Cash only Geste Shrimp Truck is a shrimp truck located in the Kaluhui area of Maui. It's in a food truck park near the airport making it a convenient stop after you land or before you leave. We ordered the hot and spicy ($20), Hawaiian scampi ($20), and spicy pineapple ($20) shrimp plates. I liked the spice of the hot and spicy, but I preferred the flavor of the Hawaiian scampi. However, I think you can ask for more hot sauce on the side. The shrimps came with the skin on so you'll have to peel them. They're not deep fried if that's what you prefer.
We stopped here after leaving the airport and before hitting up Costco. Geste Shrimp Truck is located at a food cart pod with lots of great options. Few things- there is no alcohol served at any of these food carts and the bathrooms were porta potties. The parking is limited, but we got a spot. Geste Shrimp Truck only takes cash or Venmo- no credit cards. I ordered the spicy pineapple shrimp and it was SO flavorful and fantastic. My husband got the Hawaiian Scampi (garlic shrimp) which also had fabulous flavors. We both enjoyed the crab Mac and the portions were generous. This place is totally worth checking out. Overall rating would be 4.5.
Came back, still cash only. One of the better garlic shrimp trucks. They even have a smaller portion now too. We got their Hawaiian scampi plate, comes with 12 pieces of shrimp, about $20. And then I got a spicy shrimp bowl, comes with 8 shrimp, about $14. The spicy was decent, it's really the garlic one you want. Food truck food court type of thing. Order, find a bench, eat, and be on your way.
Stopped by Geste Shrimp Truck near the airport, and ordered the combo plate with Hawaiian Scampi shrimp. The combo came with 8 shrimp, rice, mac salad, and a jumbo hot dog. The wait was around 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. There is outdoor seating available, making it a nice casual spot to enjoy your food. The jumbo hot dog was good, and the shrimp was also tasty. However, the highlight for me was definitely the mac salad--it was honestly the best mac salad I've ever had! Overall, everything was good, and the combo plate was a great option if you want to try a little bit of everything.
Food is amazing and fresh! Customer service is friendly. Shrimp scampi = 10/10 Spicy shrimp = 10/10 Cash only!!
hawaiian scampi shrimp plate ($18) - all plates come with 12 pieces of shrimp and theyre pretty jumbo and snappy too! I do think it can be even more jumbo and snappy but it's already satisfactory - i didn't taste much garlic and id personally prefer more but i like how it wasn't too oily - i liked it but nothing really stood out; it's a pretty basic and plain shrimp dish served with rice rating: 3.8/5 - it is pretty solid but could definitely be better; the garlic shrimp i had in honolulu was better and hit the spot immediately - quick service; didnt have much of a wait - has plenty of cute benches and shade to dine - ambiance is cute and like a campground IG: @nom.noms.only
Located in a food truck lot, they specialize in tasty shrimp where you can have it many ways! The garlic shrimp version is the best, it is so tasty and savory I love it! Definitely fixed my hawai'i garlic shrimp craving!
09.01.2026 @11:30am Cash only. It was garlicky flavorful. There are other food trucks stand with public sitting in the center.
This is the famous Geste Shrimp Truck. It was good. We took it to the kiteboarding beach down the street to eat it. We tried the Spicy Pineapple Shrimp (4/5), Lemon Pepper Shrimp (3.75/5) and the Shrimp Scampi (4/5). The plates come with rice and crab mac salad (4/5). Overall good experience. If you are craving a bite of shrimp , I would recommend it.
This review is from my husband because I don't like seafood. I did try the shrimp and it was honestly the only shrimp I really liked. That garlic flavor was insanely good. Especially because you can mix it with the rice and gives it even more flavor. There was no line when we got there for lunch during the week. Honestly it was better than we expected it to even be. Easy parking
I love a good shrimp truck and this one did not disappoint! Hands down the spicy pineapple is my favorite, I love anything sour/spicy and this had a hint of sweetness too. My friends loved the hawaiian scampi as well, it had a more buttery flavor so definitely try it out if you're into that! Big flavor from both and their mac salad is great too. It's within a food truck park so lots of other food options/drinks/desserts too!
We stopped by Geste Shrimp Truck in Maui and ordered the combo plate with the Hawaiian scampi shrimp. The shrimp were flavorful and cooked well, but the standout for me was actually the crab mac salad--it was absolutely delicious! Creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor, it easily stole the show on the plate. If you visit, don't skip it. Overall, a great meal from a popular local spot, and I'd definitely come back for that crab mac salad again.
All I can say is AMAZING! We ordered the Hawaiian shrimp plate, the pineapple shrimp plate, and fries. Both shrimp plates were incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious. The fries were also a standout, reminding us of a Hawaiian version of In-N-Out's Animal Style fries. If you haven't tried this place yet, it's definitely worth checking out! FYI: Cash Only.

