Moe's isn't that great.
Yes, I know. Heresy. Well, let me finish. Think about it. Every time you open that door, a few obviously uninterested teens utter in a ever-decreasingly enthusiastic fashion, "Welcome to Moe's!?" They don't mean it. What they mean to say is, "Thanks for interrupting my attempt at the most consecutive-hours-spent-texting record, Moron." Then you get in line to buy slightly upscale Taco Bell food with fancy, hard to remember names. What's worse is this: the difference between this 4 worded named burrito and the other one is sour cream. What happens if you order the first one and just ask for it without sour cream. Mayhem! And that's not what you want to start when dealing with pimply faced texting ninjas.
So I offer you another option to fill your craving for tomoto, lettuce, cheese, and meat wrapped in a tortilla. Are you ready?
Chipotle is Moe's on crack. Not the nasty crack that you can get on the street of any urban metropolis. The good kind. You know what I'm talking about. After this revelation, I've decided to vote for the first politician I see eating at Chipotle. I don't care what his or her views are on this issue or that issue. With Chipotle in the belly, they will certainly have the strength and wisdom to lead our country back from the embarrassing blunders of the past few years. My heart and stomach are warmed.

I applaud your valiant effort to reduce the ridiculous infatuation that so many have with Moe's. While I enjoy the savvy music scene and decent attempt at giving you good salsa, Moe's has lost it for me in the following ways:
1) Increased prices (often accomplished by taping a number over the previous price)
2) Cost to add guacamole, sour cream, etc.
3) Decision to go all-white with the chips and reducing the whimsical feeling of eating something bluish-purple.
4)Changing the size of the Moo-Moo. (which used to be children's menu item that let me get away with a low priced stomach-filler).
That said, we ate at Chipotle on Sunday. Great quality. Clean. And I discovered Tabasco's new Pepper Sauce which is a cool new addition to my affection to large burritos. Therefore if we are blessed with a Chipotle in our proximity, you bet your snuggly socks that we'll be there.
Thanks for the recommendation! One of those Chipotle places just opened near us...we're going to have to try it now!
