Guide to the Ka’anapali Lower Honoapiilani Food Truck Park

An exciting new addition to the West Maui casual dining scene, The Ka’anapali Food Truck Courtyard is located on Lower Honoapiilani Highway on the border of Ka’anapali and Honokawai. It’s situated across the street from a strip mall that houses a Times Supermarket, Java Jazz coffee shop, snorkel rental shops, and an array of convenience stores. A number of resorts are within walking distance, such as The Honua Kai Resort, The Mahana, and The Kaanapali Beach Club.

This is definitely one of the best food truck courtyards on the island, and it’s perfectly situated in West Maui for both residents and visitors to enjoy. It’s just a quick walk from a host of vacation accommodations: resorts, vacation rentals, and hotels. Here’s a great place for visitors to grab a meal that won’t break the bank, and allow them to taste the many unique flavors of Maui’s local food truck scene. 

Guests can enjoy authentic Mexican and Thai food, comfort meals like pastas and burgers, Hawaiian-style smoked meat, fresh fish plates, teppanyaki, traditional Filipino street foods, and other tantalizing options. There is even a dessert food truck for those who want to top off their meal with ice cream, sweet Hawaiian popcorn, or our favorite, traditional malasadas. 

This Maui food truck courtyard doesn’t have an actual address, so we suggest that you use Google Maps, 3350 Lower Honoapiilani Road, and keep your eyes peeled for lights on the ocean side of the road. A few of the trucks are open in the morning and a couple for lunch, but the courtyard doesn’t seem to truly come alive until about 5:30 pm. While some trucks sit in the park full-time, others rotate in and out, each with its own unique schedule.

To the best of our knowledge, we have put together a list of all the food trucks that currently reside in the Honoapiilani Food Truck Park, as well as contact information, and hours where available. Not all trucks take credit cards, so make sure to bring cash.

El Taco Borracho

Tacos | Huaraches | Tortas | Quesadillas | Burritos

Open Daily 11:00 am - 3:00 pm, 4:30 pm - 8:30 pm

El Taco Borracho is the only mobile taqueria in this Maui food truck courtyard, and we definitely understand why! There’s no way anyone could compete with the authentic Mexican menu and the super-friendly service with a smile. These guys are definitely on point! At El Taco Borracho, guests can order from a large menu of authentic Mexican offerings: tacos, taco plates, quesadillas, burritos, tortas, shrimp borracho plates, and yummy fish and shrimp plates. 

Their menu is very reasonably priced, and we suggest that you order a few things. The fish and shrimp tacos (pictured above) are delicious, and the shrimp borracho plate is definitely one of a kind. Here’s a Maui food truck that you’ll want to re-visit whether you’re a Maui visitor on vacation or a resident.

Thai Food By Suri

Drunken Noodles | Fried Rice | Pad Thai | Stir Fry

Open Daily 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Not only is Thai Food By Suri one of the most popular food trucks at this courtyard, but it’s also one of the most popular Thai food eateries on Maui. Suri’s menu is full of authentic Thai food favorites, and each dish is uniquely prepared with fragrant and flavorful spices and locally grown ingredients. 

Thai Food by Suri’s menu is large and includes a host of tasty Thai choices like starters, salads, soups, rice plates, noodles, and signature dishes. The Drunken Noodles are their most popular item, but other fan favorite items include the Papaya Salad, Spring Rolls, Tomyum, Drunken Rice, and the Stir Fry Opakapaka and Ginger. 

Da Food Anchor

Gyros | Pasta | Burgers

Open Daily 11:00 am - 8:30 pm

Da Food Anchor is operated by the same owner as El Taco Borracho. Just like their taqueria, this food truck is delicious, consistent, and full of menu items that everyone will enjoy. Da Food Anchor is like the ‘comfort food truck’ of the courtyard. Guests can order familiar menu options like appetizers, salads, gyros, pastas, sandwiches, and burgers. We also love the healthy portions, how they support local Maui farms throughout the menu, and the easy-going price points. 

Favorite menu items at Da Food Anchor include the Crispy Calamari, Lamb Gyro, the Broke da Mouth Burger, and the Shrimp Alfredo (pictured above). 

