Updated February 2022! Despite the regional name, Moe’s Southwest Grill started in Atlanta, and I’ve never seen one in the Southwest. There also is no Moe. Moe’s is an acronym for “Musicians, Outlaws and Entertainers,” which is why they have music and art themes at their restaurants. Nevertheless, Moe’s is a favorite or build-your-own fresh Mex. And they have a big menu of options for dairy-free guests. In fact, much of their menu is dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, and gluten-friendly. We’ve even outlined the vegan options below.
Moe’s Southwest Grill Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen, Gluten & Vegan Notes
This menu guide is broken down by “build-your-own” components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.
Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: Moe’s does use soy oil for cooking, so most of their cooked items are noted as containing soy. At last check, none of the items listed as non-dairy contained peanuts or tree nuts. We’ve noted any items below that contain egg or gluten. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.
Tortillas & Bases
- Flour Tortillas (all sizes) (contains gluten)
- Whole Grain Tortillas (contains gluten)
- Corn Tortillas
- Crispy Corn Tortillas
- Tortilla Chips
- Salad Bowl (contains gluten)
- Chopped Romaine
Heads Up! Moe’s has stated that their corn tortilla products are made without gluten, but may be fried in a shared fryer with their salad bowl, which contains gluten. That’s why their online “gluten-friendly” menu sometimes labels those products as gluten-free, but sometimes doesn’t.
