    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Extra mac please

    Bomb Bomb Bomb! Loved the buttery garlic shrimp plate and mac salad was amazing too! So good we hit this truck 3x in 5 days. We will definitely be back.

    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

    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.

    Thank you @grub wit mike

    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

    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 .

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Despite being tucked away in the corner of a hotel, Tante's gives real local Maui vibes. The food…read morehas homecooked warmth and friendly Auntie service. We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.

The food was great and so was the service. The prices were good and the portions were generous. I had shoyu chicken and my husband had ribs. Neither one of us were able to finish ours and we wanted to because it was delicious. The meat just fell off the bone. I did order a piece of cake to go. After getting back to our room I realized it was an ice cream cake so even as full as I was I tried to eat some cake before it all melted. The had the place decorated all up for Christmas. The lady that waited on us was super nice and kept our drinks filled. I love that attention.

We ordered the blackened ahi plate and the lobster and shrimp. The food took a while (about 10-15 minutes), but it was totally worth the wait. Everything was super tender and tasted really fresh. The ahi had a nice kick -- a bit spicy but in a good way. Ordering was easy, and they called my name loud and clear when it was ready. It was a nice touch that they ask if you want chopsticks or a fork. I had such a great experience that I came back in the evening and ordered a ribeye, and man, was that the best ribeye I've had in a while - the meat was super tender and filled with flavor. Their $26 ribeye tasted better than some $60+ steaks I've had at fancier restaurants and I didn't even have to dress up for it!

I counted 10 food trucks surrounding a common seating area of blue picnic tables, there are even more food trucks close by. I randomly picked Ono Teppanyaki. It looked fine and I could see they accept credit cards, not all places do. My choice was their NY Steak and it was cooked to perfection. It sat on some shredded cabbage and the container included a zucchini and onion mix and a scoop of white rice. Two tiny containers of sauce were included which was not enough, you can buy more (I didn't). We were all very pleased with our food truck fare.

We hit up Paia right before our flight back to LAX. It's not very far from the airport and I was bummed we hadn't been told to explore this area in addition to lounging out in Lahaina. There was a line formed even before the restaurant opened but things flowed pretty quickly. While waiting to order I'd pretty much convinced myself that I was going to be disappointed because the menu felt a bit basic. But boy was I wrong. The fish burgers are just absolutely exceptional. I got the snapper and my wife got the ahi. Both pieces of fish were cooked to perfection and were well sized. The bun was top notch and the coleslaw - a dish of which I am generally not a fan - was simply exceptional. At first I thought was a bit weird that they included cheese on the sandwich but that actually worked too! Go here for a no frills, reasonably priced, delicious AF meal if your travels take you into the area. Can't wait to go back on our next trip to Maui!
