You don’t go to Moe’s on Cinco de Mayo

May 3rd, 2008

Nothing against Moe’s, they took a great idea of the west coast burrito and made as generic and plain as possible, but with funny names for items and some decent tomatillo salsa, they warrant a visit every so often. No Juanita Greenberg’s by any extent at all though.

But back to my point, you don’t go to Moe’s on Cinco de Mayo. Moe’s comes from Atlanta USA, not Mexico. Moe’s doesn’t not really offer true mexican food, but a very american, aka generic, take one ingredients originating south of Texas. If you feel obligated to eat ‘Mehican’ on the 5th of May at least visit a restaurant owned and operated by folks that are of mexican heritage. If you are in Greenville SC, visit Rosalinda’s or at least Corona’s.

Witty me to hippy coworker at LaPaz in Asheville: ‘Muchas Garcias.’

Hippy coworker: ‘Your Jerry welcome’.
