Ripped booths

Use to love this place. Now it seems there allowing it to fall apart. The food is just ok. The inside dining area is appalling. Dirty and a lot of ripped up booths. They need to step it up.

Moe's is to real Tex/Mex, what Red Baron is to real pizza - Not even close! I don't mean that it is bad per se, because the ingredients are decent and the outcome has a passing resemblance to authentic TexiMexi; it's just that the ultimate experience was somewhat hollow if you know what the real stuff can do. My Homewrecker, wasn't. It was simply a large burrito wrapped in a premade tortilla that held chicken, black beans, rice, lettuce, pico, cheese, and jalapeno slices. Although the chicken was ostensibly grilled, this gordito was cooler than room temperature when consumed. I would have much preferred a hot tortilla and warm innards. Didn't happen. It wasn't any fun to eat, even if it was healthy and filling. The accompanying chips were run of the mill mass produced corn crisps. The only spark of creativity came from the Salsa Bar, which had a few interesting options. The Cranberry Salsa was refreshingly good. Given the ever growing number of Mexican, Guatemalan, Salvadoran restaurants springing up in Trenton and Hamilton, Moe better hope that enough people are either afraid to go to those real places, or happy to partake of the neutered platters he puts out. As for me, I am too far gone on the authentic comidas de America Centrale to ever find this place satisfying.

What is also nice is how this moe's also is partly a Carvel's ice cream so you can get ice cream here too with whatever toppings you want as well.

I'd known about them for years, but they were kind of out of the way for me. The place is small and unassuming, which gave me high expectations, as sometimes I find myself having lower expectations for a more "Mexican" decorated place (I'm wrong as often as I'm right). As far as the Fish Tacos went, they do not serve the Baja style fried fish tacos that I'd grown up on out west, so it was a downer when the plater arrived and I saw the tacos filled with chopped fish cooked in broth. That said, at least the taco was well filled and the fish had a very good flavor. The broth turned out to be a major issue, as the (very tasty) single layer tortillas were soaking up the broth while I ate the first taco, and the second and third tacos both split at the seams and fell apart after one or two bites. A second tortilla may have prevented this debacle, but I won't order fish tacos here again. I'd have loved a fish soup made in this style. The next visit I tried Tacos de Tripa (fried pork intestines), which is my current go to taco style. They were very good, and I enjoyed the heck out of them. They were nice and crispy as I'd requested, and the excellent tasting tortilla made them an excellent choice. My wife had a cheese tamal that had ribbons of poblanos inside as well, and it was also very good with the poblanos providing a nice balance to the heaviness of the cheese. I'd get both again in a heartbeat. My third visit was at lunchtime, and I opted for a Torta de Chili Relleno--essentially a chili relleno sandwich. It wasn't the first I've ever had, and it's a fave torta when I see them on the menu--which isn't often. The torta arrived with a nice sized chili relleno along with the usual smear of beans, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and a couple pieces of queso fresco served on a lightly toasted roll. Overall, the torta was very good tasting, and it went down nicely. However, I wish they used a little firmer roll instead of the soft one they did use. The torta was big and warm, and a crustier roll would have been better. The soft one used was near to collapsing under the weight of the ingredients. Fries are an option on the many torta options for a couple dollars extra. In retrospect, I'd have liked to have added a layer of fries to the sandwich for a little extra kick. All in all, El Gallo Tropical is a place I'll continue to go to. The staff is very friendly, and the menu is extensive (too big?). Although I had them initially at three stars after my first visit for fish tacos, the second (4+) and third (4-) visits have raised them up, and I'm rounding up to a four.

The tacos were pretty good, the steak fajita dish was also very good, the Baja fish tacos were on the dry side but ok. Downsides: place is new and obviously folks are flooding this place to try them out. The staff is overwhelmed. We were seated quickly, but menus took a while because they were short whole menus. The kitchen was also overwhelmed. I saw people leaving with bag fulls of food. For $2 tacos people were likely ordering by the truckload. Our order took 40 mins to reach the table. And to be honest, I wanted more food but couldn't afford to wait close to an hour for it. I will say that the owner was walking to the tables and let us know what was going on- totally appreciated it. She also gave us a discount to help make things right which we also appreciated. We gave the discount and the tip to the waitress. The waitress was phenomenal. Clearly under pressure. She knew that we were antsy because of the wait and she really did try to be extra attentive with drinks and chips. Big kudos to her. New place going thru the growing pains. Don't give them a hard time. I'll be back and look forward to seeing them settle in.
