THE BEST FOOD ON MAUI, HAWAII 2023! (from a local resident)

[@BKRVlogs]

New food trucks are popping up every month here and there are already a few new ones that just opened that I have yet to try! Please comment down below any food trucks in Maui that deserve to be in a Part 2 of this video. Mahalo for your support!

[@VisitLiveLoveMaui]

great video Blake! Love all the foodtrucks you mentioned. Add Maui Fresh Streatery in your next video. I know… there are so many more - so many great foodtrucks on Maui. Your list is a great start!

[@Crazymango61]

How you miss smash Maui smh. That’s the best food truck west side hands down. If never smash you missing out

[@AdamsAdventures_]

I think my favorite is “Howzit Eh” at the Kihei Food Oasis! Yummy!

[@telloflores264]

Thanks for putting on ✊🏽💯

[@clhorne776]

You gotta check out the fried fish green mango salad at Thai Food by Siri in Kaanapali. I went back two nights to get it again it was so incredible!

[@nickpearce2968]

Your childlike excitement for all this great food is contagious! Thank you for sharing your favorite spots. We are coming in January. Can't wait!

[@saralynewald1445]

I've been watching videos to prep for our first visit to Maui and yours are the best! They are so well done!!

[@blackhawk8675]

Just wanted to thank you for this video, we went to Maui a few weeks ago for our honeymoon and tried to hit as many of these as we could. They were all amazing and I'm so glad we got to try a bunch of them! North Shore Noodle Bar's steamed buns, Papio's Mac and Trees, and Sweet Hula's Acai bowl were some of our favorites! We went to the Kihei food truck court so many times so we could try all the trucks there, there were just too many choices and not enough time!

[@BKRVlogs]

Thank you for your support! Stoked you had a great time here in Maui!

[@hihihihilollol1]

Thank you! What is the price range?

[@Uniqleedesigned]

Thanks for the food truck recommendations, I'll be flying into Maui in less than a week so this is so helpful!

[@BKRVlogs]

Welcome to Maui, Hawaii!

[@markeschen]

Your food photography is phenomenal! I just had a hearty lunch and you're making me so hungry.

[@BKRVlogs]

Thanks Mark! I get so hungry editing these videos 😅

[@Grzegorz_D]

South Maui Fish company - the best poke. I would like to mention one more food truck in south Maui Gardens - Howzith Eh. Delicious Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches and to die for Kalua Pork Poutine

[@piab5977]

The Pepto killed me. Haha. Great video!

[@lisaaustin6656]

We went to so many of your food destination suggestions in August. You didn't disappoint us!! We loved everything we tried...and kep watching your video at the time to see where we were going to try next! Not a food truck obviosly, but just have say that we had to visit Paia Fish Market twice!! Thanks for adding to our wonderful stay!!😀

[@BKRVlogs]

That’s so awesome. I'm happy you found the videos helpful!

[@Mynameisjoof]

Paia Fish Market is my personal fav. I could eat the blackened ahi burger every day

[@wendlee007]

Love your video, mahalo for sharing! Now we are even more excited about our upcoming trip. Also love your emphasis on reef safe sunscreen, we’ve been strictly using mineral based sunscreens for over 20 years in addition to wearing rash guards 🐠🐟 Keep up the great work.

[@BKRVlogs]

Thank you so much for your support and for your diligence with using mineral based sunscreens and rashguards.

[@sharekajohnson7392]

We LOVE Thai Me Up! Thanks for the heads up on the new locations!

[@412Sammie]

Amazing! I’ve eaten at some of these and can’t wait to come back. TY for sharing!

[@BKRVlogs]

Yay! Which is your fav?

[@charliedo3076]

Great contents ! I love all of your recommendations in this video and the other video of best food on Maui without reservations. I have tried some local restaurants mentioned on the videos, and look forward to trying more food trucks while my family is on Maui. Thank you for these info. By the way, your photos look great, will definitely reach out if we or our friends and family have a need for photography service.

[@eimaad]

Love this and all your other videos! Will be in Maui in a week and can’t wait to try all these food trucks!

[@BKRVlogs]

Hope you had a great time here!

[@VisitLiveLoveMaui]

Soooo many great Foodtrucks on Maui! I’m glad you created and published this video! This is a great start, a very reliable list, and trusted recommendation. I live on the Southside and more familiar with the foodtrucks here - I will check out all of the Westside recommendations you mentioned. Fantastic video! And mahalo for that “ending” - Pono words 🤙🏽

[@BKRVlogs]

Mahalos! Do you have a favorite food truck that I should include for part 2?

