    After some errands at the mall and about ready to head home, I decided I wanted to try some place new and easy to get takeout. Moe's seemed like a great choice, I had never tried this location before. There aren't many locations in Hawaii, but this is an easy one in the upper part of the mall, which has an internal and outdoor entrance. They have a bunch of indoor seating, and also offer takeout and delivery. It's a simple setup and the people working there were immediately friendly when I went inside. The menu is easy, choose your format and protein, sides. They have some popular choices or just do your own thing. Prices are reasonable, with a few up charges for guacamole and other toppings. I got a burrito, which was filled. They have a salsa bar with three choices; I tried each and loved them all. The food quality was tasty with fresh produce. Overall, for a chain restaurant in a mall, this is exactly what I was looking for. Delicious, great value, and easy.

    First time here and I have to say for the price..this place is good. The menu offerings remind me of Chipotle. It seems the homewrecker is most popular and filled to the brim with toppings. We ordered a bowl and kids meal. The bowl with beef, beans, steak, veggies was good and I feel like it's enough for 2 people. The kids meal offers several choices of which we had the quesadilla which comes with a drink and chips..all of this under $10. So good! Interior was not cleanest so we did take out. Servers were super nice!

    I ordered their nachos through Uber Eats. It took an hour before an uber driver picked up the food because they forgot to let Uber Eats know that it's ready for pick up. When I received my order, I opened the plate and a fly flew out! I checked the food and found egg flies!! So disgusting. I've been waiting 1.5 hour for my food to arrive only for it to be wasted cause there's fucking fly eggs.

    Do you know how hard it is to get great Mexican food for a decent price here?! Well no need to worry because Moe's is the place to go! I ordered a salad and my boyfriend ordered a burrito and to our surprise, our meal came with free chips and salsa! That's rare especially since most places offer it as a paid appetizer. They had a variety of different salsa options which I thought were really fun! The staff were really kind and there were ample seating options. Whenever I'm in the mood for Mexican food and I'm in the area, I'll definitely be stopping by!

    Steak Burrito with "double meat"

    Meat portions are tiny! They add a small small scoop of meat. Paid extra for more and it still seems to be not enough meat in a burrito.

    I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting the food to taste good. I got the kalua pig bowl and was ono! Service was nice the Filipino girl that helped me she was a sweet heart. Interior needs to be cleaned better or at least have napkins for others to use to wipe table.

    The horrible taco and the tortilla chips that were just carelessly thrown into the bag!

    This is place is such a rip off! $15 for a small, crappy taco. And the workers used their BARE hands to grab some tortilla chips and just threw it into my bag! Unreal. I will never eat here again!

    Located in Pearlridge Shopping Center this hidden gem is one that you could easily walk by. We decided to try this place because we were hungry and everywhere else seemed so crowded. So glad we got to try because this is to me the closest thing to a Chipotle. Every order comes with a bag of chips and they have different type of salsa that you can help yourself to. The workers were very friendly and the my are quick. Will definitely be back.

    First timer at Moe's, I had the Taco salad in tortilla bowl with chicken. It also came with free tortilla chips.

    My new favorite place! Their taco salad, burritos and chips and queso was amazing! Great food with great service! :)

    Chicken bowl with guacamole.
    Sarah M.

    The employees are friendly. Unfortunately the food is so-so. I had the chicken bowl and the guacamole was so salty I almost couldn't keep eating it. Hubs had the nachos and said the chips were stale. Probably won't go back.

    Was walking around aimlessly a couple weeks ago on a Friday night and decided to get a quick bite after shopping for some clothes for my daughter. This restaurant is located at pearlridge mall but it is so odd that you can't access the restaurant from the mall, you have to exit the mall then enter from their own entrance. Super strange, don't really understand why... I would classify this place as a more expensive Taco Bell but with better ingredients. This will have to do since Hawaii doesn't have chipotle, am I right chipotle fans?! Lol. We ordered nachos, it was delicious and very filling. Lots of people working so service was very fast. Restaurant was clean and staff was cleaning when there wasn't any customers waiting for service so tables were always cleared and ready for guests. They have the fully loaded Coca Cola machine that has a million options for drinks so I got to enjoy a peach Fanta which was a fun change from the regular boring options of sodas. I don't drink a lot of soda so it was nice to enjoy something different compared to most establishments.

    Taco Salad

    Yesterday, I went to get a Taco Salad. Girl put a tiny scoop of Ground beef on just the top part of the salad and some olives. Ordered this before and never had a bad portion of food before. Salad is about $15 or so.

We also ordered a side of rice, beans, salsa & salsa Fresca. I was shocked that my plays didn't come with any salsa, so it's a good thing I did an order of salsa. The salsa wasn't even spicy, it honestly tasted like the Tostitos salsa chip dip. They were very generous with the rice and beans. But they skimp out on the salsa Fresca. Literally was 1 small spoon in an 8oz container. I'm a big lover for Mexican food. Living in the mainland & moving back home, it's difficult to find anything compared to their. But this place idk I didn't really like it :( maybe I need to try it for dine-in and try something else on the menu.

