    3 stars seems the most fitting. Nothing special. Would probably tell someone to pass on this one. That being said, seeing the other ratings, this might be the best option here haha I got the carne asada tacos and again - pretty mid.

    This place is a must try if you're in the area and looking for something different for dinner. I'm especially picky when it comes to Mexican food and I would definitely go back if I was staying in Maui for a few more weeks. Burrito: I ordered the burrito with red sauce and it was amazeballs. It was so good that I was even willing to share so everyone in my family could give it a try. When I couldn't finish due to the size, my teenagers quickly gobbled it up. The flavors are plenty with the right amount of spice. Torta: This is a Mexican sandwich that my husband ordered. It was huge! He ate half for dinner. The next morning he warmed it up, added an egg to it, and enjoyed it for breakfast.

    I stopped by here this past Friday night with my wife for dinner. We were looking for a place to eat whenever my wife found the Hoopiilani Food Truck Park. After looking around for a bit, my wife and I decided to each pick a place and split the meal. I ultimately decided on having dinner from the El Taco Borracho food truck. Since it's a food truck, there's not much to say about it other than there were 2 guys working the inside and they had some fun music playing. For dinner on this evening I decided to order a Cameron Borracho as well an elote. It took about 10 minutes for my food to be ready and when it was, they called out my ticket number and I grabbed my food and sat at one of the picnic table. I began with the Mexican Street Corn which was fun as it came on a stick. The spice on it combined with the cotija cheese gave it a great flavor which I really enjoyed. After I had finished with that I started in on my entree. The shrimp in it were super sweet and cooked nicely. I especially enjoyed the garlic on them and whenever it was on the rice it tasted really nice. However, without it, it was quite plain tasting. The salad and crema or dressing on it was really good as well and I enjoyed eating them. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. I liked both my street corn and entree and would be interested in trying more things in the future.

    Fantastic Beef Tacos !!!

    I got an order of Beef Tacos and they were very delicious with plenty of meat and had a good amount of salt in them. You could taste the meat n tell it was seasoned along with not being too greasy. The meat was also juicy n tender and the other stuff in the order were all great like the meat filling. The corn tortillas were soft n not real greasy like some places. I am not too big on tacos like other Mexican foods such as chicken enchiladas which I love, but these were great stuff.

    Maybe the burritos with meat are better but for $16 I had a very mediocre non-meat burrito.

The wait for the food was 25mins. Worth the wait! My bf ordered the shredded pork moco to share. The fried rice had spam it in! Made it more futility. My son got the short stack (2) ube pancakes with ube sauce with coconut shreds on top. He loved his breakfast. Nothing tops ube pancakes! I got the waffles with macadamia sauce. It got a bit soggy after awhile with the sauce on top I think next time I'll get it on the side so I can enjoy the waffle being crispy and not soggy. We loved all the plates we ordered. The customer service with great, very friendly. 10/10 customer service and the food! The setting where the food trucks were pretty decent. They have a swing that's pretty cute if you're waiting for pick up. We will definitely come back to when we're back in Maui!

    808 Grindz sadly fell off our restaurant list after covid since they were only doing takeout orders…read moreand the quality of the food seemed to decline. Then there were the devastating Lahaina fires in 2023, so we thought they were lost to us forever. We were happy to hear they opened a food truck and decided to visit when we were in Maui last month (March 2026). They're back, baby, with the delicious food we remembered pre-covid. The truck is located on Keawe Street, next to the plaza with Ross & Foodland and the glass blowing shop. There's limited seating and the line got long quickly, just like when they had the storefront restaurant. Definitely worth the wait, though. We ordered the 808 Grindz bene, corned beef hash & eggs and a short stack of mac nut pancakes (with sauce oh yes please) to share. The crispy hash browns were a little too salty, but everything else was on point. I believe they take cash or venmo only and be prepared to wait. But it'll be worth it.

    We waited too long on our first night in Hawaii to decide where to eat. Hubby pulled up the Yelp…read moreapp, put in sushi and this food truck came up as still open at 7:30 pm. We decided to hit the road and find it. Lucky we did! It was open, there was no line. It had a great assortment of rolls and a good number of options for nigiri. We got 4-5 rolls and some nigiri and a poke bowl. It was all freshly made, perfectly rolled and came out at the time told to us, about 15 minutes. We ate it in the car- we didn't notice the ants in the table until after we sat down to wait for about 10 minutes. I followed them on instagram and they posted our order. So cool! We went back one more time during our trip.

    At least two of our uber drivers mentioned this place as a top sushi place on Maui, and I'm glad…read morethey recommended it! Smash Maui is an absolute vibe. We stopped by on a Monday night around 7:30 pm after doing the road to Hana. They had some Whitney Houston and Shakira bumpin, some cute garden lights, and three outdoor picnic tables for diners. We ordered and had to fill up on gas, so we picked up some drinks from the nearby gas station and got back to wait for the food. The server said it would take about 15 minutes, and I think that was pretty accurate. We ended up ordering the following: Salmon Nigiri - 3/5 this was a little bit more salty than I normally expect of my nigiri. Spicy California Roll - 5/5 tasted like a fresh California roll with some spicy mayo on it. It wasn't very spicy though? Mild enough for the non-spice lovers. Tempura Roll - 5/5 this was probably my favorite roll. It was simple yet delicious. You can't ever go wrong with unagi sauce. Smash Roll - 4/5 the smash roll was really good. It had a good, well-rounded taste with the tuna and salmon. This was my husband's favorite roll. If you're feeling like you need some good Asian-American sushi, check out Smash Maui! It's going to hit!

    Wow, only one word can describe this place…read more 5 stars all around 1. 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
