I mean...Qdoba, Chipotle...Moe's. Same idea, so it comes down to the little stuff. Moe's gives free chips with 'entree' sized menu item. Definite plus. However, there's no real soup options. As a proponent of both tortilla soup and the Mexican gumbo, I was a bit disappointed. Tacos were good enough. I'd go again.

Pretty basic build a burrito place. Good food. Seemed fresh. Pretty clean unlike similar places. Staff was pretty laid back and very patient. I recommend this place if you need a quick lunch that is a step up from basic fast food. The place was freezing through.

Credit must be given to the caliber of food. This is not a high quality burrito joint- nor is it a low quality Taco Bell type. It is somewhere between a chipotle/qdoba and a Taco Bell. What you gotta give Moe's credit for is the amount of options... Chicken, ground beef, tofu, steak, and pork. The only thing they are missing is fish/shrimp and that's a little harder to keep fresh. The burrito you get here is jam packed and the taste is pretty good. Ingredients taste fresh. Every burrito comes with chips, and my favorite is that the salsa options are numerous is free (like most southern burrito joints). Some may question a 4 star rating but credit should be given where it is deserved. Moe's is a decent Tex-mex option that gives consumers a lot of options on what they want in a burrito- also inexpensive- and lastly in a region where Mexican chains are not as prevalent as they would be in the southwest. So there aren't a lot of tacquerias and Mexican options. If you want something fast- it's either chipotle, qdoba, or Moe's. And Moe's is pretty good- I haven't explored all the options and meats but food there was a 3.5. Overall good experience.

Two great things going for Moe's 1) "Welcome to Moe's and 2) Queso. I've eaten soft tacos, nachos and burritos here. They give you a lot of options to choose from-black beans, pinto beans, different salsas, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and a few other things including proteins. They add chips to every order which is a nice treat. They keep the restaurant very clean and the employees are friendly.

Happened to eat at Moes because it was walking distance from my hotel. Food was bad. Had the Burrito Bowl with beef. Beef- chewy and bland. Rice - taste like instant rice but worse Salsa- Yuk. I tried 3 different salsas and didn't care for any of them. I live in Houston and am comparing this food to good Mexican food which is readily available where I live.

Still the worst moes I've ever visited in terms of cs. Its like they have slave labor working, the employees clearly hater being there! No "welcome to moes"; employees are very careless building your burrito and listening to what you actually want! Love the location, but hope they go out of business soon. Go to the market square location for an enjoyable and authentic moes experience. The Robinson location is just sad all around, cs, food prep, timeliness on food prep, and above all, the cs is the worst! No welcome to moes, with no line, its takes close to 5 minutes to complete your order. This place is a shame to the moes name! Send email to HQ to hopefully get then inline or revoked! Avoid at all costs! Visit their other Pittsburgh locations for a real moes experience!

This place has terrible food. I'm giving them 2 stars only because the people working there were friendly and helpful. That's the only reason. The food is totally bland, absolutely tasteless. It's like lunchlady-style ground "beef" with no flavor (other than that weird, undefinable "lunch lady" flavor), the rice has no flavor, the corn tortilla has no flavor, the salsa has no flavor, nor the rice, the pico, and even the tortilla chips are without salt. Ridiculous. And it's not even particularly cheap. Just really bad and really not mexican.

This is absolutely one of the best places that my family loves to go to! Every weekend we visit here at least once and it's always great service and great food. Is this Chipotle? No. There is a difference in that Moe's will season their beef and chicken with simple seasons (salt and pepper) and leave the flavors of the other ingredients to do the work. The other main difference is that the burritos are slightly bigger at Chipotle. Is this Qdoba? No. Since Chipotle and Qdoba were formed 2 years apart from each other in Denver, CO (Chipotle coming first) they are nearly identical. Moe's is different from them both due to the seasoning and allowing the ingredients to come together. Moe's also gives free chips and has a salsa bar that you can get different flavors from. We like going to Moe's because we are treated well and have always had great food. The execution of the burrito is one of the important factors and I prefer to have a place that will allow the fresh ingredients do the work rather than a marinade. Another reason we choose Moe's time after time is that they donate a lot of their proceeds to charity's that are important to us. Example would be JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) which is something the other places just don't do.

