I am a fan of Chipotle, but their food portions are, well, ginormous. I can’t eat but half a burrito or a taco and a half. So, alas, it is a waste of food for li’l ol’ me.
Enter Moe’s! Besides all the funny names (uh, can I get a <whisper> moo moo, mr. cow? </whisper>), they have a kids menu! So I can get ONE taco with a side of chips or a mini-burrito with a side of chips. (Ok, I just checked the nutritional value on the burrito – it rings in at 400 calories, so it’s not that little.)
My dinner – with chips, cookie and a drink – (don’t tell my dentist, but that cherry coke looked too good to pass up) still came to … yikes, 1000 calories, so it’s not a puny kids meal. Contrast that with a Chipotle burrito that rings in at 1000 calories all by itself.
The one downside is the tiny little child-safe cup that comes with the meal. It is a little embarrassing, but that’s just the price I have to pay in order to not throw away half my dinner.
If you’ll excuse me, I have to go finish my cookie.
