Let's be honest for a minute: the Hawaiian Islands are insanely expensive, whether you are living paycheck-to-paycheck to reside in paradise or have been saving your spare change for decades to afford a Hawaiian vacation. Fortunately, for those of us who aren't celebrities with second homes on Maui, not all restaurants in Hawaii are expensive. In fact, Hawaii's assortment of incredible food trucks serve up some of the most mouthwatering and affordable eats around. Because not all food trucks are created equal - and it's impossible to judge a book by its cover in this case - we've compiled a list of 15 unassuming yet amazing mobile eateries throughout Hawaii, from iconic bakeries to those famous Hawaii shrimp trucks.

1. Ted’s Bakery, Haleiwa

Located on Oahu’s north shore is Ted’s Bakery, made famous for an impressive selection of pies, cakes, pastries and bread. But that’s not all Ted’s Bakery does – they also serve breakfast, lunch and dinner food. Some of the most popular dishes include garlic shrimp, loco moco, and the fried rice special.

2. Nana’s Snack Shack, Kapaa

2. Nana’s Snack Shack, Kapaa #2

Serving the Kihei area is this phenomenal seafood joint that serves up only the freshest poke and grilled fish plate lunches. You can even purchase fresh fillets to prepare at home!

Their signature espresso blend is top-knotch, they make a killer smoothie, and this salmon infused cream cheese bagel sounds heavenly.

9. Braddah Hutts BBQ Grill, Hana

This hole-in-the-wall eatery is - quite literally - a food truck in the middle of nowhere, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not worth the journey.
