😠 SUPER bland burrito. The rice was hard and the beans were barley cooked so they were crunchy 🤮. There was no flavor at all. I had to drown the burrito in Taco Bell sauce for flavor but not before having to remove all the beans from it. I used to come here once in a while and every single time it's... People often mention burrito, Chipotle, good, rice, great,

    SUPER bland burrito. The rice was hard and the beans were barley cooked so they were crunchy 🤮. There was no flavor at all. I had to drown the burrito in Taco Bell sauce for flavor but not before having to remove all the beans from it. I used to come here once in a while and every single time it's been pretty bad. Tonight just reminded me of why I don't ever come here LOL. I'll never come back even if I'm starving to death like I was tonight

    Build your own burrito/salad/taco/quesadilla/bowl. Choose your meat. Choose your rice and beans. Choose 2 salsas. Choose your veggies. Simple and straightforward. Staff is friendly. Lots of seating. Parking is hit or miss...but realize they share the lot with a few other businesses. Get your Mexican fix....and if you’re a Kama’aina, get 25% off all day Thursday! Salud!

    Great place to hang out and eat food fresh, made to order. Quick service and knowledgeable staff. Parking could be an issue but spacious seating inside. I love, love, love their churros!

    These are the best "bang for your buck" when it comes to the Mexican genre of food! Fresh ingredients and plenty of options to get your dish exactly how you want it. The burritos are MASSIVE and delicious!

    Best authentic tacos and burritos in Oahu area. Service is quick and the price is unbeatable. One visit will have you hooked.

    Giant roasted vegetarian burrito for 10 bucks served fresh and with a smile in Kaimuki. Enjoyed it and will go again. No wait no line.

    The girl helping us didn't seem to pay attention after asking what kind of rice we wanted. Gave me the wrong rice I reminded her and got it switched. I had to re tell her things several times necaise she seemed to kept forgetting, she was semi rude about it. Sat down to realize after asking if we wanted cheese on nachos she totally forgot it. I've been trying to find decent Mexican food on island and this isn't it unfortunately. Rice was a bit dry, tacos are on flour tortillas and were fully covered on grease from the meat . Braised beef was decent just very greasy.

    I ordered the burrito with steak. The steak tasted like charcoal but that was a poor choice on my part. I should have ordered chicken. It’s an upbeat hip vibe. The service was great and the portions were enormous. Would definitely go again but will get chicken.

    This is such a cute little Tex-Mex restaurant. My husband and I came in for the first time today and have already decided this is our new spot. They have options for vegans and vegetarians as well. The food is phenomenal and most of which was prepared in front of us. I prefer this now over Chipotle’s and Moe’s. We got the bowls. The prices were great too. The cashier was nice enough to inform us that on Thursdays they have 25% off.

    Finally got rid of my Chipotle itch I've been craving. Great food with an cool atmosphere with the hat lights. If you want a great burrito or bowl this is the place.

    I have been wanting to go here for a very long time now. I think that OMG has a reputation of being the closest restaurant Hawaii has to offer to "Chipotle." As a big Chipotle fan, I think that this would've been a hard expectation to meet, but OMG heavily exceeded my expectations! It's the same set up as Chipotle- that you can choose a burrito, bowl, salad bowl, tacos, or otherwise and they'll go down the line of fix-ins while you choose what you want inside (rice, beans, meat, etc.). I think I like the toppings offered more than those of Chipotle, the offerings of hot sauces, etc. The meats (and food in general) were all quite well seasoned (I got chicken + fajita vegetables). They also have a couple of more special/unique menu items that sounded very yummy and differentiated the restaurant from Chipotle (ie FISH TACOS?! :O). They also offer Margaritas/I believe a couple other alcoholic beverages- which I thought was awesome. I got a salad bowl, my boyfriend got a chicken burrito, and we also shared a small side of chips + salsa. We both really enjoyed our meals. The service was excellent. The young lady who made our food was very sweet and friendly. The guy working there was also super cool and nice! Our meals were quite a reasonable price, as well. Had a great experience here and I assume we will definitely be regulars at the restaurant in the future!

    Beers, burritos, and carne asada fries of amazingness. Very good salsas as well. They need a Taco Tuesday and a happy hour!

  • 4/5 Shrinivasan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it. Tasty salsas. $3.50 for guac seems very expensive and they offer only 2 free sides

  • 3/5 Joe M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's ok for Mexican food in Oahu. It's kinda like Chipotle but more expensive.

  • 5/5 Robert E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for burritos in Hawaii. Probably as close to having a Chipotle as we'll get. Good taste, fair amount for the price, and fast service.

  • 5/5 G P. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a staple, always in the rotation of places I can’t go too long without! Healthy, taste is great, staff is always on point and friendly! What else can you ask for!? And they have beer and margs! Dolce de leche brownies pft forget about it! This place is heaven

    The food was amazing. Also, they have great taste in music. I'm definitely going back!

  • 5/5 jgmisowns j. 2 years ago on Google
    Best burrito on the island. The hot sauce was just so good; I mixed the green and hot red. The rice and beans are fresh. The best part though was the chicken. They grill it perfectly and I love the fine bits of char. It was delicious.

  • 4/5 Jminor C. 1 year ago on Google
    As someone who has frequented this food establishment with an appreciation for food with clean ingredients been on island going on 3 yrs Revolving door of staff which is just a thing directly impacts the (Quality of Service) received.

  • 5/5 Sandra M. 2 years ago on Google
    So easy to order online, and it's ready for pick up! Tasty and always hits the spot! I'm never hungry after eating a burrito here!

  • 4/5 Jason M. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff 5 🌟, cleanliness of establishment 5 🌟, cost 💰 4 🌟, taste 4 🌟, experience/atmosphere 4 🌟 This is similar in business model to a Qdoba or Chipotle. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by the staff. They promptly took our order. The kitchen area was clean and so was the dining area. A very small dining area. The cost is a little better than average for the amount of food you receive. The flavors are good. However, something seemed like it was missing. There was not enough of something and I don't know what. Overall my experience was good here. If you are looking for a healthy fast food, Mexican style, give this a try. Note: Parking is EXTREMELY LIMITED/ TIGHT

  • 4/5 Brian B. 2 years ago on Google
    Way better than I anticipated. The kalua carnitas is amazing, probably the best carnitas I've had in me l my life and I'm from Texas!

  • 5/5 Emma F. 3 years ago on Google
    Very affordable, with such nice staff. They had my to go order ready and packaged. It was so good!

  • 4/5 Robert S. 4 years ago on Google
    As a first time going here with a friend: it was pretty good. The Nacho's were a pretty good size and chips freshly made. Parking can be a challenge here. There is a small parking area directly in front of the restaurant, a few spots around the building and a pay lot across the street.
