Mahaloha Burger was founded by Jesse Aguinaldo, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. After more than 24 years as a Chef and Executive Director of Operations in Las Vegas, Jesse returned home — inspired by memories of his father, a Chef at the famous Fisherman's Wharf — to share a taste of Aloha with the world.
