¿Why do people who have never been to México, let alone taken local regional cooking classes on tradicional ingredientes indigenas con Méxican chefs like I have, have such negative feelings about a high quality fast casual chain that no one in his right mind would mistake for auténtica gastronómica Méxicana?

Chipotle provides a quick, predictable, reasonably priced wholesome meal in convenient locations for business folk in high density commercial districts, can't we just agree on that? It's like getting mad that your West Coast IPA doesn't convey the subtle taste of hallertau hops - well of course it doesn't, that's not what it's about.
