Got the 3 for $5 Taco special and it was really good! Well worth the price and would recommend if you're in townside and want a good meal at a good price! - Miguel Morales Photography
Tbh we bought this randomly. We were sitting in the food truck park and were kinda just like "eh why not". It actually turned out great. The food has great tastes and good flavors. It was juicy, textures were matching. Had a good experience!
Finally got my chance to try. Was not disappointed. Food was delicious & well seasoned. Salsa has some kick but well balanced with its flavor. Good value at $5 for 3 carnitas tacos & $8 for 3 birria tacos. Portion sizes are consistent with the price. Reason for 4 stars, and not 5 are: operating hours are inconsistent. It's been open for years and today was the first day I came and it was open, and often times I came during posted operating hours. Overall: I recommend for food quality and value if it's open.
Mini tacos not too bad for the price. The shrimp and fish didn't have enough flavor and tasted a bit plain.
I got the aloha special with shrimp, fish and birria tacos. I also paid $1 for sour and cheese and my total was $9.99. The tacos were good but very small. I had a much more satisfying taco experience at the da nani pirates.
We got the 3 for $8 tacos, Shrimp, Fish and Birria. The tacos were not that great. The tortillas were small and flavorless. The best taco by far was the Birria taco. But even so, it was not something impressive or filling. The service was fast and efficient, they accept card or cash. They accept your order and give you a number. The ambiance is more about trying different foods as they are surrounded by many food trucks. I would not go to this place again.
My trustworthy friend came over with some tacos which is how I got to try these folks. THE FOOD TRUCK: Located in the unofficial "Plate Lunch Marketplace" across from Costco Kahului, they're one of the tiniest trucks in the lot. Covered outdoor seating is available and parking is plentiful. FOOD: Carne Asada Taco They sell a 3 taco combo for $5 - what a deal! Said friend bought three different proteins and I ended up with the meat taco, the one I would've chosen as I'm not a fan of fish and chicken tacos. Like in the traditional way, these were soft shell tacos. But unfortunately for me were made with corn tortillas rather than my favorite, flour. I just don't care for the taste of corn tortillas, but their variety wasn't too bad. Nicely toasted, they were sparsely filled with a few bits of well-seasoned and tender meat, some cheese, a speck of sour cream (add $1) and oddly spinach rather than lettuce. It came with some kind of dipping sauce but none was needed as they had really good flavor. Not bad at all for $2 per taco. OVERALL: Very fresh tacos, great pricing.
I had two orders of their 3 tacos for $5. One beef and one carnitas. Both delicious for the money. Carnitas were the favorite in my group. A little strange for lettuce to be in my street tacos but the tacos were so good and fresh. I'll be back!
Visiting Maui with my wife and kids from LA, home of the street foods, lunch trucks, Mexican and fusion food. Was missing a piece of home and decided to look up taco stand in the hopes that I found one in Maui and I can say that I found the perfect place. 8 WONDER TACOS!!! Was fire! Had their shrimp and beef burrito, wifey had the birria burrito and my boys had the chicken quesadillas, no one was disappointed. Highly recommend this place! Friendly and great service and best of all the prices were amazing
We came off the airplane from LA starving and Tacos Maui 8 Wonder was the first stop!! The garlic shrimps were so perfectly cooked, they had that nice pop in your bites and just enough garlic sauce and bits to make the rice below them taste incredible, I would of loved more garlic/sauce on the side, because I'm a total sucker for garlic. But I would come back to this little shack for another round of shrimps in a heartbeat! And the crispy chicken quesadilla was delicious as well!
So a new year has come upon us, and I am back at the Food Truck area just across the street from the Costco in Kahului. I had the feeling for some Mexican this past Friday, and remembered a little small shack at the food truck area called - Tacos Maui 8 Wonder. What drew me here was the last time when I was eating here, I saw this business and was intrigued by the sign that said - "3 Tacos for $5.00 Bucks!" I made a mental note that the next time I come to the food truck area, I would give this business a try, and I'm so glad I came here! Upon walking up to the little shack I was greeted right away, and upon looking at the "3 for $5.00 taco deal", I realized you could get an array of meats in your tacos. You had a choice of the following meats - 1. Carne Asada 2. BBQ Pork 3. Chicken 4. Salmon 5. Vegan I opted for the chicken tacos, and if you want cheese & sour cream in your taco, there is an extra $1.00 charge. If you want guacamole, there is an extra charge of $1.00. I added some cheese in my tacos, and also got bottled water, but when I went to pay for my tacos & water, I was just charged $6.00. Dealages Yo! The Verdict - The tacos were OUTSTANDING!!!! You get 3 "street style" tacos in a soft shell, and some hot sauce. If you wanted a different hot sauce, at the ordering counter there was other varieties of hot sauce, and some beans which you can add to your tacos. The soft street tacos had a generous portion of meats, and the lettuce was chopped, not shredded. I enjoyed the tacos, and would gladly come back here to eat them again. If you're ever looking for a great deal on some ono tacos, you may consider checking out the - Maui Tacos 8 Wonder in the food truck area in Kahului!

These tacos are a great deal! 3Tacos for $5 can't be beat. We got the carnitas, chicken, beef, and fish tacos. The Carnitas were by far the best of the bunch, they had a great Smokey flavor to them. The fish tacos were the second best, followed by the beef and chicken. They didn't have as much flavor as the Carnitas tacos though. Next time I'll have to try the Vegan tacos! read more

Stopped by because of all the great reviews and close proximity to the airport. We just came off of an early morning flight and needed some major sustenance. We pulled in and the lot was packed with cars. It's a group of different food trucks here but I eventually found this one. I decide to go for their fajita shrimp tacos it comes with a two per order. They don't really offer a salsa bar. They offer beans and pico de gallo at the front. I was excited to get my tacos but when it came I was really disappointed. My tacos were swimming in a pool of oil or butter. I had to put them on a napkin to drain before eating. It was just too heavy for me. The spinach was a nice touch it helped make the greasy tacos feel a little lighter. The shrimp were small. I would have chosen to drive a little further out into town to get food had I known better. It wasn't worth it. read more
We had tacos at this vendor at the Third Friday Festival in Makawao on Maui. Prices were very reasonable. We had a platter with a fish, chicken and meat taco. There were many choices of spicy sauce and other add-ons to enhance the taste of your taco. Drinks...soft drinks and water were only $1. read more
My go to spot when we land in Maui is Da Kitchen. Today I wanted to try something new, maybe a little quicker but still near Costco. Tacos Maui 8 Wonder looked perfect and it's literally right across from Costco. Turns out it's located in a little food truck cluster. It the tiniest little trailer. The 3 tacos for $5 is all I really needed but I'm on vacation so of course I couldn't resist the shrimp burrito. It was very good, loved the crisp grilled tortilla. They apparently grill it with the cheese first then add the ingredients? The cheese was so hot and melted, like a quesadilla but wrapped like a burrito. Bottom line: very good service with Aloha, great price for the large portion, really good shrimp burrito. read more

Tried this little taco stand yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I got the three taco special. For $5 it's a nice small sized lunch that won't overwhelm you. The BBQ pork one had a nice unique flavor. Try the salsa which isn't very spicy, and the beans to add more substance. I was a little leery about those countertop items, but had them anyway and I'm happy to report no negative results. Hubby had the wonder burrito which was also yummy but rather salty. Nice owner who will bring your order out to you! Going to try the shrimp fajitas next time! read more
