Sadness. One of the worst asada tacos I've ever had. Seems like some unmarinated steak was sautéed in a pan then tossed with onions then thrown onto a tortilla. The beans were cold and bland. The only saving grace was the al pastor and mediocre rice. I mean, who really goes to a taco truck to get great rice? But for 11 bucks for a taco plate, I'm expecting good tacos. Forget the sides. Digging through my sorry beans I encountered either a piece of plastic or possibly a sliver of a green onion? Check out the pics. Later that night we ran into Ono tacos. Check out that review and then run over there. read more

THIS PLACE SUCKED SOOOOO BAD. MEAT WAS NOT SEASONED OR EVEN COOKED THOROUGHLY. WHO DOESNT EVEN USE SALT AND PEPPER FOR THEIR MEAT?! Would never recommend this to anyone who knows what authentic Mexican cuisine should taste like or anyone breathing. Maybe you have to be drunk to give a decent review. Buzzed as I am, I couldn't be more disappointed. Out of all the biggest tourist scams. This is by far the biggest scam. read more

El Taco Borracho - Terrible non seasoned carne asada taco that cost $14 - Food Trucks Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

If you want a mexican fix, I would highly recommend this truck! The al pastor and carnitas tacos were super yummy!! We got a plate of each, and they were filling and yumm read more

I am not happy that we ordered at 800 and were told it was a 15 minute wait and then didn't get our food till 45 minutes later. The other food trucks were honest about their wait time but these guys were not. Clearly it was not 15 minutes. I could have went somewhere else. We literally just ordered tacos and elote. The food was good but not worth the wait. read more

Delicious camarones! Much better than you'd expect from a food truck! Bueno!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...so this food truck was a little special to us because it sold authentic Mexican street tacos! The owner was super cool and we tried various tacos including the fish taco, taco de asada, pork belly taco and chicken taco. It was all really good and he even carried Mexican Coke in the bottle! read more

El Taco Borracho - Food Trucks Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

The food is mediocre. Had their carne asada and shredded chicken taco and carne asada burrito. Tacos were dry, meet had no taste, not seasoned at all. Just a pinch of salt would make a huge difference. Also things like mild salsa or lime (which they did not have) would solve some the moisture problem. Burrito was boring. Same thing - seasoning. The only ingredient you can distinguish is butter lettuce and it's not quite what you want in burrito. 10 dollars for 2 small tasteless tacos and 11 for dry burrito? Mmm... its a bit pricey for the taste you get. read more

Delicious tacos and the only place with late night eats at 1:30am in the Lahaina area as everything else here closes early. Tacos were a little in the pricier side $3.75 per shrimp taco and I believe the fish tacos were $4 each, but boy they were pretty good! Not to mention spicy so I suggest getting a coke or beverage to wash it all down! Yay for drunk tacos! read more

I'm only giving this place 1 star because I have to. This food is not good. The carne asada tacos have no flavor, I mean none!! The quesadilla is bland and overpriced. The beans have no flavor. The rice is way too salty. Inconsistent and not worth the money at all! read more

BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN MAUI. I have been convinced for over 10 years that there was no good Mexican food on the entire island and el taco Borracho changed my mind. I got the taco plate, it came with 3 street tacos (I chose chicken, carne asada, and carnitas for the meat), beans, and rice for $15. AMAZING food and an unbeatable price. We'll be back soon! read more

Bomb.com If you need a late night meal, Raul hooks it up late night. Authentic stuff for sure read more

This was terrible Mexican food. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but do not order their tortas! Plain disgusting seriously

We went to the food trucks located by the Honua Kai resort after a long day on the road to Hana. We decided on El Taco Borracho. I got the enchiladas my husband got tacos. He said his were super good!! I liked the enchiladas, but there was way too much lime taking over the flavor. Rice was really good! I would try it again in the future. read more

Huaraches plentiful and mostly good. Corn cake tasteless and inedible. Expected a less dense masa.

Great tacos, just ate one, about to dive into to my second (yes, I'm yelping and eating, whatever). They've got a guy in a drunk taco costume out front. $3 per taco, $4 for fish tacos. Good stuff, lots if meat on the carne asada tacos. Kama aina discount: buy 5 tacos, get the 6th free. read more

I ordered a 3 carnitas taco plate with rice and beans. Do NOT order here! Extremely disappointed!!! Meat was absolutely flavorless. It tasted like they just boiled the meat with 0 seasonings. Tortillas dry with no meat juices. Even if there was juices to sop up, it would literally be boiled water! The beans were just boiled mashed up beans with no flavor. Spanish rice was just meh. Overall just Yuck! I should have just went to the Thai place next to it. read more

I wouldn't have left this place any stars but didn't leave me an option. The cook has terrible customer service. Put my order and they messed everything up. The tacos were dry. Terrible food and service. read more

Superb service. Very kind people. Camarones a la Diabla are unbelievable. Loved loved them!! Must visit!

