Don't Eat at Chipotle

by theaccidentalguru

Last Friday I picked up my in laws from the airport and then 2 veggie burritos from Chipotle. The only difference between the burritos was that one had the corn salsa and one didn't. My wife and I shared the burrito with corn salsa and we've never been sicker. Nausea, loose motions, all the nasty stuff!!! My in laws were fine, as they shared the other burrito (sans corn salsa). I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm a big believer in the process of elimination and simple logic. I'm never ever ever ever ever ever going to Chipotle anywhere again, and I'm going to recommend everyone I know against going to this chain.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Everything

Eh

by Awesomegirl12

This place has "okay" burritos. I felt it was over priced and I could get better burritos for cheaper at the farmers Market. One of the only good things is the salsa, and they even charge extra just to have it in your burrito.

Bland Mexican food

by jp90291

I'm not sure why this place is always so crowded. It's very bland and does not offer any variety. Not vegetarian-friendly, either. This place is an assembly line of boring food. I think a frozen burrito would rival it in flavor.

• Pros: fast
• Cons: taste, value

This place rocks!

by caligirl30

I love Chipotle. Their food is consistant, fresh, and tastes great. I love the chicken bowl with extra chicken and guacamole eaten with the yummy chips. My boyfriend and I love this place. The only downfall is that the workers sometimes do not listen to what you want, so you have to be very CLEAR. I have seen them screw up people's orders numerous times by not listening to what the person was saying.

• Pros: juicy chicken, fresh guacamole, crisp lettuce, just plain yummy
• Cons: not the brightest employees

Not authentic, but makes up for it by being really really good

This former McDonald's-owned franchise may not be authentic, but the ingredients are fresh, light, and delicious. For those not into heavy, greasy Mexican food (myself included), Chipotle offers a delicious alternative that's made right in front of you to your specification. While the menu isn't as prolific as many other similar places, you have plenty of options in front of you.

The burritos are incredible, although the large mass of rice takes something away from the spicy flavor of the meat and salsa (assuming that's what you get) so it's best to ask them to put a little less rice or grab a bottle of Tabasco, Guac Tabasco, or Chipotle Tabasco (I'd recommend the thirdit has a rich smoky flavor rather than just being hot like the original) and ask them to sprinkle it over the rice side.

When the line doesn't look like the 405, it's nice to munch on the burrito there rather than getting it to go. Eclectic music and minimalist, industrial design help keep the cool, relaxed feel. The employees are all friendly and even when it's packed they usually have smiles on their faces. It might be something in the salsa.

• Pros: the food is fresh and delcious, decent parking, great service
• Cons: small menu
