Looking for a kid and family friendly Restaurant with Local and Filipino Cuisine? Look no further…read moreand head to Tante's Island Cuisine in the heart of Kahului at the Maui Seaside Hotel. Our Ohana and family friends have been eating here for years. They serve Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. If you're looking for a place to have a small gathering or celebration, they do catering and had a small party near our table (we were told to be quiet during a prayer for that party which we respectfully did). Our family of 7 ordered a variety of food. My nephew is Vegan and there was a Veggie Stir Fry he ordered with Tofu. My Brother in Law who is on the pickier side and likes it "simple" got Beef Teriyaki with Macaroni Salad. And my mom and niece love their Filipino food so mom ordered a Tamarind Soup with Shrimp and Vegetables called Sinigang and my niece ordered a Peanut Sauce dish called Kare Kare. My dad, sister and I stick to our favorites. He got his usual Baby Back Ribs (which I didn't get to picture), my sister got Sautéed Mahi Mahi with Lemon Caper Sauce and I got my usual Local Favorites Combo that had the most tender and savory Beef Teriyaki and crispy Mahi Mahi with Tartar Sauce on a bed of Cabbage. The Molokai Sweet Potato is a must when you get a side but this time, I did crave some greens so I opted for a side salad with Papaya Dressing. Your Meal isn't complete without Dessert! And Filipino Ice Dessert I might add...Halo Halo (which literally translates to "mix mix"). Being the true Fil-American that I am, I don't like to "Mix Mix" because I prefer my Ube Ice Cream in tact lol. I explained this to my Brother in Law from the Mainland who also said this is the first Purple anything he's ever eaten haha! But this is a refreshing ice dessert to end the meal since it has fresh cantaloupe, avocado, coconut, banana, and jellies, and the ice is creamy with an evaporated and condensed milk mix. If you want to "mix mix" let your inner Filipino out! Our visiting family had a great time catching up and enjoyed our yummy meal together. The Filipino aunty servers are always top notch and serve your food with Aloha. We probably only waited 15 minutes or so for the food as well which is always appreciated especially when hungry.

This year, we came during the day right after landing. I called in my orders so I knew they are open. Upon arriving at the address, we didn't spot the truck immediately. Luckily my son and husband had the sense to checkout the area and they found it nestled in the back corner of a building, fully shaded. Anyways, the crispy pork is as good as we remembered. The skewers as well. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about their lumpia's. The banana lumpia's are now covered in caramel sauce vs naked.

Not only is the food solid and delicious, the prices are MORE than fair, especially for the Hawaiian prices lately. I ordered the breakfast Moco Loco and side of hash browns. They both were exactly how you would wish they tasted! My partner ordered the breakfast combo plate and side of banana macadamia pancake. The pancake was SOO freaking good! The banana flavor hits your mouth immediately causing bliss. The combo plate had two eggs, sausage links and bacon. I almost forgot to mention that I had a cup of coffee that, hands down, blew away every other cup I've had eating out all year... no kidding! All this came to under $40, +tip. Try and beat that!! I also discovered this was a family -run establishment, which made my heart smile. The server, I believe her name was "Robbie" was a total sweetheart and very friendly and helpful. Hopefully you will get a chance to meet her... TLDR: Come here for solid food at rock-bottom prices!

On my first trip to Maui, I was excited to try as many local food spots as possible, and Da Soriano…read moreGrindz ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. I was immediately intrigued by the calamansi pork -- an item I had never seen it on a menu before. One bite and I was hooked. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the bright, citrusy calamansi added a unique tang that made the dish completely unforgettable. It was so good that I'm still thinking about it after coming home. We also tried the pancit noodles, pork sisig, and mochiko chicken, and every dish was excellent. The pancit was packed with flavor, the sisig was gelatinous (fir those who are into it), and the mochiko chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and impossible to stop eating. For my first visit to Maui and my first time trying Da Soriano Grindz, this food truck set the bar incredibly high. If you're visiting Maui and want amazing Filipino food that's a little different from what you'll find elsewhere, don't skip this spot. The calamansi pork alone is worth the trip.

I had my favorite Kumu Farms eggplant and goat cheese sandwich as a wrap, sub arugula for mixed greens, add avocado, and was served by a group of very lovely and happy women. What a nice place! The wrap was absolutely delicious and I gobbled up the whole thing in a nano-second because I was so hungry for something healthy, and so happy to have found it amid all the corporate chain food options in town. There are so many options on the menu, in the salad bar to pick from, so this may be difficult if you are someone who overthinks things or has a hard time making a decision, but rest assured, it is ALL fresh and healthy, wholesome, with plenty of 'favorites' to choose from. They were out of the lamb chili today, so I will have to make a trip back soon to try it. And I just can't wait!
