I think McDonalds only owns a part of them. Its a good idea for them since it seems to be a very money making buisness. I have gone there before and saw people lined up outside the door. Get this, a manager there said that one guy comes in three times a day and eats 3 at a time!! :Q

yep, around lunchtime here, the line goes out the door. Good thing that there menu is simple so people dont have much choice of what to get, just their choice of ingredients. I usually pick up a burrito there about once every 2-3 days on my way to work

Yup. Every Chipotle I have ever been too has had a line out the door (the 7 locations I have been too).

mmm Chipotle. I have been eating the same thing for the past four years and it never changes:D

Chipotle blows. Their burritos are too huge to enjoy. Even I as a biggins was overwhelmed, I had to disect it and eat it with a fork. 9 bucks down the hole.

Phaze, the key is to follow the directions on how to eat it. Simply keep it wraped and peel away as you eat and your good to go.

Baja Fresh is damn good also. I prefer Chipotle for the burritos and Baja Fresh for everything else, you can't loose!:D

All us Columbus people have to get together sometime. I'm gonna post a FS thread for pickup only to get rid of some stuff very cheap so maybe I'll get to meet some people anyways.

I like their local slogan here in Tucson.

I saw one "Anything rolled this fat should be illegal"

$5.50 for a Chicken Borrito there, takes 2 to get full $11, then you are hungry an hour later again with Chipolte. Just doesn't stick to your ribs like a good ol El' Burro ;)

I'd be up for a Columbus Chipotle meet. Problem is choosing which Chipotle:confused: I find the quality of the burrito to be very different at the different stores. For instance, Morse Rd./Avery. Rd's burritos are pooor for chipotle standards.

lol i'd say gahanna or easton

but they just hired a bunch of white people...and i know i'm racist, but whenever there's a white person working at chipotle it just slows the line down tremendously, they simply don't know what they're doing.

yah, chipotle's are great, at first they were so filling I could bearly finish one...now it goes down and it's just a nice satisfying filling, but it's not like you're stuffed...it's perfect : P

but have some self control! they're prolly around 1000 calories.

I was introduced to Chipotle's about two years ago by my cousins :)... great mexican food

in regards to a get together... yes that is a great idea.... i was born in Columbus, but moved to Vermont when i was 2. I am the only true Buckeye out of my family though. I usualy make the 14 hour drive at least 5 times a year. We even drove out there for the OSU celebration... spending over 32 hours in the car just for those two days. I love Columbus and will probaly end up back out there in 2 years :) All Columbus people should keep in touch.

I've been to the ones on Sawmill and Grandview, just about the same.

I second Chipotles or Easton! maybe gameworks? That McDonalds in easton is crazy too.. the McFlurry section of it is double my regular mcdonalds! I was just at easton a couple of months ago and it was great... that place in insane compared to anything we have in Vermont.
