Let me begin by saying / Do not come here hungry - this is my second time here and they are quite good about forgetting about you - chips and salsa? (Don't ask ur waitress- she will tell you it is someone else's job) Then it arrives a few minutes before your meal arrives! Want another margarita? Hmmmm... Your waitress walks by and seems oblivious - heck Maybe u get better service at the bar... On top of bad service how about some bad attitude - Oh well... With amigos like these -'who needs (fill the blank here) / adios! read more

Great place for happy hour. The margaritas are only $5 and quite strong so you get your money's worth. Free chips and salsa is awesome too. Food is ok but slightly over priced for what it is so I only drink here now. Service is very good. read more

I used to go to breakfast here about once a week for a few months. Not sure what happened but 5 or 6 months ago, the kitchen started making errors on our orders - each time we went, either something was incorrectly cooked (ie, rock hard eggs Benedict) or the order was just incorrect (a burrito with no meat shouldn't have bacon and if I ask for green sauce, I do not want red sauce). I figure every kitchen has a bad day, but after half a dozen visits where we had to ask for a new plate for at least one person in our party, we had a doozy of a meal wherein all 4 people's orders were completely wrong and what did show up on our table was grease soaked and/or rock hard. And the server never once apologized or asked to replace the incorrect orders - he asked if we just wanted to eat the food anyway. We gave Amigo's a rest for a few months & tried once more a couple days ago. Verdict: weak drinks, slow service, 2 of 4 of us received incorrect orders and the second time, my friend's order was still wrong. I'd still go back if the servers seemed to care, but they're slow to greet you, slow to check on you & only seem confused when you flag them down to ask for the food you actually ordered. read more

Decent food for the price. If you have a taste for authentic Mexican/Latin American cuisine, then go here. The service was quick & attentive. They serve breakfast all day & have outdoor seating. The burrito prices averaged about $11. Perfect place for something different than chain restaurants or high end lunch pubs. The chips & salsa was complimentary & plentiful. read more

The food was ok. The margarita I ordered tasted a little watered down, and the portions were smaller than I expected. The shredded beef tasted a little too sweet, and they put this large dab of sour cream on top of the enchilada, which I though was unnecessary. It was cheap food, but ok. You get what you pay for I guess. Also, it was a little too small. We were sitting to this really annoying guy who had ADD and was obnoxiously telling stories to his friends. Probably would not recommend this place to a friend. read more

I was not impressed with Amigo's. The ambience was nothing special, and actually seemed kind of "greasy". And the food seemed to all have off flavors. The guacamole tasted like cheddar and the Chicken Chimichanga had the flavor of curry. The rice and beans were both so gooey and starchy that neither was appetizing. If this is "the best Mexican food on Maui" there is a huge opportunity for improvement. Maui Tacos was head and shoulders above this place. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Much better than Fred's and more reasonably priced. Very happy with this place. Will return.

Not bad when I need my Mexican fix when I miss it I'm from California and when your family in Hawaii sometimes you need a good spot for Mexican food and this ones my fav on the island read more

We make an annual visit to Maui in November. Inevitably, our first restaurant choice is Amigos in Kihei. We went last night and, as usual, we loved it. We like the way the owner Jesus, recognizes and greets his guest. He is friendly, and attentive without being obsequious. I had an ice cold Dos Equis is on tap at a very reasonable $5 for a twenty-four ounce glass and my dinner companion had a peach Marguerita which was delicious. Amigos doesn't skimp on the tequila either. The service is excellent. More chips? (Free of course) No problem. The salsa bar gives the diner plenty of choices both hot and mild and the food is authentic and tasty. I had the chile verde and my partner had a shredded beef chimichanga. Both dishes were well cooked and perfectly prepared. Am I being too complimentary. No way. This restaurant is a true gem. We will go back several more times for burritos, enchiladas and mole. Mnnn, I can taste it already. Amigos, currently in a small shopping mall off the main drag, will soon be moving to larger premises on South Kihei rd. Buena suerte Jesus. read more

A family favorite we have been coming here since I was a young child. Food is always amazing and the staff great. The owner is very personable and friendly. Even the quality of the food is better than the other amigos. read more