Ambiance - food truck vibes, outdoor bench seating Service - order at the food truck & expect a 10-15 min wait Food - shrimp was super fresh & Hawaiian flavor is a must get! read more
Got the shrimp scampi and it was really flavorful and had a lot of garlic in it. The crab mac was also one of the best Mac's that I've ever had since you can taste the flavor of the Mac. Down side was the service, it took about 20-30 min to get the food and the portion of the mac is smaller than expected. read more

Some of the best shrimp here! It's conveniently located right next to the airport so we came here for our last meal before leaving. It came out around 10 minutes of waiting. I got their Hawaiian scampi plate and it was soo good!! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and it was so flavorful. Love the mac salad too! Great balance of flavors! read more
We came here right at opening, and the person at the window was friendly and welcoming. We ordered the pineapple shrimp plate, and it was ready in about 10 minutes, just as mentioned. The food was absolutely amazing. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the pineapple sauce had a great balance of sweet and spicy flavors. The portion size was generous as well. I personally didn't enjoy the crab slaw as much, but my husband really liked it. Overall, we'd definitely recommend this place. read more
10/10 time and time again! Only down side is that they only take cash.... Typically I order the shrimp scampi - this time I opted to ask the cashier what her favorite flavor was and she said it was the pineapple, flavored shrimp. Man oh man! It did not disappoint and it's definitely my new favorite. read more

After watching an IG feed of a guy I just adore, it was time to come check out the best shrimp he has ever had. Cash only and wait is a good 15-20 minutes for a dozen #30-35 shrimp that were overcooked and lacking in spiciness with a few pieces of canned pineapple. Yes, there are two big scoops of rice and Mac salad with the fake crab meat in it. Price is okay for what you get and I like the sweetness of the sauce but very little heat. Love the seating which are painted picnic tables under a sturdy cover which helps to protect from the sun. Not sure if come back again. Compared to Oahu shrimp trucks, they are better for me but you always judge for yourself please. Mahalo read more
Love this food truck by the airport! They specialize in shrimp plates. We got the spicy pineapple and it was so good! I like a little extra a hit so they were able to make it extra spicy. Just a heads up the tails and skin are on. If u like no skin you'll have to peel but it's edible. Seating area is nice outside under a tent with shared seating for other food trucks. They also only do cash or venmo. read more
A great meal to start a trip to Maui with as it's really close to the airport. The shrimp had a delicious sweetness to it from the pineapples and the sauce. I wouldn't say it was spicy, but it had good flavor. It's surrounded by other food trucks so you can try more than one place. We did eat outdoor on some benches and the wind was really picking up at the time. We had to really make sure our plate didn't fly away read more
I wished that I would've tried this place at the beginning of my trip because then I would be stoping by every time I pass through Kahalui. Instead, I decided to try it out on my last day right before going back to the airport. I got the hot and spicy shrimp and it was DANK!! It wasn't spicy at all, but then my spice tolerance is pretty high. Shrimp was packed with flavors. Definitely one of the places that I will return once I'm back in Maui! read more

Got to stop by the food truck park during my time in Maui. So many different options for you to try. I went with the hot and spicy shrimp platter. There were plenty of other flavor options as well including garlic and pineapple shrimp. The portion size was great. I had some to enjoy and some to enjoy later! I wish my shrimp had a little more spice and flavoring, but overall it was a good dish to try. The service was good, of course it was a busier day so it took a little bit for our food to come, but the staff was very friendly. There are plenty of seating options under there covered tent in the center of all of the food trucks. The parking lot is a little tight, but there are parking options. Take note that their restroom options are Porta potty so keep that in mind before you come! read more

