Bowles Burritos

NOT A FAN OF MICROWING MY BURRITO because i ordered it wet. I like the many choices of filling options. I wish I was told about the special fillings of the day before I ordered because they sounded really good. I give three stars because I did enjoy my pork Verde burrito and the staff was very sweet.

The staff is always so friendly. The food is delicious and such huge portions! I always get the kalua pork burrito. Burrito’s are one of my favorites and this place is the best! The only competition it has is another small burrito place in Kailua right by Lanikai Juice but I always seem to prefer to go to Bowles! The atmosphere is just perfect!

Food is great, and there are so many choices. From meat to toppings, it’s yummy. The employees are awesome and very friendly. I bring my dogs in every time I come to eat and the shop owner has no problem with it, she actually loves my pups. Crumbled sausage breakfast bowl is the best!

Went there a few days ago. Doesn’t look like much when you drive by, small only about 8 tables. Food was great. We stopped in for lunch and each got a burrito combo with chips and a drink. Everything was fresh and tasty. I believe they told us after the 1^st of the year they would be serving alcohol and margaritas! Next time I am visiting family in Kailua I will be back!

Just took our kids here for carne asada burritos and nachos and paid over $ 60 for 4 burritos and 1 single layer nachos. Bowles Burritos prices are way too high for the quality and quantity we received. The food was so salty, even our kids complianed… they ended up tossing their food. I encourage the owners or cooks to check out some taquerias and/​or mexican food joints out in San Jose, CA to see how some real BOMBERS are made… and for only 6 – 7 bucks too. Good luck guys.

I was looking for an alternative to Chipotle since there is no Chipotle on Oahu :’(. Bowles is no Chipotle, but it’s pretty good. The food isn’t super fresh, but there is a lot of variety!

Bowles is awesome, good atmosphere and great prices! I just wish they would add queso to the menu, once they do that then they have 5 stars !

This place is the shiz… I’m originally from Florida, which has a plethora of burrito places to choose from and this place def. has the best burrito that I’ve eaten.

So so. Food not made on premises, I have a problem with that. So I’m not sure how clean the kitchen is wherever it’s made. Easy parking and easy location to find. The staff is awesome, very friendly and courteous. The food is decent, but not great. I grew up easting burritos from CA, AZ, MEX NM & Texas back in the day, so I know burritos. The food could be warmer, seems lukewarm to me. Cool vibe overall.
I like the atmosphere and that it’s locally owned. Doesn’t seem as fresh as Paniolo’s where the food is made on premises. Average food, but everything else was on par.

Went in on a Saturday night to grab dinner when we were craving Mexican (I know … there is none on the island that is good!) I was super excited to have a good burrito but I was disappointed :(The burrito was SUPER small and didn’t have much taste. I really wanted carne but they were all out by 6pm on a Saturday night. Dinner was more than it should have ever been and I won’t be returning to throw away more money there!

Great place for post surf munchies. It was my first time going here and i have to say it was wonderful!
I had the portoguese sausage burrito and lord ol mighty it was a party in my mouth! I normally dont eat burritos as much but this place has made me love them even more. Great service great food what else can anyone ask for? Cheers!

Very good burritos for a somewhat reasonable price. I had a pork chili verde with rice and beans, delicious.

It was alright, nothing to get excited over. I got the regular sized burrito, which was on the smaller size. Their bigger burrito looked better, after I saw someone order one, but it was almost $ 10. After we started eating, we heard them talking to other patrons and there were other condiment options we weren’t given, that we probably would have gone with.

LOVE the personal service and the dudes behind the counter couldn’t have been nicer.
The burritos themselves? Not heated well enough or thoroughly enough, and flavors were just okay.

I want to complain about the prices, $ 23+ for just two burritos, but I just can’t, I was too satisfied.
I ordered their regular (10in) burrito with carne asada (extra cost) with spanish rice and refried beans (you have the option of black). My toppings included cheese, onions, lime, and mild salsa. My additional cost items were sour cream and guacamole. The overall product was a perfect burrito.

Really nice people. Even gave us a bowl of water for our dog as we waited.
Burritos are OK. Your could line up the burritos from half a dozen places on Oahu and not tell the difference.

A little hole in the wall next to the bike stores was an awesome «stumble across»! Got the bomber burrito with Kalua pork and my son got the burrito bowl… absolutely delish!!! Kalua pork is phenomenal. .tastes perfect. I would ask they add corn salsa, but otherwise toppings were very fresh and yummy.
Service was good, cute ambiance. Nice reggae playing in the background. …nice article on the walls. Parking… like everywhere may be the challenge on a busy day. I’m here on a Saturday and it’s not crowded at all. Definitely coming back

As close to a Cali burrito you can get! And that my friend is a compliment!
The music was chill! Super great relaxing vibes & you can bring your own beer

This probably Kailua’s best kept secret. The bomber burrito served here was just fantastic, and it was so much better than burritos in any other Mexican establishments here in Kailua.
The décor of this restaurant really reminded me of the small places we would visit in Mexico. It made me nostalgic. The girls who work here are super nice. I will definitely be a regular here.

Right across from the Kailua police station. Hope that doesn’t make you nervous. Some free street parking right in front of the store. Otherwise no parking lot. Parking wasn’t an issue when I was there.
Venue: Simple shop in an older building. Out of the way location but I guess that keeps prices down. Several tables inside but it seemed like most customers were doing take out at dinner.
Service: A family run business according to the website. You pick the ingredients. There is a 10″ or a 12″ burrito choice. Choice of meats but they will do vegan with grilled veggies on request. Black beans are vegan. I was informed that the refried pinto beans have lard.
Burrito: I had the vegan regular size burrito. This was a pretty good burrito. The 10″ tortilla could have held a few more ingredients. With burritos size does matter. Bigger is always better. But really taste is the most important thing. I liked it but felt it was too mild. Big enough though, mild flavor and good textures. I had some fresh salsa at home and that added the extra flavor that made this a really good burrito. I’m rating this as 3.5 stars. I would come back and get one again. I gave Paniolo’s 3 stars. So this burrito is clearly better. I suggest getting some extra salsa to go.
Some people are comparing this to Chipotle but there is no real comparison. There is some magic secret at Chipotle that no one has yet duplicated.
So 3.5 Stars! I recommend Bowles Burritos.
