    Hockey!!!
    Jacqueline H.

    More than 12 years in, and Amigo's in Kihei is still one of my favourite hang-outs. We really look forward to returning to Maui & hitting Amigo's. Specifically the Kihei location, not the Kahului branch which was not nearly as good both in terms of food, service and ambience. As a white northern Canadian, I'm not a Mexican food connoisseur by any means, but I am a good cook and a foodie. I've eaten bad greasy Tex-Mex, I've eaten award-winning legit Mexican. Amigo's is a nice balance of the two. There are many servers here who have worked here for years, which says something IMO. As a mid-40s woman, I have great appreciation for highly experienced, no BS, to the point service. No sucking up or flaunting tits for tips. Even if one of these old birds misgenders my very obviously male companion due to his long hair (so uncommon on Maui /s), I like the style of no-nonsense service here. Love their homemade salsa. Stoked you can buy it and bring it home! So tasty. Chips & salsa refilled for free if you buy a drink, otherwise $2. Oh noes, better take out a loan!! Lengua... oh yes. Not as common as it should be in Mexican places, but always served here and always delicious. So many people we've brought to try it here and they are astonished at how tender and tasty it is. I unabashedly love Amigo's in Kihei and have never had a bad meal. Great deal for breakfast. I would agree that the margarita quality has suffered in recent years and is a better deal elsewhere. The pre-shredded Costco cheese is no surprise, this has been my standard experience elsewhere. But not once have I felt sick, disgusting or greased out by their food, which is usually the case for Tex-Mex. The refried beans and rice are actually edible here. Have noticed many Mexican workers eating here over the years, including today where a fella in a safety vest picked up a big flat of food for his workmates. Where I come from, if first gen people are eating at a restaurant from their ethnicity, it's a good sign. Don't change Amigo's! There's a reason you've survived COVID and Trump so far!

    Complimentary Chips and Salsa
    Irma K.

    Happy Hour here is a must try! They have a good variety of drinks and appetizer specials to choose from. They gave complimentary chips and salsa that was muy bueno. We had the $3.99 tacos that was delicioso! Also ordered a side of enchilada (not on Happy Hour Menu) that was tasty. Everything was great and authentic. The margarita was perfect with our Appetizer Specials. Service was also Happy and friendly. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the place was comfortable with nice music playing indoors. You can choose to eat outside as well. Would definitely come back here again if in Kihei during Happy Hour or looking for some good Mexican food!

    Steak & Eggs
    Ashley J.

    Really wanted steak and eggs for breakfast, But was disappointed by the amount in size of the food for the cost we paid. On top of the amount, the taste was not it either. Don't eat breakfast here. We also got burritos for lunch because they had a special "all burritos $12.99" the day we went. The burritos were big and tasted good. Get the burritos.

    Chips and salsa
    Christian N.

    I oddly got the BEST homemade salsa of my ENTIRE LIFE in Hawaii (on Maui). There's a local Hawaii restaurant in Kihei called, Amigo's, which I assume is a transplanted Mexican family restaurant (yes, with an inappropriate apostrophe '). There was zero trace of watery-ness. The heat was perfect (medium to light). It was thick. The homemade chips were crisp, thick and salted perfectly. It wasn't pineapple salsa, which I do also like. I can't believe I went there and got Mexican food..., and that it was the best Mexican food I've ever had. I had enchiladas and my son had the chimichangas. Both excellent!

    We stopped here today for a quick. Lunch! It was around 1:30 and we were close by and saw that they were open and not that busy! Yay so let's go here. We walked in and we were greeted by the hostess she was friendly, so she took us inside to a table. Got out menus and she asked if we wanted chips and salsa we said yes! I think the first batch that they serve us complentary. We looked over the menu and new what we wanted. We got an order of the Quesbirria and another order of chicken tacos! Ohh and we ordered a strawberry margarita and of course a bud light! The food came out pretty quickly along with our drinks! The food tasted pretty darn good. The quesabirria which came with consume for dipping. Also the chicken tacos was a very generous serving of everything. The waitress was friendly she seemed shy but she was attentive. At the end of our meal we were waiting for our check but she brought out the dessert menu. Everything looked good but we were to filled from lunch! Come here for some mexican food! You can dine inside or outside! This time the outside they're was no chickens to be found! IYKYK!!

    3 tacos a la carte

    We came here because Da Kitchen Maui had a long wait. We were hungry and Mexican sounded good. The service was good. Our server was sweet. Coming from California, the food was okay at best. The carnitas is decent though. I like that you can order your tacos crunchy or soft with any meat. We ordered: Grilled mahi mahi taco - Not bad. Al pastor crunchy taco - pretty good. Carnitas crunchy taco - off da hook (per our server). She's not lying. Carne Asada burrito plate - meh. It was ground beef not steak. Not sure if this was a mistake because there was also ground beef in the menu. Two crunchy taco plate with chicken and shredded beef - okay Two Enchiladas plate with cheese and ground beef - okay The restaurant was clean. Lots of seating, possible to fit a large party.

    Cold burrito that I ordered 5 min ago
    Timothy J.

