The 21 Essential Maui Restaurants

"Owners Jojo and Eliza Vasquez pour their hearts into this laid-back eatery tucked away in a Napili strip mall. Pop in after a morning snorkel for bentos, burgers, or fried chicken bites. For dinner, it’s worth the drive to Maui’s upper West Side to sit at the bar, sip a hibiscus paloma, and watch chef Jojo put the last meticulous touches on his nightly special. After the Lahaina fire, he paused his exquisite prix fixe dinners, though that just means he has extra time to spend scooping delicate roe onto poached salmon filets and braising short ribs to perfection." - Shannon Wianecki, Bill Addison
