Awhile ago, I mentioned that Chipotle dropped a taco from their "crispy taco meal" going from a filling four tacos to an adequate three tacos. This meal typically goes for just over 5 bucks, add a drink and you're at about $6.50.In the interest of fairness, I just went to Moe's Southwest Grill at Newport on the Levee earlier this week to pick up the same thing (apparently there you have to call a veggie taco an "Ugly Naked Guy" because they want you to make awkward refs to long dead sitcoms...? Actually I have no idea why). You can't just get a meal, you have to order them a la carte. And I added a drink...because I was stuck at Newport and had to say the phrase "ugly naked guy" so why the hell not...
The cost? 11 dollars.
Whaaaaaat? This was mistake right? That's over 3 dollars a taco. They might've been a little larger than Chipotle tacos, but not 11 bucks worth. Probably just the tip of the iceberg as to why this Moe's is supposedly closing down...
So, there you go. Another cautionary tale from tacosareexpensive.blogspot.com...

Dude, you got taco raped.
Did you also order chips? Because the chips come free at Moe's... so maybe you paid for an extra order?
Or maybe one of the 'tards who works there rung you up wrong. That's the mostly likely reason it was $11.
I did get chips, but I agree, I think they were free.
The problem is while I was shocked on the inside, for some reason I decided I was going to play it cool. You know?
Like "11 dollars for tacos? Eh. I've paid that before..." Bad idea.
My roommate went to Moe's last night and asked the people working when they were closing (for Habaneros to take over), and they acted surprised that anyone knew, as if it was some big hush-hush corporate secret. Oh, Moe's at the Levee employees.. so naive.
"Welcome to Moe's"
You could go ahead and make something at Home... I know, crazy. I guess $11 it is.
