Moes’ Southwest Grill

Our first visit to Moe’s, the menu is vague so you really don’t know what you are getting. I ordered 2 over achiever ground beef tacos, my husband thought they looked small but he didn’t see all the stuff that went into them so he too ordered two tacos and a plate called earmuff which is rice and beans, ground beef, cheese, peppers, guacamole, sour cream and who knows what else, served with chips. Needless to say we managed to finish the huge delicious tacos but fell short of finishing the earmuff plate. The food was hot, the service was quick, the place was clean, the music was a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll with some Motown. My only complaint was the shock that this came to just pennies shy of $ 30.00 for lunch, way too much even though it was good.

THE WORST. chicken was so dry I couldn’t even eat it, and the rice and beans were tasteless. Waste of money, go to chipotle instead– at least that’s actually good. Moe’s is terrible.

Love their Nachos. There is so much on them that it takes me 2 – 3 days to eat!

There are $ 2 coupons on the back of the receipt. AWESOME! Also love the free chips and salsa. Sometimes the line moves slowly tho…

Although you should stay away when college is on session during lunch and dinner time, you will not be disappointed. The portions here are massive and when I get the fajitas (which aren’t on the menu anymore but they make them anyways) I always have Moe’s for later too, god bless you uncle Moe.

Skip the heartburn and head to Chipotle instead.

Decent burritos! A little too pricey for the university payroll though (unless you go on $ 5 Mo Mondays!)

Good place to get a burrito/​taco quick fix.
They have tofu and they know when I say «no dairy» not to start asking me for cheese and sour cream. They ask you everything so I haven’t really had any problems with mistakes.
Definitely not the healthiest choice in the world, but that’s not what I’m thinking about whenever I go here.
Staff is friendly too. Never had a person with a sour face or attitude.
CONS: I try to stay away from their fried and then re-​fried chips both because they are awful for you and because they taste like fry grease. Also sometimes their salsa tastes a little bit like Windex because it’s obvious some of their employees are sloppy about cleaning the table around the salsa and spay when food is still in the way. That’s pretty gross.

Not a bad place! Food seemed a bit greasy but it looked better than any of the slop you find at Taco Bell or Chili’s!

I might go so far as to say these are the BEST cheap eats in Vestal! I had a taco and a MOUNTAIN of free chips on the side with UNLIMITED free salsa of my choosing for under $ 3.
My only «beef» would be that the menu appears VERY limited. You have four basic items: taco, burrito, quesadilla, and nachos. Of those, you have three choices: beef, chicken, or meatless. However, upon closer examination, this does make for plenty of vegetarian options — something I always fret over being vegetarian meself! And even though it appears you hav few choices, you can alter your meal to your exact specifications. I opted against rice, for black rather than pinto beans, and for the exact ingredients I wanted on my taco. I might mention, it was SUPER messy. I ended up resorting to eating it with a fork. And the grilled onions were cut rather large and somewhat overwhelmed all the other flavors. The chips were original and tasted good, even without the amazing range of free salsas at the salsa bar! My friend ordered their queso, which was AMAZING.
Overall, it’s a slightly upscale Taco Bell, but perfection comes with a price — their burritos are in the $ 5 range, and they might be the most expensive things on the menu.

Moe’s is a chain but this location is one of the better ones that I’ve seen. Moe’s has burritos, tacos, nachos, etc. The burritos are huge and along with the chips (which come with each meal) you’ll probably start leaning back in your seat after eating half of it. I’ve learned to just get a taco which comes with chips, and that’s enough for me. Each meat dish comes with a choice of chicken, steak, ground beef, or tofo (and at one time pork, not sure if they’re doing that anymore…), and might include a combination of rice, cheese, salsa, lettuce, guacamole depending on what you get. It’s relatively inexpensive (the burritos will run $ 6ish + $ 1-​$ 2 drink (optional). I’ve been there a lot.
I did see one questionably sanitary act, a kid serving the salsa with his hands (instead of a scoop) and not changing his gloves. You could imagine how messy his gloves became putting his hands in salsa… and then touching all the other ingredients over and over. I like to think this was an isolated incident.
Tuesdays are kids night. I think kids eat free on Tuesdays. They have someone that does face painting. Be prepared for lots of children and background noise if you go that day!
So all in all would recommend for a casual meal.

I was in there at 3pm on a Sunday, and despite there being an abundance of staff, and no customers, the service was slow, the restaurant was filthy, and the food was… well, awful would be a kind word. It managed to be both greasy and stale all at once, which is pretty difficult, and the «fresh vegetables» were anything but. Not worth a penny, any of it.
