If you’re a traveler on a budget who wants to get the most out of your Hawaiian experience, these local favorites for cheap eats are perfect for your trip!
For breakfast…
The Kihei Cafe is well-known for wallet-friendly meals and very large portions. Enjoy some banana and macadamia nut French toast with coconut syrup or a unique breakfast burrito. With a wonderful open-air setup, you can enjoy the sun while you eat.
At Java Jazz & Soup Nutz, you can enjoy their wide range of coffee and espresso drinks as well as a Hawaiian style omelet with a signature smoothie!
For lunch…
As the New York Times raves, Aloha Mixed Plate is “paper plate meets million dollar views.” Two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad are traditional plate partners with Kalua pig, Lomi Lomi salmon, or coconut prawns. If you want to fit in with the locals, this is the place to be.
At Maui Tacos, you can experience the fusion between Mexico and Hawaii in their deliciously unique dishes. There’s mango chicken salad and fish tacos with their signature pineapple salsa along with all your traditional favorites.
For dinner…
If you’d like to mingle with the locals, Lahaina Coolers is known to attract the hip local crowd to its colorful bar. With excellent vegetarian and vegan selections in addition to the regular menu, this is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Get ready for Sushi Go’s fast-paced conveyor belt sushi. All freshly made, watch delicious meals go by and snap them up when you find one you like! With traditional sushi favorites, Sushi Go also serves their own specialties of Ahi Poke, Lomi Salmon and Tako Poke. There’s ever all you can eat sushi every Wednesday from 4-8 pm.
