Decent place to get catering for a meeting. Their steak and chicken is probably the best, but they don't give you enough tortillas. Their cookies are decent too.
Moe's burrito's you can not go wrong here and for Penn station the prices are very fair! You get burrito and chips with salsa for under $10 I am in. They are very quick and the staff is pretty friendly. I usually get the Homewrecker burrito with the guac and chipotle sauce.
Homewrecker meal is one of the budget meal I've had in the city. There's Halal Guys, Prosperity Dumplings, and there's this! I always get the homewrecker (burrito) no matter what. Best deal in da house.
As a broke college student, I live off places like these to feed me. It used to cost $5.99 for the homewrecker combo (those were the good ol' days T_T), now it's $7.61. Which is a huge WTF? but still cheaper than Chipotle! So not only is it cheaper than chipotle, rice is more authentic mexican, guacamole and jalapeños are complimentary, free chips with a nice selection of salsa, and regular size drink! Chipotle should just stick their head in a dirt.
It makes me so happy that places like these can feed you!!
If you like Chipotle, you'll like this place. Free tortilla chips and four kinds of salsa on the house. Check the salad bar inside.
Yeah I guess Moe's is one of the better food places in Penn Station, but the food is so messy that if you think you'll be able to eat this while on a train, forget it. I got a taco this time and it spilled onto my lap, on my hands, and a liquid was dripping from it. So embarrassing! The quality of the guacamole, sour cream, meat, and lettuce was awful too so that wasn't a redeeming factor.
Located in Penn Station, its a good place to get your quick fix for a burrito or quesadilla. As most for Moe's the goes line goes fast. Being that its in Penn Station i think the staff is even in more of a rush to get things made, which is great.
Condiments such as the salsa taste weird so i'd recommend to pass on that.
Lots of seating in the back which is good but come during lunch hour it can be difficult to find a seat.
I remember watching Home Alone as a kid, and watching the entire family plus 9 children running through (what looked like) Penn Station. I have since recreated this run on a weekly basis substituting my luggage or absurd work-related carry on items in place of the children. Somehow, no matter how early I leave for my Amtrak train it is never early enough. I have literally jumped onto a moving train as it was pulling away from the platform.
Moe's is located just a few steps away from the gate, and they make you up a hot-and-ready burrito in just a matter of minutes. This is especially great for convincing me that I've got time when I really, really don't.
The burritos are great, though. A cheap lunch in NYC is hard to find, and this is easily grabbed on the go and brought on the train with you. It's like a Subway for burritos. You pick the ingredients that you want and skip the ones that you don't. The Homewrecker even has a tofu option! Salsa and chips are included, so how can you go wrong for a filling lunch under $10? Just grab napkins because even if you don't think you need 'em — you really, really do.
After a long night of partying, I was very fungry the morning after. Still being new to the city and craving a huge burrito, I decided to check out Moe's. I've heard mixed opinions about them, and have seen their locations throughout the country.
I happened across one when I was transferring subway trains. They had a meal deal, where you get the Homewrecker, chips/salsa and a drink for eight bucks or so. Cheaper on certain days too. Seemed like a good deal.
I got the chicken Homewrecker with salsa, guacamole and black beans. It was indeed a very hefty burrito, and the bottom of my bag was lined with the chips and salsa. The taste, however, left lots to be desired. Everything was very plain about the burrito, including the guacamole (which was ice-cold). It was filling, definitely, but it was just like eating a bag of flour. No flavor really stood out at all in the burrito, and I was pretty dissapointed.
The chips were generic, and the salsa was just as bland as the burrito. I really don't know who decided to make the food super bland, but they should take a culinary class or two. Blech.
Filling? Yes, and a good hangover remedy. But if you are looking for good Mexican food, I would look elsewhere.
