    the guy who threatened my dad

    very very poor. staff was rude as soon as we got there. then they proceeded to not give us our drinks (okay forgetful that's okay) and my brother reached to grab the small cups we payed for. the lady who rang us up smacked my brothers hand away and told him not to reach over there and i politely asked them to be nicer. the lady was automatically rude to me and mocked me. my bf asked for her name and she ignored him. later the fountain machine went white, the screen went blank. my bf politely told a different lady and she said "that's not f*ing funny. my father got up and started telling that lady that he's not happy about the whole staff being rude to his family. the lady then started being rude to us. mind you this is a new lady. she made my food and i was very very nice. i told her that where i work even if the customers are rude to me (which we weren't being) that i still have a smile on my face. my dad then asked for a manager for help with the machine. the original lady came up to my dad and told them to contact the business online.. and i quote.. "i'm not f*cking dealing with you right now y'all are being a bunch of a*holes." i could never imagine ever treating a customer like this. my dad then tried to take a picture of her from where the register is to report her and this bigger guy that works there ran up to him from the other side of the wall and my dad jumped. the guy asked him why he jumped and my dad said "bc you just tried to run up on me". my dad started walking away and the guy said.. again and i quote.. "if you wanna see me run up on you we can go outside then i'll catch you there." then i started to get involved. bc be rude? okay sure that's fine not illegal but to threaten my dad when all of us were being nice to you? that's absurd. i started yelling at him saying "are you f*cling kidding me? did you really just threaten him? then i tried to start recording and the manager (i think) lady started telling me that she's going to call the cops on us if we didn't leave. i walked out. we then realized that me cousin was i. the bathroom that entire last encounter and so my dad went in there and waited for him (he's 14). i couldn't imagine treating people the way they did us today. i work a food business way busier then they ever are and i might be frustrated sometimes but i never take it out on the customers. even if they are being rude. looking at these reviews, it's crazy that nothing has been done for these terrible employees. i can guarantee that if the manager didn't think it was okay to treat customers like that then the rest wouldn't either. there's no reason why this problem hasn't been fixed yet and i will be calling corporate as soon as the open, at 9 am Monday morning.

    I think I was clear in asking for extra rice and extra beans on the puny little burrito they gave me...

    Oh for the love of Pete. We had eaten here about 5 times with fairly decent results until this week. I placed my normal order for two burritos, one being the Art V. with only rice, beans, cheese and fresh jalapenos, and so as always I ordered "Extra Rice and Extra Beans." Stated clearly on the item order as well as the overall comment section order. And I clicked the slider to indicate double rice. Figured I had my bases covered. Now, it was Moe Monday where everything is $6.99 it seems, but I didn't care, I wanted two full-size burritos as I ordered. When I got the bag it seemed light to me, but I mistakenly waited to get home to look. What I pulled out were two anemic little burritos that were actually not even large enough to call soft tacos. Both together would not equal a normal burrito. This would not have upset me so much if I had not just paid $24 for 2 burritos and some queso dip and gotten what around $4 would have gotten me at Taco Bell. My wife called and we were told by the woman who answered "we ran out of full-size burrito shells. And everything is the same price anyway today." No, not acceptable. I said out loud before the call ended that I was going down there, which would explain why a guy who I assume was the manager on duty met me at the register. He gave me a very curt "Can I help you?" Not a good start. I was on the fence on having them remake the order or getting my money back until that moment. His hostile tone and posture made up my mind. "I would like my money back for this order." "What's wrong with it?" (Still hostile) I pulled out the tiny (and I mean tiny, Taco Bell's $1.00 bean and cheese burritos are larger) Art V and said "This is NOT a full-size Burrito." "Yeah, well, we ran out of full-size shells." I looked around when I came in and noticed everyone in there with burritos eating full-size burritos, and the staff on the line making, you guessed it, full-size burritos. I said something about it being totally unacceptable to give us such a tiny little thing for $7 and was told again, everything is the same price on that day. Again, hostile attitude. I don't care what sort of insane price thing they have, sending someone out the door with two tiny little burritos and a cup of queso and charging them $24 (Well, $22 because I added a $2 tip as always...) is absurd. And compounding that by treating me as if I am the jerk because I am unhappy with that, is the epitome of poor customer service. I said I wanted my money back, he angrily asked me if I wanted him to remake the order but at that point, no way in hell. I said no, I want my money back, and I want the name and number of the manager. After fumbling with the register and failing to refund my card, he shoved the cash for the order in my hand, went in the back for 3 minutes and came back out with a single name "Carolyn" and the phone number for the store scribbled on a scrap of paper. He told me she was the store manager, and would be there tomorrow. I left. I intended to go down the next day but how much time do I feel like spending with this now that I am over an hour in? I sent in a comment through the "How did we do?" link at the bottom of the order. 24 hours ago I got an email from corporate: "Thank you for alerting us about the recent issue regarding your purchase at Moe's Southwest Grill. We take the incident you described very seriously and apologize for any problems you encountered as a result. This particular Moe's is an independently owned and operated franchise. We have forwarded your concerns to the owner/operator and have asked them to reach out to you as soon as possible. Loyal guests are the foundation of our business. Your satisfaction is important to us and is one of the many reasons we are committed to providing a quality, great-tasting product with quick and friendly service." No response from the owner 26 hours later. So, unfortunately, I cannot recommend THIS Moe's location in any way. Honestly, I've never been treated so poorly in a customer service situation. They obviously figure that the college kids will offer them a continuously replenishing supply of customers so they don't care what the locals think or if we eat there.