[@Chefpetrillo]

This video was awesome! My fiancé and I will be coming to Maui next year for our honeymoon and we’re both chefs and big foodies! This was awesome! Can’t wait to check these spots out! Thank you ! 🙏🏻

[@firepenguin5407]

Love the video and reviews!! Marienda was incredible and we went to El Carrito same day and have to say the best sandwich in that Kihei park was the smash burger from Burger Boys, 100% A5 Wagyu smash burgers OMG! We were floored, best burger and fries we’ve ever had! You have to review in the part 2. Great content and thanks for the recs 🤙🙌

[@chrisfrank9288]

Great video, Jay. Kudos to the camera person bringing the footage. 👍

[@ryannakamura6906]

Great video wish I saw it when I was home. couldn't try em all. Always "afraid" to try new things. Glad to see a local making it work in Hawaii. Sad that so many locals have to leave the islands to live. I'm stuck on the other side of the planet. Can't afford to move back to the US much less hawaii. Keep up the good work. Lunas c/o 89'

[@suegordon6805]

We ate the the food trucks several times when in Kehei. Had pad thai with tofu from Thai me up and Poke from the poke truck. Yummy in the tummy. Also enjoyed Maui Tacos and Maui bagels.

[@pavena]

Just tried Merienda today because of this video & I have to say, 10/10 would eat again- I now will whole-heartedly follow you as my main food sourcing!

[@David-gp3fd]

maui born n raised and this is eye opening. Gonna try to start to try as many as possible now on

[@Natsume-fan-lisa]

12:36 their steak empanadas are literally the best thing I’ve eaten at a food truck. Can’t stop thinking about it. Paired with their sandwiches with handmade sausages is killer combo. El Carrito is magic.

[@BKRVlogs]

Can’t be beat!

[@mayratoro]

Yess thank you for this!! My favorite meals from when I was in Maui last year were from food trucks! Sooo good

[@BKRVlogs]

Do you have a number one?

[@mangowett9967]

Thank you for including plant based options!

[@yeuxdal]

What a great video- I’ll be using as many of these recco’s as possible! And side note, it’s so lovely that you always center the health of your gorgeous home and its reefs. People should know that lots of great swim clothes now exist- leggings and rashguards that prevent you having to use much sunscreen at all!

[@BKRVlogs]

Mahalo for the support! That’s a good idea with recommending rash guards and such. I’ll keep that mind. Mahalos!

[@yeuxdal]

@@BKRVlogs I actually swim in an SPF hoodie. Not very sexy, but as you know if you surf, that material keeps you nice and cool once wet, too. Great for pasty folks like me.

[@freyja77]

Thanks for making this video! I’m planning a trip to the big island and Maui and want to find ways to budget, but also want to explore the culture as much as possible. And bonus points for being able to support local businesses while I do so. Food trucks seem like a great option and the food looks amazing. 😋

[@westsidecookingwithchelsea1501]

Awesome vid, we went to several of your food trucks while we were there and we were never disappointed! We did find the BEST cinnamon rolls in Maui at a bakery called Papi’s Ohana! Also they had the best mango scone I have ever had! And a shout out to the food truck court by our condo, Hoopiilani Food Truck Park. Awesome Guava Lemonade at the lemonade truck and awesome mahi fish tacos with pineapple at Hooked. Overall great spot to check out!

[@tristanwood2512]

Awesome video mate, Im visiting Maui for the first time and will be hitting many of those amazing food trucks you have shown. Where can i get All Good sun cream when i get there?

[@lyrahibbler2340]

Traveling to Maui in January, saving your video now ♥️

[@Onafarmlovinit]

I am coming to Maui in the middle of May. I can’t wait to try these.❤

[@kelseycoon7260]

Can’t wait to try as many of these as we can!! They all look incredible 🙌😋

[@BKRVlogs]

So good! Safe travels

[@thebishopfam]

Hi I’d love a video with best breakfasts on Maui! Love your other food videos!

[@BKRVlogs]

You got it! I have something like that planned for this summer 🤙🏽

[@juliusdirecto4397]

Any chance the food trucks in Lahaina are open to tourists?

[@livingwithevs8289]

Arriving in Maui in two weeks and looking forward to trying these. Great video!!

[@BKRVlogs]

Which was your favorite?

[@losisavuotolok9097]

Thankyou I just stopped at likepoke And I had the fried poke also with side of raw poke it was the bomb because paula hooked it up

[@jamesmathews1130]

Such great info! Mahalo for this review! We will definitely hit a lot of these up when we visit this month

[@BKRVlogs]

Sounds awesome! No problem!

[@baronrondrian]

Hi there! We just arrived at Maui and tried the nice vegan food of EarthAlohaEats. It was delicious!! Thank for compiling this list, we will try to check as many of them as we can.

[@baronrondrian]

Two more food trucks: Sweet Hula and Thai mee up. Both were incredibly good! Also big Thank you 🙏 for the hint with isolated water flasks! That one is a big hit also!

