The Big Kahuna

Had the ahi tuna today. More then I expected in flavor an presentation. The owners are very friendly and helpful! As a person who works in the food industry and had my hand in top notch food trucks and restaurants this one has great potential! Stands out from the rest in the area

I returned because I saw a picture of their shoyu chicken and was besotted. Placed my order and the gentleman said you can’t go wrong with it, and that it is a comfort food. This came at a time when comfort food was exactly what I needed.
The chicken easily pulls apart under your fingers, like my friend’s Filipino adobo but with a savory sauce instead of sweet and sour. The sunimono (your other choice is slaw) is so tasty, beautiful cukes/​carrots/​onions in a bright vinegar. Always love their rice, which receives the soy packet every time – not even really sure why I do that, but if it ain’t broke et cetera.
Altogether, a bargain feast – I’m so full and so happy. Can’t wait to see what new dish I try next.

There’s a reason why the Big Kahuna was voted the number one burger in San Marcos! Amazing burger and amazing people that run the place!

Went shopping at the outlets near San Marcos and wanted something «healthy-​ish» before getting stuck on I35 traffic heading home. After a brief search for «best salads» near my current location on Unilocal,I stumbled upon The Big Kahuna. First, I was intrigued by the name. And then sold on the pictures of ahi tuna poki! I mean how freaking cute are those carrot crabs, amiright? ;) I am so glad we checked it out because we were NOT disappointed! My roommate and I both got the ahi tuna poki with the cucumber salad and muli muli chicken skewers! Already planning what I will get the next time I go! And def gonna need some white chocolate macadamia cookies to go! A well-​deserve five stars

I looove this place. Its a great place to come on a nice day where you can sit outside and enjoy your food.

This place is amazing! The ahi poke is delicious. We drive from San Antonio almost every Saturday for lunch. The owners are awesome people!

These were amazing tacos. Fast service, beautiful and extremely delicious. The servers were extremely friendly and happy to chat about whatever. Definitely coming back with friends.

Found this place on Unilocal and so glad I did. The customer service is A1 the man that helped me detailed everything and made sure that I was going to like what I ordered. I got the poki oh more loorddd it was so good !! I recommend it. Also a cute little date spot

Always 5 stars. Not just for the food but for the service as well. They’re great about explaining to you exactly what the dish is if you’re unsure. They also told me that since it’s cold and rainy that I could go sit in my car and wait and they’d bring my food to me. The food does take a little while to come out but it’s worth it. It’s definitely made to order and always delicious.

I got the Hawaiian style chicken bulgogi with a cucumber salad and it was amazing! (Fries are good too!) I can’t wait to come back to try more things on their menu. Great service as well.

I don’t claim to be a poke aficionado, but the poke at Big Kahuna was very good. Very generous portion size, and a really healthy meal that will keep you full all day long. The flavor was great on the slaw and poke (served over greens, two thumbs up for that!). The people running the truck knew where the fish came from (Indonesia, on the day I was there) and that’s always a good thing, even if the source isn’t a Seafood Watch Best Choice. Nice little outside eating area with some yard games to play while you wait.

I love this trailer. I trust it and enjoy my food there. Their fish tacos are delicious and I enjoy talking with the owner. He loves cooking and gets to do it daily. Thanks for the delicious food.

My family just LOVES the food at The Big Kahuna! The food was delicious! We ordered the Beef bulgogi, poke plate and Northshore burgers. The food was presented beautifully, with meats placed nicely on top of a green banana leaf, and the salad was garnished with a carrot carved in the shape of a crab and a flower which added a nice island touch to our plates. It was very busy, but I can see why… because the food was worth the wait!

My husband and I were christmas shopping at san marcos outlets. We are big Unilocal peple. Big kahuna came up 5 star rating. All I can say it worth the 10 min trip .I had island favorite with lava sauce 5 plus star’s for me. Husband order coconut shrimp, pulled pork slider, sticky rice pineapple sauce lava sauce DELICIOUS. You really need to come out and try. Owners awesome service patient, took her time to describe and recomend items. It os a must if you are near by.

Well me fellow Unilocalers, you’ve done it again! We checked this place out specifically because of your reviews and were NOT disappointed!
Delicious fare but be ware. The flies are trained and know exactly when to attack! Just as our food arrived it was as if we had ordered them right off the menu. The lil bastards were relentless.
Anyways customer service was wonderful. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the nice lady in the little window. She explained the menu options and waited patiently for us to make up our minds. After ordering we took a seat at a picnic table just across from the truck. It did take a while for our food to arrive which was surprising. There may have been 10 people total in the food court but that’s okay. Not sure if it’s typical but our food was delivered right to our table. Nice!
I had fish tacos. I’ve never cared for them but thought I’d give them a try. So glad I did. They were wonderful! A little messy but what good taco isn’t?

De-​lish-​ous, Ali Poki salad, with macadamia but salad dressing was not only fulfilled, but delishous! Yes I know how to spell delicious, but when you put love and passion in your food it shows in the taste. The owners were supper friendly and the seating arrangement was suitable for a food truck park.
The only bad thing, was the flies apparently knew how well the food was, because as soon as our plates hit the table, there they came. Couldn’t enjoy the savoury of our food due to the flies on your plate, on your back, and all around not to mention the bees that we’re holding the trash can hostage.
Even with such cruelness of the flying invasion of insects, food was terrific, and the next time we are passing through, this will definitely be a place to revisited. Great job Big Kahuna get rid of those flies!

At first I was skeptical and I was picky, I didn’t know what to get and then I almost refused the cabbage mixed into the meat. But I’m telling you the big kahuna burger was the best burger ever! The fries were amazing and best of all it was fast! I’ll definitely be back that’s for sure! Hands down best burger you will find in San Marcos !

Amazing! Found this looking on Unilocal headed home from the river. Told my friend lets go there instead of Dairy Queen. We went and It was between the Poke or the Loco Moco. After deliberating with Milani I decided to go for the poke because it’s been a while since I had it. It was a choice I didn’t regret.
I was super excited to here the name «Kristina» so I could try it. It was love at 1^st bite. It reminded me of the Poke I would get when living in Hawaii. Fresh, flavorful and it was a large portion. It’s healthy and you get a generous amount of Ahi Tuna. I choose the Japanese salad on the side. The cucumbers were fresh and added to the clover of the Tuna. What topped it off was the Vinaigrette. It has a slight ginger flavor but not overwhelming. Just Perfection! I will make sure to return whenever I’m in town just so I can try other items on their menu.

Really. Awesome. Food.
If you’re into food trucks and are in San Marcos, this is the place to go. Always consistent and I’ve never had a complaint with this place. The owners are friendly and are a good fit for The Hitch.

Awesome food truck. I had a pork taco, and a fish taco and they were both very tasty.
The lady in the truck was extremely friendly and the food came out rather quickly.
The salsa was kind of spicy but not too bad and the price was very reasonable.
I would come again and try more off the menu.
