Moe’s Southwest Grill

Who in the world closes a food place, in Atlanta of all places, at 8 pm on a weekday? I could definitely understand a Sunday. But on a Monday? Really? We walked in at 8:10 pm to an open sign and people sitting outside eating their food. We were then told that they were closed. We laughed but they were serious. I’m sure the food is great but closing at 8 pm is way too early. Beware.

I went here for lunch today, not my usual Moe’s but I figured I would give it a try. I got the Joey with tofu. When I started eating it, the damn thing was cold, the cheese wouldn’t even melt. I didn’t complain but I will not return. It was right after 11 and there was no one there, no excuse. Also, they didn’t have the keypad where you punch in your phone number and I think it was my free one. Bleh on this Moe’s.

Guess I just come at the right time of day. I love this Moe’s! Always clean, quick, friendly. Seriously, bring back the Tequila Lime Queso already.

It’s fast-​food Mexican so anyone expecting anything more will be disappointed. The menu is very confusing. I’m starting to think I don’t speak as clearly as I thought I did– bc every time I say no to something they put it on there anyway. Guacamole is pretty good.

*shrug* This place is okay. I used to live in the area and I went a few times, now I occasionally stop by when I’m in the mood for a burrito. The workers always appear run down and tired, though they do try to be polite, despite their clear exhaustion. This Moe’s tends to scrimp on the meat to the point that you can’t even really taste much meat in your burrito when you bite into it.
It’s generally clean, and someone is frequently picking up or sweeping. Salsas are usually well-​stocked, too. They have the water stashed near the cash register, but they don’t offer it in their fancy schmancy soda machine, so that’s something to note if you’re looking for water in their machine.
Like I said, it’s okay. I’ve definitely been to better a better Moe’s before, but if I’m in the area I stop by from time to time.

I come here often because I work nearby. They always forget to give me a fork, napkins, or salsa whenever I grab to go.

Welcome to moe’s! I prefer moe’s over willies since they offer ground beef. This location on Roswell rd magically doesn’t have a parking problem. Their always is parking. Clean location.

At work we decided to order lunch for the office and use the online ordering system for this location.
The website is a bit odd to navigate but we were able to order.
We ordered 2 steak nachos, a couple home wrecker burritos, and burrito bowl.
All orders were correct as ordered online however, no salsa was given. I was later told by my coworkers that at Moes you have to get the salsa yourself.
On my online order I had requested particular salsas and having never eaten here before, I feel like my order should have prompted a comment letting me know where the salsa was located and that it is self serve.
The food here is not great. No flavor and I will not return.

Consistently good food, but also consistently terrible service. I tried the drive — thru one day & ordered a bowl the way I wanted, as I would’ve inside. Got to the window & it wasn’t right. I was told «this is the way it comes». I tried to talk to management about the continued issues at this location & they never bothered to contact me back.

I have a lot of experience with this Moes. I don’t know why I keep coming back when I could visit the Chipolte down the street instead. It must be the $ 5 burritos on Mondays (I’m very frugal). Anyways, the turnover at this store is ridiculous. They can’t keep employees which tells me a lot, but mostly their food just sucks.

Constant personnel turnover is killing this Moe’s. Ordered two burritos on Monday evening. They looked like small oranges when they were put together. First round burrito for us. Also, they were out of about ¹⁄₃ of the toppings and no steak.

