We had the steak fries and steak bowl, both warm and satisfying while out exploring Oʻahu. The steak was savory and well-seasoned, and the fries and rice soaked up the flavors for a comforting bite in the island breeze. The margaritas were simple but refreshing: bright citrus with a clean, cooling finish. We just wished for a bolder, Tex-Mex-style salsa for the chips. Overall, an easygoing, unfussy spot for a quick Mexican-inspired meal in Oʻahu--comforting, flavorful, and laid-back. read more

Our first quick bite in Oahu. It is like chipotle style. For vegetarians it's an great Option with so many. We loved the bowl, Burritos, quesadillas and there were so many vegetables. The salsas are Fresh and delicious. The customer service is incredible. It is a super cool experience with so vibrant colors. It is kinda hot as they don't have cooling system. read more

Da' hottie Margarita is my favorite marg on the island. This frozen bevy makes the smashed jalapeño's some kind of delicious! I recommend getting some chips and queso - we always get a small side of their super spicy salsa cuz you know I like it hot. The food is decent, kind of like a glorified Chipotle... I don't love their black beans as they are lacking flavor, but everything else I've had has been pretty good. Quesadillas are super cheesy as one would hope. I tend to add the carnitas to whichever bowl/burrito/quesadillas I order. The views of the ocean are gorgeous and the people watching is great. You get the street view of Kalakaua where all the pedestrians from all walks of life are walking by or crossing the street to get to the ocean. I love the people who work here too. Everyone is really nice and they do a great job of moving the line quickly. Shout out to Rosa who always know I'm about to order two frozen Da' Hotties and gets em going for me after confirming that's what I'm getting. read more

An Oahu version of Chipotle but better portions and more flavor. Everything was full and fresh, the meat has lots of flavor and they loaded up my bowl. Friendly staff. Fast service. Decent size inside with plenty of seating, and they even serve beer. Good location and upstairs. read more

I decided to check out the Oahu Mexican Grill while staying in Waikiki for a conference. They are on the second floor and their vibe is sweet. I shared my food allergies card and they were very kind about it and did their best to accommodate my dietary needs. I decided to eat in and ordered a Corona with lime and enjoyed the view of the ocean across the street. My food was delicious and I ate as much as I could. I noticed one of my food allergens present and ate what I could around them. The challenge of eating out witn food allergies is that there is no guarantee of having your food 100% allergen free even in the most diligent efforts. At any rate, I was happy with my meal. It was very tasty. If you happen to be in Waikiki, you gotta check out Oahu Mexican Grill. read more

This was so underwhelming :( The rice tastes like minute rice and it ruined the bowl. Disclaimer - I am used to chipotle and this was not even close to anything from chipotle. Chicken was pretty good tho And the view of the beach was 10/10 love the outside breeze Service was fine but the girl told my kids the hot salsa was mild and they heard someone tell me it was hot, and they wouldn't have gotten it if they knew it was hot. And now the steak bowl + guac was wasted bc it's too hot. Not thrilled to pay $17+ for a bowl he won't eat read more

Very reasonably priced outdoor café on the second floor, with an excellent view of the beach. Burrito is very good, stuffed full, steak was plentiful and very tasty. I recommend their hot salsa on it. Interior of the café is clean, but dated. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door, and ordered right at the counter. Bar made some great drinks, as well. I recommend! read more

Consider this place your Chipotle Plus: Amazingly delicious, ample food (so many left overs we bought 2 extra tortillas and they gave us foil to take). The service was SO great, the ocean view is unbeatable (totally got Costa Rica vibes from it being upstairs, balcony without the snobbery). Plus they were playing Fito Oliveras over their speakers, hands down a place I would visit over and over again. read more

Oahu Mexican Grill - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I would agree with the ratings as they stand for this place. The food reminds me of chipotle in a way with how you walk up to order and make your bowl or burrito then find a seat afterwards. During the day you get a great view of the ocean and beach since it's literally 5 steps away from the beach. They have a mini bar area in the restaurant but they only sell Mexican beers and margaritas which was a bit of a let down. Service is a bit slow and hard to get their attention when trying to get beers but otherwise it was okay. I got the steak burrito and the first bite was a bit tough with the meet feeling a bit overcooked but flavors were good read more

*Edit: Appreciate the owner replying about the salsa situation. I did see a few people ahead of me wanting salsa and then saying nevermind because they didn't want to pay extra. So they got Mexican food.. without salsa. - end edit* They charge $1 for salsa. Almost walked out but I was starving lol. So if you make a taco, burrito or bowl it's $1 extra if you want any salsa. $1 EACH, so if you're like me and want red and green that's $2. Never in my life have I been charged for salsa at a Mexican spot. Food is decent though and they're the only "Mexican" food around (more like a chipotle style where you go down the line and add stuff to your burrito/bowl. It just got awkward after awhile when the worker keeps saying "thats extra" as you choose your toppings. My total came out to $20 after adding salsas and guac (guac I get but for salsa cmon). Service was mixed as you go down the line. First girl was nice. Second guy okay. Last guy had a face where it looks like he didn't want to be there. And he wrapped my burrito super sloppy and wet with toppings spilling out. read more

Popped in for a quick breakfast snack after getting in some early morning beach time. I ordered the breakfast burrito with churizzo for the protein.

