Unko Maui's bringing island-inspired burgers to Deco District
Unko Maui's, a food truck known for its island-inspired bites, is setting down roots with a new brick-and-mortar location in the Deco District.
The latest: The restaurant takes over the former Fredericksburg Road home of Deco Pizzeria, which closed last year.
The grand opening is from noon-8pm Saturday.
Dig in: The menu features unique burgers, including a twist on Loco Moco — a classic island dish — along with options featuring teriyaki chicken and pineapple.
It'll also have a dessert bar for guests to build custom ice cream orders.
The menu ranges from $5 for an a la carte burger to $13 for a burger, side and a drink.
The vibe: Guests can look forward to events like Aloha Fridays, complete with hula performances during the summer.
While the restaurant will be open until 1am, it will not serve alcohol.
"We really like to focus on creating a family-friendly environment," owner Mike Suarez tells Axios.
Zoom out: Unko Maui's is a companion restaurant of Maui's on Main, a popular downtown-adjacent spot that debuted exactly one year earlier.
What they're saying: Unko Maui's aims to strike a balance between quality and affordability.
"With prices on everything being so high now, we want to provide affordable meals so people leave full and happy," Suarez says.