Cinco de mayo 2016 at Amigos . Short waiting time ... 15 minutes considering the crowd . Our waitress was excellent . Service was fast and food was great . My only minor complaint was my Margarita was weak . Couldn't taste much tequila . More Tequila next time ! Lol . Highly recommend and I will be back . read more

I come here for happy hour sometimes and I've never actually had any of there meals. We usually get a beer or a margarita, and one of there happy appetizers. It's like a lot of mexican restaurants. Burritos and chimichangas and chips and salsa. Not a huge place and a pretty small bar. 1 or 2 T.V.'s but they have an outside eating area which is alright. Nothing else on this one. It's A-OK. read more

The Carne asada fries, it was ok, could be better. The mango margarita was YUM!!! Strong and tasty, I think they used real mangoes too! Sweet and perfectly made! The salsa bar had a variety and my favorite was the salsa verde, spicy!! read more

Amigo's - Mexican Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

We ate here 2 nights ago--I had a hankering for Mexican and found this on Yelp. Pretty much disappointed and would not come back. Service was slow despite lots of wait staff--they kept stopping to chat with each other and startling when you could finally make eye contact--like they would remember, 'oh yeah--I'm supposed to be working.' I had their pork carnitas which were advertised as 'slow-roasted in its own juice'. While there were a few pieces that seemed to be moist and flavorful, 90% of the meat was hard and dry--like it was left over stuff that was thrown in the mix. The tortillas chips were stale and several left an almost-burnt taste in my mouth. While the pico de gallo on the plate was good, the salsa served with the chips was limp and mushy. Very negative experience all the way around. read more

Last night in Maui and we chose Amigos. Awesome food selection. Margaritas were top notch. Service was excellent.

I'm pretty hard on Mexican food being from San Diego that said I understand we are on the south end of an island not known for its tacos. That considered this place is worth a visit. Al pastor chimichanga is good. Came with Guac and sour cream. All things considered this was worth my time. If you ate from anywhere both of LA or South Texas you should be more than happy. They serve brekfast all day fyi. read more

For Mexican food on the island. This is as good as it gets. Convenient location In Kihei, staff were friendly and quick.

Only reason I didn't give it a 5 is the environment. A hole in the wall in a strip mall. (Kihei location) But this is authentic Mexican! There's a special every night. Prices are reasonable. Dos Equiis on tap in chilled mugs. Love their chile relleno. Great spanich rice and homemade beans come with entres. read more

When giving your seating preference, only choose outside if you are comfortable with the locals pointing and laughing as they drive by. After two days in Kihei of driving by this strip-mall establishment with my wife and cheerfully singing "amigos" to each other, we decided to surrender ourselves to the authentic beauty of the cuisine this establishment claimed to offer. The chips had the quality similar to those from a freshly opened bag. This was the highlight. The tomato sauce mascuerading as salsa was disappointing. The drinks were better when thickened with melting ice. My wife's quesadilla was bland and lacking anything more than a sliver of cheese. We both enjoyed watching the volcanic-like oozing of the Cheeze Whiz-style product and bizarre neon red juice that flowed from my shredded beef chimichanga when I cut into it. The waitress stopping by three times while we were eating to see if everything was OK says it all. The bathroom is located outside the establishment, eight storefronts away, for good reason. I recommend this place for business meetings when the topic is breaking contracts. read more

The food here is awesome, especially the cheese enchiladas and refried beans! The service is great as well. Reese was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place! read more

Service pretty bad.

It bothers me to see a server (reese) being insulted from someone behaving so nasty and down right mean. As locals originally from California and New Mexico this is our go to place. Every server, bartender, and even the owner has always been amazingly friendly, helpful and kind. read more

This place was great! I don't know what anyone is talking about saying its not authentic mexican. I am from California and this was definitely authentic. The service was great, the food was good, and it was all for a good price. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Kihei. Definitely better than Freds! read more

My children, wife, and I have been coming to amigos for the past four years. This is our "go to" restaurant. You can't beat the price and the large portions. The service has always been wonderful. They even have kamaaina. Thanks for a solid 4 years with many years to come! read more

