    Steak nachos
    Hailley O.

    I've always seen Moe's when I go to Pearlridge but only recently tried it and I was kinda impressed! I ordered the nachos with steak and it was yummy! Definitely fulfilled my nacho craving at the time haha. I loaded it with toppings such as queso, guac, sour cream, salsa, lettuce and onions, cilantro and jalapenos. All the toppings tasted pretty fresh, the chips were nicely seasoned and crunchy and the steak was good. I do agree with some of the reviews on here about how the portions, especially for the meat are on the smaller side. My nachos were good but I don't know if it was worth almost $20 good. Other than that, the workers were nice and it was quick to get my food. Just be aware that it will be pricey for not a whole lot of food!

    Lunch at Pearlridge Center in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... I've been to Moe's Southwest Grill at the NEX (Navy Exchange) in Pearl Harbor, Honolulu Hawaii, but it didn't have its own dining-in area. This location of Moe's is in the Mauka (mountain side) or Uptown part of the Mall. It's between BRUG Bakery and TJ Maxx on the ground level. Inside, there are tables with chairs and booths. It's nicely air-conditioned! Service was helpful and efficient! A female worker assembled my bowl while a male staff handled the payment. I went down the line, selecting salsa, ground beef, guacamole, sour cream, olives, shredded lettuce, and cheese toppings for The Homewrecker Bowl. It was alright! I enjoyed the crunchy complimentary chips a lot! This was a convenient meal! I appreciated the free shared parking at Pearlridge Center!

    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"
    Talia P.

    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.

    Chicken taco salad with tortilla bowl.
    Raelene Y.

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

    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.

Said that we could sit at any open table. First time there, she gave us time to look over the menu. Good selection, one is ground beef which one of my dinning companion likes. Chips and salsa right off the back. Mmmmm. 1) Cheese Burrito plate. Very good. 2) Taquitos plate. Crunchy, not over cooked. 3) Tamale / taco combo plate. I loved that the taco didn't crack in half when I bite into it like some other taco places. 4) Ground beef chimichanga. All plates comes with Spanish rice and refried beans. Pros: Nice portions that would fill you up. Food came hot and fresh. Con: Maybe it might have been me but, I would have like more chip and salsa. There was only one server, so service was slow or maybe it was the kitchen. Not sure. I hate these 3% charge card when paying for your food. Would I go back? Maybe. It's close to where I live and it's not as crowded as other places that are more known. Parking is easy when I went. I like that my crunchy tocos don't break apart when you eat it.

Our son ordered the nachos appetizer as his main meal, my husband got the Mexico burrito, and I ordered the carnitas plate. I tried a bit of everyone's food, and honestly, we had zero complaints. Every dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The meat was tender, not overly salty or chewy at all. The guacamole was even creamy! To put the value into perspective: a few days earlier, I bought three carne asada tacos with very little meat from a food court in Waikiki, and they were only a few dollars cheaper than my entire, massive plate here. The pricing is incredible for the generous portions you get, making it a great budget friendly option compared to everywhere else we ate while visiting Honolulu. My husband even noted that he had never had Mexican food this good in the States especially considering Honolulu is so far from the border! He rarely raves about restaurants, so the fact that he's already talking about coming back makes this place an absolute must try.

Price: 2 birria tacos for $17 I get everything is expensive here but this is straight up asinine. Not for this sad looking plate with a dried wedge of lime. Is that supposed to do anything at this point This tells me management is profit maxing without doing anything else to make this into a remotely decent restaurant. Reminder to look into restaurants before going! We saw outdoor area and wanted to grab some margs and left with a bill we thought was the biggest waste of our money so far in 2026. Not to mention their roof leaks so you're not even safe from rain! I highly recommend Taco Bell or any local food trucks! ‍ gd I haven't felt scammed like this in a hot minute.

I had to pause mid-bite just to process what was happening. Location-wise, it's inside the same building as Aiea Bowl, which is honestly iconic. 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. Service? Quick and efficient. No nonsense. They got me my food fast, which I respect deeply because I was already emotionally attached to that burrito. Final verdict: 4 stars.
