E-Coli in their food

>>14729732
Over priced for a pretty mediocre meal. I can make a burrito at home for a quarter of the price and enjoy it more.

Chain fast food restaurant with poor sanitation standards and it's generally inferior in quality to Taco Del Mar.

>>14729745
Exactly. People pay $10+ for a tortilla, beans, rice, and a paltry amount of meat. Are they retarded?

>>14729732
White people thinking this is actually mexican food.

>>14729732
Chicken/steak burned to a crisp, boiled and burned chunks of vegetables passed off as "sauteed". The whole thing would somewhat passable if they at least didn't burn the meats to a rubbery crisp.

>>14729732

At some point all the Hispanic workers at the one near me got replaced by black teenagers who can't wrap a burrito to save their lives

>>14729732
twice as far away as the indian takeout place

>>14729732
every single time i get a bag of chips they're overly salty

>>14729732
the food is boring and monotonous.

>>14729732
beef burrito at taco bell is $1/ea.
or, even better, make your own. cheap and miles better than any fast- or fast-casual food.
overpriced, bland, way too fucking big. it's not even a burrito. it's a novelty, like those 5-patty burgers with 8 strips of bacon and 3 pounds of miscellaneous toppings.
trash "restaurant".

>>14729732
Standing in line for overpriced bullshit is retarded and anyone that submits to that bullshit should be hanged from poles until dead.

>>14729732
blood and shit in your underwear

I went there once when a coworker raved about it. It was overpriced and I could've gotten better food for the same price.

not enough bogo coupons
having to ask them to fill he big salsa cups all the way

PROS:
they fill the salsa cups all the way if you ask them too
they will give you double or tripple portions of beans, rice, or anything else

burritos aren’t mexican they’re tex mex retard
if i had a peso for everytime someone on ck labels burritos/chimichangas/fajitas as mexican food id have enough to fund the border wall and end the drug war

>>14729750
no, but when my gf insists on eating at the mall instead of going home, this is the cheapest place and i can get a good deal buying their gift cards.

>$12 for a burrito

>>14729732
Food makes you shit. Thats all I got.

>>14729732
too fucking expensive for just a bunch of basic shit I can make at home

>>14729750
Its Actually like 8.20$ jew nigger

Shitpoltle has all the flaws.

>>14729732
It's owned by mcdonalds and the ingredients are so cheap that stupid people actually pay for the prices and think it tastes good.

>thinking this is a better use of your time and money than a quick counter service.

>>14730723
You can make guac in like 20 minutes that's easy as shit. And since I'm not a fatass that's the only addition to the meal I need aside from the bowl which is just throwing meat, lettuce, cheese, beans and a bunch of other cheap shit together. Fuck your overpriced zoomer resturant

>>14730095
>Overpriced
>Too big
Pick one, pleb.
That's the best thing about Chipotle, you have half the burrito for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. Of course, how could I expect someone who enthusiastically patronizes Taco Bell to have any sense whatsoever.

>>14730757
The guac, salsa, beans, rice and corn are all made separately, from scratch, fresh and delicious. They're all objectively easy to make, which is why the chain is so efficient, but making them all at once, plus meat, is a full evening of cooking at home. The beans alone, depending if you start them from a can or dry can take up to 12 hours. Rice takes solid 30-40 minutes to cook right. Not labor intensive, but plenty of time investment in the kitchen. You go to some shithole like Taco Hell, and you're not getting fresh food, or anywhere near the quality of ingredients you get at chipotle.

>>14729732
Bland as fuck meat and their rice and beans are mediocre for what you pay. Never understood the chipotle meme.

>>14730885
All restaurants are based on customers being fat lazy and stupid

>>14730769
>storing junk food overnight
Do Americans really?
Sounds trashy as fuck.

>>14729732
Two flaws in an otherwise perfect restaurant.
>their steak is disgustingly tough and flavorless
>their prototype queso was fucking disgusting and tasted like a shitty broccoli cheese soup with a weird grainy texture instead of queso
They've redeemed themselves on my second point with their queso blanco, though. Good shit, new favorite side w/ chips. All around 10/10 restaurant. Simple. fresh food, hard for retard line cooks to fuck up but also justifiably priced because it would take someone a full day to make all that shit on the line from scratch as >>14730784 said. Replace the steak with the carne asada they had a while ago and never bring back the original shitty queso and it's perfect.

>>14730899
>Chipotle
>junk food
It's very high in fat and carbs, but they use fresh ingredients and (usually) more servings of veggies than most Americans see in a week. Comparatively pretty fucking healthy for fast food,

>>14730237
Haha, sucka! I got my birthday chips and guac.

>>14730989
It's still junk food.
Keep living in denial, fat cunt.

>>14731017
Junk food = some sloppa snack you eat out of a bag, like Cheetos or chips. Fast food = a shitty sloppa meal, but a meal nonetheless. Seethe, cope, and dilate europoor

>>14731024
>Seethe, cope, and dilate
Reddit is that way ---->

>>14731017
No, idiot. Junk food is not fresh cooked rice, beans, pico de Gallo and corn. Thats FOOD. the source down make it junk food. Taco Bell is junk food. a hotpocket is junk food. a chipotle burrito eaten the next day is exactly the same as a home made burrito eaten the next day. Chipotle uses regular ingredients you can find in a home kitchen. Other FF places get food shipped to them remade, mixed with preservatives, frozen and reheated.
holy shit you're an idiot.