I would definitely visit again. read more

Recently went ln vacation to hawaii and found this place in Oahu, after trying many many restaurants this one was the most filling, yummy and affordable place to eat for my family. We went tjere a total of three times while we stayed in hawaii. My food was amazing. The employees there were soo so nice, my mom ordered some red chilaquiles and there were wayyyyy too spicy for her so an employee offered her some green ones for free withouth having to ask. There is very cute beach view from the restaurant. Its usually quiet with music playing in the background and it doesn't get too crowded in there! read more

Service is great! Limited menu, but fish tacos are good and flavorful. Gotta add that spicy cilantro sauce... yes it's pretty hot. The chipotle sauce is tame in comparison. I don't like black beans so pinto beans are an alternative add some salt and they are good! Rice I added the cilantro sauce and my throat is on fire. I might need another margarita read more

Oahu Mexican Grill - Pretty tasty! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Here again! Ordered their chicken enchiladas special and boyfriend got the carne asada and burrito. Both were delicious! We also got the carne asada fries. Loved that the fries were super crispy so it didn't get soggy. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned. Service was great. Orders were done correctly. Very casual atmosphere. You come in, order your food, they give you a number, find your own table and the food is served to you. One thing I noticed is that they put a net over the windows so the birds and bugs can't come in anymore. Nice place to have a meal. read more

Went to Oahu Mexican Grill at 2520 Kalakaua Ave for Breakfast this morning. This was our first visit. The sign says Loco Moco, waitress says we discontinued that. So we ordered the boring breakfast and the local fried rice and two coffees. The coffees were whipped espresso and Coffee Cocoa. I can honestly say we will never return here again. The coffee was supposed to be hot and it was cold. I asked for it to be heated up but they don't have a microwave. The one girl made me a new one. This is why I gave them a one and not a zero. The food was hot but not tasty at all. The ambiance is old school Hawaiian fast food sit down. Wife got an upset stomach and ruined to rest of the day had to return to the hotel. read more

Oahu Mexican Grill - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Nothing fancy here at the Kaimuki location. Unlike the one in Waikiki there is not much ambience, no views of the ocean or alcohol. However if you want a good burrito for take out, they exceeded expectations. You pick your own burrito ingredients from the meat to the sauce. Fairly decent prices for the food but the Mexican sodas are a bit pricey. We go here about once a month when we want delicious, filling, take-out for busy evenings. read more

If you're ever on Waikiki and need a break from the hotel and chain restaurants or Poke Bowls and Musubi, have we got a spot for you. OMG! No, that's the name OMG - Oahu Mexican Grill. They have two locations, we tried the one on the corner of Kalamaua and Ohua. There's signage, but it's upstairs and easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. This is the Hawaiian version of Chipotle, but with way more options. Tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, or pineapple-stuffed carnitas, it's all the Mexican food staples in a fast casual, order from the counter, customize how you want it, restaurant. They make it to order, using fresh ingredients, and the food tastes like it. They won't scrimp either. One order might make a couple of meals for a lot of folks. We have a high bar for Mexican food, and this place exceeds it every time we go. Tender meats, rice, beans, all seasoned perfectly, and flavorful salsa. Mexican food doesn't need to be over complicated to be good. OMG realized this and delivers a great product. Given this location, it's very touristy, but don't let that cause you to pass it by. The staff have always been friendly and willing to accommodate. Yes, you will pay a location premium, but it's definitely worth it. Just so you know and one day your children will know... when u get a burrito to go for ur hike a diamond head ... that burrito will be the highest a burrito has ever been and that's the night the lights went out in Georgia .... I mean Honolulu , lmfao read more

Oahu Mexican Grill - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Pros: -next to ocean (although view is somewhat obstructed by trees) Cons: - food was very bland. Like food truck or else. At first I thought it's a fast food joint. Definitely not high quality restaurant. -tiny water cups provided -staff was not rude but didn't go out of their way to explain their menu when we asked since it was our first time there. Very poor customer service. Nobody asked us to refill our drinks and when we asked for more water, waiter literally just showed his hand towards a water station. Kinda embarrassing. Overall verdict: -SKIP, unless desperately looking for very average fast food experience. read more

CHEW CAREFULLY! Stones in their beans. Most expensive burrito I ever had. $200 dental bill. CRUNCH!

