Our list of best Foodtrucks on Bonaire

123 Car Rental has put together a list of the 16 best Food Trucks for you, so that you can enjoy a delicious snack or meal in a completely different atmosphere than the usual restaurants.

1. 1. Pastechi & More

Can be found on the boulevard (Kaya J. N. E. Craane, Kralendijk), near Parke Tului. A real favorite when it comes to the local ‘Pastechi’s. They are freshly prepared in front of you in various flavor variants. Please note that it may take quite a while before your order is ready, because it can be quite busy!

2. 2. Jonny’s pizza

Jonny’s Pizza can be found in the evenings in the Telbo parking lot. If you haven’t been to Jonny, you haven’t been to Bonaire. This is by far the happiest man on the island. While baking incredibly delicious pizzas in his brick oven on wheels, he watches his favorite series on TV and sings a song every now and then. It is a true experience to get a nice fresh meal out of the oven from this great guy in the late hours (yes, even after going out)! Johnny is there from Wednesday to Sunday from 8:30 PM – 2:30 AM.

3. 3. Stoked

 This beautiful old English double-decker has been converted into a unique food truck! Stoked has become an icon on the beach ‘Te Amo’. They mainly sell burgers and their fresh fish burgers are highly recommended!

4. Pita Madre

 The Pita Madre can be found at the large roundabout of Hato. Right next to the entrance of Chogogo Resort. Here the always cheerful Marnix prepares the most delicious pitas. From a tasty variation on the ordinary toasted sandwich, to the most richly filled sandwiches! Always satisfied at Pita Madre.

5. Kite City

Kite City, just like the bus from Stoked on the beach of ‘Te Amo’, has become indispensable. They offer a very diverse menu with delicious burgers, wraps and salads. The Tuna Sashimi is a must-try!

6. Cactus Blue

Cactus Blue can be found along the road at ‘Donkey Beach’. This is the only place where you can eat fresh lionfish burgers every day. The lionfish requires a special method of preparation because it is poisonous, but the chef of this little truck knows how to handle it!

7. King Kong Burger

King Kong burger can be found on the small beach ‘Bachelors Beach’, opposite Bloozz Resort. The name says it all, they have killer burgers here! We don’t need to say more, because our mouths are already watering!

8. Smooth Operator

Smooth Operators is located at Kaya Gilberto F. Croes 28 (opposite the Stadium). If you fancy a delicious fresh smoothie then this is the place to be. The nice thing about this place is that they have a homemade drive-thru, where you can order from the car and then your order is thrown into your car via a slide.

You can also order poffertjes here for those who are homesick!

9. Holy Smoke

Holy Smoke can be found on the Kaya Ir. Randolph Statius from Eps 17. This is almost at the beginning of the road from Bachelors Beach towards Sorobon. Holy Smoke keeps it very simple. They often only have 2 or 3 things on the menu. But then they also guarantee that it will taste holy! They smoke their dishes to perfection with their homemade grill!

10. 10. The Urban Dominican

    The Urban Dominican can be found on the Kaya Gilberto F. Croes, opposite the Stadium on the site next to the Car Wash disco. Dominicans know what good food is, and you will taste it at The Urban. Deliciously prepared meals and snacks with a Caribbean touch bring Santo Domingo a little closer. Bon Apetit!