    The service at this location is incredibly slow compared to others. My most recent visit was horrible. They gave me old, soggy, flimsy, gross lettuce. They say you get free chips with every purchase, but they were out of chips and did not offer to make more. They were also out of spicy chipotle sauce

    Yet again, an hour delay on online orders! I consider it standard operating procedure for this place.

    I live right on top of a 'Mexican' restaurant and every time I go there it's due to sheer…read moredesperation for lack of good Mexican food in CNY. Every time I lament the fact I spent money to eat there... I had read that this was a good one on the 'Where Syracuse Eats' Facebook page, which can be a pit of snakes at times. I decided to bookmark it, as a 'just in case' I was ever passing through Waterloo. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical when my mom and I walked in around 5:30-5:45 p.m. and not a soul was in the place. Apparently, people in Waterloo eat dinner around 6 p.m. so the place was popping as we were eating and then leaving. My mom is a vegetarian so we shared the vegetarian combo D plate. I ate the tostaguac and she had the enchilada, and we shared the rice. I normally find the rice at Mexican restaurants to be underwhelming, even at my favorite spot in Detroit. This was delicious and I ate it! (There may have been some debate on who should get the last few bites of rice!) I also ordered a side of their hot salsa. I think this was $2 but it was so good and so worth it. The regular salsa was fine but not spicy at all. Service was fast once we decided what to order. No pictures because I was too excited by an actual Mexican place within a reasonable distance from me! Skip the places in Syracuse and come to La Fiesta Brava!

We waited for over 20 minutes before we left. To their defense, they were totally overwhelmed. should've been their biggest moneymaker of the year Cinco de Mayo and they failed miserably. I'll never go back there. Was never really impressed with their food anyways this is no shape or form of authentic Mexican food. The ambience has much to be desired as well. It was a filthy dump.

    Walking in the door we were met with some teenagers running out. Not the restaurants fault but…read morekinda set the tone for the experience. This was our first experience at this location. The tables looked like the lunch rush had just came through and were not wiped all the way clean. Now one thing I never seen anywhere else was they had cleaner/sterilizer at every table with a roll of paper towels. Maybe they assumed each customer would clean the tables themselves or it was to make it easy for whoever was cleaning the tables. They have a normal amount of options for a burrito shop. What they don't have is salsa with the chips. I know places like Chipotle and Moes (Chain places) have the salsa bar. Most other burrito places I have been that are not chains will give you a small container of salsa or queso being an additional charge. We both got steak burrito's and I should have tried something else so we could review two options. The burritos are bigger than what the chain places offer. Flavor a little different. My wife said something was off with the steak I just thought it was over salted. It was very soft and was in an almost gravy looking juice. I have been to some places that ask every option and places that stand there and wait for you to tell them. This was a little of both. Not as many options as a chain restaurant. The staff seemed pretty friendly and we didn't have any issues with anyone. The food was at best ok. Great for the area it is in. All in all an ok experience. I will probably try them again with a different selection.