>>14729732
I remember when this restaurant was making the front page of Ycombinator. I feel so fucking old.

The Jews have really got a grip on you Amerisharts, haven't they?

>>14730769
How do you have leftovers?

Burrito bowl
Brown rice
Double fajita veggies
Chicken
Pinto and black beans
Mild, medium, and corn salsas
Lettuce, sour cream, light on the cheese
Go to Chipotle when they give you a free guac coupon and get guac added on

There, you got 2 solid meals out of it for $7.58, including tax. I don't understand how people manage to spend double digit amounts of dollars at Chipotle.

It is made by 16 year old not following food safety guidelines.

>>14729742
it was norovirus, e-coli was jack in the box

>>14731137
it's all downhill from here anon

>>14729732
Kinda bland tasting. There are generally better options of the same food for the same price. Portions are fine I think.

>>14729732
Chipotle's main flaw is that it's right next to LSU campus and fuck fighting all the bullshit for a burrito when I can get drive through from Izzo's.

>>14729784
That's just how I like it.

>overpriced
>sub par seasoning
>charge extra for a basic ingredient


>steak and beans, warm
>Sour cream, cheese, guacamole, veg, pico. Cold
>luke warm shitty weak tortilla burrito

The proper thing to do is roll it and slap it on a grill to ensure everything is warm throughout and adding a nice crunchy outer shell. Chipotle is vaguely above Taco Bell and that's being generous.

Is it better than Moes?

>>14729755
>rice and beans
>burritos
>tortillas
>corn chips
how is this not mexican?

>>14734809
burritos and tortilla chips are tex-mex/ americanized mexican food.

>>14734823
wrapping a bunch of shit in a tortilla and corn chips both originated in mexico.

>>14729784
get the carnitas or barbicoa next time. the chicken and steak at chipotle are a joke

>>14729750
>>14730402
where do you live you are paying these prices?
here it's $8 at most

>>14734549
No. Moes puts this trash in the dirt

Lol? Boiling water, 2 parts water for 1 part rice, 15 minutes
>What's a mise en place?
Get some experience and it'll take half an hour tops

>>14735205
Do you live in the 90s? Chipotle is an extremely well known word now

>>14735218
while I think he is retarded for making a big deal about it. If you want some good ass rice for your burrito you gotta toast in in the pan with oil until it's golden/translucent and the pot is piping, slap in your canned diced toms plus juice (yes, canned, they are picked at peak ripeness and thus are preferable for this application over fresh) add the proper amount of water and a roughly chopped opnion and your preffered seasonings. wait for the beginnings of a boil and lid the bitch and turn her to low and leave her alone for 20 mins. all in all it's about an hour for the rice, but I swear you'll never go back.

>>14734937
Not helping your case

>>14734836
>tacos are the same as burritos it's both tortillas with stuff in it!
>tostadas are just large tortilla chips!!!
do you realize how retarded you sound. both the modern tortilla chip and burrito originate from chicano restaurants in california in the 1930's-40's.

>>14729732
tortillas could be way better

>>14735470
This. Everything is ok, but their tortillas are pretty bad.

>>14735413
This. I don't make boring ass white rice that takes 15-20, you gotta dice the garlic or onions and brown the rice before you put the water in. this isn't some basic bitch asian rice cooker bullshit.

>>14729732
It's not QDOBA

>all the retards saying "make your own it's cheaper and better"
Yeah, sorry to break it to you buddy but that "Chipotle killer" burrito you just made at home? It tastes like shit. I know you've convinced yourself that it's better because you're poor and have no disposable income. But you need to come to grips with the reality that your sour grapes have clouded your judgment. You couldn't pay me to eat that slop you made.

>>14729732
rice is pretty bland

>>14735597

>>14735188
Willie's is the king

>>14729732
It's Hipster and Yuppie Taco Bell.

>>14729732
>Name a single flaw
I can name a few legit ones:
-sous vide steak instead of fresh
-bomb ass chorizo, but it's only a limited-time offer
-only experienced staff can whip up good chips. they usually come out either undercooked or too oily
-they got rid of corn tortillas

It's not that pricy if you don't go ham Tbh. a burrito should only be like $8.00 at most, and it's a decent size.

>>14730441
it's not the mid 00s anymore, McD bailed on Chipotle after fucking them up

>>14735470
IMO, they're undercooked. They should really press them for like 10 more seconds, but corporate has a fetish for moving the line as fast as possible and the line people end up not even cooking the tortillas.

>>14729732
>this many replies
and yet, the company that sells literal cat food is rated at a better satisfaction rate as mexican food

Chipotle fags will NEVER outlive /TacoBell/bois

>>14729732
I'm a delivery wage slave and like the majority of my deliveries are for Chipotle, I've been to all the ones in my side of the city. It's a surprisingly healthy meal for eat out food but quality greatly varies depending on location, that's my main gripe. If you go to a shit location, the rice is undercooked and the meat has been sitting and the chips are oversalted but the good ones are great. Queso blanco is actually really good, I like it a lot.

