Almost good

Fast service, similar to Chipotle. With a nice beach view. Vegetarian items if you make your own bowl/burrito. Cons: Veggies we 90% green peppers, no tomato salsa which was disappointing and chips were generic. Decent flavor overall but just not "good.

Burrito

YUM! Everything is labeled vegan or vegetarian or none, super helpful for making quick options for vegans and none vegans. Reminded me a lot of chipotle. Very delicious

Decent burrito

The service was fast, the food was good, and I got to sit and look at the beach while I ate. Definitely more of a fast food style option, but still a good option. A little pricey for what I got, however. I paid $28 for a vegan burrito and a regular margarita

Pros: View, Fast, Alcohol

Cons: Price of alcohol, No vegan protein

Similar to Chipotle, but better food and more options

You can order an entirely plant-based meal here and the portions are generous. I'd probably share one meal next time. It's a similar ordering system to Chipotle. There are vegetable options, but no tofu or sofritas or anything of that sort. If I were them I'd get some delicious soy chorizo as an option.

Pros: Quick service even when busy, Vegans can eat here, Nice place with great views

Cons: No vegan protein options.

Tasty burrito

I got a mixed veg burrito.
Very tasty. Items are clearly marked as vegan. Double check with the sauces first though as these are not clearly labelled.

Pros: Tasty , Items marked as vegan

Cons: Sauces not clearly marked so check first

Tasty burrito

Burrito was great. Be a little careful as even though I ordered the vegan burrito, they offered cheese (which was not a vegan cheese) and some of the sauces are not vegan which they will by default add if you want all the salad add-ins. The extra price for guac is not really worth it.

Pros: Tasty dress ingredients, Great location

Cons: Cost quickly adds up if you are not careful

Really tasting, pretty hectic!

Loved the food here but we found the staff a little abrupt and not the friendliest. Was pretty hard to hear, when ordering, very fast paced and got many funny looks from the staff when trying to understand the process! 😅 Otherwise the food was really delicious

Steps Up from Chipoodle

OMG was pretty good. It’s reminiscent of Chipoodle- pick a burrito/bowl/salad/nachos. They had veggies, beans, rice, salsa and guac- all vegan ands gluten free. Each item is clearly labeled vegan and gluten free, which i greatly appreciated.
The food was good, needs a bit more flavor and more vegan toppings. Also $3.50 for a small scoop of guac is outrageous.
The atmosphere is pretty cool but it’s really hot and humid and i wish they had a/c.
I like that they offer drinks and the jalapeño margarita was delish.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan/gluten free options, Decently priced for Honolulu, Fun vibe

Cons: No a/c, Needs more vegan toppings

Amazing Vegan Choices

They had two selections each of beans and rice that were clearly marked vegan ❤️
You could also add roasted veggies to any dish-tacos, burritos, nachos, taco salad or quesadilla!
Delicious 😋

Came back again

Really tasty basic vegan Mexican dishes. (Vegan options). You go through the line and tell them what you want. They had lovely looking brownies on the counter, but NOT VEGAN!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Basic Mexican vegan beans and rice and veggies!

Cons: Not fancy

Good value

Didn’t realise it is set up Subway/Zambrero style, where they make your order in front of you. Huge burrito bowl for $11 so excellent value. Food is pretty tasty and you can take away to eat on beach, etc. Not a huge number of tables. It is definitely in the cheap n cheerful category. Vegan option includes Spanish rice, bean combos, roast veg/tofu, guac

Pros: Affordable, Tasty, View

Cons: Basic decor, Nothing fancy, Serves meat

It’s chipotle, but that’s good

Went here as sort of a last resort. You’re pretty limited in what you can order, but the food is fresh/flavourful and the ambiance/seating is very nice.

Great food with a view

Everyone was so nice here. All of their ingredients have placards on glass shield indicating what is vegan and/or gluten free. Very easy to order without any questions.
They were steadily busy so getting a table at the window (seat yourself) may be a game of chance.

Pros: Vegan ingredients , Vegan pinto beans, View of the beach

Cons: No vegan cheese options

Good value, a bit industrial

Very busy in peak... burrito production line had 8 staff in it. Wholesome food at a reasonable price for Waikiki, but don't come here for a gourmet or romantic dinner.

Pros: Fast service, Uncomplicated

Cons: Noisy, Gets busy

Vegan options clearly marked on menu.

Expect chipotle-style Tex-mex burritos, bowls, and salads, which you order chipotle-style at the counter as your food is being made. The beans and rice are clearly marked as vegan. Excellent location across from Waikiki beach with an open-air feel. We sat by a window and watched the sunset sipping on frozen strawberry margaritas.

Pros: Vegan options clearly marked , Several vegan options

Chipotle style Mexican

Located on the second floor, with lots of labeled vegan options. They serve the food chipotle style where you go up to the bar and they assemble your meal in front of you.

Don’t go here

Bland food and staff acted like there were lots of vegan options as if having vegan beans and rice was rare and amazing. There are lots of places with vegan beans and rice. It’s nothing special. Having rude elitist staff that make it clear they don’t need your business along with inauthentic tasting food left me wishing I hadn’t checked it out. Don’t get “verde” salsa. Tasted like rotting warm pumpkin and didn’t resemble salsa. Everything tasted more Indian than Mexican.

Pros: Beans and rice don’t use lard or broth

Cons: No vegan substitutes of any kind , Least flavorful chips and salsa, Rude staff without any instigation

Yummy food

Came here on an empty stomach and was happy to try out what vegan options they offer. I got a veggie bowl and it was delicious the guacamole was the icing in the cake, if you will. Everything went together really well. I would however say that cilantro and lime rice didn’t quite the taste the cilantro and lime in the rice, but still yummy nonetheless. Would definitely one back!!

Pros: Vegan options labeled , Nice view

Cons: Not all vegan

Poor Food Quality

I had the rice bowl and it was horrible. The rice was gummy and clump together. No flavor to the rice. Had pinto beans and veggies, also in the bowl and they were not flavorful.The lettuce was wilted and brown. The only nice thing about this spot is the alcohol drinks and the beautiful view. The restaurant is directly across from the ocean and its a beautiful view while sipping a beer or margarita. I would have rather went home and ate a peanut butter sandwich than to have wasted my money on the horrible food they served.

Good Tex mex

OMG! Good TexMex - layout similar to Chipotle in that you build your burrito,bowl etc. both the black and pinto beans are vegan. Two kinds of rice brown and lime white rice. Good and filling food. Lots of drinks options beer, wine, margaritas.

3 vegan burritos, 2 margaritas, chips, salsa, guacamole and soft drink =$85 tip

Pros: Plenty of vegan configurations , Clean

Cons: Hawaii pricing!, Seems like it’s always full - hard to find seats
