I guess this train-stationesque building just was not meant to house a fast casual Mexican chain. If you will recall, this was the location of Qdoba<\/a> until May of 2015, meaning that Salsarita's<\/i> lasted about three years. The State's<\/i> report is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite some stumbles locally in recent years, I have always been a Moe's<\/i> partisan in the burritto wars. I hate the ambience at Chipolte<\/i>, Qdoba<\/i> burrittos always fell apart on me, and Barbaritos<\/i>, at least locally, is Moe's<\/i> lite, without the availability of ground beef. I had not really had an opinion on Salsarita's<\/i>, not having been to one until recently. Finally having done that (though not at this location), I was a little weirded out when the staff took over my tray and brought it out to a table which was not the one I had been planning on. I honestly can't recall much about the food itself.<\/p>\n
