Keeping the Aloha Spirit Alive
When the original owners of TNT Aloha Cafe decided to move on, the Torrance community worried that a local favorite might be lost. That’s when Steve Hernandez — a former team member and lifelong fan — stepped up. Having worked at TNT during his younger years, Steve felt a strong connection to its mission: serving fresh Hawaiian food with heart and sharing the spirit of Aloha through every plate. Today, he continues the tradition, keeping TNT Aloha Cafe a beloved part of Torrance and the South Bay.
Steve’s Return to TNT Aloha Cafe
In 2019, after years of running his own business and working across other industries, Steve Hernandez came back to where it all began—TNT Aloha Cafe. Just as the pandemic hit, Steve officially took ownership of the Torrance-based Hawaiian restaurant, committed to preserving its roots while bringing fresh energy to the menu and experience. With a deep love for Hawaiian food, community, and hospitality, Steve has helped keep TNT’s legacy strong, earning the loyalty of longtime locals and new guests alike.
