“This family owned restaurant has amazing food. Beautifully plated and the flavors were unlike any Mexican restaurant I've been to and much to the better. The wait staff was that perfect combo of checking in on the table but not interrupting too often. The owner personally stopped by our table and was just a lovely person. Let her talk you into the cheesecake flan. You won't regret it.“

“This has been our go to spot since we’ve moved here, when we have family visit we always make sure to bring them here and everyone has loved the food! Service has always been great until our most recent visit, our server gave my spouse an incredibly disgusted look when he ordered his tacos with shredded cheese on them (I know I know it’s not traditional) I was waiting for the server to make a joke about it like most do but instead my spouse received the rudest facial expression. Again, we love the food and have never had any negative experience before but that really rubbed me the wrong way.“

My only small complaint was that the restaurant was very loud both nights but I’m sure that’s the normal atmosphere.“

My husband devoured his carne asada burrito before I could take a picture. The al pastor in my quesadilla was on point!

“Really good food & affordable place to eat when you use your Moe’s app rewards. I hardly get takeout yet I was able to get a free soft taco and chips with different salsas and sauces with free guacamole to go using my app reward points last year & reward. I liked the new additional sauces they added. The service was great and they got me two samples of ranch sauce quickly since it ran out at the self serving area. The ambiance of the place was simple and clean. I came there late at night when they were near closing time (10 PM). was glad to get there in time. The free chips they gave with my taco were still delicious the next day and still good to eat after heating in the microwave. Actually they were the best chips I ever got from a Mexican food place. Will definitely visit this Moe’s more often. Cheers!“
