It's actually a common way to explain it here. There are tons of other restaurants and bars where people throw on an S.

You guys focus on asinine things.

A common way to explain what? Wherever you live is where I don't want to be.

This is the iphone generation. Everything has to be precise. Pisses me off, actually.

I was lying in the hospital with my guts torn up a few days ago and I hear something from the young nurses about an alarm problem. The next day I hear it again about apple's screw up on the news. Today, damnit, for the third damn day in damn row I have to hear about from the DJ about the damn iphone crap. :rolleyes:

Its chipotles!

In case you hadn't noticed, there are some of those people EVERYWHERE and it doesn't make it OK.

Even if it were regional, I remember going to a school a few states away from where I grew up and all the English teachers started drilling into the kids that "idea" was not the same as "ideal." I thought, "Who the eff would ever say 'ideal' when they meant 'idea'?" Sure enough, it was common there. Idiots.

Now, I know a family member who says that she is "going to Wal-mart's." She's an idiot. Sam Walton could have called it "Wal's-mart" if he wanted, but "Wal-mart's" is wrong no matter how you look at it and many people, myself included, view the use of it as a yardstick for gauging a person's general level of stupidity/intelligence.

...If you can order online and not even have to wait in line, that is the definition of fast food...
I don't know many fast food places that let me order online.

When's the last time anyone ordered a Big Mac online?

Ignorant snob much?

The quality of the ingredients in Chipotle food is second-to-none...and they make sure EVERYONE knows it. The whole "food with conscience" thing is some kind of founding principle at Chipotle.

I feel for people who live in a state where good Mexican food's hard to find. I know my mom said when she lived in St Louis 35 years ago it was almost impossible to find tortillas in a store. And people put ketchup on their Mexican food WTF LOL.

A normal Chipotle burrito has about 1200+ calories depending on what you put in it. It also costs anywhere from $6-12. Id rather go to my local Taqueria for some real mexican food and get a burrito for $3. I can also ask them for no rice and they give me more meat to supplement for no extra cost.

I do live in a heavily Mexican populated area though

what kind of burrito at Chipotle costs $12?

also, this is why you go burrito bowl. the tortilla is like 60% of the calories.

and stop eating sour cream, you fattie.

I havent ate at Chipotle since they did a promo at my high school years ago for a free meal with ID but I did no rice, double meat and guacamole and it came out to $12.

Its 60% of the calories cause the tortilla they use is huge.

Personally I wish more places would offer whole wheat tortillas like Rubios does.

Not a big fan of Tacos Mexico.

Have you been to Taqueria Tapatia on Bristol and First? That and Taqueria de Anda is good but de Anda is not the cleanest lol.

Panchos Granada in Orange is my favorite beloved patriot mexican food of all time.....ALL TIME!

Should I get Qdoba or Chipotle for dinner tonight? Sorry, the only hole in the wall mexican places around here charge 15 dollars for their burrito's that are stuffed with shredded meat that is cheaper than what I can get at the chains.
