    Quessaburra Taco
    Jeremy B.

    3/11/25 Ate List: Chicken Club Quesadilla - 6.3 Quesabirra Taco - 6.5 This location was BACKED up. Lunch rush is an understatement. However, order in the app, significantly faster. The Chicken Club Quesadilla is a usual for me from Moe's. First time getting it at this location though. This thing was delicious but so so messy. The Quesabirra Taco was a bit more contained. Both tasty items. Not disappointed.

    Another day of Moe's takeout!

    I love this Moe's location. Full disclosure, I frequently partner with Moe's on social media campaigns. However, I am also frequently a customer, as I work just a block or two from this location. They are great for a quick lunch stop. I usually order in the app and pick up. They have a dedicated pickup location on Forbes just before the main restaurant, a completely separate location with a different entrance. This can be a bit confusing if you're not a regular. They move you through very efficiently even though they often get a long line, especially during the lunch hours. They have recently renovated their little patio outside the restaurant with some greenery to make it feel private, so during nice weather you have a nice place to sit if you'd like to eat here; there is indoor seating as well. Burritos, bowls, tacos and quesadillas can all be made using essentially the same ingredients. I love their food, which is fairly priced and has never once made me sick like the fast casual Mexican competitor right across the street. Chips and salsa are also free which is not the case everywhere. Welcome to Moe's!

    Here are the chips pre packaged for someone else's order two hours prior and then re sold to me.

    This was very unfortunate. I will start by saying I really like Moes. It's nostalgic and I usually am a fan of the food. This experience was not ok. Firstly I walk in and the one employee is eating AT THE COUNTER next to the open food. That is disgusting and a complete health/food violation. I don't want to blame the employee because I don't know if they were new and undertrained but there was clearly no supervision. Firstly everything I asked for they would go for a different item. I asked for onions they went for tomato's. I was very patient throughout. I requested chips and queso with my meal. They grabbed a queso that had been sitting there pre packaged. Mind you there was NO ONE in the place for this to need to be pre packaged. I fully knew this would be cold and congealed. They then grabbed a bag on the counter for the chips that was clearly used and crinkled to put the chips in. Again I noticed the bag was half full of pre packaged chips and they topped it off with new chips. I decided to be quiet and pay and eat what was edible and leave. When I get the bag there is a ticket on the bag from another order from two hours prior. So it had all been sitting there for two hours. This was one of the weirdest and frankly grossest food experiences I've ever had.

    This location is right in downtown Pittsburgh close to PPG Place (The Glass Castle looking sky scrapper). My mobile order was made fresh. The free chips and salsa bar are a nice touch.

    Decided to stop my Moe's on the ay to the pirates game for a quick bite to eat since we knew it would be fast and affordable! We love it here since you never have to pay extra for guac which is amazing! We ordered the steak bowl with all of the fixings! It was a little disappointing though because the amount of guac they gave us was so tiny, and that is one of the parts we look forward to the most. We didn't want to be rude and ask for more (and maybe we should've), but we had hoped to get a little bit more than that. Other than that, the meal was great! The steak was super tender and all of the flavors from the extra toppings we got went well together!

    Paid for water.
    Luke L.

    Update: I'm happy to say, this was made right. The owner explained that they missed our message because a few admins have access. The also let us know that the manager that enacted the "no free water" policy had been let go, and lastly we were given some comp food for our experience. I want to be clear though that we aren't giving a 5 star for the free food, but because the owner went to extraordinary trouble to make it right, and fixed the main issue with the water. I stand by our first review, that the food was absolutely delicious, so with water problem aside it is definitely a good Moe's to eat at!

    Burrito, chips, and queso
    Kellie U.

    Man I've been sleeping on the burritos at Moe's. I got a free one for my birthday, so I gave it a try. My burrito had chicken, seasoned rice (small amount), black beans, bacon, pico and queso. This thing was so so good! So much flavor and was incredibly filling. This will be a go to meal for lunch! The chips and quaso were a nice addition. The only negative was how long it took to get the food. It was excessive. They need more people ringing customers out.

    Queso and chips
    Jenna W.

    Been here multiple times and it is by far my favorite fast service Mexican restaurant. There are so many topping choices for your burrito, bowl, salad, quesadilla, etc. They don't limit you either, so you can put as many ingredients as you like on your meal. Each meal you get free chips, which is a huge plus in my opinion. The salsa bar within the restaurant has a nice variety of different temperature salsa. Their queso is delicious! Keep an eye out for Free Queso Day, where they give out free cups of queso and bag of chips. This location ran this year's event very organized. As I walked in, I was asked if I was ordering food or only there for queso. I was directed to a separate line, away from the lunch rush, and given my queso within 2 minutes. I recommend signing up for their rewards program. You receive points with every purchase and discounts throughout the year. Plus a free entree on your birthday!