I hate to be harsh with Moes because I honestly like eating here, but it's just a quick fix when I want Mexican. Absolutely nothing jumps out at you when you eat at this place. The food is a bit too expensive for what you get and what you get is nothing special. It's not necessarily bland but is certainly cheap. They have a decent variety and good amount of options but none of what I eat here ranks as the best I can get anywhere. Also, I'm very annoyed by how they organize and name their menu items. They try to be cute, but it's really just obnoxious and not helpful. I mean, you tell me, what do you think of when you hear the term "Joey bag of donuts"? Do you think Burrito? If it was a Burrito would you have any idea what was on it? Dumb, right? The people are nice enough, no real complaints. But they aren't customer service oriented. They're fastidious to yell "WELCOME TO MOES" and other random unintelligible things at the right times, but getting me through the line and to my seat without annoying me. . . not so much. This is kind of a theme for them, they sacrifice being a restaurant for being an experience. The place is clean, but is often a bit cluttered and disorganized. There aren't enough trash cans and napkin stations either. One other complaint. . . they have TV's but they are always tuned to ESPN no matter what ridiculous thing is on. There could be a local game on another channel and they'll leave a screen saver on if that was what ESPN was showing. Dumb. One compliment. . . they have decent homemade tortilla chips and a salsa bar. Both are bottomless. Really cool. Also, they have one of those new Coke Machines that gives you over 100 options in pop. All in all, it's like going to Subway. Sometimes you crave it, sometimes it's just convenient, and sometimes you avoid it like the plague. If you know what to expect, it delivers exactly that and you won't be disappointed, but if you expect to be blown away. . . find another restaurant.

Moe's is like the Subway of fast food burrito joints. The food is alright and the value is good but there are so many better options available there is really no reason to eat there. If you need a quick burrito, try Chipotle instead. Their ingredients are much fresher, and the seasonings they use are way better too.

Note: I forgot to take down their hours, but I do know that they were open until 9 P.M. And we barely got in under the wire last night. Kay's being more supportive than skeptical or cynical about my Yelp activities (fixation?) of late and suggested we hit Moe's on the way back to her abode since it remained unreviewed. I know. She's comin' around. I really knew nothing about this chain, assuming that it was akin to Chi Chi's. Nah. Think Subway meets TGI Fridays meets Taco Bell. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. C'mon. Don't walk away from me. Please. We walk in and a chipper, supra-motivated 20-something bellows to us "WELCOME TO MOOOOOE'S" in life-is-good, kick-ass fashion. He then proceeded to explain the menu to us (Kay's had been here before, I hadn't) as a slew of fixing lay in front of him behind glass. Portraits of ordinary people who resemble deceased, famed musicians hang on the walls. That's there the TGI influence comes into play. I tell the kid I want a beef burrito with everything since that's the way I like to rock and roll. "OH, you want a Homewrecker," he tells me with an excited grin on his face, rubbing his palms together as if he's gonna build a fire via pure friction. And everything was what I got, masterfully wrapped up in a beach towel of a flour tortilla. Bacon, olives, guac, onion, cucumber. Yes, cucumber, artfully cut I might add. Yeah, verrry Subway. I cannot emphasize enough how adeptly engineered this burrito was. Nothing burst out from the ends of it. Everything stayed inside this burrito despite it being stuffed with ground beef, rice, and uncounted other garnishes. I mean, this was as cornucopian as Thommy Friedman sans the wide-eyed glee over globalization and fatuous metaphors and analogies. I mean, if Friedman's ideas had as much meat as a Homewrecker Burrito from Moe's (not to mention an air of peace and justice) I might climb aboard his intellectual bus. As advertised, we got free chips and fresh salsa in various flavors (can't recall the names) of red and green with our respective meal (Kay got a fish taco with a cinematic hoot of a name). I covered my chips in X-Mas time style and found both soupy, somewhat chunky salsas to be a cut above canned, Moe's purporting to make their own, the author being inclined to believe it. Oh get this, Moe's also claims to offer sustainable fast-food... moes.com/mission They have tofu??? Equally impressive and refreshing is their aversion to microwaves and freezers. The Fresh Food Revolt is spreading. I'll knock off a star for their cookies (again, how Subway) which tasted like the kind you'd find at a supermarket bakery (geez, score one for Subway for having better cookies). But I'll return one (I won't give them more than 4 stars) for Moe's enthusiastic service and fun, hip, relaxed, upscale cafeteria atmosphere/concept.

