Food Trucks: Located in North Plaza

Starting back in 2011, The Big Boy’s Filipino food truck offers all the amazing Filipino dishes that are mixed with a dash of Hawaiian flavors. At Big Boy’s, you will be able to find anything from Lechon to Poke, as they promise you the traditional Filipino taste with a hint of adventure. That adventure is in the combination of Filipino food cooking styles with Hawaiian island flavor! 

Since its debut in 2013, 'Chick'n Fix' has been the go-to destination for those seeking the perfect fusion of Asian and Southern flavors. Offering classic American staples such as hand-battered chicken strips and rosemary garlic fries, 'Chick'n Fix' stands out by infusing authentic Filipino flavors into its offerings. From their signature Bola Bola, crispy crumb-coated chicken and rice balls, to the delectable Island Macaroni Salad with apples and pineapples, each dish speaks to the culinary heritage of the Philippines. The recipes, passed down through generations, are a testament to the truck's commitment to preserving traditional cooking methods while adding a fresh, modern twist.
