Since 1997, Da Kine's Hawaiian Catering on La Mesa Boulevard has built a plate-lunch catering operation rooted in traditional Hawaiian recipes adapted for San Diego's event circuit. The kitchen produces kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, and steamed rice in bulk-tray formats scaled for corporate functions, weddings, and private parties, a drop-off and full-service catering scope that complements the pub-style event menus at Hooleys Public House on the same boulevard. Custom menus are built per event, adjusting protein counts, side rotations, and tray sizes to match headcounts from small office lunches to large receptions. The La Mesa Boulevard commissary handles prep, portioning, and packaging under one roof, giving the catering radius a logistical center on the same corridor where Smokey and The Brisket BBQ anchors the barbecue side of La Mesa's event-catering market. Signature trays feature lomi-lomi salmon prepared with hand-diced tomato and sweet onion, haupia coconut pudding set from fresh coconut milk, and poi sourced from taro root processed to a smooth, starch-dense consistency.
