Food tastes good, and I did get to go but enchiladas were so small, the beans and rice portions were small, and I payed for an extra enchilada to feed my kids but it still feels small. I paid 27$ and I don't feel good about it. read more

Great Mexican restaurant on Maui. The ambiance is super fun, and colorful with Mexican music playing. The service is excellent and friendly. Food was excellent! We had the chicken chimichangas, chicken sopes and the taco salad. Everything was delicious! Definitely coming back! read more

Legit Mexican food on Maui -- worth the stop! I'm from a neighboring island (Oʻahu), and honestly, great Mexican food options are few and far between. While visiting Maui for the day, we decided to give Chabelita's a try -- and I'm so glad we didn't skip it. The chicken enchiladas with green sauce were absolutely delicious -- full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. We also tried a taco, and again, the meat was spot on: juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. We ordered the guacamole too, and while it was tasty, it was very basic and the portion was on the small side for the price -- a teeny tiny bowl that disappeared way too fast! Overall, though, the food was amazing, the service was friendly, and I'd definitely come back next time I'm on Maui. Highly recommend if you're craving real, flavorful Mexican food in paradise. read more

I grew up in Northern California's Central Valley and have always enjoyed Mexican food. I've lived on Maui since 2017 and I think this is the best Mexican restaurant on island. Tonight was our second visit to Chabelita's and the chile relleno plate was terrific. The relleno flavors were well balanced between the chile, the cheese and the red sauce. What I liked best was the breading complimented the other flavors and was not doughy or heavy. I usually order rellenos with green sauce but the red sauce was just spicy enough that I would order it again. Lastly, the homemade corn tortillas served with the rellenos were amazing. My wife and her mom both had chicken enchiladas with the milder green sauce and both agreed they were excellent. Our server was friendly, helpful, and remembered us from our previous visit a couple of months ago. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

Finally, real Mexican food on Maui! We've been needing legit Mexican food on the island, and it's finally here. This place absolutely delivers. I had the carne asada taco plate -- everything was fire. The beans were so good I could've eaten a whole bowl of just those, and you can tell they make the tortillas fresh. My mom got the shrimp cocktail and it was so fresh, tangy, and flavorful -- perfectly chilled and loaded with shrimp and all the good stuff. Apparently, the owner's sister runs the food truck outside Lowe's, which totally makes sense because everything tastes homemade with love. My dad actually found this spot on Yelp when he was visiting a few days ago and tried the fajitas said they were next-level and had to come back. I also grabbed a horchata, and it was chef's kiss. The space is super cute too, it's a sit-down spot, family-run, and has that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Support local, eat amazing food, and thank me later. I'll definitely be back (probably way too often). read more

Aloha Foodies! Went to Chabelitas after eating many meals at their sister truck, Poblanas. I figured that since the truck owner's recipes are shared with Chabelita's, the food would mostly look be great too! After checking Chabelita's menu, I noticed that they had an expanded menu compared to Poblanas. I had the Chile Relleno plate that included a large, floured, cheese-stuffed Chile, Mexican rice and pinto beans. Delicious! Finished the meal off with Churros. Four pieces were included including both chocolate AND caramel dipping sauces. A little harder texture than expected but the flavor was good! The ambiance was nice, cool with background Mexican musica and the service was great! It's hidden in the Wailuku Industrial park but worth searching for. Enjoy! read more

We're from Sacramento and have Mexican food regularly. Wanted to find our spot on Maui and we did. The atmosphere was calming and server was very kind. The workers made my spouse miss their family. We went about an hour and a half to closing and there was a family leaving after their meal. We sat anywhere and ordered a burrito al pastor plate and Costillas en Salsa Verde. All I'm going to say is that we will be back in a couple of days. read more

Good food. Good indoor atmosphere very fresh and clean place to dine in. I always loved the shrimp tacos no can go wrong. Today we got a spread of chimichanga, tacos, quesadilla, chili relleno, and menudo with side Alpastor fries. Everything was good. read more

Went in around 10:30am, but it was still breakfast for them. The server was nice and told us they can do our lunch order. We were thankful for that accommodation. Inside is very clean, nicely decorated, and spacious. Just be careful with the stairs that lead you up to the restaurant, it's uneven and can cause you to trip. We got the chimichanga plate and enchilada plate. They were pretty good, just wish it had a little more flavor to them besides spicy. I wish the beans were cooked a little more too. Finished the entire plate and was full. Would go back to try other items as they have a large menu. read more

