Taco Restaurants near Kahului

“Auténtica comida Mexicana! Totalmente recomendable! Authentic Mexican food! Totally recommended!“

“This is Maui's first JITB that was renovated a few years ago.

ATMOSPHERE:
The inside is clean. The drive thru is open 24 hours.

FOOD:
Ultimate Cheeseburger
I always feel so guilty when eating this. It's pretty much the size of a DQP from McD's but tastes worlds better. And with curly fries? OMG.

Sourdough Jack
This is the only other burger I order besides the UC. Its a bit smaller and has a unique taste with the sourdough bread.

Portobello Mushroom Buttery Jack
I HAD to try this after seeing the commercial years ago, and it was damn delish! Butter makes everything better. I was surprised that the mushrooms were fresh and tasty, as was the Swiss cheese. I always opt for curly fries but I think the regular fries would go better with this burger.

Jumbo Jack with Cheese
This is my alternative to the Ultimate Cheeseburger when I need a small snack. It's a single patty topped with ketchup and mustard, onions, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and is just the right size.

Portuguese Sausage, Eggs & Rice
Ask anyone in Hawaii, and they'll say that McD's is the place to get this local breakfast platter, as they've been doing it for decades now. So how does JITB's version compare? IMO, it does not. My biggest gripe and pet peeve is that the sausages were sweet. Yuck! I loathe sweet foods unless it's a dessert. The scrambled eggs were definitely real and not of the Egg Beaters variety but, pass.

Hash Brown
While it tasted similar to the McD's one, it was slightly larger, and just as crispy.

Ham & Egg Breakfast Pocket
After seeing the commercials I had to try it! Unfortunately, the flour tortilla-wrapped finger food was so bland regardless of the salty ham and fake cheese. No sauce/condiments came with it. Pass.

SERVICE:
The drive thru can be super slow more so at late night. Staff are friendly.“

“Hempy's was fantastic hole in the wall place. The setting is super cozy and the food is delicious. The portion sizes, options , and quality of the food were great. The entire menu is vegan and has that home made quality to it. The service was also great , very polite and personable.“

“Ordered for catering and the Huli chicken, Kalua pork and Mac salad were a hit with my guests!“

“Happened to be walking by, saw how busy it was, and loved the chill vibe so I waited for a table and so glad I did. Staff is EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL! Food was outstanding! The breakfast burrito was 10/10! The smash burger is one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long long time. The pancakes were fluffy and full of flavor! Would 110% recommend Cafe Mambo and definitely worth the wait if they don’t have an empty table!“

“We visited Coconut’s Fish Cafe at the Azeka Shopping Center on December 4th, 2025 around 6:00 PM, and honestly, we had a really nice time. The place was clean the moment we walked in — tables, floors, everything looked well taken care of. It has a simple, relaxed island vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away.

The service was quick, and the staff kept things moving smoothly even with a steady flow of people coming in. Our food came out faster than we expected, which was great.

We tried the Coconut Shrimp, the Kalua Pork Plate, and the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi Plate, along with Aloha Maid juice, guava nectar, and a soft drink. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were good, and the flavors were light and easy to enjoy.

Overall, we walked out happy. It’s a clean spot with fast service, decent flavors, and a laid-back feel a solid choice for a casual dinner in Kihei.“

“Hands down the best in Maui! Brian puts his souls into everything he does.“

“We ordered 50+ tacos for a family event, and they came through in top form. Linda's separated the tacos by type and broke them down into individual servings. Big hit with everyone in attendance, Chicken Tinga seemed to be the all around favorite.“

“Massive shout-out to the Surf Club and Paia Inn in Maui for being the absolute best wedding venue we could have ever imagined! The setting was like something out of a dream—lush greenery, stunning ocean views, and the perfect blend of tropical vibes and intimate charm. The photos speak for themselves!

But what really made our day unforgettable was the incredible staff. From start to finish, they went above and beyond, making sure every detail was perfect. They handled everything with such care and made us and our guests feel so welcomed and at ease. It was like being surrounded by family!

If you’re looking for a wedding or event venue in Maui, do yourself a favor and check out the Paia Inn. The combination of beautiful surroundings and exceptional service made our special day even more magical. Mahalo to the entire team for making it all happen!
