I’ve been going to Chipotle for a while now, and I’ve recently started going to Moe’s almost as often for a burrito fix. Initially, I didn’t see a big difference between the two. Same concept, same type of food, same, same, same, right? Now I’m seeing the differences…much like McDonalds and Burger King have the same TYPES of food, but are totally NOT the same. After dining at Chipotle 2 days ago for lunch, and Moe’s tonight for dinner, I’ve decided that I prefer Chipotle. I like the rice better, I like the meat better, and I like the salsa better. I’m not going to stop going to Moe’s (especially since there’s one right around the corner from hockey), but it’s now on par with Burger King in my eyes. Not as good as McDonalds, but not so bad that I won’t eat there ever again.
Which do you prefer?

We don’t have either joint in Quebec. And anyway, after eating two days in a row at McDonalds last week, then being hit with either a stomach flu or food poisoning, even the thought of fast food makes me queasy. I may have been cured of McD’s forever.
We don’t have Chipotle in Chattanooga, we have Qdoba and Moe’s. We also have a local mom and pop place called Mojo Burrito. I like them all, but prefer Qdoba. My sister has been to all four (Chipotle, Moe’s Qdoba, and Mojo Burrito) and prefers Chipotle.
I like Burger King too, but I think we tend to go to McD’s more because it is cheaper.
Chiplotle has a bigger burrito, and way better rice…….but, Moe’s is the only one anywhere near me. I alos dig Tijuana Flats..they are building one right up the road from our Moe’s! Another “hockey night” option! They don’t yell WELCOME TO MOES, so Matthew will like it!!
I’ve never been to Moe’s. I had never even heard of them until you just mentioned them. I went to their web site and there is only one here in town in an area that I rarely go to. We have both Chipotle and Qdoba (both chains started here in Denver, BTW). I like the burritos better at Chipotle, but there’s more variety of food at Qdoba (like quesadillas and nachos).
I’m like that with McDonals and Burger King, too–depends on what I want. Burger King has a better burger, but I like the fries and nuggets better at McD.
ya i like chipotle better, the quality of the meat is better =D
Hands down chipotle is much better. The rice is way better, everything is way fresher. you can see them preparing the meats right behind you, unlike moes. and at chipotle they are always making more meat, salsa, or something.. The chips, moes are plain tortilla chips while chipotle i believe they deep fry theirs and throw salt on them, and there is a distinct lime taste to them, the best tortilla chips i have ever had, and the guacamole is unbelievable, much much better than moes, chipotles guacamole is the best i have ever had. the burritos at chipotle are much bigger, we call them babies, because they are the size of a baby, and for the same price you can get a smaller yet less fresh burrito from moe’s. If you want a real burrito, go with a mexican grill, not a southwest grill. and the salsas. Moe’s has pico de gallo, which is okay. Chipotle has that plus, 3 other types which are all very very good. Overall the only bad thing about chipotle is that they do not franchise