Real talk: I used to think Moe’s was like Subway with Tex-​Mex food. Every time I’d go there in Chattanooga, it was more like being dragged along because nothing ever tasted that great.
Since then I’ve really avoided it, I didn’t even really know Moe’s was from Atlanta until I was driving on Peachtree and it’s pretty obvious. I’ve gone maybe two or three times in the past couple years, but after a burrito discussion at work on Monday I thought maybe I’d give Moe’s another try when a craving for nachos struck.
Chipotle’s my go-​to place but I would never order nachos there because their chips and my favorite salsa are already so salty I can’t imagine it. I’d been mostly going to Barberito’s, since I live right by the one here in Sandy Springs, but I figured it was time to give Moe’s another try after going to their website and see that they seem to have taken a page from Chipotle’s book and tout a lot of quality ingredients including grass fed steak and organic tofu.
I never liked the whole yelling at you when you come in thing and I always feel awkward ignoring it but I guess they’re probably used to that. The menu is also so goofy with its crazy names like I can’t even tell you what nachos are actually called. Although once I was here I was tempted to get a salad since it comes in one of the shells but NACHOS. They also now have something called stacks which look like burritos that got started on steroids after meeting that crunchwrap thing from Taco Bell.
Anyway, you know the drill you pick what you want on there and some things cost extra, like guacamole, which is a dollar. Since I’ve been here they also now have grilled onions and peppers and a huge plus is that they are actually separate from each other instead of mixed like at Chipotle.
The best part of nachos is obviously queso, and if you are taking your order to go, they will put it on the side for you. I live not even ten minutes away so I didn’t bother, plus I like when a few chips are soggy from cheesy goodness. However their chips are great so they nearly all held up anyway!
You can load up your nachos will all sorts of veggies which I love, and they have fresh jalapenos.
As for the taste, it’s definitely, definitely changed for the better. The steak is great, not overcooked and dry, and they leave it in larger sized pieces which works better to me for nachos… I can’t even imagine those little baby bite pieces at Chipotle on nachos. The guacamole is pretty good, and for the dollar upcharge you do get a decent amount.
I will definitely be back for nachos again. There was the perfect ratio of toppings to chips without having leftovers of anything! Yeah… I ate it all. Oops.
Bonus: they have a Coke freestyle machine, which I think is a standard thing in the chain now. I did not partake this time around but put a little orange Fanta in mostly Coke, it’s awesome.
Sometimes it’s a pain in the ass to get in here if you’re turning left because people decide to slow down enough RIGHT before the neighboring Mellow Mushroom, but there’s plenty of parking. Just make sure you don’t turn in too early to Smashburger because they don’t entirely share parking on that side.
ETA: 2 days later I thought I would give a burrito a shot. It’s definitely better than I remember but I’d rather have Chipotle. The sign in the window advertises any burrito for $ 5.95 but I paid $ 5.94 including the tax. So I have no idea what the deal is but I got a burrito that is normally $ 7.95. I also have to take away a star because it was just before 7pm and they were nearly out of rice and grilled peppers and seemed to have no intention of making any more of either, which I thought was weird given this running weekly deal, but I guess maybe business really tapers off then.

I am Huge Fan of Moes. Free chips and a salsa bar. This location is right next to smash burger and mellow mushroom. This location is perfect for me because is close to my job and home.
The interior is clean modern and friendly staff. I like when you walk in they greet you saying” WELCOME TO MOES”. The station were very clean and the meats dont look dry. This location dose get busy during lunch especially on Mondays (5dollar burritos). Even that is not a issue the Lines do move fast.
My only issue is there Online or app ordering system at this location. I would order a burritos at 1130 and request the walk in time at 12pm or 1230. You would assume they would make the order ahead of time. Uh No. I gave up after the third time. Evey single time I order online the none of the staff no anything about. The last time I order online the cashier said we don’t have online orders at this store. Luckily the manger was near by and apologize.
Great location over all just dont make any orders online or through there app at this location,

Make sure they use clean gloves. :(
I think Moe’s is an excellent source of «hangover food», its quick, its filling and it doesn’t taste bad.
I went in today SUPER hungover, and when it was my turn to order, I kindly asked the nice lady if she could use new gloves, I told her that I had seen her handle money a minute ago and her gloves were looking kind of rough.
she proceeded to tell me that the gloves didn’t touch the money, she showed me her method of using her mouth to remove the glove only to a certain area and used the palm of her hand to grab things, then used her mouth again to put the glove back onto her hand.
I looked her dead in the eye and said: I NEED you to put on new gloves for sure now, they have spit, money, they are «aged» and when you did your glove removing trick, you touched you nose, hair and then didn’t notice that you wiped your hand on your pants.
she said no.
I just called the other guy behind the counter over to where we were, asked him if he could put new gloves on and make me a burrito. he asked what kind i wanted as he swapped gloves. I completed my order paid the man, and told him that the girl was making food with gross gloves.
He took a deep breath, sighed and apologized, called the girl, asked her to switch gloves, she refused again saying that they still worked; he looked straight at her and said he didn’t want to have this discussion again.
she then let out a loud… grunt? or something… switched gloves, and fixed her hair…
I didnt want to say anything anymore, my hunger and headache were getting worse…
And as I was walking away, i heard a group of ladies that were behind me in line ask the girl to switch her gloves…
I wont stop eating at Moe’s, i just need to make sure that one girl doesnt make my food.
EVER AGAIN.

I frequent this location a lot. Great people. Very friendly. The only complaint I have is with the frequent visitor system. They are not tied together with their system. If you redeem a free entre, you must tell them or it will disappear and will show used in the system after the fact. Managment there awarded me a free entrée on another visit after I complained. Very impressed that they did that on my word.
