A new food truck, Hi-Cravings Southwest, has opened in Las Cruces, bringing a taste of Hawaiian food culture to the city. The truck is owned by Joseph and Valerie Perrault, who were inspired to start the business after the loss of their son. The menu features a variety of açaí bowls, which are made with pureed fruit bases and topped with fresh fruit.

Family Ties

The Perraults’ niece, Jessica Kamana’o, started the Hi-Cravings company in Hawaii 10 years ago. The family decided to invest in the business and bring it to Las Cruces. Joseph Perrault said that faith plays a big role in the business, and they strive to provide excellent customer service. The family aims to create a welcoming atmosphere, where customers feel like they are part of the family.

The business is also committed to giving back to the community. They participate in the New Mexico Department of Agriculture’s Taste the Tradition program, which promotes local products. The Perraults source ingredients from local farms and businesses, such as Canal Pecans and Garcia Farms.

Community Focus

Hi-Cravings Southwest can be found at various events and locations around Las Cruces. The family encourages customers to follow them on Instagram to stay up-to-date on their schedule and menu offerings. The truck’s mission is to provide healthy and delicious food options to the community, and they are excited to be a part of the Las Cruces food scene.
