If you're really wanting the good stuff..go here, missing authentic Mexican food in Hawaii. This truck has the goods! amazing service, our host Glendia (?) explained she was from Guatemala and taught us some helpful words and made a lot of effort to help us and converse so we got exactly what we wanted. Such a doll, we have to come back again before we fly out

This is worth the flight

I stumbled around Wailuku, spotted the food trucks from afar. On my flight, I was told to eat at the trucks instead of restaurants. I found a path beneath the bridge, and first read a menu for an insane ice cream and dessert truck; not what I want. I walked a bit further to discover JJ, read the menu and to my surprise, the jovial man serves Quesabirria! That's all I needed to know. I sat and waited while listening to the top 40 pop music playing at the next truck. A convenient, state of the art plastic and steel bench was comfortable enough to enjoy every cosume soaked bite of my 2 Quesabirria Tacos with a handful of chips. Birria is always the best thing on the menu. Eat more Birria to be Happy. Luckily, I was the only order that minute, got my food as fast as he could prepare it. Well done, JJ. Thank you. Worth the walk.

I really wanted to love this place, since it's close to home and easy to get to, in a small food truck park with plenty of shade-covered seating...and I definitely love Mexican food, the spicier the better. Hoping I caught them on an off day but I couldn't finish my order (quesabirria plate with rice and beans plus horchata). The tacos themselves were good, with a generous amount of stewed birria that was rich and tender with plenty of melty cheese, and the fried corn tortilla shells had a nice crunch. The filling seemed a bit bland to me, which the accompanying consommé (leftover stewing liquid, for dipping) didn't seem to enhance; some fresh chopped onions, cilantro, and serrano or jalapeño peppers would have been a huge improvement. The rice was good. My biggest issue was the beans, which were so salty that I barely ate any of them, a huge disappointment since I love beans. The horchata was just right, though. I will try them again next time I'm in the area.

Birria Tacos with beans and rice

Owner is a great positive gentleman! His Quesa Birria comes with two tacos and so far is my favorite spot for Birria tacos! Don't just take my word for it, try it, you won't regret it.

In the heart of Wailuku town across of Coffee Attic and Bale. new food truck area We ordered birria taco plate $18 rice and beans were so good and tacos were super yummy. Plenty of seating under a shaded area. Service was so quick and friendly! We will definitely be back!

This place is absolutely delicious!!! The service was excellent! I got the steak tacos and the steak was so tender, cooked just right! And the taco itself was very flavorful! You're missing out if you haven't come to place yet! authentic Mexican food. I cannot wait to come back!

Trying out the steak fajita burrito today, wife is getting enchiladas with birria and carnitas. Super friendly service in a quiet food truck lot.

This food is amazing! We were visiting Maui for the first time and happened upon JJ's. My son ordered the Birria quesadilla & it was to die for!! No joke best quesadilla we've ever had. We ended up ordering another quesadilla AND a burrito ! So good!!! Plus, JJ was a great! Quick, kind & humble. Loved meeting him . We will be stopping again before we head home & wherever we come back too

The kind and cheerful owner standing in front of the truck.

Easy five stars maybe even six! The food is not only authentic but also delicious! As someone of partial Mexican descent I completely approve! The owner is very kind and you can clearly taste the quality in the food!

The carnitas burrito was spectacular!!! Only warning would be is that they chop up jalapeños so it packs some heat.

The food was fantastic. The line was well worth the wait. The Birria tacos were the star of the meal. Al pastor was pretty Kick-Ass too.

This place was unexpectedly delicious. My family was there two summers ago, and on our last day we…read morewere arguing about where to eat and what everyone wanted. I found this place on line and when we drove over to it from our resort on Kaanapali, my husband pitched a fit because it was in a strip mall and he thought it was going to be terrible. We walked in and it was nicer than I thought it would be. He still wasn't convinced. We went back to the resort and went to one of the hotel restaurants on the beach, his idea of where we should be on our last night - despite the fact that we'd already had oceanfront dining at two other places and were ready to try something different. The rest of us didn't want to be there. My daughter got dress-coded for having a bathing suit top on at the beach (literally oceanfront, outdoors, and part of our resort). I get it, but it just added to the mood. The water they gave us tasted like it came out of a hose. The prices were dumb. We left. Everyone was mad at dad. And hangry. After going back to our room and looking at our options, we decided to go back to the first place (Sergio's) and just get takeout. I ordered a bunch of stuff, we picked it up and brought it back to our room. Everyone - even my husband - agreed the food was amazing and probably the best meal we'd had all week. Bonus that it didn't break the bank. Looking back in my camera roll, I actually did not take photos. Probably because I was mad. You should still go. The reason for my extremely late review is today I was talking to someone about to travel to that area and I told her she might want to look it up. They deserve the rave review.

Sergio's more like give me more of those (chips and salsa that is)…read more All in all this spot was pretty yummy, I had no complaints, I but nothing had that *wow* effect. The chips and salsa were yummy. Chips perfectly salted and the salsa was uniquely blended, not a ton of spice but pretty nice. I ordered the nachos, they were pretty standard. Enough meat and cheese. The chicken was very tender and flavorful and I liked the good amount of pico de gallo on there. Honestly wish I had tried a salad they sounded very scrumptious. The people I was with ordered the pork tacos and the kids taco plate, both looked good and were pretty standard. Service was pretty nice and attentive, ambiance was decent. All in all, wouldn't go out of my way to come back, wouldn't be opposed to it. :)

One of the best tacos I have had in my life!!…read more 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!

I have seen The Blue Taco Truck mentioned in several YouTube videos covering "places to eat" or 10…read moreBest Maui Food Trucks kind of vids. I have wanted to stop many times but the timing just was not right until today. Located in Oluwalu, about .2 miles past Leodas, Blue Taco sits well back from the road and may be difficult to spot, particularly if you are not familiar with the area. There are several outdoor tables acailable for your dining pleasure. My lunch was quite limited, 1 shrimp taco and 1 mahi-mahi fish taco. Both were served in a lightly fried corn tortilla, with freshly made pico de gallo salsa, excellent. Two tacos were just fine, I can put too much food away but have learned to be a bit more judicious. The shrimp taco was outstanding, great flavor, 5 out of 5 stars. The fried mahi-mahi just did not match my standards. I felt it had been overcooked a bit, as well as the frying oil having that "worn-out" taste, leading to a 3 out of 5 rating. I sampled three of their homemade salsas, all were great. Service was very friendly and quick, 5 of 5 stars here. Prices are good for what you expect on Maui. My overall rating would be 4.5 stars but the Yelp powers have not learned decimals!

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

PABELLON AREPA is a must. For $14 the PORTION:QUALITY:PRICE ratio is amazing…read more SERVICE is the best I have seen on the island. I know poke is usually a must when in Hawaii but this spot needs to be on your list! Very versatile accommodating with quick service. So AUTHENTIC I wish they had one in LA! Probably be back tomorrow to try another meat option because they just have so many.
