I've already not been a fan of Moe's for awhile. Call it overkill from eating it throughout college or what but I usually whine a bit when this is where my parents want to go to eat with me. I usually find everything bland. But I had a gift card soooo today was the day to use it.
I opted for something I don't normally get since I have been displeased with my previous pickings...a quesadilla. More specifically one with steak (grass fed here which is a nice touch), pintos, mushrooms, grilled onions & peppers, cilantro and jalapeños. Then we also scored ourselves a cup of chili con queso, a limited time item. The quesadilla was just alright, the steak was surprisingly flavorful this time but the mushrooms had a very strange flavor to them..no bueno. The guy assumed I meant pickled jalapeños when I requested "jalapeños" , but I meant the fresh ones so I ended up picking the pickled ones off. The chili con carne was really good though. They should consider making this a regular item, way more interesting than the regular ol' queso. Dipping the quesadilla in it was not the worst idea either.
It was pretty empty when we went in, an odd middle of lunch and dinner time and the 2 people working there were very friendly and helpful. They did have great tunes playing the whole time as well. It wasn't as terrible as I remember but still not enough to make me crave anything from Moe's or go back, unless I have another gift card.
