    Stop here! The food trucks in Hawaii are where it's at, and this one is one of the best we had on Maui! Everything was fresh and delicious, and the staff was super nice.

    Baja Mahi Mahi Fish Taco and Baja Shrimp taco

    After a long day these tacos were much needed! The Mahi Mahi and shrimp tacos were so fresh and so delicious. The food truck was super convenient and accessible and not too busy. The girl taking our order was kind and the tacos were ready fast! They have seating outside the truck too if you are wanting to eat there! Very inviting environment!

    The smell tempts you over and the service is fast and friendly, with a salsa bar and a good menu to choose from. I plumped for: Fish taco - battered fish in a double corn tortilla oozing with salad and dressing. The fish was very gamey so strong flavoured, the batter a little dark, but the taco was mouthwateringly good. Crunchy, hot, cool, and fishy all at the same time. I wish they would offer a non battered fish taco, healthier and much nicer than deep fried. Shrimp taco - again battered, I would prefer non battered, but a great tasting taco bursting with flavour and juice and accompanied by pickled white onion pieces and limes. Salsa bar - I was given 2 tiny cups for the salsa and chose just one, the spicy smoky red salsa which was delicious There are plenty of drink options including Jarrito and coke bottles. I paid in cash, but they do an extra charge for credit cards. Free parking right opposite it at the west end of the Olowalu fruit stand, opposite end from Leoda's. Local construction workers often eat here, and I've seen them ordering quesadilla which aren't on the official menu.

    Birria Tacos

    One of the best tacos I've ever had!! We originally came here for the fish tacos, but decided to try the Birria tacos and surprisingly was better than the fish. It was so good that we had to come back a second time before we left Maui! I'm from LA known for their Mexican food and this is probably one of the best Birria tacos I've ever had.

    Best quesobirria tacos I have ever had!!! Couldn't even get a picture of my plate before digging in. We found this incredible spot on our way to our hotel from the airport and it was so good, we came back for lunch the following day. I talked with the sweet woman at the register only to find out she and her husband own the truck and he makes all the food! They are the kindest and I'm so happy to be supporting them. Will be going back as many times as possible before our trip is up!!!

    Beautiful view

    Stopped by here on my vacation to Maui. I had been out snorkeling with some people in my hostel and we stopped here afterwards. We ordered some quesabirria tacos as recommended by the amazing Vanessa! The place was busy, but she did a great job getting us situated in a timely manner. The food truck was in the middle of what seemed to be a gorgeous oasis in a place that you wouldn't expect. There was an incredible backdrop of some mountains behind their food truck! I'm from Los Angeles and these tacos definitely get the official LA seal of approval!!

    Another great spot! This place has super fresh seafood! I got a shrimp and a birria taco. Shrimp taco was great! Super fresh birria was alright, not my favorite but still decent! My partner got the mahi mahi and shrimp taco and he loved the mahi mahi! I think next time we go I'll get just the seafood as the seafood tacos were great! Service is good, they have a lot of salsas and I saw the worker bring out a plate when a family did not hear her! Mellow spot, of course there are chickens but there are chickens all around here. Just a Hawaii thing.

    The service was friendly and rather fast. The food was just mediocre and for the price, I'd rather it be amazing. If you are starving, check it out. Otherwise there are better taco places to check out. The one fun upside is that chickens and roosters will check you out and maybe try to have lunch with you.

    A fun little food truck.

    My wife and I were recently staying I Kapalua and mid week she had a craving for a very simple sandwich. We decided to head to Leoda's and, as we were nearing the parking lot, we noticed a small sign along the road with a arrow pointed toward "Fish Tacos El Blue" Recognizing the name from an earlier search on Reddit, I swung into the lot and decided to try the tacos. Well, we walked over to Leoda's first as a sammich bf or my wife was still in play. (And that's a separate review ) I walked back to El Blue and checked out the very simple , very straightforward menu. A burrito seemed far too heavy for the meal, and ceviche was quite piquing my interest, so ordered three fish tacos. Service was quite friendly and within moments of my sitting down at the picnic table I was being presented with three well sized Baja fish tacos. I took one bite and found the fare to be - well exactly what it was I suppose - a Baja fish taco. Not the best Baja fish taco. It the worst. Having had wonderful fish all week I was disappointed by the ratio of barter to fish in these - far too much batter. Far too little fish It was an easy, quick meal. Filling for the day. But boy, I was looking longingly at the sammich my wife carried over from Leoda's....

    We decided to grab some tacos here for lunch when we were exploring this little stop. I have fish tacos for almost every meal anytime I'm in Maui, so I've had a lot! These ones are pretty unique. They are fried, I do wish the batter was not quite as thick, but the flavor is good. They are topped with a crema and lots of pico de gallo. I also recommend topping them with their salsa verde! They have a little homemade salsa bar and it's worth trying it out! They also add a little escabeche to the side of the tacos, which I added to my tacos for a little heat. My husband loved their shrimp taco and my daughter absolutely loved the shredded pork burrito. It's definitely worth a try if you are in the area and craving Mexican good.