But plot twist--I was wrong. I ordered the El Charro burrito and was immediately confused... because it was actually GOOD. Like, flavorful-good. Seasoning? Present. Taste? Alive and thriving.

You can go from strikes to burritos in under 60 seconds--efficient and delicious. Ambiance is a little on the compact side, like "don't bring your entire extended family unless you like playing Tetris with chairs." But when I went, it was pretty empty, so it actually felt chill.

We checked in for a table at 7 PM and were told the wait would be 20-25 minutes, which was perfectly fine with us. We waited outside the restaurant as instructed. After 40 minutes passed, we learned that our table had been given away. The hostess claimed a text was sent at 7:21 PM, but we never received anything--and we were only a party of two. If the restaurant relies solely on text notifications, it might be worth adding a backup method, such as calling the phone number provided or calling out names outside before giving away a table. Because of this mix‑up, we weren't seated until 8 PM, and the hostess never apologized. My friend politely explained the situation to our server and asked if anything could be done to make up for the inconvenience. The manager came over, but instead of greeting us or acknowledging the issue, the first thing she said was, "What's going on?" After I explained, her response was simply, "We are busy." She offered to comp only one drink--even though we were paying separately--and still did not apologize for the long wait or the mistake. We grew up eating at this CPK, so it was disappointing to receive such poor service at a place we've enjoyed for years.

A hearty eater would probably need four or five. Both wrapped together in foil. In fact, so small, that I told the guy at the window that I ordered two. Then he told me they're both wrapped together. He gave me both sauces - chili and green. I must say, the ground beef had a dry taste and texture. I added the green sauce hoping it would liven up the tacos. The tortilla shell was very soft too. Topped with plenty cilantro and onions (chopped small to my liking). Overall, the tacos turned out like how I expected. NOT a "Wow" first impression. I gave this place a 4-star rating because I'd go back if in the area. I used to like beef tacos from Taco Bell (before I discovered SOH's Birria Tacos). Service was pleasant and cordial.

When it came time to pay at the register. I let the girl know I had a gift card but wanted to scan my Subway app so I get credit for the order. She must have been fairly new because after she scanned it & I asked her if I just slide the gift card, she said, oh, I scanned it and it took payment off the app. I repeated what I had told her so she was trying to fix her mistake but being new, asked another girl to help her. The other more experienced girl walked her thru what she needed to do so they had to credit what was charged back on my card. After all this, then slid my gift card but it kept coming up with an error. I explained I've never used the card and had it for a year. Both girls kept trying but same issue so they had to call the mgr/owner. I explained the same thing to him and again, ran the card, with the same error message. I asked him if he could manually enter the bar code numbers on the register & he said no that I had to do it off the app. I asked him how do I do that? He said he didn't know. It was very frustrating & he was of no help. I ended up having to pay and not use my gift card. When I got home, I checked online the balance on the card & guess what? It was for the exact amount of what it should be. I don't know what happened on their end because my gift card was legit. It made for an unpleasant customer service experience. On a side note, the sandwich was better that what I had expected. Besides the deli turkey slices and veggies, it had stuffing that tasted like stove-top, and cranberry sauce which looked like ketchup but tasted like the real thing. It's worth a try.

My coworkers & I try to plan lunch get-togethers at this spot, but with our ever changing work schedules, it can be difficult. Anyway, enough of the backstory that you all don't care about... I was debating between the protein bowl and frybread taco. I can be quite indecisive, so it was no surprise that I couldn't make up my mind. I asked what they would suggest I order and they told me the frybread, which they mentioned it being very unique in comparison to other options on the menu not only for them, but for other establishments too. Since it's "no calorie Friday", the Friday where calories don't count, I figured I might as well get that frybread! I chose carne asada and got sour cream and guac, and their spicy salsa/sauce on the side (really good, but I can go spicier ). I didn't know what to expect because I didn't turn to yelp beforehand & there wasn't any pictures posted on the truck. So I guess you can say I was being very adventurous. An adventure I would go on again, I might add. We got there at about 130, well after the lunch rush & I am so glad about that! We waited no longer than 5 minutes for our food, which was fantastic! When I opened up the plate, my jaw dropped. The frybread looked amazing. I couldn't wait to dig in, but I had to wait because I had to figure out my plan of attack. It was huge! Was I gonna eat it like a pizza? Use a knife & fork? Fold it like a taco or chalupa? I ended up eating it like a pizza, but it was so much food... My hands got tired Hahhaha. I ended up using the knife & fork! I def think this meal coulda fed two people, but honestly... I finished the whole frybread on my own! No regrets! The frybread was fried nice and golden, crunchy outside & soft & pillow-like inside. It was topped with refried beans, tomatoes, carne asada (which was nicely marinated & tender), & the guac, salsa, & sour cream. Loco Lowe's is amazing. Friendly service & delicious food. It's even just a nice place to make new friends. Go there ASAP. Do yourself a favor, eat a whole frybread or share it with someone you love & enjoy it!!!
