Out of all of them my favorite was the lamb and the caprese was second best. The lamb was juicy and the flavors were spot on and the caprese was well balanced with tomato, cheese, and basil. The ground beef was a bit on the sweet side which I don't care for too much in my savory food, but it was still tasty. All of them were baked expect for the pork which was fried. I didn't care too much for the fried and preferred the baked ones was better. The dough on the empanada is to die for!

chocolate haupia pie ($11) - i dont usually like chocolate…read moreflavored dessert but i have to say this one changed my mind - it is one of my favorite dessert on this island AND i loved it so much this deserves a five star woooo - i really went in not expecting much from it but every bite was delectable from the cream on top to the chocolate and coconut layers - first, as a cream hater who usually scrapes off the cream, i actually ate and enjoyed it; it was light and fluffy not heavy at all - second, the chocolate layer wasnt too sweet and was super velvety smooth; it got enough chocolate content but not too much that it'd be too rich and dense - third, the coconut layer wasn't offensively strong but it actually balanced out the sweetness from the cream and chocolate; it was also a bit gelatinous which enhanced the texture of this dessert - lastly, the tart was crispy and crunchy; not too thick and it also added another layer to the texture, completing the whole dish rating: 5/5 - quick service and half self service; nothing much to note; the pies were already pre made so the server just gave it to us immediately - very casual dining spot; family friendly; ambiance is giving little cabin type restaurants you would find when you're on a road trip IG: @nom.noms.only

Wow crazy how expensive the pies are now. I won't be back. They have always been pricey but today…read moreit was over $12 for a pie that's as small as it is. The computer automatically puts in a tip so I kept pressing to sign my credit card at it was over $15 on my receipt. Id rather get a hula pie at Duke's, MonkeyPod or Leilani's for that price and my family can share with me. Wow. It's sad when these Maui places blow up then up the prices to where it's just not worth it. I used to go in and buy 3 for myself. Not anymore. I'm just as happy with grocery store pies.

Called my order in on a Monday for Tuesday afternoon pick up. Purchased 2 Puerto Rican Lunch Plates…read morethat included a pastele, gandule rice, bacalao salad, empanadilla, portuguese sausage and a spiced cake for dessert. Each plate was $15 plus tax. Total came to $31.25 (cash only) Eating this plate was like eating a home cooked meal. Nothing outside of the norm, but just a solid, well flavored and balanced plate of deliciousness. You can tell these are tried and true recipes. Will be back when we're in the mood for authentic Puerto Rican food. Hopefully they will expand to more days of the week for pick up.

And while I have yet to step foot inside, I got a chance to try something from a co-worker's takeout that I'm definitely going back for! MENU: Puerto Rican Plate Lunch (pastele, gandule rice, bacalao salad, empanadillas, Portuguese sausage & dessert), or broken down into ala carte, box and pan-sized options. FOOD: Empanadillas I absolutely love meat turnovers. Empanadas, empanadillas... What's the difference between the two? Nothing really, except for the fact that in Puerto Rico, empanadas are referred to as breaded steak or chicken and empanadillas are meat turnovers. Other areas of Spanish-speaking folk call meat turnovers, empanadas. Whatever. All you need to know is that if you like either name, you're going to absolutely LOVE these. It is a well-known fact to friends that I don't care for pastele anything due to its odd and weak flavor. I've had a version from another Maui establishment as a stew and didn't care for it. So when I was offered a pastele-filled empanadilla, I grimaced at the opportunity but was all smiles and moans after devouring it! The warm dough was thick like a pie crust and insanely soft, flaky and buttery. Once you get past that delicious shell, the pastele filling bursts your tastebuds with mouth-watering, savory, tomatoey flavors that takes these bad boys over the edge! OMG. One was definitely not enough. TIP: They're a takeout only biz with odd hours and ordering procedures. Definitely call ahead. OVERALL: They're right up there with the best empanadas we had in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

OMG this place is so crowded! And for good reason, the product is very good. Who knew that you…read morecan find a european style cafe on Maui. Near the airport and beach access, this is a tourist favorite, although a fair amount of locals have been spotted here. I judge a bakery cafe on their croissant. And Momona's is on point. Fluffy inside, crispy shell and buttery goodness. The second test is their espresso. They use a mass produced bean, but the taste was ok. Has room for improvement here, but I doubt they are marketing to coffee snobs given the volume of patrons getting sweets and lunch fare. My wife loves her sweet treats and this is on her must visit list whenever we visit Maui. Happy wife Happy life. Aloha

The shop itself was very clean and spacious with comfy seating. The line was quite long - but it moved along quickly. I ordered a double latte and he a cappuccino - looking at the pastry case everything was absolutely photo worthy. We chose the 'coconut roll' to share and took our order to go. We savored every heavenly bite. We will definitely return.

