“This was pretty good experience at Chili’s. The food was very tasty and served hot. Although it was typical chilis food it was consistently good tasting for the three of us. Two of us had pasta and hungriest of the three had a meat platter, sorry o forgot the name of it. Everyone was pleased. The advice was just enough and even the bathrooms were pretty clean.“

“I go to quite a few Moes around the area but this one I just have great things to say about the folks.

The manager is always there, happy to be there, and in the trenches with his folks and it reflects in the just culture and atmosphere of the restaurant.

Everything is clean, punctual and predictable. It’s a chain if you go expecting the same experience as a random taco truck of course you’re gonna be disappointed but for a repeatable and classic Moe Monday lunch you can’t miss here.“

“6.2/10
Food truck setup with friendly people and a clean-looking truck. Parking was okay and the food quality felt solid. Small menu and limited seating, but it worked fine for a quick stop. Overall location is in a sketchy spot.

Taco 6.2/10
Pretty good and well made. Tastes like a standard food truck taco and hits the mark.

Asada torta 6.2/10
Very good overall. Fresh-tasting cheese, perfectly toasted bread, and a generous amount of meat.“

“We ate at this Crabtree Mall location a few months ago, and had a great meal, with exceptional service from our server (Stella). But, today I just found out this location has been closed for good. How sad.... I wish we had as good an experience at their Durham location previously, but having eaten there two or three times, it was not as good as the Raleigh restaurant. Oh well. The food industry is rough to survive in these days.“
