now, across the world, you're sure to find something to satisfy your craving for exceptional Mexican cuisine.
Internationally acclaimed Hawaiian chef and restaurateur, Mark Ellman
first conceived of Maui Tacos from the lanai of his beachfront home in
Maui. With the persistent crash of waves pounding the beachfront shore,
he sipped a glass of mango iced tea, contemplated life, death and the
surfers waiting for the next great wave…. and the delicious Mexican
food he grew up with in Southern California and longed for in his new
home in Hawaii.
As the sun set on the Pacific, Chef Ellman knew what he wanted to do. He went to work and in 1993 he opened the first MAUI TACOS®
restaurant, in Napili, Maui. “I set out to create a restaurant fusing
traditional Mexican fare with the exotic flavors from the Hawaiian
Islands”. The successful result was MAUI TACOS®.
That first restaurant received rave reviews and was quickly followed by
several more locations on Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island. For years
Hawaiians, jet-setters, island hoppers and pro-surfers have brought
legendary stories of MAUI TACOS®
with them everywhere they have traveled and sure enough the concept was
finally brought to the mainland in 1998. And the legend continues today
as a sizzling hot concept with restaurants opening across the globe.
