| - If you're uptown and after tex-mex, i'd head for Moe's. It's pretty no-nonsense, it's in a good location, and you can sit in and loiter after you finish your meal.
I've tried their tacos and burritos, both of which i've gone the vegetarian option for and then easily veganised by asking for no cheese and sour cream. I tend to always go for a combo, as you generally get a drink, plus a side of guacamole and nachos (if they're stingy, say so and ask for more!) which gives me a reason to gather up a few samples from the salsa bar - a good range of heats and flavours to choose from (go with El Guapo!). Ingredients the meals are created from are fresh, and decent quality. (I cannot speak to the meats on offer, but the beans and the tofu are quite good!)
The seating area is pretty big for a tex-mex place, and like I said - you can loiter. In a slightly food-courtish way there's TV screens with news channels playing, but there's also great piped radio with 70s/80s rock playing softly as background.
I've never had an issue with cleanliness -the dining and salsa/fountain areas are rarely messy, and the bathrooms are kept well.
My three stars would be four if the servers making the meals and taking your money were a little more consistent - some visits my burrito is a bit fatter than others, and some days the cashier's attitude leaves little to be desired (I have one particular person in mind here, otherwise usually when the manager is in and on cash it's smiles and friendliness all-round!). Some days you get a friendly "Welcome to Moe's!" when you come in the door, some days you don't.
