The Texas Bucket List - Pineapple Ninjaz on South Padre Island

- 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.

“Alohaaa, Ha... South Padre Island!” 😂
What's up Claudia?
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 TH-cam 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..
@@mikemartinez1885 = that sucks, but hey got to keep them honest and post your real experience so people can know.
I was there 3 weeks ago and based on this video we went to check it out and like you was VERY disappointed. It was pretty expensive and very under seasoned. I do not recommend.
@@mikemartinez1885 Wow, that's so bad, I posted reviews everywhere. They are literally stealing from people. The least the owner can do is offer something in return for the unpleasant experience.
Passed that place many times and never stopped .. I’m definitely going this weekend
The guest looks like the host's younger brother
foreverbatman I was thinking the same! 😄
You read my mind for reals..weslaco tx
Cheers from South Padre Island Texas. Come on down folks
I just went here yesterday!
My family and I love going to South Padre it so beautiful
It is my goal to drive around at SPI in my 1964 Chevy Impala SS, wearing a gorilla suit and smoking a big cigar!
I'll be visiting this joint the next time in South Padre! Looks amazing and the owner seems very cool!!
Is good man I always go I live only 30 min away
Amazing lightning last couple of days around your location Shane!!!
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!
Same here all hype
You're lucky...
I got suckered out of $50..
....for just TWO items.!!!
EXTREMELY overpriced...
I figured it was overpriced garbage
Looks amazing!!! Yummmm
Love this Guy
Good stuff Shane! 🍍👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing my friend!
I'm glad I read the comments first or else I would've been very disappointed. I was kinda side eyeing them not putting that pineapple in some foil or something when handing it to costumers
Great show! Next in the valley, hit up The Smoking Oak in Mercedes!
That place is probably the best bbq in the rgv
Julio Sifuentes i grew up in Harlingen in the 90s , what’s the best taco spot down there now
That pineapple concoction i get up here in Minnesota. So good
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!
IV passed that truck a dozen times, next time I'm definitely going to try it.
Do not go, definitely not worth it
@@esmeraldagonzalez3470
I agree with you..!
I found out the hard way...😣
Hell yeah....I'll be going down there this August visit my family....Valluco Bound!!
Anyone thinking of coming down South, Pineapple Ninjaz is definitely the spot to try 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rgv spi all day ... goin to try it out this weekend...
Omg I was there is definitely delicious 😋😋😋😋😋
Need to try this this weekend! #brownsvilletexas btw just be carefull with the speed limits in port isabel cops are just waiting. Lol got a ticket this last weekend! 😅
We loved it!!!
Yall gotta try Ceviche Ceviche across the st. in spi and Tortugas in port Isabel!
I think he made a video on it already.
Ceviche ceviche is the bomb dot com!
Why is that woman wearing a long sleeve sweater, and scarf ?
must be the cold weather, relatively speaking :)
Looks freakin amazing 👀👀👀😍😍
Wow Jerry so happy for you....
Went today ,looks better than what it was. If you cut a pocket out of pineapple then put it back in the bowl. Zucchini fries soggy .
Great attitude.
It’s been so long I miss it so much there
The google reviews say something different about this place. Seems like it's all hype.
I'll b there tmrw!
Don't.... trust me.
You know the difference between South Padre and the Carribean? You can drive to South Padre, you have to fly to the Carribean!
I’m about to drive 10 hours to get there never been there
Most people do not know this, Ninja means silent assassin.
I think we just got a shout out.
Went there last weekend and it wasn't for me no good
Why not?
Pete Olivarez
All gimmick, no substance.
Raspas will forever be in my heart down in the valley
This place won’t disappoint 🔥
I hate getting food from trucks lol there so gross and dirty. But that's so San Antonio. Dirt everywhere lol
Sweet 👍 see you soon..
How did this guy tape this during quarantine!?
Dam n I always drive past it lol.
good good
Hey my friend
That place is nasty af. Don’t know y it gets so much appraisal.
Quick somebody give this guy $2M to start a restaurant. That would b a blast. Way to go,keep crankin it out. I’ll b the first thru the doors.
All hype not worth the money.! imo
Pineapple was cold making your rice cold by the time you eat I got the lobster $30 with more rice and pineapple than lobster
@Christopher W. Sanders
It's true... I was one of their suckers.!!
AVOID this place...!
EXTREMELY OVERPRICED...!!!!
Me and the fam will be there this june
That has to be political. There is way better restaurants that have been open for far longer. Cap'n Roy's is right next to that food truck. You should of gave him credit then this. Sounds like Natural Light beer can list to me.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is- give anyone a free meal and they will lyie about how good it is
Still haven’t bothered with this place.
Looks sad to be honest... the only thing that looks good is the piña colada, yet again you can find that in a ton of places.
Where?
🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
The owner is fine😻💋
Hey what's up
Pete Olivarez hello🙋🏻♀️
@@jessicazamora3412 = where u from girl? Money 💰 hungry hun?
Manu Garcia Money hungry? No i work
@@jessicazamora3412 = really, ? U all over this mans money
A great recommend 4 this bucket📝.👙🍹🍍🦐🍤🏝
Mostly gimmicky stuff. Nothing special at all. A pineapple orientated truck with no al pastor? Nah, that’s a pass.
Not realy a bucket list thing
I live in south padre fuck that place it sucks when you realize and see the truth of what it's like inside & outside the truck # roaches and dirty hands
Doesn't look like my cup of tea, but good for them doing something different!
I'm glad south texas is growing
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.
It is..!!!
I found out the hard way this afternoon..! 😳😳
SPI is nasty
How so?
This place sucks
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.....
