Close Talker Bowl (no shell)

We ordered pick-up. The food tasted great, but our order was missing several items. Pros: -easy online ordering -menu items are customizable with numerous options to pick from -vegetarian options -reasonable prices -flavorful, satisfying food -free chips and salsa Cons: -tofu was missing from my tofu bowl -chips were missing from my order Luckily we checked for the chips and went back inside to ask for them. The salsa, we learned that you get yourself from the salsa bar. I did not realize the tofu was missing from my order until we got home. My order still tasted great and the chips and salsa were good. We may return again but would have to check our order before leaving the restaurant.

I've always liked to Moe's, it's cheap for the amount of food get, and it seems to be fairly fresh. The choice of sauces is usually pretty good, and the chips are always fresh and served warm. I only gave this location 3 stars because it seemed that every table had not been cleaned in a very long time. And the bathroom was downright disgusting. You would think during a time of a pandemic that they would do a better job of cleaning the place!

My DoorDash order at Moe's

Ok, so I love the food from Moe's and have never had a bad experience until this evening. I ordered two tacos and a junior burrito, with no chips. I'm speechless. The only reason it's not one star because it seems that they were busy because my DoorDasher was waiting for my order for a while...but also that's surprising to me because it's just a bag of chips...speechless...

Typical Moe's experience. Long line moves pretty fast. Nobody is overly friendly, but you order it your way and watch them get it right. On Mondays the Home-wrecker is the special with a drink and as always free chips and salsa for $7 with tax. Too much food. You can ask for your chips in a bag to go even if you're eating in. This particular Moe's isn't the most convenient one to enter from the road and at 12:45pm on a Monday I had to stalk a person to get a parking spot. This Moe's is pretty clean and still looks newish. It delivered, just what I expected, and that was $7 worth of Americanized Mexican food and decent unsweetened iced tea or Northern Tea as they call it. Too bad I only got one cup of it as I drained the container to get the first one. They were making more when I left, but they were making only sweet tea. Sorry, lost a star for that.

Ordered pick up. Arrived 10 minutes before order was said to be ready. Nachos were soggy and inedible.

Esmeralda Grill is a very authentic local Mexican spot that does a lot of things right, especially…read morewhen it comes to classic comfort dishes. I usually rotate between the tacos, enchiladas, and molcajetes, and while the tacos themselves are just okay, the overall experience is solid. The fresh chips are easily some of the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant (warm and crisp). Add queso to those chips and it really seals the deal. They more than make up for the tacos being a bit underwhelming and are honestly reason enough to come back. This is a great neighborhood spot if you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent chips and dips (biggest downside is no liquor aka no margaritas). Not every dish is a knockout, but the highlights keep it comfortably in 4-star territory.

Esmeralda Grill absolutely rocks, and it was almost a restaurant that I considered avoiding because…read moreI ordered the wrong thing. I was really one mayonnaise filled torta away from missing out on my favorite Mexican restaurant of Cary. The food is some of the freshest and most authentic in the area, and is consistently spot on. Forget heavy burritos or overly sauced enchiladas, this place is the real deal. When you come to Esmeralda Grill, you should really focus on the meat heavy dishes, whether it be via land or sea. There are so many different options to choose from, from both categories. When thinking seafood, expect the full fish. If you find yourself with the fresh grilled tilapia, you will receive a delicious whole fish that tastes as if it was caught that morning. It is such a fantastic option. I also appreciate the camarones a la diabla, or Diablo shrimp. The shrimp are plump and juicy, the spice of the dish is excites your taste buds and is a great dish. My favorite entrees are the land meat dishes though. El Trio Perfecto is my go-to order, it is grilled steak, chicken and pork all on one plate with rice, beans, salad, and tortillas. The Mexican spice rub on the meats is absolutely mouth watering, the flavors are so bold and tasty. The meats are all cooked to perfection and the portions are gigantic. You can make different tacos with the various meats, it is seriously one of my favorite Mexican dishes. I would highly recommend this! Additionally, Esmeralda Grill has so many other wonderful dishes for different flavor profiles. My grandparents are pretty particular about empanadas, but simply cannot get enough of Esmeralda's version. They also make some killer tacos, and some very affordable ones if you were to come on Tuesday! The moral of the story? Don't base your opinion of a restaurant after a single visit. You don't come across a fantastic hole in the wall every day, Esmeralda Grill is one that every Mexican food lover should know!

While the food is on the pricey end, the portion sizes make up for it and the quality is there. On my first visit, I tried their Tres Amigos dish. It is basically a mix grill with shrimp, steak and chicken. It came with rice, beans, and veggies. The meats were super flavorful and the rice and beans were actually great! I hate it when a Mexican place just dumps overcooked rice and goopy beans and calls it a day. The veggies were very clearly frozen and came from a bag, wasn't all that excited by that. I think arroz con pollo (ACP) is one of the simplest, yet, most delicious Mexican dishes. It is chicken, cheese and rice, how can you mess that up? Mamacita does their ACP justice. The chicken is tender, there is a nice balance between the cheese and rice, and it is just a great combination altogether. They also do a decent job with their birria tacos (although wasn't the biggest fan of the consume) and their churrasco plate. They even top it with a legit salad, not just the chopped lettuce and tomato. In the end, I am always full and satisfied with the meal. I certainly think this is worth a visit. Oh, I forgot to mention everyone's favorite thing about the place, they have a robot server! Definitely very cute.
