    Earmuff - chicken bowl
    Annabelle L.

    Ok, I usually don't give four stars rating for a fast food chain especially when it is located within a mall but I must say that this place really deserves it. I see negative reviews from others but perhaps it was an off day from Moe's...not sure. I ordered the chicken bowl, rice, beans, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, corn and extra grilled veggies and mushrooms. It was delicious and actually plentiful that I had to take half home. All orders comes with free chips and salsa dip (yep, beat that chipotle and QDOBA!) There is a line but it moved pretty quick and customer service is fine. I wanted to get the tortilla on the side to wrap my own burrito and they didn't charge extra.

    I actually like this most location it wasn't a bad experience. I was a little skeptical because it is located inside of the food court inside the jersey garden mall. The food is a little pricey compared to other locations probably because of its location. I got a chicken bowl with rice and a few toppings and a drink I paid close to $20 for all that food. They charge $3.99 for A bottle of water which is a little absurd. The staff working there seem split between friendly and summer just don't care. I do want to point out that my customer service experience with the gentleman working on the food line was extraordinary. He was an amazing personality and he individualized to each customer and made ordering their food that much more exciting. He had a huge Smile on his face and actually attempted to make conversation with the customers. He also made things interesting by putting a little pizzazz when putting condiments on your food, which I thought was awesome considering no fast food joint ever take the time to care about their customers like that. I think his name was Maddie. This man deserves recognition! I chose to eat at Moe's because it seems like the better option of all the other fast food joints in the area in the food court.

    I don't understand why this place has so many negative reviews, today was first experience with Moe's Southwest, and everything was fine. As I walked by I saw the Art Vandalay (Seinfeld reference) and decided this was the place for me. I ordered a Joey bag o'donuts (whole wheat wrap, brown rice, ground beef, lettuce, pick de gallo, onions and cheese) if you want Guac, then you can get the Homewrecker, and pay an extra buck. They even throw in free nachos in your bag, sorta like Five Guys with the extra scoop of fries. The staff was pleasant, the food was solid, but the nachos definitely weren't as good as Chiplote. Either way, this place reminds me of Qdoba, with the friendly staff and quality Mexican fast food.

    Was at the mall today shopping and was hungry so I stopped by Moes Southwest Grill for a quesadilla. Immediately my first sight was a gentlemen behind the counter and I think his name was Maddy but he was full of energy smiling at everyone and treating everyone great! Everyone else behind the counter was kind of all quiet and not welcoming. This guy Maddy was making everyone smile and you barely see that anywhere. The quesadilla wasn't bad it was pretty decent surprisingly. All I know is the employee made my experience that much better.

    For the chaos, I applaud these employees! One stand-out was the dude whose name tag said, "Hello, Jesus!" He was great! The service was quick & friendly, but sort of intimidating. They almost expected you to know what goes with what and what the toppings on certain things should be. Luckily, "Hello, Jesus" was very kind & explained everything. I had the Close Talker with Chicken & Guacamole. It was tasty. I chose the wrong dressing (Southwest Vinaigrette) as it was waaaaay too spicy. Overall, for food court fare, I was happy with the whole thing but the shell really shoulda been crunchy & I wish they didn't nickel & dime you for everything on the salad.

    Yuk. Really really bad. And expensive, they put price tag on salt if they can. Avoid and avoid.

Our waiter brought out drinks and chips with salsa. We skipped appetizers, and just got entrees. That night, I went with the Tacos de la Calle (Classic Street Tacos plate), which comes with 3 tacos, Mexican rice and beans (black or pinto), and all the usual fixings. I got the Combination so I could pick different ones. I got: -- Shrimp on a soft flour tortilla - shrimp comes with sliced avocado and jicama. This was my favorite one. -- Chicken on a soft corn tortilla - chicken comes with cotija cheese, red onion, and cilantro. 2nd favorite. -- Chorizo on crunchy corn tortilla - spicy sausage comes with red onion and cilantro. I realized next time Ill leave the crunchy corn tortilla for Taco Bell. It's not bad, but the fillings are so good - I'd have preferred a soft tortilla or even the lettuce wrap. Our waiter was nice. She looked out for us during our meal, checking in to see if we needed anything. Also, they brought out a surprise churro dessert for our birthday celebrant and the table to share... Friday night we had a great time at River and Rail Cantina.

    Tex-Mex & Sushi , Whaaaaaat?…read more This is the kind of place you go when you're hungry and "ballin" on a budget". In other words, you get a ton of food for an unbeatable price; however the tastiness factor isn't exactly up to par. Ideal for delivery and late night feasting that won't empty your pocketbook. -You won't leave here hungry, but you sure as heck won't be rushing back with pregnant lady cravings -Fresh Tortillas Grill gets extra points for friendly staff, convenient hours and offering delivery -They're version of a Quesadilla is piling ingredients between two tortillas, making it into more of a salad; with tortillas on the bottom and top. Absolutely nothing holds the ingredients and the tortillas together. The chicken was cooked & seasoned perfectly - Never heard of a Tex-Mex Sushi place before. Considering the limited dining options in Downtown Newark, I'll take it -The Restaurant itself is kind of an eyesore. It's run down and won't give ya' any "So Fresh, So Clean" vibes. On the flipside, when the food is so cheap, I'll sacrifice cleanliness for affordability.

    Two solid stars. That's double what a Tex-Mex/Sushi restaurant should get!…read more The main thing is the Mexican, which dominates the menu. The stuff I had was nearly inedible, but you may be able to find something better. The sushi, though falling apart, was actually not bad. And there were plenty of condiments to go around. The teriyaki combo is just mexican food with teriyaki drizzle. I nearly cried the first time I came in--I placed my order, then the owner came out with a beautiful large fish, some delicious-looking greens, and various chinese sides. I said "Ooh, can I order that???" The person at the counter snickers. "No, we don't sell that!" Waahh. FTG is on the corner of drive by and drug deal, of which there is a view from my apartment. It's open late, even Sundays, which can be a lifesaver.

Recently I decided to check it out again and I'm glad I did. Sometimes it's nice to see a restaurant update its interior, but in this case almost nothing has changed inside, but that's fine. The unique "bottle lights" in the ceiling, the dark wood and various tchotchke distributed throughout the restaurant really give it a whimsical feeling. The staff is super friendly, something that I remember from previous visits. During my most recent visit I was seated very quickly by the super nice hostess. My waiter came over a few minutes later and was super nice and I never felt neglected during my meal. The menu has changed dramatically since my last visit. I remember there being fish tacos that featured grilled fish (instead of battered and fried). I also used to enjoy having a vegetarian quesadilla but those are off the menu, replaced with a veggie burrito. The burrito is good but I preferred the quesadilla.
