I know, I know, I said it. I have finally put this out in the open after debating it with many people. I will stand firm in my belief that Moe's is, in fact, better than Chipotle. While Chipotle is a very close second, I still think Moe's has it beat. Here's why.

1. When you walk in the door, all of the employees greet you with a fairly genuine "WELCOME TO MOE'S!"

At Chipotle, you are lucky if they make eye contact with you.

2. They record how many visits you have on an iPad at the register and at a certain amount, you get a free entree.

This can be slightly embarrassing; the number may or may not have said 52 visits the last time I went. They also give you a free entree on your birthday.

3. The menu variety.

I'm all about short and simple and Chipotle has that covered, but something about having the choice between nachos, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, stacks, burrito bowls, or salads really wins me over.

4. Moe's Monday.

Now this should be a national holiday each week. On Monday's, Moe's does $5 entrees. Now, every Monday you won't have to feel bad for spending so much money going out to dinner.

5. Kids eat free on Sunday.

I'm not a kid and I don't have kids, but one day I'm sure I will appreciate this part a lot more. If you are a kid, this happens to be a great way to make your parents take you out to eat.

6. Free chips and salsa (and free guac on some things on the menu).

This might be the best part of Moe's. Not only do they give you free chips, but as many free chips as you want. Baskets full, actually.

7. Queso, queso, queso.

I think this one is pretty self explanatory and something Chipotle cannot make up for. If you haven't tried it, stop whatever you're doing and go find the closest Moe's.
