I've eaten there once. The food tasted good but caused my blood sugar to go haywire (I am not diabetic) while the roof leaked water on many customers ...

A burrito is like 4x the food of a costco slice.

That's okay by me, I am not hungry after a slice from Costco, so a meal with a drink for the price I mentioned. Hell, I can also have a frozen yogurt and a churro and be less than the burrito.

OK, just checking. I have nothing against Costco but the last time I had a slice I wasn't hungry for about 8 hours. That's just not right.

I mean than whats the point of posting if the only reason you think a burrito is overpriced is that YOU can't finish it.

It's just, completely not relevant

Cant finish it, what are you talking about? Its over priced for the quality of what you get. If I am going to spend $6 or even more on a burrito, I will happily do it at a better place.

Costco slices are massively overpriced for what you get. I could easy get 2 slices for the same cost as a costco slice in NYC that tastes better and have drink thrown in there as well.

Sounds like a good deal then, just like Chipotle isn't. Like I said above to each his own. Some people will say In N Out sucks, doesn't bother me one bit. These places like Chipotle and Cafe Rio, are just not what I consider good Mexican food.

No. It's too expensive for what it is and usually dirty and the customers are rude.

I usually hit this place up for cheap burritos/tacos (meat and salsa/veggies are fresh):

It's not life changing but its affordable and relatively cheap. 2 Taco combo (+ chips, salsa & med drink) is about $6. Tacos are good sized and they load them up like burritos. Their chips are great because they are thinner than most chains (makes them crispier). They're addictive.

the wifey and i eat there once a week. chipotle is around the corner and they look at you funny when you dont want "meat", they veggies always look horrible, and when you do get a veggie burrito its the size of a rolled up taco.

I like Chipotle and I don't really eat fast food. Never understood the South Park Chipotle-Away joke.

lol someone in this thread is comparing a costco slice of pizza to a chipotle burrito

chipotle tastes good, and isn't complete shit like most fast food places

they aren't trying to be authentic gourmet, it's a damn $6 burrito

The joke is that the food is so goddamn irresistible that you'll deal with bloody shit and ruined underwear and keep eating the food.

People just randomly get indigestion when they eat such a large amount of meat. Happens to me about 1 out of 5 times I eat a giant fajita burrito there.

No. Not bloody shit-stained underwear. Just "I have to take a shit NOW!"

People in this thread said the quality wasn't good. Chipotle actually makes a BIG DEAL about the quality of their meat. They even funded that "Food, Inc." film to get the word out. The animals are not pumped full of antibiotics and hormones.

Going out to eat is the biggest waste of time and money. I just don't understand the appeal. By the time you drive to said establishment, wait in line, wait for the food, wait for drinks, etc.. you've wasted significant amount of time and money and all for mediocre at best food.

Is that b/c you can make any type of cuisine at home? We're not all MasterChefs and have the time or expertise to make Indian, Thai, Sushi, Afghani, etc... Or the room to eat with a large group of friends.

And Chipotle's food is so bland.