    Just ordered Cali burrito. The sweet lady said 10 min to make. Ok im cool with it, 2 min later she hands me the burrito. I took a 2 minutes drive to the condo, took 2 bites ( first one was somewhat warm and then I had to double check on the second, nope, I threw it away. They maybe re-using old burritos so check your food before you do take out people. The sweet lady said I can get another one tomorrow.

    Although it's not my favorite spot for Mexican food in general, they have really good breakfast specials which, if I remember correctly, are available until 11am at very reasonable prices, but many breakfast items are available all day. Love the biscuits and gravy! My main reason for coming back is the happy hour ceviche. I've paid twice the price at other places that weren't as generous with the avocado or shrimp. Chips and salsa are included as long as you are ordering something which is becoming a rare thing these days. There are a few TVs if sitting at the bar, you can watch live sports. Very casual diner, usually has music playing. Option to sit outside if you like. Happy hour is 3-6 and kama'aina all day!

    Mahaca and eggs, beans rice and tortillas.
    Lawrence S.

    This is my first time trying this location out. My usual breakfast spot is at the beginning of Kihei. But I wanted to try someplace new. I was going to go to another place in the same mall but they were not open yet. We ended up eating here because we have never tried out this location. They have a decent breakfast selection as far as the menu goes and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the Mahaca with eggs , beans and rice. It also came with 3 tortillas. It was a nice change from the typical breakfast fare you get on the island. It was good and the portions were good size. For those wondering what Mahaca is. It is shredded beef almost like a roast then it's mixed in with eggs and onions and cooked up and the Spanish rice and beans were great. My girlfriend had The steak and eggs with potatoes and toast. The steak was done perfectly and had a very good taste, eggs were cooked well and the potatoes were very good. They had bell peppers and onions mixed in with the potatoes. Only thing was they only gave her one jelly for four pieces of toast. The service was ok. Food came out pretty quickly. I would definitely try them out again. The place was actually very nicely decorated for a strip mall location. So it is nice that someone puts some thought into it.

    The food tastes clean, safe, as though someone is mindful of sourcing and preparation. The thing…read moreis, it's not consistent. I'll still support the place, but to really love supporting them even more, I have some friendly recommendations. I love the char on the meat, the salsas are great and were given to me cold (great sign! As unbelievable as it may seem, this simple step is missed in a lot of places!), the beans and rice with the sasoun like abuela used to make- chef's kiss! and even better than Ono tacos in Kahului in my opinion, and their beans and rice are pretty fly). The pollo and asada, one day has more flavor than the next. Some days, no salt at all. So if you bring a guest, just pack some limes and salt just in case, so they'll believe you when you say this place is awesome. Problem solved. Additionally, the comment about the fatty inedible bits of steak- yes, I have experienced it also, that is an anomaly that the chef should be able to catch. That's not ok and will turn a lot of people off from the food, please quality control or let the butcher know so you guys are getting value. Sometimes I know those fatty cartridge chunks can contribute to flavor because of the oils, but that can be done in a separate process and removed before plating with that primo asada. First visit I loved the carne asada tacos. Quality is very hard to find here on Maui, and once you find it, consistency even harder, but I really like this place so I'm coming back and bringing more folks. The marinade and seasoning was on point that first time. The second time, the beans and rice had wayyy more flavor than the chicken and the steak, just being real. I look forward to trying more. I bring guests here and they say the same things. I'm a huge fan of Mexican food, and I know food can be hard work, just iron out your processes so they're firme every time, make sure everyone working follows the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and people will remember it for sure, the potential for even more greatness is definitely there, no one else is making tacos like this! just needs attention to detail. Also.. not to end on a bad note, but I've gotta say it- you -always- should provide or offer silverware to customers, and napkins. That's only proper form. The service and kindness of the young man taking orders is impeccable, he is kind and personable to people and you can tell he was raised with respect , has dignity and kindness for others. Well done! This is rare also and people notice. What a good bruddah! Thank you so much for your hard work and efforts. I live with constant pain. I don't always wanna cook, shop, marinate, and all the steps it takes to make an epic meal, unless I'm cooking for a lot of people I love. I can tell you're spreading the love with your food, I hope my honesty isn't harsh, I really want everyone to eat well and I want businesses to do amazingly. Gracias!

Prices and portions - 5 stars: considering the outrages prices I've seen at the supermarkets, this place has very decent prices for their food. Their portions are enough to fill you you for sure. 2. Flavor - 5 stars: tried the steak, shredded beef and shredded chicken bowls. The seasoning was perfect, not salty just perfect. The beans and rice so delicious. The chimichurri was one of the best I've had. The fried yucca was fried to perfection 3. Facility and location - 5 stars: very clean, very presentable. Even though its a whole in the wall, the place is very nice. Staff is very friendly Only one complaint. They use foil when they serve the food in the bowls. Not a big fan. Foil isn't healthy. I get they are trying to avoid the juice of the meat to filter through the container, but there has to be a better way. Hope management or owner reads this. Would I come back again? is the big question.....absolutely yes! Give them a try, i hope that you are satisfied the same way I was Good job you guys! Keep it up