Fantastic place for Mexican. Prices are good and the food is fantastic. The carnitas is the best this side of socal. It was crispy on the outside, tender inside and just the right combination of light and dark meats. They also have a serve yourself salsa bar and drinks. It's in a weird strip mall that's hidden from the main strip so if you're looking for ambiance and a view then this is the wrong place. But if you're looking for good food, nice people, and a decent price then definitely go. read more

Very good Mexican food. Burittos were good size and very yummy. The grilled fish taco was yummy. The tamales were ok. The Margaritas were good as well. Alot of locals. Good place and won't break the bank read more

If you like true authentic Mexican food than this is it. While on my trips to Mexico near the border of the interior (Lower Mexico) this food seems just like the food I had ate there. In the heart of Mexico there seems to be two main types of food. Extremely spicy and kind of bland. I personally am not a fan of either. I would liken my taste to a more Tex-Mex flavor. However I must agree this is spot on to the food I ate in the heart of Mexico. read more

I got a shrimp burrito. The rice was extremely hard. Both the shrimp and the rice was very cold. The service was good though and quick.

Ruth was our server tonight and she was amazing! She was sweet, attentive and even gave us a hug after our 6 month old puked on her floor. She showed great compassion and patience. Ruth, thank you so much for your kindness! read more

Best Mexican Restaurant in Kihei. I love the chimichanga here. The price of meals are very inexpensive, but the quality and taste of food is spectacular. read more

They have carne asada fries. That right there pretty much seals the deal for me.

We were looking for good food that wasn't outrageously priced. We came across Amigos by accident while walking to a different cafe close by. We realized they had a happy hour at that time so stopped in. SO GLAD WE DID. Not only was the food an amazing price, but it was really good. Got 3 different hard tacos, a bowl of ceviche, and 2 16oz draft longboard beers all for under $22. Plus they brought chips and salsa and the salsa was by far the best I've ever had (a little spicy and really fresh). Staff was very nice. We were greeted outside by a server and inside again by the host. Our waitress was sweet and hurried to make sure we got happy hour in time. The food also came out faster than I can explain. So glad we found this place. Definitely try!! read more

See all

The diabla sauce with veggies is pretty flavorful! Special star for making the veggies a la diabla

Love this place. Great $5.99 breakfast deals and $3.50 drinks before 11 a.m. Great way to start the day on Maui. Happy hour from 3 to 6. Love the tortilla soup. Great offing of authentic Mexican food with different deals offered every day. And a free basket of chips with salsa. My only issue is remembering the washroom code:( Bartender Nathalie is awesome. read more

Should be 3.5 stars. Nice Ono fish tacos with lots of fish, but the corn tortilla was just OK not great. The chili relleno was really good and the cheese enchilada was perfect. read more

A small strip mall restaurant that I would have passed up if it weren't for the reviews here on Yelp. I am so glad we ate here because the food was outstanding! Better tanned the Mexican food back home in California, and believe me, that is saying a lot! Do not pass this place up if you have the chance to stop and eat! read more

Wow - I don't know what the haters were talking about - it was great!! I had low expectations after reading reviews, but our valet at the fairmont said it was his favorite Mexican restaurant on the island. Our waiter was extremely attentive, came back 3-4 times to make sure we had everything. He refilled drinks promptly, and best of all the food was excellent. We live in so. Cal, and my husband is Mexican, so we know good Mexican food! If you haven't tried it cause of the reviews, it's definitely worth the visit. read more

Went for lunch. Not crowded. Seated quickly, ordered drinks. Chips and salsa arrive, but not drinks. Ate the chips and salsa, and still no drinks. The bartender was busy arranging chairs and sweeping. The waitress did not get his attention and indicate he had a drink order. Not bartenders fault. Reading the reviews it is obvious that service is their problem. The food was good, in fact I believe the best Kihei has to offer. I ate here when it was not busy, I would never come here if it was crowded, because of the slow service. read more

Had lunch here the other day. Shredded beef flautas were tasty and my better half enjoyed his big burrito. Service was excellent and very personable. We typically go to their Kahului location since it's closer to home but this Kihei one has outdoor seating which is nice. read more

Wow! What a place!! My wife and I had a blast here.. $5.99 patrons and $3.99 coronas.. This place was packed on cinco de mayo! Haven't tried the food yet but service from the gentleman at the bar was awesome! He was very attentive even though the place was super busy! read more
