Texas Island BBQ food truck... at the Pahoa propane lot next to the Thai truck. We ate there today for the first time.
I gotta say.... wasn't impressed.
I ordered the beef brisket with two sides (I chose coleslaw and baked beans).
Beef was okay, tender and moist, but with an uninspired bland flavor. BBQ sauce on beef was underwhelming. Baked beans were equally dull, if they weren't from a can... I've had better from a can. The coleslaw was a crazy mix of contrasting flavors, I am a cilantro FIEND but it didn't work in their coleslaw. Price: $15.00
Wife had the pork ribs. She was equally unimpressed, add the word "dry" to the description. The best part of her meal was one of her sides, 1/2 corn on the cob dripping in butter. I can't remember the price but about the same.
We had high expectations and considering the price- $30 for two meals served in plastic to-go containers at a food truck; we're in no rush to go back.
