2006-11-19 15:36:28 Very good food, especially considering how quick they are. Much faster and better than nearby Desert Moon Cafe, and also better than nearby Taco Bell. I will definitely be coming back. —StevenDibelius
2006-11-19 22:36:09 It's not Chipotle, but its good for a fix.... They have a salsa and sauce bar but the Kaiser Salsa tastes like ChiChi's jarred salsa to me.... —JcPop
2007-03-23 08:31:40 I love Moe's. No, it's not chipotle. Chipotle burritos are like 1500 calories each. Moe's has better ingredients. Love their fish tacos. —KimBee
2007-03-23 12:57:16 I LOVE Moe's and am glad to hear I will be able to get a mainstay from this area when I visit Rochester. —BadFish
2007-04-01 13:26:47 Giant tasty burritos. What more do you want? —RufoSanchez
2007-04-02 00:55:28 I really want to like this place but no matter what I order it's just not great. The fish tacos are fairly good, but a little on the fishy side - probably because the fish is precooked and sitting around all day. $.75 for nacho cheese is ridiculous at a fast food place. Also, the workers hollering at incoming customers ("Welcome to Moe's!") is not only annoying to patrons already seated in the restaurant, but genuinely embarrassing to the employees. I wish they'd let them stop. —WegmansFiend
2007-04-09 13:32:34 We strongly agree with the request to stop the hollering out a welcome when we walk in. We think that Moe's Southwest is among the best of the genre available in Rochester. —ScotFear
2007-04-09 14:08:00 I like the whole "Welcome to Moe's" thing. I never considered that it might annoy people. —KimBee
2007-04-25 13:27:29 really good taco salads! —SerinaLidder
2007-05-24 08:18:55 I am back in Rochester and I eat at Moe's at least once a week. The "Joey Bag of Donuts" is the best! —BadFish
2007-05-24 09:34:06 Moe's. What amazing stuff. Great beer, too. Give me a Joey Bag-o-Donuts and I'm a happy, happy, happy little blogger. —DragonFlyEye
2007-05-28 23:49:28 I ordered the 'Chicken Club Quesadilla' and it was great, very hearty. The 'infamous' salsa was very good too and their chips are decent. My wife ordered rice & beans and she liked it a lot also. The best commercial chain Mexican (aka TexMex) I've ever had. Definitely the best Mexican on this side of town, the only place I like more is John's. —TravisOwens
2007-05-29 03:27:15 Fish tacos are no longer. You are dead to me, Moe's. —WegmansFiend
2007-06-07 00:03:54 I have patronized a branch elsewhere..it is good. KimBee, I checked out the nutritional facts on their website. It is about 900-1100 calories and one burrito I checked had a whopping 96g of fat. So..I don't know if it is healthier than Chipotle [unfortunately!]. —OneLove
2007-06-07 00:18:01 Steak Homewrecker Burrito = Happiness.
Also, the Chicken Club Quesadilla (available for a limited time) is quite good. Mmmm...bacon.
I do agree that the queso, while tasty, is overpriced. —NathanHenderson
2007-06-07 10:14:09 I still love this place. The Nutrition link is at the bottom of their web site. —BadFish
2007-08-04 20:44:04 The service left something to be desired tonight, although the food was good. The condiments bar was a mess, they were out of forks and iced tea too. The staff didn't notice these problems until an employee on break came to get a drink and noticed me dripping the tea out of the canister. Once alerted, however, these problems were fixed in a matter of minutes.
And what's with the tip jar? The gas can is a cute idea, but they assemble the food in an assembly line, with the customers shuffling along. For what are we expected to tip? —DaveMahon
2007-08-05 16:31:06 I had a very tasty Triple Lindy with beef for lunch on Friday. It was pretty busy, but worth it. —EastSideStephen
2007-09-07 19:14:39 bad. salty. expensive. do we really need more chains? —MarcVera
2007-09-07 19:38:24 At Taco Bell, the so-called "fire" sauce barely even registers on my spicy scale. But at Moe's the hot sauce is actually HOT, as it should be. Unfortunately, the lunch line keeps getting longer, so I still end up going to Taco Bell sometimes.
For to-go orders, they put chips in the bag and the burrito foil gets salty and greasy, which ends up all over my desk. So you may want to say "no chips" when getting an order to go. I never eat the chips anyhow - the huge burrito is plenty. —McgMatt
2007-11-10 15:18:03 I used to get Moe's when I went to visit my best friend in Florida and was waiting for my flight at the Atlanta airport. I LOVE their taco salads and was extremely happy they were coming to Rochester. —CatMagro
