Every Wednesday night at Maui Country Club in Spreckelsville, the Mexican food is plentiful. Sitting down is optional. And slippers are very much welcome!

“It’s a fun social night, more of a get-together; casual club atmosphere, definitely not a sit-down dinner,” says Maui Country Club executive chef Sean Christensen.

Cantina Night runs 4:30 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays; get a sampling of what it’s all about in our video above. The menu includes tacos and tostadas dressed up in a number of ways, alongside housemade salsa, pico de gallo and guacamole. The bar is also cranking out drinks and cocktails, including the famous Nanirita.

“It is a margarita that’s been around for a long time: Patron, li hing mui rim; it’s fantastic,” smiles the chef. “In fact, I think more people come in for the Nanirita than the food, but I’m okay with that!”

Maui Country Club, known to many members as the “un-club” for its open, friendly, relaxed atmosphere, prides itself on using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible on the menu. And that menu varies depending on the day!

“Every night’s different at the club,” says Christensen. “We’re revamping breakfast, we have a great lunch menu, we launched a new F&B (Fish & Burger) menu, we do Adult Dining on Thursday, then Friday is Aloha Friday got all the families in here; it’s a fun night!”

Other member activities at the beachside location include golf, tennis, pool play, yoga and a multitude of social events and family-friendly gatherings. Learn more at the Maui Country Club website.
