Geste Shrimp Truck

Top choice in Kahului


Beside Kahului Harbor, this small white food truck, emblazoned with a giant shrimp, serves the tastiest shrimp on Maui – maybe even the world! A dozen cost $15 and you'll get a scoop of crab mac salad and rice to go with them. At research time the owners said the truck would move to Food Truck Park in the future.

It's a messy meal, so bring something to wipe your hands on, don’t wear white and don’t eat in your car! Nearby Maui Nui Botanical Gardens has picnic tables.
