8 Best Taco Restaurants near Paia

“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!“

“It was my first time in Maui for a work trip, and I was looking for a good lunch spot nearby—so glad I found this gem! I hadn’t had vegan or vegetarian food in a while, and this place absolutely hit the spot.

I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chickless lunch special, which came with the soup of the day and a dessert. I also got the Medicine Maker smoothie to go with it. Everything was delicious! The crispy “chicken” paired perfectly with a soft bed of jasmine rice, and the cabbage side was crunchy, fresh, and topped with toasted furikake flakes for extra flavor.

The smoothie was out of this world. The best way I can describe it is like drinking one of those Mexican mango candies with the chili coating I loved as a kid—sweet with a perfect kick of heat.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Maui. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town for work!“

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

“Great food, prepared to order. We had the Camerones Del Mar, shrimp tacos, and as a bonus, Thai tea - all very yummy. There are two shaded tables to sit at. Be prepared to wait a little bit, but it's totally worth it. An outstanding topper to our excursion to the Marine Memorial Park.“

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

“i found this food truck because my usual birria spot closed down. this lead to me repeatedly visiting this food truck throughout the summer because it is genuinely the best mexican cuisine i’ve ever had. i’ve been all around california and the bay area, and the birria tacos that i’ve had in my life have never compared to this. not only is the food absolutely stellar, but there is ONE lady who works the food truck. she takes your order, then turns around and makes it all herself. SO QUICKLY. WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE. the service is amazing. all of the sides are amazingly seasoned and delicious. horchata is perfect. i’m so glad that my usual birria spot wasn’t there that day because i found an absolute gem. the CONSISTENCY of the quality blows my mind. please anyone, if you’re reading this, GO TO LINDAS KITCHEN AND GET BIRRIA TACOS.“

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