Is Chipotle really all that?

[michaels]

I have never been there or seen one, but I have never seen a restaurant with so many sack riders/cheerleaders in my life. I have seen countless people on different message boards talking about this place. Is it really that damn good or is another trendy place like Starbuck's etc?

Chipotle is tasty.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Its yummy

It's decent and has the advantage of being two blocks from my home.

As chain burrito joints go, yes, it's fantastic.

I place it at the bottom of the chain burrito joints. Moes is at the top because of the number and variety of toppings you get. Then Qdoba, then Chipolte. IIRC at chipolte you can choose your type of beans and get salsa on top and thats about it.

Although they do leave lots of tabasco bottles laying around and I know college students who see this as "free bottle of tabasco with burrito", which is actually a decent value.

It's the Krispy Kreme of burrito joints.

It's good for the first year you have it. Then you get sick of it and only eat it once every couple of months.

If I can't get refried beans in my burrito, its crap. WTF kinda place only serves pinto or black!?

I've never been to a Qdoba, but Chipotle is better than Moe's IMO.

that's how I have always eaten at Chipotle's

 

[monk3y]

I like it better than Moe's but not as much as Qdoba.

 

[j00fek]

i like it

 

[FoBoT]

it is good, like anything, don't over do it

 

[ElFenix]

the very first time i went there i ordered a burrito and they wouldn't let me have beans. so i didn't go there again for years.

I've eaten at Chipotle regularly for the last 2 years. What they lack in variety, they more than make up for in taste. Beats the living sh!t out of California Tortilla or Santa Fe Mexican grill, and it's pretty healthy to boot. Plus 1 Burrito will keep me going for 4 hours at least. All for ~$6

Pretty sweet IMO.

Moe's>*

I enjoy the selection better at Moe's, then Chipotle...and the salsa's are better at Moe's as well

...and they're always so happy to greet you..."WELCOME TO MOE'S!!!!"

its alright. id much rather save money and get a more authentic burrito from a local taco shop. plus charging extra for the amount of guacomole you get is ridiculous.

 

[Hammerhead]

MOE's > Chipotle

 

[BCYL]

It is really that damn good... easily the best fast-food tacos i have ever had...

Grilled Chicken + Beans + Rice + Cooked Peppers and Onions + Tomato-based Salsa

A little high on the calories, but other than that what's not to like?

Tasty good, it is. I often can't finish a burrito, too-- it's a lot of food for $6.

It's tolerable for a beloved patriot-oriented place, but you're much better off going to an actual Mexican place.
