You don't have a review for the food truck so I'll leave it here. Update your menu so you stop selling people items that you won't make. I have tried 2x to get the zero sugar and was told the first time you were out. This time I was advised you don't even carry it on the truck. This is fine, but I preorder and you just replaced it with what you want not giving me the option to choose. I paid extra for the item I wanted and get base filler full of the sugar I need to avoid. Don't cop out your customers.

Hi Doneil326, thank you for your feedback. We’re always working to improve.
Great Acai and cheaper compared to many other locations. Love the variety of add-ons such as protein base or peanut butter and more

Thank you Cristian for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Alohana Acai Bowls and Smoothies - San Marcos (San Elijo Hills).
I usually love this place and get the double rainbow but went this morning and appear to have paid for the bigger size and got the smaller one but also got a bowl full of granola and hardly any fruit on top. These are expensive to not get what you pay for. 😔 They also said they’d call my name when my order was ready but just left it sitting on the counter until I went up and asked. Not my favorite experience but most times I’ve been to this location they’ve been really good.
