This location is NOT gluten free. I checked with the restaurant directly when I walked in to order. They warm their flour and corn tortillas on the same grill and verified they have a LOT of cross contamination.

The food here was delicious and pretty cheap. I enoyed the pork chile verde plate and my wife loved the quesadilla.

The area isn' t the nicest, so I'd recommend getting takeout.

I had al pastor tacos with rice and beans. The food was delicious and the server were able to tell me what was celiac-safe. The food was great value for the area too! Unfortunately the fryer had been used for gluten that day, so I was unable to try the chips.

I have celiac disease, so finding good tacos that I can eat while avoiding cross contamination can be a challenge. Almost everything on the menu was gluten free and safe from cross contamination with a few exceptions. I had the shrimp and Al pastor tacos and both were absolutely delicious! The chips and guacamole were also great, and the chips are cooked in a fryer by themselves. This was my favorite place we ate at during our stay in Maui!

The chef knew exactly what celiac and GF was and the only two items on the menu that have gluten in them, then said ‘carne asada has soy and the other has flour’

I had ibbira tacos and thought I needed to get a whole bunch … I was good and salsa was bomb

Stop for sure!

Amazing! Service was great, they heated my tortillas on a separate surface. Pork Carnitas was delicious. I tried my first fish taco, wasn’t my thing BUT the fish was so fresh, nice delicate texture and taste. Get the guacamole, fresh made chips, so good! My husband got the Carne Asada burrito, he’s dairy free and they were great with that too. The burrito was huge! We knew we were in for a special treat when we ended up in an industrial park, the best places are always tucked away. Limited outdoor tables, we got there just before the lunch hour and was able to get a table.

This was the best food we had outside of Mama's Fish House. Everything is GF except the Carne asada and the burrito. Staff can answer questions happily.

Best fish taco ever and I don't even really like seafood! Carnitas was great as well. Guacamole was super bright and fresh. Chips are the only thing in fryer. Maybe 8 tables outside of a warehouse neighborhood.

Seriously, go here. It's safe and unbelievably delicious!

Personally I believed their fish tacos to be some of the best I had in maui! Lots of gluten free taco options, I also had the pork ones and they were delicious as well. Tacos are a great price for Hawaii- 4$ a taco and 5$ for the fish tacos. Get two tacos for a normal size meal, and be aware there's only a few tables to sit at.

Delicious Mexican food with a Hawaiian twist. Most items in the kitchen are gluten free with the exception of the carne asada and burritos
