Baja Burrito in MV >> Moe's in CV

FYI.

1/28/2008 2:10:15 AM

this was established years ago

1/28/2008 2:10:55 AM

my parents have been looking into franchising a baja burrito.


shit is ridiculous though. gotta have like 2million in assets with 200k in cash and have some experience in the restaurant business.


50k just for the name and help set up... but buying all the shit is like 100k

1/28/2008 2:11:59 AM

I agree on most counts. Mole Chicken >>> plain grilled chicken, plus they have hot sauce.

However, the Chicken Club burrito from Moe's (bascially a standard chicken burrito, but with bacon and southwest ranch sauce) is most delicious. It can stand up with the ones from Baja on flavor.

Also Moe's has free salsa whereas Baja charges $.50 for theirs.

Overall Baja still wins but sometimes I go to Moe's to change it up.

Moe's off of Harrison Ave. in Cary >>Baja Burrito in MV >> Moe's in CV

1/28/2008 2:13:07 AM

1/28/2008 2:17:02 AM

yep, the one in CV is BY FAR the worst one i've ever been to

exactly my position when i lived in raleigh

I've seen the consensus about Baja here before--and I must've agreed. I've always eaten there.

I've been living in Raleigh for about eight years and last week was the first time I tried Moe's in CV--I just never saw the need before. Moe's let me down--I'm going back to Baja. And I'll never stray again.

we have one of these down the street from me

it puts everything else to shame

they give you burrito's bigger than your face

1/28/2008 2:30:52 AM

Moe's is a let down. so is fucking salsa fresh.

1/28/2008 2:30:55 AM

i used to be 100% behind moe's

i always hated qdoba

but recently i gave qdoba another try and i was pleasantly surprised

black cat in boone FTW though

^^^ With a name like "Machismo Burrito Bar," it better be good!

1/28/2008 2:39:39 AM

my vote goes to moes

although i think chipoltes is better, i hate to support macdonalds

1/28/2008 2:42:57 AM

you have your choice of brown or saffron rice....black or pinto beans....steak, chicken, or lamb (I think). Then they steam the tortilla.....load it up...and you choose all of your fixins....




I have 1 mor burrito stamp to get on my little card before I get a free one!!1
haha, I only needed like 7 in the first place.

Chipotle is owned by McDonald's? That's kind of a letdown. It was controlled by McDonald's but they have since divested all their holdings in Chipotle.

Oh well. Until there's one around here I won't worry about it, though I do like to go there when I'm in Greensboro...

theres one down wake forest rd, i went there for the first time last week, wasnt too impressed, i think moe's tastes better

1/28/2008 2:55:03 AM

Am I the only one here that has a, well, violent reaction to black beans? As the old saying goes, I love them--but they don't love me. Now I always order pintos.

1/28/2008 3:02:12 AM

I'm sure you're not the only one. But you're probably the only person that's willing to admit it. I commend your bravery.

myself? No, I love black beans. They taste great, and they don't make me poot uncontrollably. Also, they don't make my asshole leak a mysterious brown fluid.

1/28/2008 3:06:18 AM

^ And yet you are readily familiar with the symptoms. . .hmm. Curious.

1/28/2008 3:08:19 AM

there's one up on glenwood at the walmart shopping center


beans beans, they're good for your heart
beans beans, they make you fart
the more you fart, the better you feel
so eat your beans at every meal!

1/28/2008 3:11:26 AM

how this thread made it this far without a.....

Welcome To Moe's!!!!!!!!!!!!

is beyond me.

1/28/2008 3:12:21 AM

^^^ Not if you mash them before eating. You know, to let the air out.

^ And now we have it--thanks.

when it comes to bodily functions that are essential to maintaining life, like farting and burping, i say you should just enjoy it as much as possible, because you're going to do it no matter what!



this is not to mean that one needs to be indiscreet to enjoy it, stinking up the gentlemen's room is still fun i'm sure!

1/28/2008 3:14:23 AM

^ Just light a match, okay?

And eat at Baja.

1/28/2008 3:32:38 AM

only went to moes to get a 5 dollar ncsu t-shirt, went to baja the first time ever last week...for 6.20, the burrito fills you up like a mother

1/28/2008 3:33:40 AM

Chipotle's is FTW.