Hooked

Seafood | Poke Bowls | Mahi Mahi Sandwiches | Fresh Fish

Open Daily 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Hooked is the premier fresh fish plate food truck at the Ka’anapali Food Truck Courtyard! Here’s where residents and visitors can taste the many flavors of Hawaii’s oceans with unique and healthy preparations. 

Firstly, all fish plates are served with your choice of white or brown rice. The menu has 10 options, and they’re all custom-designed to savor the flavor. We love them all, but here’s an idea of our top picks from the Hooked menu. The Thai Dragon is shrimp marinated with red curry, lemongrass, and ginger. The Fish & Chips feature fresh Hawaiian Mahi Mahi tempura served with a citrus dipping sauce. The Poke Bowl (can be ordered spicy or not) is fresh Hawaiian ahi tuna mixed with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, Maui onions, green onions, and sesame oil. The Spicy Poke Bowl is served with a tasty chipotle aioli. Finally, the Fish Tacos (pictured above) are made with locally caught Hawaiian mahi and spicy pineapple avocado salsa. The avocado dressing is served on the side, so if it is too spicy for your liking, you can easily leave it off. 

You definitely can’t go wrong at this Maui food truck. Their food promises that you’ll be hooked, and back in no time!

Paniolo

Prime Rib | BBQ Ribs | BBQ Pulled Pork | Roasted Chicken

Open daily 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Maui’s Paniolo BBQ food Truck is where Hawaii and Western-style BBQ find a happy home. Here is where guests can taste traditional local-style Hawaiian foods prepared in a traditional, yet unique BBQ fashion. When ordering at the Paniolo BBQ, first you decide on the protein, then a hot side, and a cold side. This spot has rotating specials like loaded fries with BBQ pork, pineapple salsa, and chipotle aioli, as well as some unforgettable BBQ sauces. It’s lip-smacking good!

Favorite menu items include Huli Huli Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Pipikalua Beef. We definitely suggest that you hit up this BBQ food truck early so you can order some of their signature dishes before they sell out!

Aloha Sweets

Ice Cream | Boba Tea | Popcorn | Malasadas

Open Daily 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Whether you’re craving something sweet after your meal or you’re in the mood for a midday treat to take to the beach, if you’re in Ka’anapali, Aloha Sweets is the place to go. Grab an ice cream cone, sweet Hawaiian popcorn, or our favorite, traditional Malasadas.

Malasadas are deep-fried donuts that came to Hawaii with Portuguese plantation workers, and are typically prepared using egg, butter, and evaporated milk, giving them their unique taste. Once fried, they are rolled in sugar, leaving an almost crisp, sugary exterior and soft doughy center. Make sure you grab a dipping sauce like lilikoi or mango to eat with them, or turn your donut into a sundae with ice cream and syrup on top! You’ll also find a few flavors of boba, fried ice cream, and lemonade on the menu.

Da Best Pho and Vietnamese food

Pho | Bahn Mi | Rice & Noodle Dishes

Open Monday - Saturday from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Place a phone order for pickup: (808)446-9088

Previously named Lahaina Ba-Le, Da Best Pho & Vietnamese Food Truck has been serving up traditionally made Vietnamese cuisine for over 23 years. From fresh rice paper and fried egg roll appetizers to tasty banh mi sandwiches served on toasted French bread and savory pho noodle soup with ten different meat options, this small family-owned food truck has it all. Their menu also offers numerous noodle and rice dishes as well as an extensive vegan and vegetarian menu, making it easy for everyone to find something delicious!

For those in the mood for a brothy, fragrant soup, we love the Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef and pork noodle soup) if you can handle some spice, and the Wonton Soup with Egg Noodles, which are only available on occasion, so make sure to try it if they happen to have it when you visit. Otherwise, we recommend the BBQ Pork Banh Mi Sandwich, Kimchee Fried Rice with Short Rib, or the Sesame Korean Chicken.

The vegetarian and vegan dishes won’t disappoint either. We love the lemongrass tofu or eggplant with vermicelli noodles, as well as the Tofu Pho with vegetarian broth.
