AMEN! Ron, you just very eloquently expressed the opinion of the majority!

Yes, in fact it's a supermajority (everyone - 1) vs. 1 troll. And apparently a teenage troll who hasn't been around much.

Yeap, I'm being rude here. But as another poster indicated, sometimes that is the appropriate response.

I actually prefer Moe's to Q-doba, with the exception of the whole staff screaming "Welcome to Moe's" when you walk in the door.

They actually grilled up a steak to order for my husband's meal a week or so ago.

That, and I love all the options they have on the bar for your food. I tend to load mine down with veggies and cilantro, and I like the still-warm tortilla chips and salsa bar.

I like BallyHoo's better than Qdoba or Moe's.

And yet it was always packed for lunch when I was there. I had several friends who were quite the Qdoba's devotees, and switched almost completely to Baja Fresh. After it closed, of course, they went back to Qdoba. I still like Qdoba, but it doesn't quite scratch the same itch that Baja Fresh did.

Different strokes is all.

NOOOOOOO .. even Shakespeare had a little comic relief. And his was sometimes neither germane or sensible. Fits Robert
