I like Moes. The salsa is awesome. The chicken quesadilla is pretty good.

I love Moe's. I wish there was one around here. It may not be good for you, but it is much better for you than Chipotle's giant burritos.

I love Moes! Their Burrito's are SO good and it's all fresh ingredients. A million times better than that shitty Chipotle.

Qdoba is higher end if you have any of those around.
Burrito Beach is less authentic but they use I think fresher ingredients.

Chipotle, Qdoba, Moe’s Southwest Grill — they’re all fast-and-convenient Mexican eateries which are okay, not great, and definitely over-priced.

I'm going to say No to Moe.
A friend had lunch there last summer, finished her shopping and errands, and headed home. All afternoon she said she kept belching up something that was like rotten eggs and she felt increasingly queasy.
She just kept thinking she'd be fine if she got home and took some Pepto-Bismol but her apartment was 20-25 mins. from the mall where she'd been shopping. So finally, she's home, rushes up to the front door, and while she's fiddling with the keys, has near projectile vomiting, all over the front door and stoop. To make matters, those powerful abdominal contractions set off a chain reaction and she filled her panties.
And, just to complete her humiliation, the neighbors' children were playing outside and witnessed the whole thing, accompanied by much squealing and laughter. For a long time afterward, the brats simulated retching whenever they saw her. I reminded her that, on the bright side, at least the kids didn't know she'd shit her pants!

The nachos are good. The queso is good. I would be near a bathroom after eating there though. I usually get take out and eat at home.

What is it with these Southwestern places like Moe's and Chipotle poisioning people? McDonald's doesn't have very good food either but you don't hear people saying it made them throw up or shit their goddamn panties.
| by Anonymous | reply 16 | June 30, 2016 5:57 PM |
Have you ever seen the size of the portions at these places? A burrito from Chipotle or Qdoba is almost the size of a football. Massive amounts of "real food" is still bad for you. It would actually be better to get a kid's meal from a fast food place.

Qdoba is awful. Moe's is okay except staff is required to scream welcome to moes when customer walks i.

Chipotle had a problem probably because of some combination of : (a) fast-food workers don't wash their hands, even after using the bathroom. And (b) the way they improperly serve the food, often using their hands instead of the provided spoons and tongs, which permits any germs to spread throughout all the food as employees reach from one container into another. Gloves do not provide protection against cross-contamination. Whenever I see either of these things happen, I make a point of telling the manager and reporting it to the corporate office.
I've worked as a food safety and as a medical facilities inspector. The nasty shit I saw ... sigh.

I've eaten there occasionally since I was a freshman in college in 2006 - never had any problems with GI issues. Superior quality over Chipotle and cheaper too so it's a win-win for me.
| by Anonymous | reply 23 | June 30, 2016 7:53 PM |
I wonder if they vary in quality from city to city. There is no way you'd rather eat at my local Moe's than at either Chipotle or Qdoba.

Only truly trashy and/or poor people would eat at a fast food chain instead of seeking out more authentic food.

It's ridiculous that so many people would claim to have gastroenteritis from eating at an established restaurant chain (Moe's). Most of these stories sound like bigots telling bigoted stories about "foreign" food. You're like the old people I had to accompany on a drive-along during a college internship in St Louis:
Old person #1: "I love ethnic food."
Old person #2: "Oh me too. My wife love to go out for Italian on Fridays."

R27, you're being silly. The authentic Mexican restaurants here are great. I only hear complaints about the chains. Why ever would you try to make this about age or "bigotry"?
Oh, I get it. SJWs have to hang their replies on some bete-noir, never reality.

This thread was referenced in another one and made me wonder if these places are still in business. The local Moe's closed and Chipotle is always deserted.

What is it with so many of you with your sad cliche of "If you eat at Mexicans, you will get tummy ache and/or diarrhea."
It's such bullshit. Moe's uses the same groceries any other restaurant does. Mexican food doesn't make you any more or less ill than any other food.

R36 this was explained to you once before but we'll try again.
It's not Mexican food per se that's the problem. In my area there are many restaurants run by Mexicans with delicious, authentic food. The problems are with these chains ("Southwestern" generally, not Mexican, BTW) using substandard ingredients, meats past their prime, and/or issues with food handling procedures.
Get it, now?

Freebirds opened in Foster City but then closed down. It must not have been very popular. I forget what it is now.

R36 is right. I stopped eating chain tex-mex food decades ago.
Since I love to cook actual Mexican food, I just do this at home.
Or I go to local restaurants owned by people from Mexico who know how to cook and prepare food and make it right. I only do this when I want to eat something like menudo/pancita, posole, tamales, or something that takes a lot of preparation.
I also cook a lot of spicy Indian, Thai, and British-Asian curries at home since I enjoy food that's hot and spicy.
Eating yogurt or ice cream afterwards helps so your stomach does not get upset and it does not burn the next day.

Hey R36, my derision for Moe’s has nothing to do with it being “Mexican” and everything to do with it being a very trashy looking chain restaurants found only in strip malls in Bumfucke. Place looks filthy and the people who eat there look like they subsist on processed food and Marlboro Reds, so I am not trusting the quality of their food or the cleanliness of their restaurants. It’s also no doubt about as “Mexican” as a bag of Doritos washed down with a Mountain Dew.

I've been to two Moe's. The first, in Beaufort, SC, was awesome. The second, on 6th Ave in Manhattan, was average.
R52, I don't eat at Chipotle simply because of the salt content. I can taste every bit of the 1000+ mg of salt they put in their choices and I always get an awful aftertaste. I haven't been to Chipotle in over a year.

R58 I'm not surprised they put a ton of salt in their food. I'll also be avoiding ever eating at Chipotle because of this and I find the taste of too much salt to be gross.
