This blue food truck with a Hokusai-style wave emblazoned on the side is one of the best on Maui. Located near the Haliʻimaile Distilling Company, it serves Maui-brewed coffee, delectable breakfast options – such as stuffed burritos with egg cheese, sausage, fried potato and green chili – and lunch plates. Get the barbecue-pork sandwich on a pretzel bun with pineapple salsa. Yum.
