“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.“

“Ordered ahead during weeknight dinner time. Food was ready when I got there and the food tasted fresh. Staff weren't super friendly, but weren't rude either. Just... Nice enough. This location would probably benefit from a little extra customer service training to get that 5th star.“
