Lots of different types of cuisine to try out. The food truck park would be on Piikea Ave. Check out Vidad’s Local Kine Grindz and other local grindz around. (Our favorite truck, Abikis had to shut down because of slow tourism :( )
South maui gardens park also have lots of good choices. Located on Alahele Pl.

High quality food in a food truck setting. They now have really unique and zen seating areas among tall red palm trees. You can walk through the nursery (closes at 4pm) towards another food truck area.

Coconut's Fish Cafe
1279 S Kihei RdWe love their Ahi burger and grilled Mahi plate
For a more upscale dining experience, and dishes using local ingredients. They are also very famous for their Mai-Tai. The wait line can be very long so make sure to show up ahead of time.

For best fish plates - we like their Blackened Cajun Mahi-Mahi and Ahi plates. There could be a long line around lunch and dinner time, so make sure to get there early!

If you're looking for the BEST poke on the island! Their stand is at the very far back of the store. We usually get their Spicy Ahi Poke, Shoyu Ahi Poke and Salmon Lomi to eat with freshly cooked rice at home... yum... they do also sell ready to eat poke dishes.
