From sushi to saimin and Korean barbecue to Asian fusion cuisine, the Hawaiian Islands are undoubtedly home to some of the best Asian food in the country, but many locals would agree that access to scrumptious Latin food is a little trickier. But if you’re craving food with both Asian and Latin influences? Well, then, you should undoubtedly head to Cuatro, one of the most unique fusion restaurants in the Aloha State. 

Tucked away on Maui’s southwestern shore in the luxury resort destination of Kihei is Cuatro, a one-of-a-kind restaurant from a veteran of several popular kitchens on Maui, Eric Arbogast who has brought with him his favorite recipes and created a menu that perfectly mingles Latin and Pacific Rim flavors in a cohesive and delicious way.
