Reviews
For the main, I went with the Burrito Supreme Chile Relleno, and wow. It came generously loaded with black beans, rice, a well-seasoned veggie mix, and their house-made red sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The chile relleno itself was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. Add in the creamy sour cream and fresh guacamole, and every bite had the perfect mix of spice, comfort, and freshness.
The portions were hearty, the flavors authentic, and the overall experience incredibly satisfying. Definitely a spot I’ll be dreaming about long after this meal.
Tiny little open-air spot at the busy intersection of Baldwin & Makawao. The interior fits the genre perfect with the Spanish decor, stucco walls and arched doorways. Its a bit cramped with table, booth & bar seating.
FOOD:
Makawowie Nachos
The chips were a mix of homemade and bought. Someone in our group opted for chicken to my dismay, but it was actually really, really good. And the toppings… Talk about a super generous overload! Globs of guacamole & sour cream, tons of cheese, olives & tomatoes. There was actually not enough chips – the total opposite of what you’d normally experience.
Chimichanga
It’s huge! I got the beef version which was shredded. Even though I’m a fan of ground beef it was still delish. Axed the rice. Came with beans and topped with shredded lettuce, sour cream & guacamole.
Fresh Mushrooms
An entire sizzling platter full of whole fungus done in butter and wine. Good taste, price and portion size.
Burrito Supreme
I am not ashamed to admit that I LOVE ground beef in my burritos, but that’s a difficult wish to be granted. I just prefer the texture of ground vs. shredded. This version is available with shredded beef, chicken, or a veggie taco mix, in which case I went with the beef. It’s a humongous portion filled with cheese, your choice of refried or black beans, rice which I omitted, and crowned with dollops of sour cream and fresh guacamole, and garnished with lettuce shreds and a pool of salsa all around. The flavor was mild, but just drizzle on some Cholula hot sauce and we’re good to go! I could only finish half, so the other half was saved for lunch.
Seafood Enchilada Dinner
The two flour enchiladas were covered in a sheet of melted Monterey Jack that were stuffed with generous chunks of firm ono fish and small, crunchy shrimp. Other compliments were fresh guac, beans of your choice (I got refried) and Mexican rice that pleasantly surprised me as I’m usually not a fan. It was a good portion size that even I couldn’t finish.
SERVICE:
No reservations are taken. Whether you enter from the front or side door, someone will assist you; just be patient and stand there. Our server was on top of everything and checked on us often.
Kiana made us feel Ohana by the end. So much so we ended up taking a picture with her
I recommend cowboy town for a little shopping but definitely stop here for lunch. Was the highlight of our Maui vacation.
The chicken quesadilla was also amazing.
Everything here is SO FRESH!
The chips and salsa are made from scratch every morning and you can 1000% tell the difference… WOW!!
Our server Danielle was fantastic as well. She was very welcoming, attentive, efficient, and sweet. Thank you so much Danielle! I will be recommending this restaurant to all my friends now and a lot of that is because of you!
