As the most isolated population center on earth and a true melting pot of cultures, the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the world’s greatest cuisine. But in order to taste some of the most mouthwatering food Hawaii has to offer, you must be willing to leave the resort areas and check out local restaurants. Nestled off the main drag in Paia, this eatery is colorful, quirky, and eccentric.

Welcome to Cafe Mambo! Housed in a bright pink building with yellow shutters on Baldwin Avenue just off the Hana Highway, it’s hard to miss this funky restaurant.
