My friend and I woggled here after finishing the 2023 Maui Ocean Front half marathon and was looking for alcohol. Wait that was me.
We found the Amigo's Mexican restaurant and grill in the Wharf Cinema center, next door to the Pho Huong Nam Vietnamese restaurant we had dinner in the day before. It was perfect morning to sit down after a challenging morning filled with lack of good quality sleep and pushing my body to complete 13.1 miles in Lahaina, most of it on Highway 30. With that said, we woggled in and asked for a table but the NFL playoffs were on at the time, around 11:15am, so we decided to sit at the bar. Our experience here was at most an hour or so, but I got my alcohol (draft Stella) as a reward for completing another half marathon on Maui with this 43 year old body of mine. I also had the Mexican burger, which was pretty good. Quite nice when there's bacon involved in the burger. For the most part though, it was a chill experience that was definitely needed and was delicious at the same time. Indeed, the burger itself was good and was served with French fries. The prices here was up there especially when you're in the tourist town of Lahaina. But still, it was cool and the ambiance was as good as any sports bar, especially with the NFL playoffs being shown on there in restaurant televisions. I liked the Mexican burger and went down great with the beer. Definitely hit the spot after the half marathon that morning for sure.
The overall experience here at Amigo's Mexican restaurant in Lahaina Maui was great and definitely was nice, while keeping it casual. The restaurant seemed small, which probably boasted about 10-15 tables, along with the seating at the bar. It was cool to watch the game while enjoying my beer and post race meal. The location was nice, since I just had to walk a couple of blocks from where we parked the rental car in the free parking lot. The restaurant itself was nicely organized and clean. It was NFL Playoff Sunday, so the restaurant and the neighboring restaurants in the Wharf Cinema Center was buzzing with people watching their favorite teams. The service was nice and friendly, of course. I enjoyed the ambiance, although I wasn't sure if there was any centralized air conditioning here, let alone any WiFi connection for its patrons. I also enjoyed the beer, which was their Stella on tap for the day I was there. It was smooth and good, almost like a Kona Longboard beer, just a little bit lighter. And so, if you are on the west side of Maui and enjoy the bar scene, consider coming to the Amigo's Mexican restaurant and bar. It's tucked away in the Wharf Cinema center, but you'll be glad you did. They have a full bar and pretty much anything can be made to order. Definitely recommended during your stay on the west side of Maui.
Amigo's Mexican restaurant is located in the Wharf Cinema Center. You'd have to walk in a bit but it's near the Regency Theaters and next to the vietnamese restaurant Pho Huong Nam. It's address is 648 Front Street in beautiful Lahaina, Maui. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash. As far as parking goes, best bet would be to try to find parking in the free parking lot and walk on over. They are usually full up for most of the day, so you'd probably would need to get there early enough to get a space or pay in another adjacent parking lot. There's always residential street parking nearby if you are lucky. If you are like me, the Maui Bus travels to Lahaina town and makes a stop at the Wharf Cinema center. Choose the routes that are best for you. And so, if you are feeling mexican and/or love to drink while you are on Maui, consider coming here to Amigo's for a nice relaxing time. The Mexican burger was great, but I should have told them more jalepeno's especially when having a beer to chill things down.
4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the location. 4.0 stars for the service, but 3.0 stars for the prices. We are on Maui.