Quite possibly one of the most underrated food trucks. Don't sleep on this one folks!…read more AbiKi's is one of the few Caribbean food options on the island and I think the only option in Kihei. They've got that hot and spicy Caribbean flavor infused into dishes like empanadas, nachos, curry and oxtail stew (available on Fridays and Saturdays only), and more. My husband spontaneously ordered the chimichurri burger one day and while I didn't know what to expect at first, man that burger was mighty delicious! The beef patty is topped with chimichurri sauce and paired with lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, cheddar cheese, chimichurri aoili on a brioche bun. It's burger heaven! Flavorful and moist, it was devoured in no time. It also comes with sweet potato fries and a side of sauce. I don't know if the sauce is for the fries or the burger, but it pairs extremely well with both. Just give your burger a little dip -- SO good. All in all, this burger ranks pretty highly in my list of tasty burgers. We'll definitely be back again to try their other Carribean dishes!

Also ok. 3) Italian salad - 4/5. Had lots of good ingredients with a light dressing. All of us enjoyed this one. 4) quinoa salad - 3/5. Dressing was meh and it was layered under huge slices of zucchini. Quinoa salads can be presented in much better ways. 5) ribeye steak - 5/5. Cooked perfectly with a nice char. The chimichurri sauce was yum. 6) potatoes au gratin - 4/5. It was good, but the slices were slightly thick. 7) mushroom risotto - 4/5. God carb option. The sides are good to share with 2-3 people. If I went back, I'd just go straight to the steak. Good service. I'd go back if I were local.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience completely ruined what should have been a nice…read moredinner during our vacation in Maui. The hostess who greeted us was incredibly friendly and welcoming, so we were excited to eat here. Unfortunately, our server, Denise, made the experience unpleasant from the beginning. When I politely asked for the drink menu, she responded, "Yeah, I'm about to tell you if you let me talk," in a rude and dismissive tone. My husband also asked for sharing plates, and instead of acknowledging him, she simply dropped them on the table without saying a word. We were dining with our toddler and specifically asked for a cup with a lid because he would easily knock over an open cup. Despite that, an open cup of water was brought to the table anyway. To make matters worse, the drinks were bitter, and toddlers fries were extra salty even after saying "no salt". Overall, the food and service were nowhere near what we expected. It's disappointing to spend money on what should have been an enjoyable vacation meal only to leave feeling frustrated. Based on this experience, I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant.

The beef skewers are the perfect texture & flavor. We ordered 4 at first, & ended up ordering 2 more right after. Delicious! Our server Tiffany is soooo nice & attentive. Super sweet & gave us recommendations since it was our first time there. She also recommended the banana pancakes there (come before 11), we will definitely be back to try that before we leave. Overall 10/10 recommend!

Literally, the only place on Maui to get a Slurpee! OH, and some of the best pupus in town too!…read more Positively sure that the 7-11s in Hawaii were the first ones to start selling SPAM Musubi in their hot foods section! It's one of the best stops in town now to not only pick you up some musubis, but also some local manapua and pork hash too! One stop shop for beach bites! Grab some and stuff your cooler or lunch bag before a day in the water! Not only the local fare - but also your 7-11 standards like pizza, Big Bites, wings, and taquitos too! Who doesn't like something from the Roller Grill LOL! And don't forget to stay hydrated with a Super Big Gulp!

Love 7-11, and wish there were more. Love, love, love the hot foods and cold snacks, everything always kept at the expected hot or cold temperature. I love the variety of snacks to choose from, and love that they have some chilled in case its something you don't necessarily want to eat at the moment, save it for later. Thank you for the great variety of musubi, pork hash, sushi, ice cream and manapua. Only other great place for musubi is Foodland, but 7-11s variety is better. I don't touch musubi from anywhere else, because they don't compare, and turns out to be a waste of money and expectations. 7-11 does it just right. The employees here are always busy ringing people up and are very kind. Sometimes I wish they didn't have to deal with some of the knuckleheads that hang around outside the store. Store is always clean inside and neatly, well stocked quality and affordable items. Thank you for being on Maui!
