The burritos at Chipotle are too small. Gordito's burritos are about the right size. Nothing like a $7 burrito that will last you three meals.

Those still get beat out by my house's cook though. I've lived here for three years and I've only seen one person finish one. For some reason our cook doesn't understand regular portions. It is fun, however, to see a freshman ask for two pancakes and seeing the shock on his face when he realizes how bloody huge they are.

Moe's and Qdoba own Chipotle. Chipotle's chicken and steak is flavorless compared to Moe's as far as I am concerned.

[edit]Oh, and far better burritos can be had for a few dollars at a taco stand. I'd much prefer a few chorizo or carne asada soft tacos than the monolithic burrito you get at Chipotle.[/edit]

You should come down to Portland and visit the "Honkin' Huge" burrito stand at Pioneer Courthouse Square. They are unreal...

i have a chipotle down the street from my house and tumbleweed's roll through there. place is dead. of course adalberto's, filiberto's, armando's, and albert's taco's all being in the nearby vicinity probably doesnt help its cause. im sorry but a $8 burrito just doesnt fly over well in southern california.

Moe's is plain nasty. Chipotle pork burrito is pretty good. But my favorite is Willy's.

If you ate a Chipolte burrito, like the one listed above for every meal, you may wind up dead due to the huge amounts of sodium in each burrito (based on what can be seen on Wikipedia, you shouldn't have more than 2400mg of sodium in a day).

take a bite from one side, all barbacoa meat
take a bite fro the other side, all beans/rice/guac.

you must be from the midwest where white people make it...

They make it like that in Southern California too. Next time I go, I'll ask if they'll mix it first.

I might go to Chipotle today since everyone seems to like it. I haven't liked it when i've gone in the past, food was alright, but expensive, and not very filling. Someone recommend me something on the menu to get. I don't like veggies or any kind of weird sauces :p. I do like most kinds of meat (steak, ground beef, chicken, etc.). My main goal is to get something i like for not a whole lot of money, that will leave me feeling full. Well, I guess that's everyone's goal when they go to eat :p