1/28/2008 4:34:01 AM

^my gf said we had to eat there. I guess it's the same as Moe's ish..?

1/28/2008 4:38:42 AM

My old roommate used to work at Baja. Soooo for about a semester and a half, we never went hungry.

Good times.

1/28/2008 4:39:59 AM

Chipotle is waaaaay better than Moe's, Baja Burrito, and Qdoba. There are several in the area now. As someone mentioned, there's one on Wake Forest Rd up in N Raleigh, but there's also one on Glenwood out near Duraleigh (next to Neo-China in the same shopping center as the Wal-Mart on Glenwood), and a brand new one just opened up this weekend in Cary--it's on Kildaire Farm, right near Hibernian and Goodberry's.

I first discovered Chipotle while I was living in Houston for the last two years, and was excited that they have them up here too when I moved back. Although now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the one on Glenwood has been around for 4-5 years at least, I just never ate there when I lived in the area previously.

Chipotle really cares about having quality ingredients, and that's what makes the burritos so damn good. They use a lot of organic, all-natural ingredients and touchy-feely sourcing for their meats (free-range chicken, no bovine growth hormone for their beef, etc), but it's really not any more expensive than what a similar burrito costs at the other places. It's good stuff.

Moe's is fucking dog food

Qdoba = Chipotle > Salsa Fresh > Moe's

1/28/2008 7:28:23 AM

my mom found a clump of dirt in her taco salad at Salsa Fresh once

when she took it up to the cashier, the lady said "what do you want me to do about it?"

i agree with that. the Moe's in Cameron Village almost turned me off of Moe's forever. I had two or three terrible meals there (undercooked meat, unfresh food, bad beans, etc), but now I go to the Moe's in Cary almost weekly and it's always been good

1/28/2008 7:41:40 AM

baja is a dump

You order in the same way you do like at Moe's, however, the food tastes a whole helluva lot better.

There's one right there on Glenwood too by the Wal-Mart

1/28/2008 7:47:31 AM

Out of all the burrito places I think Moe's is the worst. I've only ever been to the one off Harrison, so I can only imagine how bad the one in Cameron Village is. Their burrito was almost flavorless, and they had a ton of salt in their cheese.

"Also Moe's has free salsa whereas Baja charges $.50 for theirs."

IIRC Baja has free chips that come with the burrito where Moe's and just about every other place charges extra for them.

^They just opened one off Kildaire... today if I'm not mistaken.

V yeah, I went about a year ago. It sucked so much I never went back, and like the first I in IIRC implies...

you really havent been to Moe's, have you?

1/28/2008 7:55:16 AM

no?

moes doesnt charge for chips

at least the one i went to yesterday

1/28/2008 7:55:41 AM

I hate that fucking free chips argument... chips ain't gonna make up for a plate of fucking dog food. And those chips are shit anyway.

1/28/2008 7:57:15 AM

^Nope, but it's a nice complement to a good meal (Baja).

1/28/2008 7:58:18 AM

Just be happy you have options.

moe's is only burrito joint within a 30 minute drive of me

1/28/2008 7:58:54 AM

Willy's > anything else.

I wish Baja put lettuce on its burritos.

what about qdoba and salsarita's?

1/28/2008 8:41:56 AM

This thread made me want a burrito, and then I remembered I get a free burrito today at the new Chipotle in Cary

1/28/2008 9:06:03 AM

Moe's CV is def not representative of what Moe's is supposed to be. They are the worst location in the area. I worked for Moe's (not the one in CV) for 2 years and helped open the one on Harrison Ave. as well as the one in Brier Creek. I've been to the CV location a couple times and its just horrible compared to every other location I've been to. I believe there's one open off of Walnut St. now where the Ale House past Crossroads. If you live near NC State at least try that one (I've never been but its gotta be better than CV and closer than Harrison).

1/28/2008 9:15:53 AM

Chipotle FTW

I used to go to Qdoba all the time, then I tried Chipotle, and I just cannot eat a burrito from anywhere else anymore.

Nothing comes close.

Plus, I crave their guacamole like nobody's business.
