    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.

    Shrimp Cocktail

    Hands down, the best Mexican restaurant in Maui! The food is authentic, fresh, and packed with flavor. Everything we ordered yesterday was absolutely delicious, we had a burrito, shrimp cocktail, and chips and salsa. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and welcoming. It truly felt like enjoying a homemade Mexican meal. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone!

    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.

    Burrito carnitas + guacamole + sour cream, and no onions.Size container about an American football, and the burrito almost the same. 5/5

    I ordered a burrito and was amazed my speed of delivery less that 7 min and also amazed by the sheer size of the burrito, the size is like an American football. 5/5 Services were very smooth and welcoming. 4/5 Noise level is good level not to loud. 4/5

    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

    Da Anaconda Burrito! The flavors are absolutely delicious. No regrets getting carne asada and pork carnitas mixed!

    We love to support local! This family owned and operated restaurant is everything you want in supporting a local place to eat. They serve authentic Mexican and Local dishes with the best customer service. The minute you walk in you're greeted and offered assistance. LOVE TO SEE IT! Literally feels like you've walked into your favorite Tia's place! I had to take a business call while waiting in line so my husband and daughter ordered for us. They were so patient and helped my family with their order. Seating is outside but it's SO clean! Some tables are in the sun but there are some in the shade too. We ordered an Anaconda Burrito to share with a side of beans and rice! This burrito is massive. My hand is pictured for reference. EVERY single bite was spot on! I can't stand a burrito where one bite is all beans and the next all this or that. This burrito was layered ever so perfectly and then slightly toasted. The flavors were sooo good. We got a mixture of carne asada and pork carnitas. Highly recommend that mix. It could easily feed a family of 4! The beans had the best homemade flavor and rice had the perfect texture. Our daughter got a plate of Pork Carnitas with Verde Sauce. So much flavor and it was served with white corn tortillas that tasted homemade too. They offer a few different kinds of homemade salsas. All of them are kept cold in a fridge and you can help yourself. They are all so yummy! Although seating is outdoors, a lady who gave major abuela vibes kept checking on us. She offered to go containers because hello? Anaconda burrito! Lol We were getting ready to leave and just wiping down our own table when the sweet lady said to "hang on I have something for you". I looked at my daughter and said I bet she's going to gift you a few tortillas so you'll have some to finish your dish. But, no. She gave us a Banana Cream Pie tres leches cake!!! It was a generous portion and in true abuela fashion gifted it! We were so full but you bet your bottom that once we got in the car we somehow had room for just one bite. We ALL agreed that it was the best dessert bite of year. The textures, the flavors and even the temperature of it was SPOT FREAKING ON! Tuuuuhhh if you don't have any room for dessert, trust me when I say take one to go. We ended up finishing it all before the car even moved. Lol Acevedos thank you for sharing your family recipes with Maui. We are so blessed!

    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.

I usually will get myself a refreshing glass of Horchata. This Cinnamon Rice Drink goes perfect with any Mexican dish to relieve that spice. I will most likely stick to a top 5- Ala Carte Taco (if you visit on Mondays, Tacos are $3.95!), Chicken Tortilla Soup, Caldo De Res (not pictured- Mexican Beef Soup with Potatoes and Carrots), Chicken Quesadilla with sour cream and guacamole on the side and Chorizo Con Huevos (Mexican Pork Sausage with Eggs). I have friends that are Regulars here and they usually get their Birria Tacos or Burritos and they love it! Unfortunately I got Chorizo Con Huevos on this last meal and the Chorizo & Eggs was very over done. (I should've said something but I was hungry). But the plate does come with your choice of Flour or Corn Tortillas and the most fluffiest Rice and Creamy Beans. I rated a 4 because mostly everything else I've ordered has been great and the service is always good even when they're pretty busy. The chips and salsa satisfy and help the busy waiting period go faster and you can always ask for a salsa refill.

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.

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.
