A Culinary Collision on South Maui

Tucked away in the heart of Kihei, Mexirican Mix bridges the gap between two vibrant culinary worlds. This unassuming spot is where Mexican staples meet the bold, island-inspired soul of Puerto Rican comfort food. It’s the kind of place where the air is thick with the scent of slow-cooked meats and sizzling garlic, drawing in hungry surfers and locals looking for a substantial plate that feels like a home-cooked meal.

What to Expect on Your Plate

The menu leans heavily into the fusion concept, offering everything from hearty burritos to authentic mofongo. You will find that the portions are generous, designed for those who have spent the day in the sun and need a serious recharge. Their signature approach involves balancing the smoky heat of Mexican spices with the savory, plantain-forward profile essential to Puerto Rican cooking. It is a no-frills environment, so don't expect white tablecloths; instead, prepare for high-flavor food served in a casual, straightforward setting.

The Local Experience

Being located along the bustling South Kihei corridor, the vibe here is distinctly laid-back. The seating area is compact, which gives the space a communal energy during peak lunch hours. Be mindful that parking in this part of town can get tight, so plan your arrival accordingly if you are hitting the nearby beaches later in the afternoon. Whether you are grabbing a quick lunch to go or sitting down to enjoy a plate of their seasoned rice and beans, the focus is squarely on the food rather than the fanfare. If you are craving something beyond the typical island fare, this fusion shop provides a necessary shift in flavor profile right in the middle of Maui’s southwest shore.

Most amazing birria tacos ever! They take pride in what they do and they do it very well! We’ve eaten here a bunch and have never had a disappointing experience, consistently good. We also love the birria taquitos. Friendly service and they have a nice shaded area with picnic tables. Still the best place on the island for delicious tacos and burritos! Stopped by and had a carne asada burrito and some birria tacos tonight. Thanks Joey!!

We were staying nearby, and tried this place for dinner. We had the burrito, birra tacos and the empanada. Everything was so good we had to come back the next night again. The lady who served us both times was very accommodating, lovely and I felt so much warmth from her. Would highly recommend anyone to come and try this place.

Not usually a review person, but after returning for our second meal, I must. Highly recommend the birria taquitos, crunchy, hot, savory, fragrant, delicious. Arguably best food truck at south maui gardens. Satisfied every craving, steak burrito was delicious as well! Seriously the best food stop we made this whole trip. The owner is also super kind, and you know it’s a good sign when staff from other food trucks are coming to him standing in line for lunch!

The best tacos I have ever had and I’m over 60. I had the three Birria tacos and they were just the best! Very reasonable prices, if they charged double it would be worth it. A+++!!

We always get extra and the service is top notch. Our favorite for sure out of all the other places we have found. Look no further, you have found you spot for the best food on Maui!

The guy running the truck was super sweet and took time to recommend and explain the food options for us! We got the Birria taco plate, a chicken burrito, and an empanada, and it was all amazing! The meat was tender, the burrito was packed, and the salsa was a refreshing kick! I would definitely recommend this place!

We shared a chicken burrito and cup of street corn and it was delicious. Not greasy at all and made fresh. There’s ample seating to enjoy or you can take it to the other food truck area to enjoy! The guy working was really kind too!
