Queso is Life at Moe’s and for the eighth year in a row, Moe’s Southwest Grill^® is bringing cheese-induced happiness to fans around the country with the most anticipated day of the year – Free Queso Day. On Sept. 21, all guests will enjoy a complimentary 6-ounce cup of queso and fresh, warm chips at participating locations, no purchase necessary.

This year, Moe’s isn’t just giving away free queso to every guest, the brand has upped the ante by launching a 24-hour Queso Hotline to support and comfort all queso obsessed fans that put everything before queso because… queso is life. Plus, on Sept. 1, Moe’s launched a Free Queso for Life sweepstakes awarding one lucky fan a lifetime supply of liquid gold (the stakes are high this year!)

“As we move into our 17th year of serving our famous queso, which is now available in over 700 restaurants, we know just how much our fans light up at the mere mention of the liquid gold,” said Bruce Schroder, President of Moe’s. “It is time once again to celebrate Free Queso Day together, our annual chance to say thanks to our loyal fans and invite queso newbies along to see why Moe’s is known for it.”

In an effort to support fans nationwide in their passion to indulge in flawless liquid gold – Moe’s will launch a 24-hour Queso Hotline at 12:01 AM on Free Queso Day, Sept. 21 for fans to divulge their queso confessions; plus, we’ve got even more queso surprises for our fans on the line.
