    Similar to others in town, but a step above. Many ingredients, and freshly prepared. Food is served at a higher temperature than Panchero's. The menu can be a little bit confusing, since they don't show all of the items like the Julia Gulia and the Art Vandalay. On Moe Mondays any burrito including pop and chips is only $5.99, a very good deal. The salsa bar has 5 choices ranging from mile to extremely hot. They have the new-fangled soda machines, which can be slow if a child in front of you can't make up their mind. The only reason there might be a long line is customers unfamiliar with the ordering sequence and menu selections. Enough seating for everybody, and good parking lot.

    Waste of 20 bucks. I door dashed Moe's for the first time and totally regretted it. The guac is so salty I can't even eat it and my hard taco shell is stale. Taco was also missing ingredients. I know that we are all human and make mistakes but it's like they aren't even trying at this point .

    Pretty awesome food, wish they could get more staff because that's all the workers talk about during the visit.

    Similar to Chipotle and Pancheros, but with more choices for ingredients. And I love the salsa bar!

    Better than Chipotle, not as good as Pancheros. Good queso and the salsa bar is fun to try out flavors. Once was enough for me.

    We came in about an hour before they closed, which for many other restaurants we have been to…read morethat's when the service goes downhill and the food too. But that was not the case here! Our server was Simon and from the second that he greeted our table to when we left the doors he just made the whole experience amazing! It was our first time at chilis of many to come! The food was so great (which I had my doubts since it was so late) and of course Simon was AMAZING! PLEASE give him a raise! He deserves it. 10/10 would recommend!

    If I could give 0 stars I most definitely would. Never in my life have I experienced anything like…read morethis with an establishment before. I just recently attempted to order one of my longtime favorite meal from Chili's. I was met with staff that im now deeming incapable. Granted this meal was removed from the menu about a year and a half- 2 years ago, so every-time I order it I have to give instructions as to how I want it made (only 4 ingredients). Now I could completely understand if you just simply didn't have the food, but to tell me it's not possible because "its a friday night" & "we have new kitchen staff" and then blaming it on a language barrier??? Correct me if I'm wrong, but are they not hired to oversee/run the kitchen? Not to mention, it's just a different variation of what already on the nachos on the menu... they're literally just substitutions with LESS ingredients. Highly disappointed, he didn't even ask what I'd like on there to see if it was possible! On top of that, the first employee said they don't even do that anymore & when I said I'd just ordered it recently she completely switched it & transferred me to someone else. I don't speculate but it just felt like they didn't care to make the order which is very disheartening considering I've ordered this same meal in 6 different states & multiple cities... James, this left a really bad impression & im extremely dissatisfied with the To-go service at this location.

    It's been a few years since I've reviewed Carlos O'Kelly's…read more It is pretty hit or miss but when it is on, IT IS ON. I've been attending the Iowa City location for decades. This has been my family's go-to for birthdays and Saturdays out since I was a small child. Things I like about Carlos: - Margs. They really do hit the spot. Perfect punch and taste. - Daily specials and for holidays. Ask your waiter or check social media. - Salsa. The chips and salsa are both endless and delish. - I'm a big fan of their enchiladas-- with pulled chicken and cheese sauce. - Kids eat free sometimes. - Parking is a non issue. - There's seating for large groups! - Margs, Chips and Salsa to-go option? Yes, please! Things I don't particularly like about Carlos: - Pricing is high for quality and quantity. - Quality of food can be so hit or miss. (Overcooked, more often than not.) - Waitstaff/wait time can be hit or miss. (It's a college town, I get it.) - Tex/Mex is one thing, but having mashed potatoes on the menu... - It is SO loud in this newer rebuild of Carlos. Overall, I will forever come back to Carlos for margs, chips and salsa!

    If you are really hungry, this isn't the place to go. Portion sizes are very small and our meals…read moredidn't come with any sides. The margaritas were really weak too. The place looks nice and the waitress was good, but the food was just kind of disappointing. The chips and salsa were probably the highlight. Hope they can improve soon.
