"A pandemic-born food truck rooted in hyperlocal sourcing and seasonality: the chef grows basil, chili peppers and tomatoes and supplements what she can’t raise with produce from Moorea farmers, adding seasonal items such as fried pumpkin to poke bowls and pineapple to fish tacos. Standout preparations noted by visitors include a carpaccio of tuna with mango and ginger and a house-made kombucha fermented with local honey." - Jeff Chu

Delicious tacos and so unique (octopus was the special for the day). Portion sizes were very generous, tacos also came with a side of chips. The owner is so friendly and she was great with accommodating my allergies!

Incredible poisson cru au lait de coco. Light citrus seed, beautiful texture fish with a delicious rice underneath and fresh vegetables. Nice little tables and a little mall with shade and a real ceramic bowl. Easy parking nearby.

If your looking for the best sea food on island look no further this place has it all. Day 1 we had the lobster rolls in the coconut buns and it was simply perfect. They have a variety of fresh fish that the fisherman bring to them right after they catch as well. By far my favorite spot and the staff were super friendly and nice to talk to. Thank you guys so much and we’ll be coming back time and time again

Ate there twice. Poisson cru and poke bowl were excellent. Wife had fish tacos and fish sandwich which is huge. The place is a food truck with sheltered tables. Mind you the food is spot on well presented and comes quick. Lobster roll was on special but I failed to order darn… everyone around us got the roll and seemed really pleased. A must visit.

We ordered the poke bowl and it was delicious. The serving portion is very large, with big tuna chunks, and very fresh. The owner was so nice to us (we spoke french). I highly recommend Pura Vida if you are around and if you like fast seafood. Big thumbs up! 👍👍👍

Amazing food from a tiny van. We had lunch here twice - fish tacos, poke bowl and quesidillas were all excellent. Don't drive past you won't find anything better!

Tasted SO good. We got the poisson cru and curry, as well as the fish tacos. Hefty portion sizes, although it’s not very cheap. I felt it needed salt (as do a lot of dishes on the island) but they were super nice and gave me some in a cup when I asked.

Amazing!! Fantastic roadside food truck with incredible fresh Poke Bowls and fish tacos. We also had the taco special with fresh fish inside a bread fruit tortilla. Great portions and service was amazing. One of those off the beaten path memorable spots!!!