    Vegetarian special jack fruit tacos made vegan (removed aioli).

    One of the best tacos I have had in my life!! I'll start off with the place, it's a cute truck with covered table areas. Cute vibes, simple menu that's easy to read and great prices! The worker was so nice, and super knowledgeable about allergies and the ingredients in the food to make it vegan and gluten free! I got the vegetarian special taco, jackfruit, and made it vegan by removing aioli, the avocado sauce is vegan so we kept that. Also got a special mango habanero salsa. Tacos came with pickled carrots and onions that were spicy and amazing. The tacos were warm, fresh, flavorful, with a variety of savory and smoky and tangy and light flavors. I can't recommend them enough! The mango salsa was amazing too! I definitely recommend this place!

    The Ceviche, Fish Tacos and Shrimp Tacos were SOLID.
    David G.

    This place has everything you need for a seafood lunch on your way to or from the beach. The Ceviche, Fish Tacos and Shrimp Tacos were SOLID. Nothing fancy or unnecessary. The woman at the window taking our order was incredibly friendly. There are tables outside of the food truck if you want to relax and eat right away. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Maui.

    Fish Tacos El Blue is one of those rare finds that reminds you why food trucks can completely outshine oceanfront restaurants. This family-operated gem at Olowalu Village, perfectly located between the airport and the Kaʻanapali resorts, serves some of the most flavorful, satisfying food we had on the island. The fish tacos are outstanding -- fresh, perfectly cooked, and boldly seasoned without overpowering the quality of the seafood. Every bite tastes intentional and made with care. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality easily rivals (and honestly surpasses) many expensive beachfront spots nearby. What truly elevates El Blue is the heart behind it. You can feel the pride and warmth of a family business that genuinely cares about what they serve and the people they serve. No gimmicks, no inflated prices -- just incredible food and real aloha. Worth every penny. A must-stop on Maui. We would come back in a heartbeat.

    chocolate haupia pie ($11) - i dont usually like chocolate…read moreflavored dessert but i have to say this one changed my mind - it is one of my favorite dessert on this island AND i loved it so much this deserves a five star woooo - i really went in not expecting much from it but every bite was delectable from the cream on top to the chocolate and coconut layers - first, as a cream hater who usually scrapes off the cream, i actually ate and enjoyed it; it was light and fluffy not heavy at all - second, the chocolate layer wasnt too sweet and was super velvety smooth; it got enough chocolate content but not too much that it'd be too rich and dense - third, the coconut layer wasn't offensively strong but it actually balanced out the sweetness from the cream and chocolate; it was also a bit gelatinous which enhanced the texture of this dessert - lastly, the tart was crispy and crunchy; not too thick and it also added another layer to the texture, completing the whole dish rating: 5/5 - quick service and half self service; nothing much to note; the pies were already pre made so the server just gave it to us immediately - very casual dining spot; family friendly; ambiance is giving little cabin type restaurants you would find when you're on a road trip IG: @nom.noms.only

Restaurant opened promptly at 10am, guest slowly made their way in took us about 15min to place our order. Food: Apple Handheld Pie - size was about 3-4" long and 2" wide. Crust was okay somewhat flaky and fairly tender. Bake was a light golden color could have been baked a touch more. Apples were nice and chunky with sweet cinnamon sugar filling, good filling to crust ratio. Pie was covered in a confections sugar glaze which made it a bit sticky to eat, felt unnecessary for a handheld pie, overall okay. Service was quick order at the counter and staff packs your order, we grabbed our to go. Interior had about 15-20 tables l, self serve water and utensil station if you wanted to dine in. Overall seems like a convenient stop midway to Lahaina if you are looking for a sweet treat, wouldn't wait too long or go out of your way to visit but worth a try if you are in the area.

My husband and I had the carne asada arepa on our first visit, and today I tried the Pabellón Arepa with shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantains, and cheese. They also offer a house-made chimichurri that takes the flavor to another level. Let me just say--this place puts love into every dish they make. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and every visit was met with warm, friendly customer service. To finish our meal, my daughter and I shared the coconut and mango slushies, which are made with natural ingredients and were incredibly refreshing. As someone who is Hispanic and pretty picky when it comes to authentic Latin food, I can honestly say this exceeded my expectations. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. The restaurant also has a charming atmosphere with Venezuelan memorabilia that gives it a warm, welcoming vibe. If you're looking for high-quality Latin food made with care, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed! We will def be back at our next trip - didn't get to try the arepa with chicken, avocado and green salsa. Mahalo Miss Arepa!
