Didn’t get what I ordered and paid for. Cool was argumentative so I said it was fine and walked away. Cool spot but cashier said she didn’t actually work there (weird???) and the cook was combative.The one taco (ordered and paid the for the 3 taco plate) was pretty good though. Burger was so so. Chips came out of a large bag.

Awesome food, awesome staff, awesome service. I’ve eaten a variety of items on the menu they don’t miss. Ask her for the biscuits and gravy. Tell her Stephen sent you, you will get a discount. :)

I told the guy working that I would leave a review almost a year ago and I never did but I came across a picture from my trip that had the name of the spot on it so here I am. I received great service here and had probably the best fish taco I’ve ever had. I talk about this taco all the time. If you find yourself in Hana, this taco is a must

Follow us on Instagram: @eat_or_hateThe food was amazing!We’ve ordered:- hawaiian style chicken BBQ sandwich w/ chips ($18): very tasty!- fresh crispy buttered fish & chips ($18): fish was very good, but chips (French fries), should be homemade.- grilled mahi mahi plate ($25): w/ sauted asparagus, green beans, 3 side salads over jasmine rice: this this from start to the need was PERFECT!? Very tasty fiah, great sauce, awesome asparagus. You have to try it!!!

Wife and I shared the Loco Moco after a long Hana Road day. Owner was very friendly. Food tasted delicious and it was plenty for us to share.

The grilled Ono sandwich and my wife's fish tacos were very good! I had grilled Ono at Mama's House, and it was overcooked. This time it was cooked quite well! They were great meals to end our most excellent vacation trip in Maui! Highly recommended!

Loved this little joint. One of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had. Tarter sauce is amazing and the owners grandmother's recipe. Definitely would go back. Owner is very nice as well!

Rude and underwhelming food!The lady running the place was extremely rude and abrupt when we inquired about our order, after 20 minutes of waiting. The fish is all frozen bought from Costco most likely and defrosted. The fries were from a frozen bag. Nothing is homemade or fresh as the menu advertises. Beware, STAY AWAY!!! Tourist trap! And the lady of the food truck had her 3 year old, unkempt child barefoot playing around the truck.

Breakfast burrito was huge and delicious, just what I needed after a night of camping! Took some time to get it-island time is real and Hana is slower than Kahului. Worth the wait! Getting a breakfast burrito turned into about an hour's worth of chatting with the owner and a local couple, AND a bonus blueberry cheesecake! Being a part time Maui resident, reading the “service was too slow” reviews makes me want to give away “slow down, this ain’t the mainland” bumper stickers.

Hope you look up reviews before eating here. We didn’t. Bummer to have wasted a lunch here. The fish tacos were the worst we’ve ever had. I had grilled. Husband had friend. Yuck. Move along to another good truck in the area. All other trucks have got to be better than this.

I wish I could tell you how their food is, but I can't. The cashier spent 10 minutes talking to her friend. I asked multiple times if I could place my order. The cook apologized. I was still ignored so I left.

I would love to give a five star because my bacon pesto vegetable sandwich was delish but it was supposed to have chicken on it and there wasn’t a single piece of chicken. Was supposed to be the chicken bacon pesto sandwich. I got it to go and didn’t think I’d have to check for my chicken. Otherwise it was very tasty. Was a pricy sandwich for vegetables ??‍♀️ but definitely give it a try as I’m sure it was a mistake.

Excellent breakfast burritos with choice of bacon, Portuguese or breakfast sausage. Very friendly folks. Good place to start the day!

Great fish and chips, especially the sauce! However due to staffing shortage the chef refused to make anything more complicated than that. Very unfortunate!
