Tia Juana's Beach Cantina

The original Tia Juana's Long Bar & Grill has been a success story in Old Town Irvine, California for over 23 years. Now on Maui, Tia Juana's Beach Cantina is 7,000 square feet and is at the entrance to the world-class Ka'anapali Resort, right on the Kai golf course. Upstairs, the beautiful Beach Cantina looks over the Ka'anapali Kai golf course and features poplar and mango woods, ostrich-skin booths, giant lanais, and a large bar that is a visual feast for the eyes. Chef Marco Colin, originally from central Mexico, wows diners with centuries-old family recipes, daily hand-made tortillas, fresh ceviche, shrimp tacos, grilled romaine wedges with Ahi and pepita dressing, and savory entrees such as Steak Tampiqueno and spicy grilled Chicken Diablo. Downstairs, the Donavon Frankenreiter Margarita House is home to a spectacular collection of over 60 vintage surfboards and 40 classic guitars. The full bar boasts hand-crafted margaritas with fresh-squeezed juices, agave nectar and scores of premium tequilas. It's a late-night hot spot that serves food until well after midnight, including corndog and beer-battered jalapeno poppers, a succulent mound of carnitas and carne asada topped nachos, the island's biggest, best and juiciest "Donny Burger," and more! 2291 Ka'anapali Pkwy, at the entrance to Ka'anapali, (808) 667-4080. www.tiajuanas.com
