Burrito Battle: Chipotle or Moe’s?

Moe’s Knows

“Welcome to Moe’s!”

There is nothing better than hearing that friendly welcome prior to chomping on flavorful Mexican food. Moe’s offers items such as burritos, tacos, quesadillas, salads, stacks and even burrito bowls. Wow, can’t say we’ve seen any other store offer this much variety!

Eating a Moe’s burrito is like eating heaven wrapped in a big flour tortilla. Chipotle does not even compare to this divine dining experience. After school, all we want to do is make the drive to Shrewsbury and munch on Moe’s signature item, the “Homewrecker,” which is your typical burrito with everything on it. This burrito gets stuffed so much that you’d think it’s about to explode.

Moe’s has a variety of choices including delectable steak, ground beef, chicken, pork and even tofu. But most importantly, Moe’s offers two things that Chipotle does not: bacon and queso. Everyone knows that bacon is good on anything, and adding it to a Moe’s burrito is delicious. Their famous queso, (melted cheese) is so rich and tasty that people buy cups of it to enjoy with their burritos and complimentary chips.

Wait! You’re probably thinking you read that last line wrong. No! Moe’s does have complimentary chips. That’s right, FREE! Not to mention you have the option between four different types of salsa. Does Chipotle offer that? I don’t think so!

Employees at Moe’s have always stuffed burritos with meat as opposed to the employees at Chipotle which are inconsistent in the amount of meat they throw in. But it’s not only with meat that Moe’s is unmatched; they pack the burrito with the other ingredients you ordered as well. This results in a bigger, fully loaded burrito which means that we get the most out of what we are paying for. After finishing a Chipotle burrito we’re always still hungry for more, but with this magnificent, beautiful burrito from Moe’s your tummy is full to the top.

Moe’s even promotes a healthier option by offering salads as well. Their salads are served with chopped romaine lettuce, your choice of protein, beans, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, cucumbers and black olives topped with chipotle ranch, southwest vinaigrette or fat-free salsa vinaigrette dressing.

One thing that Moe’s also has that Chipotle lacks is nachos, which are at restaurant quality. On top of that, the one thing that sets Moe’s nachos apart from the competition is their queso, once again. Not to mention, you are the one that gets to decide what you want on it. Right after eating a nacho, you’ll feel like springing up and dancing with joy.

Lastly is the Coca-Cola freestyle drink machine that each Moe’s restaurant houses. What blows our minds the most is the fact that the machine contains over 100 different types of soda and juice. For example, there’s the vanilla Coke, grape Fanta and Mountain Dew, the primary trio.

So, you know what to do. Jump in your car and head down to Moe’s. After your first visit, you will want to keep going back for more and more. Kesh out!
