Moe's Southwest Grill Menu Prices 2026: Burritos, Bowls & Free Chips

The Homewrecker burrito at Moe's is $11.99 at most U.S. locations as of May 2026, with the Homewrecker Bowl priced the same at $11.99. The Homewrecker Jr. — a smaller version with the same fillings — is $9.49. The Homewrecker is Moe's signature burrito and flagship menu item: a large flour tortilla loaded with your choice of protein (Chicken, Steak, Pulled Pork, Tofu, Ground Beef or Adobo Chicken), rice, beans, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream, cucumbers and Southwest Salsa. Every Homewrecker order includes free chips and salsa on the side. Pricing varies by market — California, Northeast and Hawaii stores typically run $13–$14 for the same Homewrecker; Southern and Midwest markets often sit at $10.99–$11.99.

Yes. Free chips and salsa is included with every entrée at Moe's — burritos, bowls, quesadillas, tacos, salads and nachos all come with a basket of fresh-fried tortilla chips and a side of Southwest Salsa at no extra charge. It's Moe's single most-recognized differentiator vs. Chipotle, which charges roughly $2.45 for chips and $1.85 for salsa as separate add-ons (about $4.30 in savings per order). Queso is the one upcharge Moe's still carries — a side runs $2.95 and Chips & Queso $4.99 — but unsalted chips and salsa themselves are always free with any entrée order. Standalone (without an entrée) chips & salsa is $3.99.

On the base entrée they're nearly identical: a Moe's Homewrecker Bowl with chicken is $11.99 vs. a Chipotle Chicken Bowl at $10.45. Where Moe's wins is the total ticket with sides. A typical Chipotle order (Chicken Bowl + Chips & Guac + drink) lands around $18.50; the same order at Moe's (Homewrecker Bowl + free chips & salsa + drink) lands around $15.75. Adding queso (+$2.95) and guac (+$1.95) at Moe's still totals roughly $20 vs. Chipotle's $20.50 with the same upcharges. So Moe's is meaningfully cheaper for the basic build (free chips + salsa included) and roughly equal once you add queso and guac. Chipotle still wins on sourcing claims; Moe's wins on free chips and on Tex-Mex-specific items like ground beef and the Funk Meister quesadilla.

Both Moe's and Qdoba beat Chipotle on included toppings, but they each include different things. Moe's includes free chips & salsa with every entrée (Qdoba also includes chips & salsa free with entrée). The differences: Qdoba includes free 3-Cheese Queso and free guacamole on every entrée; Moe's includes free chips & salsa but charges $2.95 for queso and $1.95 for guacamole. If you load up on queso and guac, Qdoba is cheaper by roughly $4–$5 per ticket. If you mostly want a burrito + chips + salsa, Moe's and Qdoba land within $0.50 of each other. Qdoba's queso is a 3-cheese blend; Moe's queso is a cheddar-Monterey-jack blend with green chiles.

Moe's Southwest Grill operates approximately 500 U.S. restaurants as of 2026 — down from a peak of roughly 700 in 2017 as the chain consolidated underperforming franchise stores. The brand's strongest concentration is in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina) given its Atlanta, Georgia origin; secondary clusters exist in Texas, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. Moe's is owned by Focus Brands, which also owns Auntie Anne's, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister's Deli, Carvel and Schlotzsky's. The chain trails Chipotle (~3,500 locations) and Qdoba (~750) on footprint.

Moe Monday is Moe's weekly Monday-only burrito deal: a chicken Joey Bag of Donuts burrito (rice, beans, cheese, pico) plus a side of chips & salsa for $5.99. The deal has run continuously since 2007 and is Moe's most-recognized promo — roughly $4–$5 below the standard chicken burrito price. It's the cheapest way to eat a full entrée at Moe's. Some markets cap the deal at one per customer; participation can vary by franchise. Moe Monday is dine-in, takeout AND app order — but you typically have to ask for it explicitly or select it in the app. Sister promo: Queso Tuesday adds free queso to any entrée on Tuesdays, neutralizing Moe's lone vs.-Qdoba gap one day per week.

A Joey Bag of Donuts is Moe's regular-sized burrito — the standard-build option that sits one tier below the larger Homewrecker. It contains choice of protein, rice, beans, shredded cheese, pico de gallo and sour cream wrapped in a flour tortilla. Standard price is $10.49 with chicken, $11.99 with steak, $11.49 with pulled pork. It comes with free chips & salsa like every Moe's entrée. The name is a pop-culture reference to a Joe Pesci character mention in the 1996 film 'Sleepers' (where 'Joey Bag of Donuts' is used as a wiseguy nickname). It's also the burrito featured in the $5.99 Moe Monday deal.

Moe's Southwest Grill was founded in 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia by Raving Brands, a multi-concept restaurant group led by Martin Sprock. The chain grew rapidly through aggressive franchising and pop-culture-driven branding (the named menu items, the 'Welcome to Moe's!' greeting). In 2007, Moe's was sold to Focus Brands, the Atlanta-based franchise platform behind Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Jamba, McAlister's Deli, Carvel and Schlotzsky's. Focus Brands is itself owned by Roark Capital, the private equity firm that also controls Inspire Brands (Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Dunkin', Baskin-Robbins and Jimmy John's). Moe's has remained Atlanta-headquartered since its founding.

Yes. Moe's carries a dedicated tofu protein for vegan and vegetarian builds — usable in any entrée style (burrito, bowl, salad, taco). The signature vegetarian build is the Art Vandelay burrito or bowl ($10.49), named after George Costanza's 'Seinfeld' pseudonym. To eat vegan at Moe's, order any entrée with tofu (or beans-only), skip the shredded cheese, queso and sour cream, and load up on free pico de gallo, Southwest Salsa, fajita vegetables, cucumbers and guacamole (paid add). The free chips & salsa is vegan by default. Moe's does not carry an Impossible or Beyond-style plant-based protein like Qdoba (Impossible) or Burger King — tofu is the primary plant protein.

Every Moe's employee shouts "Welcome to Moe's!" in unison whenever a customer walks in the door — a tradition that's been part of the brand since its 2000 founding. It's one of the most-recognized service rituals in fast casual, alongside Chick-fil-A's 'My pleasure' and the In-N-Out 'How's it going?' line. The greeting is mandatory at most franchise locations and is part of Moe's onboarding training, though enforcement varies by store and time of day. It's referenced regularly in pop culture and is a major part of the brand's identity. Combined with the pop-culture-named menu items (Homewrecker, Joey Bag of Donuts, Triple Lindy, Funk Meister, Art Vandelay), the greeting is the reason 'Welcome to Moe's' is one of the brand's highest-volume search terms.