If you're flying in and you're hungry, be sure to stop by first before heading to your hotel-- you won't regret it! The truck is cash only-- so make sure you have some on hand!! You're gonna want to try everything! My son is 5 and won't stop asking for the shrimp scampi from here! We also got the hot and spicy and ooooou it was spicy haha. The Mac salad is also so good! This was one of my favorite places to eat in the island. I'd definitely come back during our next visit! The staff is really friendly and there's some picnic tables to share in a common area between all of the other food trucks. read more
Absolutely delicious!!! After seeing so many rave reviews about Geste on instagram, we stopped by after landing from our flight!! It was only 7 minutes from the OGG Kahului airport and was the perfect pick me up when you're starving after a flight. Something to note is that they are cash-only, but I saw they also accept Venmo via a QR code! All the 12 shrimp plates are $20 flat. Geste shrimp truck is located in a little food truck area with other vendors. The tables were clean and cutely decorated and there were sunshades overhead to keep us cool and away from the intense noon sunlight. Spicy Pineapple Shrimp 10/10: Such a great portion, two people shared the 12 shrimp plate and it left us both full. The shrimp was so flavorful and garlicky without being overly salty. It also wasn't too spicy (maybe a 3/10 spice level !). The pineapple added such a nice bite of tanginess and sweetness, we wish there was more of it! The mac salad was also so delicious, fresh, and creamy. I'd highly highly recommend Geste's and this cute food truck area if you're flying in/out of OGG!! read more

Omg YUM. I'm not typically a shrimp fanatic but we got some of the garlic shrimp and it was delicious! A bit pricey but definitely some of the freshest, sweet shrimp we've had with awesome flavors. Unfortunately they were out of the Mac salad by the time we arrived (around noon on a Saturday) but the shrimp was totally fine on its own. read more
Honestly maybe the best thing we ate in Maui. Came here for a quick lunch on a weekday afternoon, and ordered the pineapple shrimp plate to share. There was no line, and this truck is cash only but I would highly recommend! The shrimp had a lot of sauce on it and bits of pineapple (canned but still good). The sauce was a little spicy but not overwhelming. Also came with rice and mac salad, as typical plate lunches do. I almost wish I got my own plate haha. This will def be a place I go to again next time I am in Maui . read more

My family needed our first meal of the day in Maui after having the longest flight from SFO. Customer service was great, friendly staff. My bf ordered the spicy pineapple and I ordered the combo plate Hawaiian. My goodness the flavor was very rich and buttery with the sausage and garlic and the crab Mac salad. My son never eats shrimp and he loved the Hawaiian flavor. My bf demolished his plate he loved the flavor of the spiciness. The atmosphere was very nice and pretty with all the plants with all the food trucks. read more
Located at the food trucks across the street from Costco. * CASH ONLY* They have their own parking lot for food trucks which is nice. Was craving some butter garlic shrimp and Geste Shrimp truck came up as a rec on Yelp. Thought we'd give it a try. It turned out to be the perfect dinner after doing road to Hana. My husband and I shared one plate of the shrimp plate (Hawaii's scampi flavor) which is just butter and garlic. The plate is served with 12 pc of shrimp, two scoops of rice, and one scoop of crab Mac salad. The portion size is pretty large. It was a little salty but overall, still delicious. Sauce ks super garlicky and buttery. Everything you would want on the shrimp! If ever you're craving a shrimp plate - this is the place to go. Please be aware that you'll have to wait a little bit to get your food. It's made fresh to order but nothing too long. Maybe about 10-15 minutes. I did love that there was covered searing area between all the food trucks. It was like a little picnic area. read more

