    Heard that the burritos at Acevedos Hawaicano are to die for, so I went to see for myself. It's easy to find, at 190 Alamaha, but parking can be tricky. Not much street parking but there's a small parking lot. Unfortunately, the spaces are small and pickups wind up on or over the lines. You might have trouble getting your door open without making contact with the car next to you. Inside, you'll see 2 menus. The one hanging from the ceiling is apparently for decoration only. The actual menu is sitting on a table below the hanging menu. I got the Cali Burrito with carne asada, sour cream and guacamole. They weren't busy, but it took quite a while for the burrito to arrive. Glad that there were several tabled outside where I could relax and enjoy the music. First of all, I suggest that you pass on the sour cream and guac since it isn't worth the upcharge. The salsa that's readily available is quite sufficient. I expected the carne asada to have a good mix of charred edges from grilling and a tender interior. But, this was very chewy. Is it good news or bad news that there wasn't much meat? I'm okay with having some fried potato in my burrito if it's well seasoned, but this burrito had a handful of french fries thrown in. Disappointing. IMHO, not worth the price.

    Crazy Nachos

    If you're looking for bold flavors with a local twist, Acevedo's Hawaicano Cafe is a must-try! This spot has quickly become one of my favorites, and let me tell you, their Crazy Nachos are everything. Loaded, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not, no judgment if you keep them all to yourself!). It's my go-to dish every time, and I still crave it after I leave. The menu is packed with creative combinations that blend Hawaiian and Mexican influences so well. You can really taste the freshness in each bite, and the portions are generous, too. Even though I haven't dined in, the food always arrives fresh, well-packed, and still hot, which says a lot. You can tell they put care into every order, and that kind of consistency makes me keep coming back Highly recommend especially those nachos!

    Easy to find, parking lot is small but people seem to leave so if you wait a minute can get a spot. Lots of tables outside (none inside) good music fit the food you were ordering. I was greeted as I entered. Large menu hanging from the ceiling found out later that is not their menu it is onto of a table. I ordered the Cali carne asada burrito, she asked what meat I wanted when I asked her for a good choice she said steak (it ended up being tougher than I liked) asked if I wanted sour cream and guacamole-extra charge for both & both were added very sparingly so will skip those next time. I sat outside and she brought it to me asked about sauces said she'd get 2 for me. Took it home. It was big and easily made 2 meals but I was disappointed in the steak. I'll try them again but will order a different meat.

    Did a quick stop doing errands on the area. It was late afternoon, so it was nice and cool sitting outdoors by the water (river?). Quick service, very tasty. Staff was not very friendly. Had the carne Asada plate to share. It was just perfect for 2 of us. Not sure though if there was MSG in the meal. We both felt bloated and super thirsty after the meal. Sadly, I'm not sure I'd be coming back here.

    Really the best birria consommé I've had in Maui. The burritos are large and filling, the tacos are packed with flavor, and the staff is super friendly. I'll definitely be coming back

    Stoped by on my way home from work because I did not feel like cooking dinner and I wanted good Mexican food and a good value. I have been eating here since they opened and the food has always been top notch. I had the carnitas plate which comes with beans and rice. I have lived in California and Las Vegas and have eaten a lot of Mexican food in my life. These guys make some of the best I have tasted. The carnitas were nice and tender and then they had the perfect amount not jalapeños and onions to go with it then you add the beans and rice and there salsa which again is some of the best I have had. These guys service is always great fast food, friendly and on the ball. Plus I love the fact that this is a family owned place not just another spot that is owned by some rich person that is not even here. It a family owned and family run business. I love how they have added tables and cement. I remember when it was gravel and wooden tables. It has made it look a lot nicer. Well I was going to take. A picture of my food but I was so hungry and it smelled so good I remembered halfway thru and I know we are close to Halloween but no one needs to see that. I will definitely take more food pics next time I stop by. Definitely recommend trying these guys out while your on island.

    Off the cruise ship and quite the walk but worth it! We told the owner - surprise us. She delivered an amazing steak and chorizo burrito with just enough heat from the jalapeños. Very popular with limited outdoor seating but worth the trip!!!

    Great food nicest people you should come here. The food is amazing. Quesadilla burrito and three tacos.

You can just feel it--and yes, confirmed: actual Mexican folks running the place, so you already know the food isn't playing around. Everything was insanely tasty and felt super authentic.

Nothing like standing there debating life decisions while trying every salsa like you're on a flavor quest. Easy 5 stars. I'd come back again and again... and probably embarrass myself at the sauce bar every single time. Service took a little while because there's only one guy cooking but it was well worth the wait.

Let's start by saying, they pulled into the pole position of my most delectable Mexican food bite and place in Hawaii (albeit only had on Oahu and Maii, lol). My order: Chorizo Burrito Bowl and maaayynnn Thai thing was loaded. Starts with a layer of rice, beans, chorizo, green and red cabbage, pico de gallo, avacado, topped with chipotle aioli. Then on the side is a lime, pickled carrots, jalapeño, radish, and I chose spicy salsa. The bowl is huge,, and i stuffed my face and finished every bite haha; it goes to say hot great it was. The rice and beans are a perfect layer of goodness, the crunch from the fresh veggies, that smoky and spicy (light) of the chorizo, richness of that avacado, and finished off with that nice creamy aioli. Then I hit it with the kick or the lime and extra spice of the salsa. I'm in heaven. Oh then add side tart, tangy, and crunchy bites of the pickled veg. Waaaaawhoooo was my tummy happy. I'd like to say, I want to come back and all their other options such as their soft and questo tacos or biria. However as I am not in Maui much, probably going back for my home run. Hopefully next time someone else is with me so I can try their choices haha. The staff were friendly and food came out in good time. They are located on the back side of the food truck area, so don't pass them by if you just jump into the main area. Definitely recommend them for all who havent.