When i travel to Caltexico, I go by way of Moe's. Because although Chipotle and Qdoba do a fine fast food burrito, they don't do it as well as Moe's. And it is fast food, but it pains me to categorize it in that fashion, because when I say fast food, you're thinking Taco Bell. . . and it's not THAT. It's a step up. The comparison is perhaps equivalent to a Red Robin to Wendy's sort of thing. Red Robin is to Wendy's what Moe's is to Taco Bell. It's fast (though if you go at noon for a lunch hour meal, you'll question ANY categorization of their food involving the adjective "fast"), but good. I go with the Joey Bag o' Donuts burrito combo with steak and black beans. Yum. I'm full now.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Note: I forgot to take down their hours, but I do know that they were open until 9 P.M. And we barely got in under the wire last night. Kay's being more supportive than skeptical or cynical about my Yelp activities (fixation?) of late and suggested we hit Moe's on the way back to her abode since it remained unreviewed. I know. She's comin' around. I really knew nothing about this chain, assuming that it was akin to Chi Chi's. Nah. Think Subway meets TGI Fridays meets Taco Bell. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. C'mon. Don't walk away from me. Please. We walk in and a chipper, supra-motivated 20-something bellows to us "WELCOME TO MOOOOOE'S" in life-is-good, kick-ass fashion. He then proceeded to explain the menu to us (Kay's had been here before, I hadn't) as a slew of fixing lay in front of him behind glass. Portraits of ordinary people who resemble deceased, famed musicians hang on the walls. That's there the TGI influence comes into play. I tell the kid I want a beef burrito with everything since that's the way I like to rock and roll. "OH, you want a Homewrecker," he tells me with an excited grin on his face, rubbing his palms together as if he's gonna build a fire via pure friction. And everything was what I got, masterfully wrapped up in a beach towel of a flour tortilla. Bacon, olives, guac, onion, cucumber. Yes, cucumber, artfully cut I might add. Yeah, verrry Subway. I cannot emphasize enough how adeptly engineered this burrito was. Nothing burst out from the ends of it. Everything stayed inside this burrito despite it being stuffed with ground beef, rice, and uncounted other garnishes. I mean, this was as cornucopian as Thommy Friedman sans the wide-eyed glee over globalization and fatuous metaphors and analogies. I mean, if Friedman's ideas had as much meat as a Homewrecker Burrito from Moe's (not to mention an air of peace and justice) I might climb aboard his intellectual bus. As advertised, we got free chips and fresh salsa in various flavors (can't recall the names) of red and green with our respective meal (Kay got a fish taco with a cinematic hoot of a name). I covered my chips in X-Mas time style and found both soupy, somewhat chunky salsas to be a cut above canned, Moe's purporting to make their own, the author being inclined to believe it. Oh get this, Moe's also claims to offer sustainable fast-food... moes.com/mission They have tofu??? Equally impressive and refreshing is their aversion to microwaves and freezers. The Fresh Food Revolt is spreading. I'll knock off a star for their cookies (again, how Subway) which tasted like the kind you'd find at a supermarket bakery (geez, score one for Subway for having better cookies). But I'll return one (I won't give them more than 4 stars) for Moe's enthusiastic service and fun, hip, relaxed, upscale cafeteria atmosphere/concept.

When i travel to Caltexico, I go by way of Moe's. Because although Chipotle and Qdoba do a fine fast food burrito, they don't do it as well as Moe's. And it is fast food, but it pains me to categorize it in that fashion, because when I say fast food, you're thinking Taco Bell. . . and it's not THAT. It's a step up. The comparison is perhaps equivalent to a Red Robin to Wendy's sort of thing. Red Robin is to Wendy's what Moe's is to Taco Bell. It's fast (though if you go at noon for a lunch hour meal, you'll question ANY categorization of their food involving the adjective "fast"), but good. I go with the Joey Bag o' Donuts burrito combo with steak and black beans. Yum. I'm full now.

Two great things going for Moe's 1) "Welcome to Moe's and 2) Queso. I've eaten soft tacos, nachos and burritos here. They give you a lot of options to choose from-black beans, pinto beans, different salsas, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and a few other things including proteins. They add chips to every order which is a nice treat. They keep the restaurant very clean and the employees are friendly.

This place has terrible food. I'm giving them 2 stars only because the people working there were friendly and helpful. That's the only reason. The food is totally bland, absolutely tasteless. It's like lunchlady-style ground "beef" with no flavor (other than that weird, undefinable "lunch lady" flavor), the rice has no flavor, the corn tortilla has no flavor, the salsa has no flavor, nor the rice, the pico, and even the tortilla chips are without salt. Ridiculous. And it's not even particularly cheap. Just really bad and really not mexican.

Credit must be given to the caliber of food. This is not a high quality burrito joint- nor is it a low quality Taco Bell type. It is somewhere between a chipotle/qdoba and a Taco Bell. What you gotta give Moe's credit for is the amount of options... Chicken, ground beef, tofu, steak, and pork. The only thing they are missing is fish/shrimp and that's a little harder to keep fresh. The burrito you get here is jam packed and the taste is pretty good. Ingredients taste fresh. Every burrito comes with chips, and my favorite is that the salsa options are numerous is free (like most southern burrito joints). Some may question a 4 star rating but credit should be given where it is deserved. Moe's is a decent Tex-mex option that gives consumers a lot of options on what they want in a burrito- also inexpensive- and lastly in a region where Mexican chains are not as prevalent as they would be in the southwest. So there aren't a lot of tacquerias and Mexican options. If you want something fast- it's either chipotle, qdoba, or Moe's. And Moe's is pretty good- I haven't explored all the options and meats but food there was a 3.5. Overall good experience.

