Poll Chipotle vs Moes - why does one suck shit while the other is great?

Dunno man, for me

Chipotle has amazing Guac, but they never give you enough of it and charge way to much for it, especially living in Florida.
Chipotle feels like it has the fresher pico and veggies, but it really doesn't have the option for more toppings (looking at you grilled onions and mushrooms, maybe some black olives and corn pico)
As far as meat goes they both kind of suck, but are acceptable enough that my fatass can stand it.

Unpopular opinion but I prefer the queso at chipotle but like the chips like 1000x more at Moes. In fact Chipotle probably has the worst chips I've ever had.

In the end they are both good enough to go to. If I'm really craving chips I'll go to Moes as they give you way more, they are better, and they have like 5 salsas. If I want a burrito bowl I'll usually go to chipotle as they seem a bit fresher.

Both are good enough. Both suck compared to Tijuana Flats

I'll admit the one by Dell is pretty solid. Haven't been to the one near University. If I'm out that way I'll just go to Hopdoddy, though.

I only ever eat Taco C when I'm shithoused, and I'll get two enchiladas dinners to ensure a full serving of regret in the morning.

Moe's queso fuckin' sucks. I love white cheese, but theirs is like glue more than cheese. Kerby queso, Torchy's queso, Jardin Corona queso, so many better places.

Never had Kerby's Queso. I've only been there 1000 times for breakfast. I'll have to do lunch at some point and try it out.

For everyone not in the Southeast or Cali, your options are usually limited lol

Best place near me is called Macho Taco (they do more authentic street food). But they're like 40min from where I work, so when the cafeteria has jackshit to eat, I usually end up driving to Moes.

I do agree Moes chips > Chipolte chips. The Chipolte chips aren't as fresh and they MASSIVELY oversalt the fucking things.

Voted Moes, never been there or heard of them, but Chipotle is complete ass, so yeah.

Live in Tucson, AZ, which is a haven for amazing and cheap Mexican food, so don't do any of those crappy chains when we have stuff like Jason's, Los Betos, Taquerias and taco trucks on every damn corner.

if you are going to counter a Moe's vs Chipotle w/ another location, you should at least propose something w/ at least a few locations. of course any single location, family owned, authentic, etc. etc. place is going to be better.

speaking of AZ, and believe me when i say i love my TexMex, at times I miss the way AZ does it. mostly the shredded meat vs. ground you typically find here.

Try eating real Mexican food you disgusting heathens.

I actually did go that route - Jason's Mexican has 2 trucks and 2 restaurant locations (definitely still family owned but growing and multiple locations), and Los Betos has a bunch of locations throughout Tucson (13 or so). And they do vary a bit in quality. The one two miles away is not as good as the one a mile away, so I luck out.

Not national chains, but also not sole establishment places. We've also got Nico's which is totally cheap and also good in a pinch (and a billion locations), and some ___ibertos locations down here (Rallibertos, Filibertos, etc) which are all connected somehow, and quite tasty.

We definitely consider ourselves lucky to live in Tucson, named a UNESCO World City of Gastronomy (only other city in the US to get that title is San Antonio), so we're blessed, and can seriously go to sooooo many damn places to get amazing food, and not just Mexican. Although I almost feel like we could go to a different Mexican/Sonoran place every day for a year and not repeat.

Around me I'll go to green cactus for pickup. And Pancho villas for more authentic sit down.

Neither.

I have not been there. Looking at the reviews and it looks pretty well received. I might check it out next time I gotta do a meeting by there.
