Moe's Southwest Grill


I was talking to my bestfriend who lives in GA and she mentioned Moe's which was a huge favorite of mine pre gluten free while I lived in GA. I quickly looked it up and found they have locations here in NOVA but also found out that they don't have anything gluten free! Not even their corn chips and corn tortillas. What gives? They must be frying all of their food in the same oil...

Because I was still on the phone with my friend, I mentioned to her the bad news and she reminded me that post gluten free we went to Moe's and figured I could get chips and queso and be fine. I ended up getting sick that night and we assumed it was because someone got their gluten containing food on my plate. Turns out that it was because I ate a bunch of gluten!

Maybe I'll write a letter to Moe's and they can jump on the gluten free band wagon like Chipotle and Baha Fresh!

The same thing happened to me! Chips and queso! I did a little digging and found out that they make tortilla bowls by frying flour tortillas in the same oil, and that makes the chips unsafe. Also, they are kind of weird about saying there is vegetable broth with gluten in their salsa. Which just seems totally unnecessary, no?

yes! completely unnecessary! Hopefully if enough people voice their concern...they will become gluten free friendly!