I was a Grill guy there for 5 years who trained under a grill guy who worked for chipotle for 10 years so I know a thing or two.

2 things really fucked up this place

1 - The food poisoning outbreaks
Chipotle overreacted and seriously compromised the quality of the food. It used to be restaurant-grade ingredients that were cooked fresh daily, and now most of their shit is processed at a facility before it reaches the restaurants. It was unnecessary; all they had to do was train the staff to wash their damn hands, take the time to wash the produce, cook to the meats to proper temps, and not show up when their sick

2- Gave up on the culture.
It used to be a more structured work environment. Almost like a fucking military. We had to memorize the history, the 13 characteristics, and the mission of the company. No one knows that shit anymore.
The staff had discipline and pride in their work. Sure there was a cult-like aspect to it, but the work ethic and productivity was 100 times higher. Nowadays, they higher like any fast-food place instead of looking for people that'll stay and move up in the kitchen.

>>14735824

>>14735833
what are you drinking??? for me its Oktoberfest by Yellowhammer Brewing

>>14735838

ngl, don't really know my alcohol, but usually $50 worth of coors gets me through the month so I stick to that. anything fancier doesn't seem worth it to me

No that's an incel trait. True chads eat a lot.

>>14729732
There's a local place a block away that sells burritos that are twice as big and contain higher quality ingredients for less money. I doubt anyone except tourists goes there.

>>14735913
Nah, shut the fuck up.

>>14729732
the queso sucks, flavor is off

the
the chicken qdobo is better

the cold ingredients are too cold, burritos come out lukewarm 100% of the time, compare to tocobell where the burrito is always warm

the pico is too strong, overpowers other flavors

guacaomle is bland, the guac at chilles is better

they mix the green peppers with the onions, I want the onions without the green peppers

salty

stingy, they never do a full scope, compare to panda express where they give a full scoop of meat

bland

overpriced

they chage you for chips, many other tex mex restraunts give chips for free with the burrito (moes)

>>14734524
>Chipotle is vaguely above Taco Bell and that's being generous
toco bell warm

chipotle cold
I will go with taco bell

>>14729745
>>14729750
I don’t get it, isn’t that true for any meal? Plus there’s like 5 components so I would have to prepare a bunch of different shot and probably buy a bunch of spices/ ingredients to get the same flavor. This argument makes no sense. Do you only fine dine when you eat out?

>>14729732
They don't mix their ingredients or build burros properly and the beef sucks. Also the tortillas suck and the add too much rice.

>>14730769
I did this as well

>>14731017
what are you even going on about do you just eat boullion cubes and boiled chicken for all your meals

>>14735880
How many chickens does it cost for them barley pops Eugene? Yall got a pack mule to takem back to the homestead?

>>14735597

>>14729750
>>14734937
Fat fucks on this board order a large drink and a side of chips and queso which inflates the price of the meal. They also add every extra item to their burrito they can. A chicken burrito is only $6.50. The cunts bitching about $10 orders are advertising, and complaining about, their own obesity.

>>14736899

I'd rather eat McD's and that's healthier believe it or not. Not to mention that it's a lot cheaper.
Chipotle has no flavor. The only way I can eat it is if I throw all the 3 sauces they have. The meat is so bland. I haven't eaten there in over a year and for 12 bucks I can get way better food especially from chinese places.

Imaging being so fucking poor you cant spend 8 bucks for quick food. Why bother with all that shit.

>>14739756
imagine being so fucking lazy that you can’t be bothered to cook rice and meat on a cooking board. i don’t buy chipotle with my parents credit card and would much rather get better ingredients, cook it how i want it, and have left overs for the week.

Moe's is better

>>14739998
If you want leftovers why not just double your Chipotle order? You're not poor are you?

>>14732936
No there were definitely multiple e coli outbreaks linked to chipotle. Mostly due to the lettuce. Fun fact that tends to get swept under the rug, it's often because of some illegal farm worker wiping their ass with lettuce and tossing it with the rest because they just don't give a fuck. The only reservoir of e coli is in the mammal GI tract, and the o157h7 variety that gives you horrible bloody shits, is almost exclusive to humans.

>>14740023
for $16 i could make 4x the amount of food that’s in a bowl with better ingredients.
i’d rather spend my money on things that are actually important in my life instead of giving into impulses and desires and taking the easy way out and eating at a fast casual restaurant every day.
but i guess you don’t have to care about financial responsibility since your parents bankroll you.

The ingredients aren't evenly distributed throughout the burrito. So one bite you'll get meat and veg and another is just flat out rice

my only complaint used to be that it was expensive at like $8 a burrito!
i used to love that it taste so different from all the mission style burritos im used too for $5/ea

but then the price of a mission burrito went up to $8 ea, and the portions shrinked in half

now that im ultra frugal, i have like one mission burrito a year, when ten years ago i was having one every other day :(
