    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.

    Chile Rellenos with rice, beans and homemade corn tortillas

    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.

    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).

    Huge disappointment. The eggs were cold. The tortilla was almost just taken out of the bag and onto the plate. Server was nice but we will not be returning.

    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.

    Inside

    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.

    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!

    The food was delicious, will definitely make this a regular stop. The restaurant was clean and service was quick and friendly!

    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!

    Carnitas Tlacayo

    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!

They told me come back so they can give me a refund but when I got there the manager refused to see me or offer me anything more then a refund of 4.50$ because it was in the rice. What in insulting thing to do to someone. I will never support this business ever again. They wanna claim I was threatening them and being aggressive and that's why they refused to compensate me fairly. When I initially called it was dark and dinner time. They told me they would give me a full refund but as of today because I didn't bring the food back immediately theyre choosing to treat me like Im an asshole for wanting my money back. I threw the food out after I took the picture. I have two young children and Im their sole parent so I communicated that I couldn't make it back that night. Not I wouldn't, I couldn't seeing how it was our bedtime and school in the morning. They never communicated that I will not be refunded the same if I didn't come back immediately. There's no way they are taking proper health precautions if there was a hair deep in the rice and if they are then it was intentionally put in my food. I wasn't rude or upset to begin with. You could have made a happy customer and just taken accountability but you chose to be disrespectful and offer me 4.50 so yeah I got upset and asked to speak to the manager. It's the principle. Your manager refused to speak to me and made the front desk girl lie and say she wasn't in to avoid the issue and made her handle it. I mentioned the health department because how would a hair get in there if you take all proper health precautions so how do I know you do when there's a hair in the food? She then said the manager can hear everything from the camera yet still refused to handle it yourself. Valid crash out.

Left me talking there while she was picking up the phone instead of putting them on hold, took forever to take that order and then my order on top of that she took it wrong and I was really angry because I paid $20 for a lousy tiny plate with rice and beans full of rice and beans it was supposed to come with two Chile rellenos. I sat down and waited, she calls my order 3 times. I mean I don't have wings to fly, I was getting up to get it, apparently it was not fast enough for her. I had to say coming, that was ridiculous so I bring the plate to my table and start eating, and I only had gotten one chiller relleno instead of 2, mind you It was super tiny. They use Anaheim peppers, cheating the customers because chiles rellenos are made with poblano peppers . John, the owner has gone crazy and doesn't know what else to do to cut corners, but this has gotten absolutely ridiculous. I have friends that have been going there, and myself included for decades, but we are not gonna patronize this Place any longer ever again. Amigos still gives free salsa, they are better as far as portions. The only thing I hate is that they tack on a 20% tip. Stay away from this place do not fall for the trap. You will not get good food anymore Here again. Their portions are very tiny ridiculously small! And the cook had the nerve to lie that she gave me two Chiles rellenos. I showed my plate to the woman that was filling in and then she took the cook's side, even though the cook only spoke Spanish! Unreal I should report this business. Obviously they have cameras, the owner can see how they're cheating customers out of their food that we pay too much to get crumbs and terrible service and quality, bland food Some of us patrons are sick of his behavior! The owner needs to take responsibility for this. Remember, word travels fast! PIÑATAS WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS SOONER THAN YOU IMAGINE! There's way better Mexican food on the island look up La Poblana...

This is not a sit down, all seating is outside and limited, but the food is totally worth the small inconvenience. The salsa and guacamole were very very good. Their regular salsa was smooth and seasoned well. Their medium salsa was great as well and had a little kick. The guac was just perfectly chunky and didn't have huge chunks of raw onion or tomato which we loved. The Anaconda Burrito had all the fix-ins and we added sour cream. We shared between 4 people, but it could easily be shared by 6. Some of us also don't usually like beans, lettuce, or onions, but we had no problem eating the burrito as is, it mixed together well. We also had the Tres Leches which was fresh and moist. Very light and well done. Overall, we will definitely recommend Acevedo's to friends and go back next time we are in Maui!

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.