After 10+ years and here's my update. It's still the best garlic butter shrimp I've had, even after trying a few trucks in O'ahu! When I last went it's $13 a plate, now it's $20; but at least their quality is keeping up with the inflation. I love how they give so much sauce to eat with the rice. It's definitely not for the health-conscious folks but hey if you're on vacation, yolo. The shrimp was succulent and plump, and it's easy to shell. Everything was delicious! The lady said it would take 25 mins but my order came out in less than 15 mins. She's also friendly to answer my questions. And CASH ONLY. The truck is now in a food truck complex with other trucks around, and even a big tent with picnic tables, away from the sun and rain. Pretty open and comfortable, the only thing is the amount of flies that would come pester you. So if you have some sort of fly repellent, bring it wear it. always a great stop to go to right after landing at Kahului! read more
Stopped by this food truck right after landing in Maui. The shrimp was delicious thou I found it not too special. The rice was a bit so so for me. We tried to eat at the food truck park but there were too many flies. Overall a good snack. read more
If you like shrimp this food truck is for you! There are a variety of options for shrimps to be cooked. Service is friendly. Located across Costco in Kahului with other Food Trucks. There is a little wait and they only take Cash. Outdoor seating available or take to go. Lots of tables available to sit and eat. read more
They had me at garlic shrimp - YUM! There's plenty of parking in this food truck area- plenty of options so it's good for big groups/indecisive people. They charge $20 for a plate of shrimp (12), 2 scoops of rice, 1 scoop of crab mac salad. They have 5 different flavors of shrimp but the most popular is the hawaiian scampi which is garlic butter. This was SO flavorful, a little on the saltier side by itself but perfect with rice. I just wish the shrimp was peeled. My friends said the mac salad was too peppery but I didn't notice that. read more

This five-star review is long overdue!!! Geste Shrimp is one of THE best bites on the island and absolutely worth waiting for. Located at Plate Lunch Marketplace, this food truck is right by Costco. There's a shaded outdoor seating area with plenty of picnic tables. When we went, it was pretty windy, so hold on to your hats (and food LOL)!! Husband and I ordered a Hawaiian Scampi plate, which comes with 12 pieces of shrimp, rice, and crab mac salad. SO INSANELY YUMMY. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and bursting with garlicky buttery goodness, and the crab mac salad was SO savory and flavorful -- the BEST mac salad I've ever had. It was so good that we had it for lunch AND dinner that day :) read more
We landed at the airport and Geste was very close by. It's right in front of the Costco close to the Maui airport. We ordered the Hawaiian Scampi and Spicy Pineapple. My favorite was the spicy pineapple but both were very good and seasoned very well. There's a lot of food trucks close by but I'm glad I ate this. It was a very filling lunch because we were both so hungry. There's a lot of different food trucks in the same area which was very convenient to try different food options. read more
Geste's Shrimp Truck is a must-try in Maui. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The spicy pineapple shrimp was my favorite sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of heat. The Hawaiian scampi was also amazing, loaded with garlic and classic local flavor. Portions were generous, the rice soaked up all the sauce, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. Easily some of the best shrimp ive tried. read more

Ask the Community - Geste Shrimp Truck
Is the shrimp cooked with the shell or is it already peeled?
It's with the shell but the shell is split down the middle and very easy to peel!
Take out orders?
Yes, you can do take out orders. Call ahead and order at (808) 298-7109. Just be careful on the drive home as there is a lot of sauce and the smell might tempt you to eat it before you get to your destination. Enjoy. Aloha.
Is this walkable from airport?
I'd say no, especially if you have luggage. Grab a Lyft and you'll have time to enjoy your meal,
Does anyone know if they are open? (Sept 2020)
Yes, they’re open. Follow them on Instagram at @gesteshrimptruck for the latest.
Is there a place to sit and eat?
Not really. People bring chairs & towels or sit on the few logs. We ate in the car. Bring wet wipes for your fingers. Yummy but a little messy!
Anyone know if they're open today 11/21?
Aloha! You can always call them and ask Geste (uncle)

For the shrimp plates, am I able to get two different flavors for one order?
Yes just order two plates 🤣🤣🤣

Hi there! Are you guys open tomorrow on Christmas Day?
Sorry we're closed on Christmas day and new Years day.
