Miss Arepa - Lahaina, Hawaii

Daniela A.

As a Venezuelan living in Ohio, having some time off in Hawaii, I never expected to find a place like this in Maui! So happy to see a Venezuelan food place with authentic dishes, not the Americanized versions. Great flavors, it was hard to pick what to have. Definitely coming back tomorrow and every day while I am on the island. Try this food even if you are not Latin, you will love it. All the best to this little piece of home so far away. ❤️🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

Great food and good service! They offer plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, and it’s truly a paradise for anyone who’s gluten-free. They’re also open to customizing dishes — I ordered the Pabellón Arepas and asked them to swap the jackfruit for mushrooms and the plant-based cheese for queso fresco, and they were happy to accommodate.

We also tried the Cachapas — they were okay. But the Yuca fries? Absolutely awesome. And don’t miss their house-made salsa — it’s so delicious!

For drinks, we had the Chicha, which is kind of like horchata but much thicker and less sweet. I ended up adding half a cup of water to thin it out a bit. Their mango and coconut slushie was a hit with our daughter!

One of the best meals my wife and i have had on Maui. Good staff, very friendly and helpful. If this is what Venezuelan food taste like… i am hooked.

This is better than 5 stars. enjoy

Very friendly staff that is accommodating and already has a lot of great options, including vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free. Food is absolutely delicious and atmosphere is lively yet relaxed. Homemade salsas are fantastic and prices are very reasonable, especially on-island. Highly recommend giving it a try, especially the arepas.

Absolutely recommend this place! My husband and I got two Arepas, Empanadas, and the Frozen Mix Drink. The Arepas were delicious and they put a generous amount of filling in them which makes them a 10/10! My husband got the shrimp and I got the carne asada. The meat was so tender! The Frozen Mix Drink was so, so good! It’s a slushy texture and a blend of mango and coconut; it’s not aggressively sweet but rather tastes like actual fruit. There are also tiny coconut bits in it. If you like coconut and mango, this drink is a must! We will definitely be back!

I'm glad we finally checked this place out because it was great! It's small inside with a counter to sit at and a couple tables. Outside are a couple more. The woman working was really nice and patient as we indecisively stared at the menu. She's also the one that brings the food out to customers dining in. It seems like they do a lot of pick-up orders, too.

We decided to try a carne asada arepa, a kalua pork bowl, and an order of Yuca fries. The arepa was good, but I preferred the bowl. (I eat a mainly vegetarian diet at home, so the steak may have just thrown me off!) The kalua pork was fantastic and the fries were perfectly crispy. You get to use two sauces that were very good, and we also used some extra chimichurri.

While we didn't get a drink, they looked good and fresh.

We enjoyed two different arepas, meat based and vegan, and the yuca fries. Both sauces are wonderful. Drink options are great too, including non dairy milk options for coffee. Service was wonderful!

Food was amazing!! It’s presented so nicely and the workers are so nice! The arepa portions are good enough for one person. We added the plantains and were so full after. Also it’s gluten free if that’s something you’re looking for!
