| - Stopped in today for lunch for some tacos. Never been to Moe's before, and looked at an online menu prior to ordering. It was nice to know I could mix up the types of shells I wanted as well as the protein, provided they were in the same price category (chicken+beef). You walk in and state what you want and you build it as needed with all the toppings laid out. What is really counter-productive is telling the first person you see the name of the item you want. You would figure simply saying "overachiever tacos with no guacamole" would click with them to know what should already go on it, right? No. All it came down to was trying to figure out what to put on my three tacos, which just complicates things if I can do different things for each taco and feel rushed while I do it.
Needless to say, my overachiever actually wasn't the overachiever because no beans were on it. I LOVE black beans, and was bummed they weren't on there. Yeah, i could have said to put them on, but my oversight was thinking that saying WHAT WAS ON THE MENU implied that by default I would get the stated toppings. Whatever, clearly the ordering is confusing.
So that's that. I got 2 soft tacos with beef and chicken, and then a crunchy taco with beef. And then whatever odd toppings I picked at random because no one memorizes what goes with a menu item. Free chips and salsas is a plus, and I decided to get a cup of queso, along with sides of green, mango hananero, and some medium chunky salsa, whatever its name was.
I live a few minutes down the street and by the time I got home and promptly started eating I discovered that the crunchy taco does NOT hold up well. With some tomato, sour cream, lettuce and cheese 95% of the shell was soft and falling apart as I ate it. No bueno.
Alot of people saying Moe's items are bland, and I can agree with that when I comes to the chicken. It was just ok with the same toppings I had above. But, I was glad to see that they serve some pretty appealing beef, and not the cheap dogshit they concoct at Taco Bell or cheap Mexican restaurants. The beef actually is beef and has some decent flavor and texture. . I noticed a southwest rice that was also pretty good and went well the the beef and said toppings.
Again, free chips are nice, but with the amount they give you it's pretty pointless to get a cup of queso. The side of queso seems more appropriate since you don't get much. Getting the cup is a waste of the 3 or 4$, because your small portions of chips don't really make the value worth it if you have ALOT of leftover queso. The salsas were ok, did not care the overly sweet mango habanero salsa though.
They REALLY need separate chip bags because its a pain in the ass fishing out my 3 tacos underneath chips just carelessly thrown into the bag. WHY do that?!
The only good part is you get more options and variety to go with mediocrity. The tacos pretty much are on par with the taco kits you buy and make yourself a home from Giant Eagle. Moe's isn't bad to stay away from, but it isn't the best to come to daily. I wouldn't mind stopping back for a bowl in the future.