Love this place already! It just opened. So glad Chabelitas opened up near the Maui Food Bank. This place is officially my new neighborhood go-to! I took my son here for a quick lunch and everything from the service to the food was top-notch. I ordered the Pazole and wow... delicious doesn't even begin to cover it. I grew up in San Diego and this is exactly how I remember it- authentic, flavorful, and comforting. My son went with the carne asada burrito, and let's just say there weren't any leftovers. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the vibe makes you want to come back again and again. In fact, I already am, tonight is my second visit in one week! If you're looking for real deal Mexican food on Maui, look no further. Chabelitas is the spot. You're welcome read more

Best Mexican food on Maui. I've lived here for three years and I've been to all the Mexican spot, more than once. Chabelita's serves the freshest, most authentic, most savory Mexican cuisine of them all. Fresh corn tortillas, delicious fragrant salsas, real Mexican "queso fresco" cheese (no grated yellow cheddar here), freshly chopped cilantro and onion garnish...it feels like a home cooked meal, not a pre-heated mess covered in oil like we gringos have become accustomed to elsewhere. Service is very friendly with a smile and the space is bright and very clean. Lots of parking. But no alcohol. If you need booze there's a neighborhood bar just downstairs or you can bring your own in (I asked). Highly recommended!!! read more

Tried Chabelitas for the first time today. Service was more than excellent. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The taste, the display, the portions all a 10 out of 10. If you're looking for a quick delicious place to eat I highly recommend this sweet spot. Very spacious, lots of parking. Also kid friendly! read more

Huevos Rancheros was good. Coffee ($3.50) was really small around 6 oz. Waitress had two tables and my empty coffee was never checked on. When I finally could ask for a refill, when she cleared the table, she brought a new cup and I was charged another $3.50. read more

This place was delicious. The service was excellent and the food was top tier Mexican food on Maui. El pastor and Carne Asada were rich in taste. You can tell a lot of care is put into the ambiance, food, service and down to the keiki menu. My new favorite Mexican place! Muchas gracias! read more

New family Mexican restaurant - it's hidden a bit as it's upstairs and in a bit of a commercial area of Wailuku but worth finding! Tasty, authentic food- we really enjoyed Costillas con Salsa Verde with beans and Carnitas Tlacayo. And a Mexican Squirt in a bottle! Great service. Check them out - we need to keep our Maui restaurants in business, and this one needs to stick around! read more

The food was delicious with good portion sizes! We were served quick and with a smile. My wife enjoyed shrimp fajitas while I had a shrimp burrito plate. The green sauce with the burrito was excellent! Prices felt fair for what we received. read more

I got a veggie burrito for lunch. There was no one at the restaurant. My order came up in about 5 minutes but the bag was a little light. I payed $19.02 for an $8 burrito. It didn't have most of the ingredients listed, just a tiny dab of guac in the middle of the burrito, rice, beans, and some salsa on the side. I tried the nachos on a previous trip, nice portion but mostly chips. I really want to say something nice about the place because the food isn't bad, just overpriced and lacking the items that make the order good. read more

Every thing is bland. Very small portion sizes. Do not waste your time or money coming here. (For reference this is a to go Fajitas Carne Asada Plate) read more

I went to try their menudo a couple of weeks ago and it was very tasty; all menudo and no meat was great. the flavor of the red chili was also very good. I think Chabelita's has the best menudo on Maui. read more

Worst Mexican food in the state of Hawaii .. Overpriced , under portioned . If you're reading this , please save your money and avoid at all costs. Manager , she is a piece of shit , Selling extremely spicy food to children without telling them they add spicy chipotle sauce without mentioning , When I asked specifically asked for a plain carnita enchilada . Asked for a refund because my child can't handle spicy food and she said no she can't . Greedy ass manager that's why your business has not a single customer in it , Their business is failing because the manager acts like it is !!No respect for people family or children . Don't waste your hard earned money here!!! read more

Not sure of the 5 stars review. It's just okay. There are some other restaurants that maybe better. We were expecting a big crowd for lunch, but there was just one couple besides us. No one came to dine after we sat down. Their food could use a little bit more flavor. Service is good though. read more

I've came here a few times and it's been one of the few places on the island that just seem to get it right whether you dine in for breakfast or lunch you're always guaranteed to be satisfied with the delicious food they have available, my go to is the carne asada torta plate, just the right amount of flavor! read more

We liked the decor; nice paint color & chair decor choices. Our server was very pleasant. The food was very tasty; be prepared for spicy! if you choose the red sauce. Maybe ask for a small portion on the side? The prices & portions were normal for Maui. The selections were unique. We wish them well in their new venture. read more