Unfortunately this place did not meet my expectations. The red chilaquiles were spicy but soggy and did not have any cheese. The meat had no flavor and it cost $9 to add the steak so the total was $26 they also didn't have no avocado. The beans were horrible tasted like canned beans, I will not be returning here on my next visit. read more

3 stars because female registrar/servers were so rude but the food was tasty!! I would never come back though.

Walked in for breakfast. At first it looked empty but then we saw a few people at tables. Got a seat looking out at the ocean. Food was so good!!! Husband got breakfast burrito, daughter got Boring Breakfast and I got the pancakes. Food came out quick and hot! Ate so much and none of us could finish it all. Definitely going back!!! The atmosphere was very nice for breakfast. Looking out at the ocean. They had music on but not so loud it was a nice volume. So far I think it's our favorite Price was more of what were used to back home. Food, two coffees, and pineapple juice came to just over $61. read more

Friendly customer service, cool location, fun decor and nice views! The food was delicious, and yes those nachos are definitely shareable. But what I absolutely love most about this restaurant is the commitment to creating training opportunities and promoting independence for those with different needs and abilities, I didn't know that until we entered the restaurant and I saw the sign but I can tell you right now, had I known that before this would have made my list as a place to try regardless. read more

Oahu Mexican Grill (OMG) is a chipotle-esque restaurant located near downtown Waikiki. There's some indoor seating and the ambiance can be described as casual. The staff was a bit mean to my family and I when we were ordering and didn't have a good system for to-go orders. They packaged our food poorly and had attitudes when we asked for sauces on the side. The food wasn't that flavorful but was reasonably priced for the quantity. It's close to the hotels and is one of the few Mexican food options in the area. I wouldn't come back to dine-in or place a to-go order here. read more

Oahu Mexican Grill - Burrito bowl with steak, queso, corn, onions! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mexican food with an ocean view! This place is right across from the beach, on the second floor. So it's super convenient and has a wide variety of what meats and options. I got a burrito with half chicken and steak. Chicken was pretty. Appreciated that they had the steak beef, and it had good flavor, but the dryness of the meat was an overall negative for me. Was also a bit disappointed that burrito was lukewarm at best, and not well made so it fell apart after a couple bites. Staff were friendly and ordering was quick and super customizable. Overall it's a decent spot if you are craving Mexican food, but make sure you get up a fork. read more

If you're used to having Mexican food, like I am living in South Texas. Go here. I recommend. It models Chipotle making burritos and bowls. This place is Texan approved. Cuisine: Good Taste, massive Portions, no Presentation - it's in a foil wrap or hard paper bowl, and it Doesn't matter. Quality ingredients, Yes. Check, especially the steak, juicy, tender, done. I also suggest spiced food lovers ask for the spicy salsa. I did and loved it. Do get the queso. Fries are perfectly golden, crunchy and soft. Service: Super Friendly. We were greeted after reaching the top of the stairs and we talked about where we're visiting from. We had a quesadilla brought out that arrived Timely after we ordered. They were Attentive. menu variety. Could have corn offered as an option. Ambiance: it's upstairs on the 2nd level overlooking Waikiki beach. It's "Mexican beach" Clean. Orderly. Maybe a sandy floor and a wobbly table but don't Not go here because of it. Decor is Jarrito glass soda bottles repurposed as pepper and salt shakers atop worn wood tables and abused metal chairs. Lighting is whatever it is outside with the shudders open. Value: Pricing is average but you get what you pay for. No regrets. read more

Pretty good food, especially breakfast, but they are slow af and it takes 15-20 min to get your food, even when they aren't busy.

Terrible dining experience. It starts with their cafeteria style ordering process. Some guy standing over a grill tells you to order your food - and then you realize it's him you're supposed to tell what you want. We ask for chips/salsa (on the menu board) and he points to the checkout - apparently that's where we're supposed to pick them up. Beers (x2) were warmer - certainly not ice cold which they should be on a 84-degree day. Lastly, the open air is awesome but you might want to clear tables a little quicker to keep 10-12 pigeons from roaming the dining room. This place borders on needing to be shut down. read more

We enjoyed our meal here. Think of this spot like the Chipotle of the Pacific.... It's the same concept. Pick your style of meal (burrito, tacos, bowls, etc), and then pick the toppings to add on. We decided to share a bowl of the braised beef. Along with a bag of chips, it was more than enough for two people. Everything looked really great and fresh with the exception of the lettuce. I still added a little bit, but iceberg lettuce browns relatively quickly. Service was fast and friendly. And you can't beat the views from the dining room. We ate early (around 11:30) so it wasn't crowded when we arrived. By the time we left, there was a line forming. Including the tip, we spent approximately $30 for a bowl, chips, small guacamole, two cans of soda. For the price, I definitely would go back to this location. read more
