This place was ok, nothing special but not bad. The service was fine and the food was decent. nothing spectacular but still pretty good. it's inside a shopping mall and there is plenty of parking.......

Chicken Quesadillas

We came to Amigo's to watch game 3 of the NBA finals, which was maybe our first mistake. Coming from the south where Mexican food is a staple, this place... just isn't it. The food was very different than your typical "Mexican" food. Given, we are in Maui and I shouldn't put that expectation on them. I think they have the concepts down but execution is way, way off. The seasoning they used just isn't it. Chips and salsa were the best part of our meal. Beers were barely cold, cheese dip was thick and had no flavor. Service was also incredibly slow and just wasn't what we expected. Maybe it was just an off day. Either way, 3/5 and that's being generous.

Chips and salsa

We've been in Maui for about four days now and were craving Mexican food. Being on Maui, I know authentic Mexican food can be hard to find. I'm Mexican and born and raised in California, so I definitely know what authentic tastes like. After doing some research, we decided to try Amigos. We walked up and were nicely greeted and seated right away. Our waitress came over quickly, took our drink order, and brought chips and salsa to the table. Drinks arrived shortly after, and she took our order promptly. She did warn us the food might take a little longer, but to our surprise, everything came out fairly quickly. We ordered: Tilapia plate with rice and beans Carne asada plate with rice and beans Cheeseburger and fries The tilapia was really good super flavorful. Honestly, I normally wouldn't order tilapia back home, but being on the island, I figured it would be fresh, and it was. The rice was really good. The beans were about a 5/10 for me, but I understand we're on the island and things are different than back home. Tortillas were also about a 5/10 so-so, but again, expected for being off the mainland. The carne asada wasn't authentic ranchera meat; it was more like a steak-cut piece. Still, the flavor was good. Same rating on the beans 5/10 but the rice was solid. Service was great across the board. The food was good overall not the most authentic, but flavorful and satisfying. The ambiance felt like a classic Mexican restaurant: Spanish music playing (not too loud, which I love because you can actually talk at the table), TVs on with a game playing, and people at the bar having a great time cheering on their team. Very lively and friendly atmosphere. They also have outdoor patio seating, which is a plus. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. Good service, good flavors, and a fun ambiance. I'd definitely come back and would recommend trying this place when you're in Maui. Thank you, Amigos!

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!

2/3 of my Flautas
Cheryl B.

I've finally found an authentic Mexican restaurant here in Kiehe! Salsa and chips are complimentary! I ordered a side of 3 Flautas (served with a scoop of guacamole and sour cream) and tasted just like my previous favorite in So Cal. Delicious!!! Service was exceptional! They had the World Cup on TV in the bar with many regulars I was told! Can't wait to go back and enjoy a ground beef taco!

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.

This place is not good.... no one came to our table. We waited outside and stepped in when bo one came out! Heavy girl was rude ...

This place is not good.... no one came to our table. We waited outside and stepped in when no one came out! Heavy girl was rude ... the guy was chill do not frequent this place... just as happy giving our money to McDonald's!!! Let's go!!! Disappointing especially for a Mexican restaurant...be better!

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!!

Salsa was excellent and so were the burritos. We had the California burrito and shredded chicken burrito. Will be back when in town again.

Good food. Good vibes. Love coming here. Happy hour is good. A well run family business that is a…read morebreath of fresh air when compared to the surplus of other Maui restaurants with sky high prices and totally mid food and service.

Amigo's is my go to if I want some yummy Mexican Food and they've been serving the Maui community…read morefor years. They have an all day Breakfast Menu and probably still the only Mexican restaurant that offers Complimentary Chips and Salsa which is a plus. They have a Kihei location near my home but this Kahului location is where I usually frequent after work and they offer great daily specials throughout the week. I usually will get myself a refreshing glass of Horchata. This Cinnamon Rice Drink goes perfect with any Mexican dish to relieve that spice. I will most likely stick to a top 5- Ala Carte Taco (if you visit on Mondays, Tacos are $3.95!), Chicken Tortilla Soup, Caldo De Res (not pictured- Mexican Beef Soup with Potatoes and Carrots), Chicken Quesadilla with sour cream and guacamole on the side and Chorizo Con Huevos (Mexican Pork Sausage with Eggs). I have friends that are Regulars here and they usually get their Birria Tacos or Burritos and they love it! Unfortunately I got Chorizo Con Huevos on this last meal and the Chorizo & Eggs was very over done. (I should've said something but I was hungry). But the plate does come with your choice of Flour or Corn Tortillas and the most fluffiest Rice and Creamy Beans. I rated a 4 because mostly everything else I've ordered has been great and the service is always good even when they're pretty busy. The chips and salsa satisfy and help the busy waiting period go faster and you can always ask for a salsa refill.
