If you’re searching for a great BREWERY nearby, don’t let Google fool you. We thought this was more of a taproom/pour house but it turns out they make their own beer and it’s the best we have had on the island, maybe the best in Hawaii!

Walking into Mucho Aloha Brewhouse was truly an experience—but not one I’d recommend to anyone with an ounce of self-respect. Let’s start with the greeting. I use that term loosely because the person taking orders could barely be bothered to address anyone in line, instead hydrating like she’d been on a desert trek (or perhaps just nursing a hangover). Every single time we made it up to her in line, she’d be gulping water, ready to prioritize whoever randomly wandered up to the bar over the entire line of patiently waiting customers. If you’re into a system that defies logic and customer service, this is the place for you.
We eventually managed to grab our own menus—because apparently, at Mucho Aloha, you serve yourself in every possible way. And don’t expect a friendly heads-up on what they’re out of until you try to order it. My attempt to get a beer I actually wanted was met with a “sorry, we’re out” and a weak suggestion to try a honey IPA that had all the charm of flat soda and genuinely made me gag. Nothing quite says “craft beer” like a lack of carbonation, right?
When our food finally arrived, I realized they were serious about the whole “self-serve” vibe. I had to go hunt down utensils and napkins by the water coolers—no, not actual table service water, but some DIY hydration station that made me question their sanitary practices. And, as luck would have it, there weren’t any napkins or utensils there either. So I had to trudge back to the counter, get back in line, and wait again, only to be handed cold food by the time I got back to my table. Really setting new standards here.
At this point, we decided it’d be best to cut our losses and take our food to go. But naturally, even that involved getting back in line just to beg for to-go boxes. By the end, I felt like I’d spent more time waiting in line than actually eating. Oh, and if you do need to use the restroom? Better hope you remember the key code, because Mucho Aloha takes bathroom security to a whole new level. Nothing like a fortress approach to the facilities in a place that already feels like a bathroom due to the lovely aroma and close proximity to, well, everything.
Save yourself the time, money, and sanity—skip Mucho Aloha Brewhouse. You’re better off eating at a gas station.

Really great spot! We got the nachos and carne asada quesadilla, both were delicious and the portions were huge, especially the nachos. Our beers were also very good. It was very busy at lunch time but we were greeted with a smile from the very friendly bartender. Definitely recommend!

Surprisingly good Mexican-ish food. I like elotes and fish tacos. Really good salsa that seems homemade.
Nice little place to sit in the courtyard.
Ok beers. Rye IPA was my fave.
