Moe’s Southwest Grill

Good prices and good food. I been here a few times and have consistently been happy with my meal. The places is clean the staff friendly.

Outstanding Burrito tonight — but impossible to get a drink! The drink line was to the door the entire time we ate. Perhaps it’s time to add an old school soda fountain with only 4 choices:)

I’m a big fan of Mexican food. Moes is good, not great, but it does the job. I would rank Qdoba and Chipotle both above moes, but it is certainly an option that does not disappoint.

This Moe’s location opened (as of this writing) about a year-​and-​a-​half ago. We were excited because we’ve eaten at many Moe’s locations before… and because it’s about a half mile from home. :) We were so eager (having watched its construction progress over many months) that we visited on opening day.
A couple of times a year they’ll run a special. One time it was a free serving of their new spicy guacamole, another time a free cup of queso (which is ever so awesome). Yesterday they had a free cup of queso for any order… and, of course, the place was packed.
We eat here frequently, not because it’s so close, but because it’s a genuinely great place to eat. The staff is always friendly and helpful, the food is always accurate and tasty, and they keep the dining room clean, even during busier periods. The staff will also offer to take your tray and used food items to the trash for you.
There is absolutely nothing to NOT love about Moe’s. From the management to the staff, from the salsa bar to the Two Taco Tuesday special, this is absolutely one of my favorite places to eat around town.

Great, great place for lunch… that’s about it. The quesadillas are fantastic, but in the end, it’s just a quesadilla.

We went here a few weeks ago, and somehow it became my kids new favorite place to eat. Maybe it’s because we praised them for having something other than chicken nuggets here and they can pick what they want on their tortilla. The other thing the kids love about this place is the Coke machine, which is the touch-​screen dispenser that lets you put various flavors in your drink.
When you walk in, you get the half-​hearted, half-​paying attention, insincere «Welcome to Moes» that’s awkward and embarrasses the kids. The meals all have really odd names, and despite having been there several times now, I still can’t figure out the difference between certain things on the menu (I think it’s that some things have guac included in the price, otherwise it’s an extra charge). I do like being able to choose what goes on my meal. After trying the nachos, tacos, and burritos, I think my favorite has to be the nachos (get the chips on the side).
Every meal seems to come with chips, and if you run out you can ask for more. There’s also a free salsa bar with 6 or so different kinds of salsas. You can buy a side of queso, but I’m torn with it… It’s a white-​cheese queso that I love with the chips when it’s hot… but when it cools down, it gets thick and gooey and I start to see what I’m clogging my arteries with.
It’s a little bit pricer than other fast food places for my family, but they seem to have some nights with good deals (like free kids meals with an adult meal on Wednesdays).

Tried my first Moe’s expecting a similar taste to Chipotle. Not even close. Tortillas were tough, veggies were bland, meat was tough. But the worst was the salsa — weird mix of spices, especially the tomatillo, which reeked of garlic. WHO PUTS GARLIC IN TOMATILLO!!! Plus it wasn’t cheap. In absence of better alternatives, I’ll just stick with Chipotle…

Way over priced for skimpy (really small) portions of food that is basically super cheap to start with. It is like Taco Bell with half the amount of food for three times the price. Food is ok but no better than a Mexican fast food place. You will leave Moes hungry after paying a huge bill.

Cleaner and better service than the Moe’s in Normal. Food is bland but edible. Lunch hour is always crowded so if you are in a hurry try to get there early or after 1:00.

I waltzed in and received a highly enthusiastic «welcome to Moe’s!!» (I was having an awful day, so hearing that made me feel not only happy, but loved) the menu was confusing to me, so I asked one of the young lads to help me; he suggested the stack… Boy oh boy what a smart man. The stack was the most delicious thing I’ve ever had in my whole life! The workers were so happy to serve me, they made me feel like a king! What a great place, great atmosphere, amazing food, and phenomenal workers!!! Can’t wait to go back!!! (Chipotle and qdoba are dust to me now) woohoo!!!

Moe Mondays 5 Buck burritos yesssss

Moe’s is one of my favorite places to eat. The place is always clean, they are friendly and the food is great. My favs are the Stacks and their Queso and Guacamole.
They also have $ 5 burritos on Monday.

Yum!
Like a Qdoba but a little better in my opinion due to increased choices.

OK, I’m not usually the chain restaurant type of gal, but lem’me tell ya’ – Moe’s? Moe’s is AWESOME! And I’m not just saying that because the owners and staff are some of the best of the best either. The food is great! And my entire family is satisfied when we dine out there, which is a total plus. They can order what they want, it’s made right in front of us, and Moe’s is happy to make US happy – FYI: There IS a second entrance through the outdoor seating area, it’s just not as convenient as the main door. Besides, if the line is SUPER long, what does that tell you? «Welcome to Moe’s!!!»

I used to have a strict no-​chains review policy on Unilocal.Things change. Especially after living in Central Illinois for a few years.
Moe’s is good. Really good. It’s fresh; it’s cheap; and it has a surprising number of good vegetarian options.
It’s kind of awkward when they shout «Welcome to Moe’s!!!» when people walk in the door, but it’s all worth it for the queso. Oh, the queso…

Nice and clean. Quick service and they will go light on the toppings when you tell them. Great salads and you can get junior burritos. Nice to have a 2^nd location. Only problem could be there is only one area to enter and exit and when they get busy it might be hard to squeeze through. Thursday is beer/​margarita night. Nice outdoor seating!
