I've never been real crazy about Moe's, either, but do check out Ballyhoo. It dominates the genre, in my opinion. <b>Salsarita</b> out by the Kroger's in St. Matthews is excellent, too. And <b>La Bamba</b> Burritos Bigger Than Your Head isn't bad either, but I like their tortas better than the burritos.)

Being a vegetarian who hates beans limits my options at these places. Thus why Moe's wins out with their tofu option.

I need to check out Ballyhoo's menu.

Ah, got it. That would make a difference. I doubt you'll find much at Ballyhood that's not either animal flesh OR the musical fruit.

But Zen Garden does wonderful things with tofu.

Yeah my girlfriend and I go to Zen Garden frequently.

Actually there are a ton of places we visit monthly...

Fat Tony's, Come Back Inn, Mai's Thai, Zen Garden, Ramsi's, Rich-O's, Moe's...

We definitely arent going to starve :)

I liked it so I'll give it a good. Just had a small chicken burrito that came to just under $5. The food was good and fresh and I liked the chipotle sour cream as an option, the salsa bar was a nice option and the nice open front glass store front made for a nice atmosphere on a beautiful day.

Oh, and no problem with parking :roll:

I'm not sure, but it's in the back of my mind that either Lisa, or Susan Reigler, or maybe both have mentioned Bardstown Road parking as a problem in the past. I think possibly Susan mentioned it as a negative about Bardstown eateries sometimes when they used to have that little "Good > Not So Good" box alongside the story.

I think a lot of folks just have a perception that the traffic in the highlands is bad. I used to have that perception also when I lived out of town and would come to visit my parents and go down into the Highlands from Fern Creek on a Friday night and the traffic is lined up all through the Highlands.

Really, Friday and Saturday evenings are the only times it gets somewhat congested.

I just learned to be patient and the traffic always moves with a good flow.

Bardstown road gets pretty gross but knowing the backstreets and the hidden parking gems, can get you in and out of there with no problems at all.

I appreciate that you qualified this later that you are a vegetarian. I am sure that Qdoba is not vegetarian friendly, and that would make a big difference to you, but on the carnivorous side, I think they're fairly comparable.

I am very happy that we have fast-food chains like Moe's, Qdoba, Panera, et al. This is a fairly recent and good development, especially on the road with families.
