Went down to Big Beach and came across this taco truck in the parking lot. My wife and I were kind of hungry so decided to get a couple of fish tacos. What a pleasant surprise. Wasn't expecting much but what great tacos. Probably the best fish tacos we had on the whole trip.

A delicious and quick way to get your fish taco fix. Also have very flavorful and tender pork carnita tacos--made with grilled corn tortillas. Worth tracking down the taco truck!

Jawz Fish Tacos are "just OK" I've had better fish tacos for a better price. It was not the best fish tacos I've ever eaten, however, the tortilla's were good.

We were driving down a road in Wailea and parked at the side was a Jaws truck and as we were all hungry we pulled over to have some fish tacos. The portions were fairly large ( you could order 2 or 3 tacos). We each had two and it was a very satisfying lunch.

Usually in Hawaii you do not find good Spanish food. This place is very good. The only negative is we came in some people had their dog with them, a big one at that. When I brought it to the attention of the staff, they asked them to leave. But seriously they saw the dog but ignored it. I'm not... More

Well, if you're a fish taco lover you have to try "the Jawz Truck" in Kihei!---Fabuloso! Jawz used to be in a small strip center, but, no more. Jawz is now a taco truck just down the street and across from the beach---you can't miss it, big and yellow with JAWZ scrawled on the side. I had the "triple fish... More

Gave the food truck a try at Kihei Fourth Friday. Unfortunately they ran out of nachos so I was forced to settle. Food: Steak tacos - Soft shell tacos are not my fave. Flavor was good. Forgot to ask for no cilantro-laced rice but the cilantro flavor wasn't detectable, thank goodness. Topped with cheese, lettuce, cabbage (WTH?!) and some kind... More

Jaws was the best fish tacos on Maui. We were shocked and so sorry that they closed last week. The food was prepared by a great chef and the casual atmosphere was our favorite. Great surfing videos of our famous giant 'Jaws' wave in Peahi and other world giant waves, great salsa bar, great background music, great decor, great drink... More

Went our first night for a quick bite and LOVED it! Large portions, everything is fresh, great condiment bar. I had the shredded pork chimicanga (deep fried goodness), hubby had a California burrito, kids had fries and quesadillas. Everything was so good we craved it again and went back later in the trip to order the exact same things. We... More

They closed the door. One of the few low cost, good food places on Maui. It will surely be missed. Jaws was named for the the large wave found in Maui. It reached up to 80 feet. They had a surf theme and a take all you want sauce and toppings bar.
