During my freshman year of college, I went to Chipotle for the first time. It was the best burrito I’ve ever eaten, as cliché as that sounds. For the weeks after, I found myself going there at least once a week and eventually expanding my horizons and getting a burrito bowl. Last year, I went to Moe’s Southwest Grill and I instantly fell in love. Here are some reasons why Moe’s blows Chipotle out of the water.
More Options
At Chipotle, they have different kinds of meat and you can either get a burrito bowl or a burrito. At Moe’s, sometimes I find myself standing in front of the menu for 10 minutes trying to figure out what I want. At Moe’s, there’s so many options: burritos, stacks, burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas, and endless amount of toppings to put on whatever you decide to get: beans, rice, olives, pico, guacamole, steak, ground beef, tofu, queso, and the best of all, the chipotle ranch sauce. At Chipotle, it seems as though one is limited to a steak burrito with guacamole.
Customer Service
“Welcome to Moe’s!” is the first thing you hear when you enter Moe’s. The workers are extremely friendly and if your order isn’t ready by the time you go to pay, they bring it to you at whatever table you are sitting at. At Chipotle, often times customers are overwhelmed by the long line that greets them. When ordering, the workers are extremely rushed to get the order completed instead of taking the time to ask customers what they want.
No E.coli
Need I say more? A couple months ago, the news released a major story that a major E.coli outbreak came from people eating food at Chipotle. Moe’s has never had an issue with their food.
Queso
Moe’s is famous for their queso. It really is the best queso ever. Chipotle doesn’t even offer queso. At Moe’s, you can get queso, whether it’s in your order, or on the side with chips. They even have free queso day on Thursday, September 15th. Does Chipotle even give anything away for free other than E.coli?
I hope all of you Chipotle fans out there eventually go to Moe’s and see that it’s better.
