Albany - 14 December, 2006 -

"Welcome to Moe's!" may soon be everyone's three favorite words in Albany when Moe's Southwest Grill opens its newest neighborhood restaurant in Village Square (Colonie) TODAY, December 14. A 2005 Inc. magazine top 25 company, Moe's Southwest Grill is a burrito-lover's paradise, serving fresh made-to-order burritos and southwest fare with attitude and flare. Owners Mike, Jeff and Greg Yamin are carrying the Moe's spirit straight into Albany, inviting local customers to visit their second location. The Yamin brothers opened the Moe's in Guilderland two years ago and plan to open a third location in the next year. "We feel Moe's brings a new option to the capital district dining scene," explains Jeff Yamin. "It's tex-mex with flare, and there really isn't anything like it in the area. It's fast, healthy and great tasting food in a fun environment?plus it's reasonably priced. It's a great option for singles who are on the go, or for families wanting to dine out." Moe's Southwest Grill means quality food with an irreverent ‘tude. Moe's food is fresh and made to order ? no freezers, microwaves or MSG ? while Moe's love of fun shows up in menu items such as the Joey Bag of Donuts burrito, the John Coctostan quesadilla or a Close Talker salad. And because Moe's knows what it means to be one of a kind, each mouth-watering menu item is made with the customer's choice of chicken, steak, ground beef, tofu or all-veggie to suit individual tastes. Quench that southwest thirst with a frosty Moe-rita or cold beer, and don't forget to bring the kids along for kid-sized tacos and burritos that come with tortilla chips, a drink, and cookie. Welcome to Moe's! Besides being one of the hippest places to eat, Moe's also understands the importance of being a good community neighbor.