This is absolutely one of the best places that my family loves to go to! Every weekend we visit here at least once and it's always great service and great food. Is this Chipotle? No. There is a difference in that Moe's will season their beef and chicken with simple seasons (salt and pepper) and leave the flavors of the other ingredients to do the work. The other main difference is that the burritos are slightly bigger at Chipotle. Is this Qdoba? No. Since Chipotle and Qdoba were formed 2 years apart from each other in Denver, CO (Chipotle coming first) they are nearly identical. Moe's is different from them both due to the seasoning and allowing the ingredients to come together. Moe's also gives free chips and has a salsa bar that you can get different flavors from. We like going to Moe's because we are treated well and have always had great food. The execution of the burrito is one of the important factors and I prefer to have a place that will allow the fresh ingredients do the work rather than a marinade. Another reason we choose Moe's time after time is that they donate a lot of their proceeds to charity's that are important to us. Example would be JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) which is something the other places just don't do.

I hate to be harsh with Moes because I honestly like eating here, but it's just a quick fix when I want Mexican. Absolutely nothing jumps out at you when you eat at this place. The food is a bit too expensive for what you get and what you get is nothing special. It's not necessarily bland but is certainly cheap. They have a decent variety and good amount of options but none of what I eat here ranks as the best I can get anywhere. Also, I'm very annoyed by how they organize and name their menu items. They try to be cute, but it's really just obnoxious and not helpful. I mean, you tell me, what do you think of when you hear the term "Joey bag of donuts"? Do you think Burrito? If it was a Burrito would you have any idea what was on it? Dumb, right? The people are nice enough, no real complaints. But they aren't customer service oriented. They're fastidious to yell "WELCOME TO MOES" and other random unintelligible things at the right times, but getting me through the line and to my seat without annoying me. . . not so much. This is kind of a theme for them, they sacrifice being a restaurant for being an experience. The place is clean, but is often a bit cluttered and disorganized. There aren't enough trash cans and napkin stations either. One other complaint. . . they have TV's but they are always tuned to ESPN no matter what ridiculous thing is on. There could be a local game on another channel and they'll leave a screen saver on if that was what ESPN was showing. Dumb. One compliment. . . they have decent homemade tortilla chips and a salsa bar. Both are bottomless. Really cool. Also, they have one of those new Coke Machines that gives you over 100 options in pop. All in all, it's like going to Subway. Sometimes you crave it, sometimes it's just convenient, and sometimes you avoid it like the plague. If you know what to expect, it delivers exactly that and you won't be disappointed, but if you expect to be blown away. . . find another restaurant.

Moe's is like the Subway of fast food burrito joints. The food is alright and the value is good but there are so many better options available there is really no reason to eat there. If you need a quick burrito, try Chipotle instead. Their ingredients are much fresher, and the seasonings they use are way better too.

Still the worst moes I've ever visited in terms of cs. Its like they have slave labor working, the employees clearly hater being there! No "welcome to moes"; employees are very careless building your burrito and listening to what you actually want! Love the location, but hope they go out of business soon. Go to the market square location for an enjoyable and authentic moes experience. The Robinson location is just sad all around, cs, food prep, timeliness on food prep, and above all, the cs is the worst! No welcome to moes, with no line, its takes close to 5 minutes to complete your order. This place is a shame to the moes name! Send email to HQ to hopefully get then inline or revoked! Avoid at all costs! Visit their other Pittsburgh locations for a real moes experience!

one of my go to mexican restaurants i love it there and i love when they say "welcome to moes" the queso is bomb everything is fresh and i always feel full and happy when im there great for kids too

Pretty basic build a burrito place. Good food. Seemed fresh. Pretty clean unlike similar places. Staff was pretty laid back and very patient. I recommend this place if you need a quick lunch that is a step up from basic fast food. The place was freezing through.
(4)Bobby B.
Happened to eat at Moes because it was walking distance from my hotel. Food was bad. Had the Burrito Bowl with beef. Beef- chewy and bland. Rice - taste like instant rice but worse Salsa- Yuk. I tried 3 different salsas and didn't care for any of them. I live in Houston and am comparing this food to good Mexican food which is readily available where I live.
(2)Amy R.
I mean...Qdoba, Chipotle...Moe's. Same idea, so it comes down to the little stuff. Moe's gives free chips with 'entree' sized menu item. Definite plus. However, there's no real soup options. As a proponent of both tortilla soup and the Mexican gumbo, I was a bit disappointed. Tacos were good enough. I'd go again.
