Moe's Southwest Grill Is Opening in Waltham

A chain of restaurants that features Tex-Mex food and southwestern fare continues its expansion into Massachusetts, with its upcoming location being the closest one yet to Boston.

According to their Twitter and Facebook pages, Moe's Southwest Grill is going to be opening on Main Street in Waltham later this month, moving into the space where Tony D's had been before moving to a nearby space on Main Street. Once the eatery opens (either February 23 or February 27, based on their Facebook and Twitter pages), Moe's in Waltham will join other locations in Natick, Chelmsford, Shrewsbury, Hanover, Worcester, and Plymouth, as well as several hundred other outlets of the Atlanta-based chain across the country.

The menu at Moe's Southwest Grill features rice bowls, nachos, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, and tacos, with many individual dishes taking names from TV shows and movies. A few items on the menu include the Closetalker (from Seinfeld), which is a salad; the Billy Barou (from Caddyshack), a nacho plate that can be ordered with an array of meats and other items; the Alfredo Garcia fajitas (from the Sam Peckinpah movie Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia); and the Art Vandalay (from Seinfeld), which is a veggie burrito.

[February 26 update: According to a poster on Chowhound (and confirmed by the restaurant's Facebook page), Moe's Southwest Grill is now open in Waltham.]

The address for this new restaurant in Waltham is: Moe's Southwest Grill, 831 Main Street, Waltham, MA, 02451. The chain's website can be found at http://www.moes.com/
