The ultimate burrito stand for me would also include a choice of mole sauces.

Anything like that exist?

Yes. District Taco. It's a taco truck that is mostly in Arlington. They have different stuff every day, but various mole are in the rotation I think.

Tomorrow is Tuesday, so they will be in Crystal City at the corner of 23rd and Crystal Dr.

IIRC you're in the DC area, which is why I've provided detail 🙂 They also have a twitter feed, to know their location daily.

EDIT: Oh shit. They have a restaurant on Lee Hwy just past Lee-Harrison. Going to be a tough choice between them and Taqueria Poblano now. I would also suggest Taqueria Poblano while I'm at it, they have one in Old Town or in Lee Harrison next to the Harris Teeter. Not sure on their mole situation, but decent food.

I love the taste of their rice. I am also one of those people who asks for extra rice and no beans. Try adding lemon to it next time.
 
Umm... they are like Subway. They only put what you want in it. If they put rice in it and you didn't want them to, you failed to communicate what you wanted. And fajita burritos usually have rice no matter where you go. They are awesome.

Why do idiots insist on making a possessive out of every retail place name? Also, why do they then usually fail and leave out the apostrophe? It's "Chipotle Mexican Grill" and you can shorten that to "Chipotle" if you want with no need for a tacked-on letter s. I bet you call Walmart "Walmarts" too. 😀

Oh, and FWIW, bean is a filler too (see the chili + beans thread). You can get rice filler or bean filler and Chipotle is no different. Take your pick and stop complaining.

why does everyone hate on chipotle? It has quality ingredients and it tastes great.

What specifically don't you like about it?

This forum is famous for having a bunch of tards who think that if you don't eat something that the indigenous Mexicans/beer drinkers/pizza makers/chili cookers/ ate thousands of years ago, everything else is crap and deserves a pages long argument over nothing, considering people can eat whatever they want and it's nobody else's business.

They hate on anything that has a commercial.

This suggests they use Basmatti, but I've done it with using Jasmine rice, simply subbing out some of the water for lime juice. Comes out pretty good, especially with the distinct flavor of the cilantro.

Maybe generally true, but I've seen a number of reasonable responses here. Some people just don't like the taste of Chipotle. That's fine by me. And while it seems like the OP is irrationally hating on Chipotle, he is (as others have pointed out) the living embodiment of stupid. So don't take him seriously 😉


While we're at it, my favorite thing to do is order 2 burrito bowls, one veggie and one meat. Get pinto beans in one, black beans in the other, plus guac with the veggie. Add whatever else I feel like (generally peppers/onions, lettuce, tomatos, cheese). Combine them at home for a tastelicous mix.

The better question is why Chipotle puts cilantro in their rice. Why you would force that devil's weed on anyone I have no idea. At least have some rice available without that nasty stuff in it.

You can ask for rice without cilantro at Chipotle. My friend does it all the time and they have it available.

lol: "does anyone know the recipe for chipotle burritos?"

what a tard.

note: asking how one makes the rice is different from asking for "a burrito recipe." 😀

Chipotle is not what most consider FF. There is no drive through and they serve alcohol in many places. Even so, it's probably considered "Fast Casual," like Five Guys/Subway, by many, which I'm more inclined to agree with.
 
Chipotle's rice is delicious, I always ask for extra and they give it no extra charge without skimping on any of the other ingredients either.

You can get extra meat if you ask for it but they'll almost always charge more unless you know the staff to be generous 😛
 
Personally my favorite is Moe's Southwest Grill. They have a salsa bar with many flavors/hotness, and you get unlimited chips and salsa.
 
Hi, Im an ATOTer. I don't like anything popular, such as Chipotle. This proves that I am in fact better than the people who wait in long lines for Chipotle on a daily basis.


Carry on.
 
In way after the "Chipotle is not Mexican food, I've eatin at one hundred super awesome hole-in-the-wall places that are one hundred times better"

And for the record, the burrito bowl is where it's at, screw the crappy flour tortilla. Bowl with rice, black beans, chicken, and hot salsa is all good.

they don't use basmati rice, its just regular white rice. The ingredients are vegetable (soybean) oil, cilantro, citrus juice (lemon and lime), and kosher salt. And the rice is cooked with a few bay leaves in it.

I used to work there so I know this firsthand.
