Maui Tacos Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

MAUI TACOS opened in 1993 as a surf shack on Maui serving traditional Mexican food fused with an irresistible Hawaiian accent. The original menu was created by Hawaiian celebrity chef Mark Ellman who labeled his original creations Maui-Mex. At first the clientele was local, but as its reputation for bold and unique tastes and exotic flavors spread, pro-surfers, island hopers and jetsetters crowded in. Today it's said that "you haven't been to Maui if you haven't eaten at Maui Tacos".

The MAUI TACOS concept is simple - fuse the bold tastes of Mexico with the exotic flavors of Hawaii, serve everything fresh, healthy and in a cool, laid-back atmosphere, and always in the spirit of Aloha - or what we call "Mauitude".

Chef Ellman's tropical twists include our Signature Maui Tacos Fish Tacos, Pacific Rim Style Salads, our authentic Hawaiian BBQ pork burritos, Tortilla soup and the "Greatest Salsa Bar Ever Created." We provide fresh, healthy, mouth-watering Mexican cuisine that is 100% trans-fat free, never uses lard and includes many dishes that are recommended and featured on healthydiningfinder.com. Nutritional information is posted on our front counters and we are proud of the fact that Maui Tacos is a "***** restaurant with fast casual prices" place.

Traditional MAUI TACOS restaurants, where eligible, have and will have liquor licenses serving beer, wine and Island drinks.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