[@62orbetter4]

This is wonderful information

About to head to Maui for another trip. I've been going there since I was a baby, and admittedly have not eaten at any food trucks haha. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@BKRVlogs]

That’s awesome! Let me know which is your favorite when you try them!

[@carterstockham948]

Needed this info! I’ll be in Maui in a few weeks!

Be there in August for 7 days can’t wait.

[@Saidakine]

Love all your choices and absolutely agree with you. In fact I am going to south shore tomorrow and get the Fish Tacos . May I suggest 1 more ? That is the Thai food truck at Maui Nui Farms in Kula. Nui is Thai and her son runs the Food Truck. She is the whole seller for Foodland on Maui. She opens up her Farm to the public Thursday to Sunday. So you not going to get fresher ingredients and she even has chickens so the eggs her son uses are fresh. I have been to Thailand several times, one of the reasons Thai food in Thailand is great is because they put tons of sugar in the food. Nui’s son does not and it still taste great. It’s the most authentic Thai food on the island. I love Thai me up but I would say it’s Thai inspired. The Chef there uses the same wok pans for the same food never puts any other stir fry in them. That’s one of the secrets. Sorry for the long post but I also love our food Trucks here.r

[@BKRVlogs]

Mahalo for the info! I’ve heard of this food truck many times after publishing this video. I can’t believe I missed it! I will surely try it for the next food video!

[@KortneyCRNA]

We are getting in to Maui around 9 pm in two weeks 🎉😊 cursory search doesn’t show many options open. Any suggestions??

[@roaddog1973]

Best shrimp burrito in Maui is "Fish Market Maui" in Lahaina.

[@bradlywiebe3673]

Food trucks are ALWAYS the best food. I've travelled the world and without question the best food is found at the street vendors and food trucks.... and Maui has some of the best! My personal favorite wasn't even mentioned in this video, Geste's shrimp truck, that food is lit!

Thanks and we live in Kihei and did not know about all these. We know where they are but not who is the best. I use Yelp but some times with covid especially things are out of date. Darn was just upcountry Tuesday but everything closed early. Kula Bistro was open but the back staff was coughing alot so we left. We are not early risers! We are Happy Hour kinda folks. Sticking with food trucks or takeout until I dont hear anymore coughing….Mahalo❤

[@joe651dzd]

There was a food truck in kula years ago I can’t remember exactly where but upper kula, anyone know if it’s still there? They had this red yellow curry that was so good. Best curry I had in USA. Also bro if u tried alohabraised chicken by island grocery in Lahaina? It’s sooooo mean

[@tarb1320]

Just got back from Maui this week and HUGE shout out to BKR for all his recommendations!!! Couple quick mentions from his other vids. The snorkel day trip to Lana'i with Trilogy was great, totally worth it and would do again. Cool Cats in Lahaina was good but definitely not best burger but it was a cool place to hang out and people watch. The feast at Lele Luau was so disappointing. we booked it because of the fire dancing but overall I would not recommend it. It was so dark and poorly lit you could not see anything but the stage, it was also packed with too many people so it felt way over crowded. The worst part however was the food...out of 5 courses I would say the best item was the beef short ribs that were average at best. The Kalua Pig was absolutely terrible, it was so over salted you couldn't eat it, other people there said the same thing, they don't even cook it in the ground anymore, its prepared off site at a restaurant and brought to the Luau, very disappointing, would not go back. Now for the food trucks, Merienda was definitely one of the better food trucks we went too, The Thai beef Tacos were amazing and the Chicken Sandwich was also the best I had but the best item from there not mentioned in this video was the Umami Fries, OMG we went back twice just for those, amazing!!! The other food trucks next to Merienda were also great we tried them all, I would say the vegan place is good for vegan food but you can still tell its not meat, I wasnt blown away with it by any means. Best food truck we went to was the red Pirate food truck in front of the ABC store in Whalers Village, The BEST Beer battered fish tacos ever (and im from SoCal) the grilled fish tacos were also fantastic, This place also had the best burger I had on the island and best fried shrimp. This would definitely be my number 1 food truck recommendation with Merienda a close 2nd.

[@BKRVlogs]

Huge mahalo for all this information! I will give the Da Nani Pirates (red food truck) another shot for the video! Thank you for your update on the Luau! I’ll go again and see if something may have changed and update my future videos. Mahalo again for your support!

He says something about "reef safe sunscreen" and I'm like what brand is that? Why is it illegal to not use his sponsor's sunscreen brand? Then I realized, maybe it's pollution, like when I put on too much zinc products it makes me tired like I might die but its worth it

[@BKRVlogs]

I wish I was sponsored by a sunscreen brand but I'm not! Any sunscreen that's isn't reef safe kills the reefs.
