The Texas Bucket List - Pineapple Ninjaz on South Padre Island
Ойын-сауық
A bright yellow food truck sits on the side of the road in South Padre, serving up island style treats to quite the crowd. At Pineapple Ninjaz, all of their drinks and delicious dishes are doled out within whole or halved pineapple fruits. Some of their most popular creations include the Piña Colada smoothie and the Big Baller Bowl. The Big Baller Bowl features Cajun seasoned jasmine white rice, grilled zucchini fries, lobster, chicken, and shrimp all cooked up and stuff inside of a pineapple half. The Piña Colada is the perfect accompaniment. It is a simple combination of blended coconut juice and ice topped with freshly cut pineapple and optional Tajin Chamoy, served inside a whole pineapple for the perfect island paradise treat.

You read my mind for reals..weslaco tx
My boyfriend and I were really excited to try this concept of pineapples filled with food. We saw the pictures and even the interview they had with the KZread channel " The Texas Bucket List ". When we got there the lady taking the order was very nice and energetic. She was good at selling the food they had there, but do not be fooled. We decided to try the big baller bowl, which features rice, chicken, lobster and shrimp. To our surprise, the food was not seasoned, the rice was undercooked and our pineapple did not have chicken. We ate this pineapple between my bf and I because it was sold to us by the lady telling us it was for 2 persons. The pineapple did not have enough food to even fill one person. We actually had to buy more food somewhere else because we were still hungry. We wasted $40, which for me is very overpriced. Not to mention, the odor there was very unpleasant due to the trash that accumulates. Last thoughts, with those $20-$60 you might waste on the pineapple you can go to any other restaurant on the island and actually pay for a full meal. Unless you eat very little and do not like seasoned food then you can go there. If you are still debating on whether to go or not just go during the day when there is not a lot of people.

Sorry to hear this- at least know you know not to go back . It just sucks the host of "Texas Bucket List " showcases joints like these -- I'm sure his pineapple was FREE so he can't complain.. Did u tell the manager?

That's EXACTLY how I feel. I went there earlier today and was disappointed...EXTREMELY overpriced.! Like you said, for what you paid there, you can buy a complete meal at Blackbeard's..! I bought 2: one like yours and another filled with just more chunks of pineapple.: $50.! For that price, my wife and I could've had TWO shrimp dinners, complete with a salad at Blackbeard's... I posted my honest opinion on Facebook ( no foul language or anything ), and I got LOTS of haters ( INCLUDING the owner) suggesting that I go to McDonald's instead..

Looks amazing!!! Yummmm
SPI for my boyfriend and I is out getaway. We've passed by this place every time and never gave it a try but after viewing your vlog we are going to try it out, soon!!! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to try that crazy delicious pineapple boat filled with goodness!! Blessings!
I'll be visiting this joint the next time in South Padre! Looks amazing and the owner seems very cool!!

Went excitingly after watching the video and it was all hype. Got the lobster not as good as it look. Everyone was more excited to put pictures up on Instagram than actually eating it. Payed 43 dollars for the lobster combo and the pina colada. Hope this helps!

Mostly gimmicky stuff. Nothing special at all. A pineapple orientated truck with no al pastor? Nah, that’s a pass.
It’s actually not all that great, it’s pretty bland they usually never have the full menu. And it’s overpriced even for a tourist destination.

STAY AWAY from this place...! It's a complete rip-off. ....unless of course, you wanna spend $40!! for HALF of a pineapple with a shrimp or two in the middle... Trust me.! For that amount, you can have TWO well served entrees at Blackbeards just about a mile away.....
