Down the Hatch Maui

Great place right below Cool Cat Cafe. You order, sit wherever, and they bring the food to you. The person taking our order was knowledgeable about what was gluten free. Tacos can be made with corn tortillas, but beware that everything fried is cross-contaminated. Do not get the chips if you have celiac! You can sub the side of chips for garlic rice or a side salad, which are both delicious. We got the grilled shrimp tacos and the chicken tacos with side salads that came with lava lava sauce and mango salsa. So delicious!!

Best fish tacos I have ever had. Great care to allergies and understand cross contamination. Delicious food, decent number of options but this felt the safest. Loved it.

The patio is nice and the set-up with ordering at the window is efficient. The tacos were reasonably good, but it’s a bummer to have to get a side of rice instead of chips. Everything fried goes in a shared fryer so that leaves a very limited menu (no chips, nothing listed as “crispy”).

I had the Baja chicken tacos on homemade corn tortillas, they were amazing! Also had a delicious pina colada. Would definitely recommend this place! Plus it was on diners, drive ins and dives!

Delicious fish tacos! I explained celiac disease and the accomodations needed. They were super accommodating and said they would clean the area and use different pans. Just avoid anything fried. And be prepared to wait a little longer (which I always find comforting because it means they are actually prepping the area!)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Probably the best gf fish taco on the island. Otherwise limited options.

Not much choice for GF here. Even their French fries are coated in flour. If you want yet another fish taco, this might be your place. Disappointed and would not recommend.

Really good food! When we walked up to order I asked what could be prepared GF and the cashier was very knowledgeable and pointed out a wide variety of items on the menu. I had the Baja chicken tacos and the were delicious! No ill effect.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great coffee! No light brown water coffee here:)

I really wanted to love this place, but I did get sick after eating here. I chose a simple salad and explained my restrictions. They took me seriously and seemed to understand, but somehow I found gluten.

Not too many choices, but the fish tacos were good.

Great food in a casual setting. I got the seared ahi and it was really really good

No GF menu, but they have corn tortillas on request, and the chef could answer the necessary questions. I had the sweet potato & mango tacos with lava sauce. They were delicious. We had 2 orders, a beer & a maitai for $45.

Fish tacos were awesome! We had the Baja and the seared ahi, both had great flavor. The staff was super helpful on substitutions.

Celiac friendly?

No