Found this truck by accident while driving around Maui. The tacos were great and hit the spot. We hadn't planned on taking a road trip that day and didn't really know where to go for lunch so when we saw this truck it was like an oasis. Will definitely be back if we're in the area again. read more

Mediocre food for a high price. Got their chicken taco plate for $13. Came with a side of beans and rice but the tacos were so bland. Try the Thai food truck next to it if you are staying at the Kannapalli area. read more

This place is really bad their tacos don't taste anything like Mexican food and the spice of the pork belly is unbearable don't try this Tacos for nothing read more

On yelp this place had amazing reviews and someone that worked at the hotel I stayed at said that this place is amazing as that it has the fish tacos in Hawaii. I ordered a fish burrito (I can't eat chicken). My dad got the chicken burrito and my mom and brother got fish tacos. The order took over 30 minutes. Once we got the order, they couldn't tell us the chicken and fish burritos apart. Why not marked the burrito?. The guy guessed and he guessed wrong so we had to return the chicken one. The fish burrito was bear with two little pieces of fish and sauce. My brother doesn't like a pico de gallo and lettuce on his fish tacos and he asked but they still put it on. My moms fish taco was so chintzy. It had one small piece of fish and some stuff around it. It was 2 small tacos for $10 way overpriced and the burrito was way overpriced too. Big disappointment bad food, (terrible fish). Bad service can't remember a burrito and can't listen and WAY OVERPRICED. I would not recommend! read more

Terrible taste and very low quality food that gave me food poisoning! They have shaken my trust in food trucks in Maui.

We got the steak and pork belly tacos. The steak was good but the pork belly was okay. It was inexpensive so that was a plus. read more

The guy taking our order was nice and our food came out quickly however that's the highlight. We got the fish tacos and the chicken burrito. The fish tacos were good, they had plenty of flavor. The chicken burrito was horrible, everything in it was bland and mushy. The salsa that comes with it couldn't even rescue it. Hands down the worst Mexican food I've ever tasted. Taco Bell has these guys beat. read more

Excellent food. Walkable from Ka'anapali Beach Club. Very fast, and reasonably priced. My wife had never experienced REALLY good Mexican food before this, and now she is sold. read more

Went there twice while snorkeling the southwest coast, shrimp tacos and carne' Asad tacos both excellent !!

Thought it would be better because it's $20 for a plate of 3 tacos with a side of rice and beans. The beans taste like chicken stock. The rice is soggy, lacks any flavor. The asada is browned steak without any seasoning. read more

This was very underwhelming and not particularly flavorful. Had the chicken in corn based tort. Very little flavor. Had to add guacamole from home to make it acceptable. Shrimp was ok. Would not return. read more

I love this truck the huaraches are amaze balls! Also love the tacos! They are in the new food truck park across from Times Market in Honokowai. Do yourself a favor and try it you will love it! read more

This place was so bad. The chicken was dry and not seasoned. do not wait 45 minutes to get the worst fake mexican food truck.

Food just ok...our order was all wrong al pastor is not carnitas was supposed to be wet was not. But the worst part of it all was the fact I was charged twice. I told the cashier I need to pay with a different card and she swiped my card anyway and charged my other card. I asked if she charged both she not, but once I checked my card alert it was charged. She give me a refund after I got heated. Didn't even apologize! read more

Food was good but the service was terrible. I ordered a taco plate with 3 El pastor tacos which is supposed to come with rice and beans. After waking back to my hotel I realized I did not receive my beans. I did not even want the rice so I was just looking forward to the beans to have with my tacos. I walked back to the food truck to ask about the issue and the worker completely flipped out on me for no reason. I simply asked why I did not get beans; he told me they were out (fine). I told him I was not informed when I purchased or I would have just gotten the tacos. He persisted to tell me I was I informed as I ordered and I needed to walk away (I was not; even if I was he did not have to be rude). He then ask "what do you want, your money back?". In which I simply told him I wanted the issue with the beans resolved, and that I had already enjoyed the tacos. At this point he took the rice back and told me to get lost and that I was "ungrateful and I should be happy with my tacos since I decided to eat them". The entire experience was ridiculous as I was simply trying to get the issue with my $2 beans resolved. Idk if this guy was just an A-hole or if he was having a bad day, but there was absolutely no need for this guy to treat a customer the way he did. Guys like this make me think twice about tipping on take out because they did not deserve a dime. If you like awful service and supporting a rude establishment with good food, this is your place. read more

The best fish tacos EVER... Authentic Mexican taste. Try the torta with carne asada and chorizo. So delicious. Yummy . Cash only

So good! I'm glad I listened to the locals when I was told to fine this gem. Delicious

I got two chicken and one beef taco. The meat was overcooked and very tough and had absolutely no flavor at all. Toppings were ok - onions and cilantro but didn't help the flavor at all. Shells were also soggy. Extremely disappointing I couldn't even finish them and we had to find dinner elsewhere. read more

We stayed at a nearby hotel, walked to the food truck area, hoping for some good Mexican food. Very disappointed, I had the carne asada burrito, it completely lacked flavor, the sauce on the side had no flavor as well. My wife ordered the fish tacos, they fish seemed like it was frozen fish and lacked flavor as well. Neither of us could even finish our plates. read more
