South Florida’s Tastiest Burrito – Give Me Moe’s

You might find me eating a burrito at Lime Fresh on Alton Rd (just south of Lincoln) in Miami Beach. But it’s not for the food, instead for the, atmosphere  – to eat among the model types that walk in from the infamous Flamingo and Floridian condos that are the local meccas of hedonistic materialism. If I really want a tasty and hearty burrito, I get the Home Wrecker from Moe’s Southwest Grill. There’s a reason Lime Fresh has about fifty various hot sauces in addition to the salsa bar for toppings for their entrees – to add taste to what would otherwise be a bland burrito. Well, there’s definitely no lack of taste in the Home Wrecker which I like with steak, rice, black beans, salsa, guac and some extra sour cream (shhh!!!). I think the key is in the thick salsa, which is almost just sliced fresh tomatoes with a hint of mysterious flavor. They make the, sometimes bulging out of the tortilla shell, delight in front of you with your choice of parts – lettuce, guac, cukes, rice, choice of beans etc. And there’s no difference in price whether you go for the chicken or steak (unlike the previously mentioned chain). The toppings bar is minimal with about four choices of sauces for adding to your food or dipping the chips in. The medium hot sauce, which me makes cringe at the thought of trying the "hot", adds the perfect zing to my meal.
And ladies, the Moe’s I go to off of 17th Street in Lauderdale seems to always be filled with firefighters and cops from various agencies. I guess they know a good burritto too. Don’t say I’m not an equal opportunity writer. I’ve enjoyed some other noteworthy burritos at Zona Fresca and Baja Fresh.
