1. Ono Tacos
Ono Tacos in Lahaina is known for their delicious fish tacos made with only the freshest ingredients. Their homemade salsa is a treat in itself. On top of that, it’s so easy to get our hands on these fresh-made treats from their food truck. A convenience making it easy for diners to enjoy without even having to leave their car (really this is a bonus!) However, be sure you go prepared with cash as they do not accept card payments whatsoever.
2. The Fish Market Maui

Make sure to try the tempura baja tacos – they’re amazing. If you want something different, go for the fajita tacos instead. You really can’t go wrong with either choice though.
Price point is always important, and this restaurant offers cheap sides that won’t disappoint – think rice and beans, guacamole, salsa. Stopping by here during your time on Maui is a no brainer!
