We Ranked This Mexican Restaurant Chain First In Quality And Freshness - Tasting Table

"But in the world of fast-casual Mexican restaurants, not all deliver quite the same quality. In fact, Tasting Table ranked 11 fast-casual Mexican joints from worst to best, and overall, one reigned supreme in quality and freshness: Moe's Southwest Grill. If you've never had Moe's Southwest (and you're lucky enough to have one in your area), this is your sign to try it."

"In a recent Reddit post about a user's positive experience trying out a Moe's pork carnitas bowl, one previous Moe's employee chimed in about the restaurant chain's quality, recalling "cutting tomatoes daily, anywhere from 25 to 100 [pounds]," as well as large quantities of other fresh produce served on the cold line. Unlike beloved menu items at Taco Bell, which use lots of processed ingredients, Moe's menu items' taste aligns with what the brand calls on its website "a stubborn obsession with fresh ingredients" and bold flavors."

"In addition to fresh ingredients, Moe's has some quality food items that keep customers coming back. Most notably, the queso, chipotle ranch, and an array of fresh salsas to choose from. Besides its noteworthy fast food tacos, burritos, and bowls, the chain is also known for serving free chips and salsa with its meals (which many other chains charge for these days), and $9.95 value meal deals and special occasion offerings like $2 taco"
