(My friend was comming back to school from Texas, and picked it up in the airport, cause I wanted to try it) What it lacks in variety, it more than makes up in quality.

you've eaten crap from a small deer's ass before?

One Philly area beloved patriot's preferences:

Uno > Dos > Tres > Chain, chain, chains / Chain of fools :music:

Numero uno has guaranteed hot art school chicks inside, plus, the first three are all BYOB, a MUST for large scale consumption of Mexican food! :laugh:

Since you're in Atlanta, you need to try Willy's. Much better than Moe's and Chipotle.

My roommates dared me to eat 3 burritos during the superbowl.

I got about 2.98 down and just couldn't FORCE myself to finish a piece of the tortilla and some rice.

The next day I realized the whole thing was a big mistake.

I rotate between Chipotle and Crispers (a soup/sandwich shop in Florida) for lunch, so I end up eating Chipotle 2-3 times a week. I like that they use good ingredients (naturally raised, no-hormone meat) and their food doesn't give me the after-lunch z's (as long as I get a bowl or salad with low rice).

Crispers is definitely good. I like their flatbread pizzas. (used to live in Tampa)

I've had their Caribbean chicken and Asiago beef flatbreads. Both are excellent.

We have a Qdoba up the street from me in Federal Way.

A little farther up the street is a Chipotle.

Personally, I had been eating Baja Fresh for years before my neighborhood in California got a Qdoba. After trying them, I liked them better than Baja Fresh. It may have just been a case of the grass being greener on the other side, though.

Still haven't tried a Chipotle burrito, though.
