Food was good, but kitchen was a bit slow even with relatively few customers. Luckily the atmosphere was good even without the live band so it was not a terrible wait. Just maybe plan on enjoying the courtyard for a bit and don’t get stressed if food takes a while. It’s worth it.

The Empanada Lady restaurant is well designed and the owner did an amazing job renovating the space, and creating a one-of-a-kind experience on Maui for everyone who wants to feel joy and welcome in a real Caribbean family atmosphere! I love the ambience here. Sarah (the owner / chef) puts her heart and soul into the place to make everyone happy. She also has a full bar, and sometimes – on the right occasion – a full dance floor 🙂 The cocktails are great – I love the banana mama and lilikoi margarita and the empanadas are delicious. For locals, Sarah often has exciting events, parties, shows and catchy music that carries you away! I have so much respect for her in creating this haven and special sanctuary for friends, joyous occasions, and bubbly good times.

I love love love this jewel of a restaurant! It’s my new fave! I even called my bestie in NYC to plan her next trip here because of my experience lol! The decor and ambiance were so amazing and artfully presented, I wanted to lounge there all afternoon. My meal was so delectable and the portions beautifully abundant that I wanted to finish but couldn’t! I had the empanada trio with beef and pork and a side of rice and peas.. wow! I wanted to order so many other things on the menu so I’ll just have to go back again… and again! Treat yourself and go to The Empanada Lady!

Charming place. Loved the live music and eclectic art. The food was tasty. We were a party of 10. Of course, you have to try the empanada. Service was off but they are short staffed.

I went to this restaurant after a wonderful morning in Iao valley. The food was so incredible, and very affordable for the quality! The restaurant is beautiful and there is plenty of parking. We were waiting for our food, when completely unrelated to anything in the restaurant my daughter (3 years old) began to be ill and throw up on the floor. The staff was INCREDIBLY helpful and kind. They made me feel like a human and took care of everything we needed, cleaning everything up so quickly and with empathy and care. Then they got my food switched to take out and were just so understanding of the whole situation. 10/10 highly recommend for quality of food and quality of service. A family restaurant!

The best food in Maui! The authentic Jerk chicken is to die for and has a burst of flavor and spice on the back end, just like in Jamaica! (My family is from Kingston) rice flavored and cooked perfect with Plantains and a side salad. Also my first time trying Empanadas and they are delicious! Service & vibes all on point! Will be a regular! Thank you Empanada lady & staff!!!

Very nice local place. The owner and her daughter are wonderful people. We would have loved to try the rest of the menu but they had a Mother’s Day set menu special which included hula dancers and live music. The entertainment was great and the empanadas were amazing! Thank you for a wonderful experience and making our day extra special!

First time having dinner here, for date night. Our appetizer was the Empanada Trio and we chose the pork, beef, and adobo chicken empanadas – all delicious alone or with the paired chimichuri. Dinner for me was the Jamaican Jerk chicken with gandule rice and salad. His dinner was Chimichuri burger with fries. Dessert was a slice of guava cheesecake.
