I didn't realize it was that bad til I read msn's fast food report yesterday. I thought frozen food had sodium, some Chipotle's food makes them look tame in comparison.

Check this out, and you will realise that chipotle food is not good in terms of nutrition..

Actually Chipotle is its own company now. It IPO'd in the last year. Also, I cannot really tell much difference between Qdoba or Chipotle here. Both are good.

Yeah, Nothing like a $7 burrito that weighs about a quarter pound :thumbsdown: - Chipolte food is good, but not a good cost to food ratio, just like most food places these days. Can't compare it to say...Taco Bell :D - Can get a LOT of food there for under 6 bucks, and it tastes pretty good usually, even though it's low quality junk.

My friend got one and weighed it. Wanna guess what it was?

Yes, 20 oz. You're off by a pound.

mmmm salty goodness!

If you're concerned about calories, get a burrito bol. Losing the tortilla drops 400 or 500 calories.

My family goes out to Chipotle every Friday after I'm off work. Carnitas burrito bol + Negro Modelo FTW.

I'm still confused where all the fat is coming from when I build something relatively "clean" with this calculator...

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

When you get to the end of the production line, before they wrap it up, ask them to mix up the ingredients. They have the forks right there and will mix it up for you so all the items are blended together nicely.

Nope. Not even a tortilla. I usually get a bowl with black beans, rice, chicken, hot and corn salsa, and that's it. It's still coming out at over 800 calories and 29g fat. :confused:

i was severely dissappointed when i went to Chipotle near our home.

there are so many other burrito places that are better. Qdobas has awesome quesadillas. Panchero's tortilla shells taste the best. Haven't tried Moe's yet.