    My friend and I were invited to a tasting event for the spicy chicken last week down at the Market Square location. This was probably the best quality Moe's that I've had in a while! Their queso is to die for and I can't go to Moe's and not get it! I got a stack for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. The spicy chicken has a good kick to it, and for me I would give it a four or five out of 10. I love all of the fresh food and of course the salsa bar!

    Close Talker veggie salad w/ salsas & Guacamole
    Kelly M.

    Went here for a healthy, light lunch. I had the veggie Close Talker (salad), and there were lots of fresh toppings to choose from. I also got a bag of tortilla chips with my salad. I decided to make it a meal for $2.50 more, where I got a small side of guacamole and a 20oz drink. My meal tasted pretty good, though the grilled veggies were a bit bland to me, and I added a bunch of other toppings to make up for the portion of lettuce, which I think could have been a bit larger. I really enjoyed the Southwest dressing - tart and vinegary, perfect to cut through the richness of the black beans & (bland) grilled veggies. Price was just ok - burritos & bowls are a better value & will be more filling. Inside of the restaurant was clean. They also sell some varieties of bottled beer here which I did not expect! They have bathrooms but they have a combination door lock, and with the long line, I didn't have the patience to wait for assistance. The salsa bar had 4 salsas to choose from, which was a nice addition to their tortilla chips! I got the verde salsa and the medium salsa which were delicious! My main gripe is that only one of the Coca Cola freestyle machine was functioning, and when I went to select my drink, every diet option was out! I think they should have put a sign on there, or explained at the register. I ended up getting a flavored water.

It's a very lively space with a not-too-adventurous menu (great for less adventurous grandparents). Some things that I wish were a little smoother include: - not placing us with a baby directly under a strong cold air vent - faster service for both drink refills and getting our food out, this took extremely long on a weekday evening Overall we had a decently good time and I'd consider coming back for happy hour or late night happy hour, but it's unfortunately not high up on my list for a regular meal based on how long everything took.

    Why did you have to "improve" the burritos, Mad Mex?…read more The old spicy chicken burrito was perfect. It was dependable, comforting, and exactly what I wanted when I didn't feel like cooking but also didn't want disappointment wrapped in a tortilla. Now we've traded actual chicken breast for chopped chicken thighs, and somehow I'm supposed to pretend it's the same thing? It's not. Different texture, different taste, different experience entirely. The old burrito was a warm hug. The new one feels like someone saying "best we can do." And yes, I know the menu is massive and endlessly customizable. But sometimes people don't want innovation. Sometimes they just want the thing they've been ordering for years without it getting "updated." At the very least, give customers the option to substitute chicken breast for the thighs. Everybody wins: the thigh enthusiasts stay happy, and the rest of us can reunite with the burrito we've been missing. The service is always spot on and the atmosphere is great...now to figure out what my new "old standby" order will be. Decisions.....decisions!

To start, we had the jalapeño cheese dip. The jalapeño flavor was subtle, but detectable. However the cheese tasted like American, so it wasn't the most authentic. For my main, I asked if they could add soy-chorizo to the mushroom and cheese enchilada and the waiter said they were not able to, which was a little disappointing. I ended up getting the enchilada with just soy-chorizo. It was tasty, but the soy-chorizo was a bit dry. My husband enjoyed the steak burrito, but found their hibiscus juice a bit too sweet.

These tacos are made Mexican style, meaning it comes with onions and cilantro with lime on the side. It also came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. The potatoes were too soft in my opinion. I think if you were going for grilled side veggies, it's better to make it a tad crispy and browned. For the Taco Tuesday Special, I got the al pastor, steak fajita, and chicken tinga tacos. The best one had to be the al pastor because it wasn't dry and had lots of flavor. I opted for the red morita spicy sauce, and trust it actually has spice and kick to it. The tacos are double layered, which is nice. Decent meal for a Tuesday dinner, their menu is pretty basic for a taco place. For instance, their only dessert is churros with chocolate sauce.

At $4 a taco, when they are generous with the authentic meat filling, double up on the freshly grilled corn tortillas, and allow unlimited toppings made fresh daily make these tacos one of the best deals around. The filling is already super flavorful, so you don't necessarily need extra toppings, but I like adding extra onions and cilantro. For me, a lot of the salsas were extra spicy, so my recommendation is to taste them before putting them on the taco. The ones I got honestly didn't need any extra added flavor. I got the steak and onions and the pork with pineapple and loved them both equally. I got them last week and already miss them - the smell and texture of the meat, the fresh toppings, how your breath tastes after, the combo of everything together - definitely a solid taco joint
