    Similar to chipotle but tastier. The tortillas were favorable! Enjoyed my lunch! Staff was friendly and loved the open sitting with the windows.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious chilaquiles. Good portions and environment. Very close to our resort. Love it Recommend to try it

    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

    Breakfast burrito with chorizo. Comes with side of beans and rice.

    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. Churizzo was spicy, a little greasy, but in the burrito it was very good. The server was great. The burrito came with beans and rice. Overall, hood meal and good service. I would definitely visit again.

    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!

    It was a great location great vibe just not very authentic Mexican food. It was good, but kinda lacked a little flavor. Great place to have breakfast they have awesome pancakes and bacon. The kids loved it. The service was pretty friendly.

    Pretty tasty!

    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

    The size of the burrito is HUGE! It was very filling.

    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.

    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.

    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

    This is mango margarita. Yea, it looks pathetic.

    Is the elevator working?

    Yes it is

    Have they opened the large seaside windows and let you breath fresh air and smell the ocean ? Is there a TAco Tuesday with beer special?

    OMG is open air. I'm not sure about Taco Tuesday since it is inexpensive everyday.

    Can I make reservations ahead of time?

    No this place is like Chipotle. Step up and order from behind the sneeze-guard. No reservations. The line does get long though so be prepared.

    Where is parking? Do they validate?

    No, they don't validate. The best parking option is a paved parking lot area near the zoo & it's only $2. It's a short walk to OMG. Here is the address near the parking lot:… 

    Is this place even open any more?

My order was ready when I reached their food truck ... a few minutes after their stated pickup time. Open daily - closed on Sundays - from 1100a to 800p. Metered parking stalls are available on Cooke and other side streets. They have a small outdoor patio for dining.

The mozzarella sticks were perfectly crispy with plenty of cheese pull, the chicken tenders were juicy and flavorful, and the sliders were a great bite-sized treat. We also ordered the chips and salsa, queso, and egg rolls, which disappeared from the table quickly because they were all so good. It's rare to find a place where every appetizer hits the mark, but Chili's delivered. The drinks were another highlight. I tried the Frozen Flamingo along with the featured margarita special, and both were generously sized, refreshing, and well-balanced. Definitely a great value if you're looking to enjoy a cocktail with your meal. What stood out most was the consistency. Good food, great drinks, friendly service, easy parking, and a fun atmosphere all came together for a very enjoyable dining experience. Whether you're stopping in for happy hour, appetizers with friends, or a casual meal, Chili's is a solid choice. I'll definitely be returning and would happily recommend this location to others.
