Food Trucks on Maui

I promised the Food Trucks on Maui “fans” an updated list of food trucks.  As much as I wanted to write a nicer post I think I will settle with this list format and will just update this at a later time with more photos and commentaries.  This post is a “work in progress” and I will continually update this so please do check back

I divided the lists into “regions” because our mobile app also does it that way. I know … I need to update the app… will do too. I am not giving up on this … I ma just slooow…

So here is the quick list for now. Please follow our Food Trucks on Maui Facebook Page to get a updated news and photos.

CENTRAL (Kahului-Wailuku) 

There are 3 main locations where #FoodTrucksOnMaui can be found and then there are other places listed too:

I. At the Kahului Beach Road, at the harbor, across the street from the Maui Arts and Cultural Center.  The daily usuals are

1.  Gestes Shrimp 298-7109 – I call this the “grandfather of the foodtrucksonMaui – it’s been very popular with the tourists for a long time. A little pricey for locals but good shrimp plates.  Not as great as the Oahu Shrimp Trucks but still good!

5.  Ohana Kine Grindz 757-1208 – I was told they are there but I don’t see them when I go there.

There is no eating place here. Just buy the plate lunches and eat in your car or go to the park across the street.
