Moe’s Southwest Grill

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!!! my husband’s nachos had a hair in the guac and then I bit into a FINGERNAIL in my burrito! The employees couldn’t care less and the place is filthy!

One of my most favorite places to eat. The staff is alert and friendly and have yet to make an error on our order. Definitely recommend!

Expect quality plus the price tag.
Think of a Subway «stand and order from a buffet of options» kind of business model but instead of a sandwich you get a burrito or nachos or sealed quesadilla stack. Consistency is the name of the game here. In almost 80 visits I have only had 3 visits I wasn’t thrilled with but we’re still plenty edible.
I like how the ingredients are properly sourced with grass fed beef and cage free chicken but that does nothing to lessen the price. However eating on Monday does. $ 5.55, free guacamole, rounds out to about $ 6.50 with steak and tax. (No drink)
Protein options
Tofu — available but I’ve never tried it
Beef — extra greasy and mostly flavorless
Chicken — opposite of beef but only slightly less flavorless
Pork — Tender, pull apart consistency, not quite enough flavor
Steak — The. Holy. Grail. Get this. It is flavorful and perfect amount of size and chew.
The only problem beside the lack of good protein options is that I add so many cold items to my burrito the whole thing can be chilly by the time you eat it. To counteract that I will have them grill it. Alternatively you can come at peak hours and everything will be hot.
Queso and bacon is another option that comes at an additional charge. Bacon is good in anything where meat is allowed but queso here is not an all star. Chips? Sure. Otherwise avoid it. It’s good but overpowering. If you like it on your nachos, you’re human. If you like it on a burrito I weep for what your burrito could have been.

Good consistent food! I have been here by myself and with groups. No variance. Just good, fresh lunch.

The previous reviewer hit the nail on the head. The only thing good at this place is the queso, and I’ve had better at other places. The food here is horrible. The meat selections are low quality and not seasoned well. I’ve tried this place a couple of times thinking it could be a Chipotle or Freebirds substitute, but it just doesn’t come close. I always end up with a cold, soggy burrito. The service is lacking, too. I understand that this is a college town and that pretty much all you have to choose from for employees are college kids, but train them and teach them to provide good service. I took my burrito back up to the counter and told them it was cold and soggy and asked them to make me a quesadilla and they seemed very put-​out and annoyed. I will never go back to this place. Seriously, it is horrible.

This a walk-​up and order build your own burrito/​nacho/​fajita/​salad establishment.
That being said, I’ve never really left here thinking, «Yum, that was a deliciously good choice.»
In theory, it sounds like a great place to dine, but I’ve yet to see that theory come to fruition.
There is an ample selection of meats, ranging from pork, chicken, beef, to steak, and also a wide range of fillers such a lettuce, tomatoes, rice, cheese sauce, and the like. I usually get the Triple Lindy, amended to my tastes. The meat is always less than appetizing, slightly chewy with not a lot of flavor. The toppings seem to meld well, but never quite make the burrito, well, very good. Their queso is usually the saving grace of my burrito experience.
The prices are what really bring this down from a 3-​star to a 2-​star for me. Ridiculous. We are talking $ 9+ for a burrito/​nachos.
I’ll have to try this place again in the near future and see if there is another menu item that can somehow salvage my opinion of this place.
Sorry, Moe.
