

It took a while for us to get our food but once it arrived we were in heaven.  My son and I shared one plate and it was filling (probably because I was sick).  One per person would definitely make a nice meal.  The shrimp were cooked well and well rice is rice.  I wasn't a big fan of the cole slaw.  Not because it was vinegar based, I have had some nice ones, but it lacked any flavor.

The only issue that I had other then the wait was they give you one napkin and these were some messy shrimps!  They did let us use the sink behind the truck to wash our hands ( had to fend off a rooster).

One of the cool things about this truck is that they have sharpies and you can write on the truck.  I wrote Dough #54 for my ball player at home.

Even though the food was excellent the issue with returning is that there are so many other shrimp trucks that I would like to give a try next time I am out.  I guess if I was a local I would go a few more times.

For $12, you get a plate with 2 scoops of rice, coleslaw (vinegar-based, not creamy), and 10 shrimp (I think). The shrimp are big and are pre-cut so they're easy to peel. We got both the garlic and spicy garlic  flavors. Both are great!
