Because it's better than taco bell

Low level thrill from the risk of getting salmonella.

grilled chicken w/ rice and beans and green peppers and corn and salasa tastes good

taco johns is the best fast food mexican place

>>19954548
It's easily the worst

>>19954533
Gringos too scared to go to an actual Mexican joint.

>>19954559
"actual mexican joints" dont exist in the midwest. all you get are mexican food trucks that charge you 12 dollars for a taco made of kroger rotissery chicken

>>19954559
Every white person has been to a thousand hole in the wall Los Dos Burros places, Arturo

>>19954562
Then why are they going to chipotle when they’d get better food at a cheaper price?

>>19954533
Because the options are so shit even a shitty place like chopotle is better than the alternatives.

>>19954533
Normie here, went once, sucks.

>>19954571
I dunno, how come every time I go to Chipotle or Taco Bell half the customers there are mexican?

>>19954606
Americanized or no better options around. I’m in Texas, so there’s too many actual good options instead of chipotle.

>>19954562
They're called Betos it e Rancheritos where I live. Rolled tacos with with a dozen tiny containers of different salsas are an end of the week stoned treat

>>19954533
my first experience was my friend hyping it up, saying their burritos "are the size of a baby". So big burritos I guess. Honestly it's the only fast food I'd ever buy today, but there isn't one in my city so I haven't had it in a good couple of years. For me its the standard; white rice, black beans, beef, lettuce, cheese, and salsa.

>>19954610
I used to live in Colorado and I now live in eastern Washington both of which are full of mexicans, there are tons of good authentic beaner restaurants in both places and I still saw/see lots of mexicans in the shitty americanized joints

Mexican food is such ass in all its forms

>>19954757
Nah, that’s Indian(Poojeet) food.

>>19954561

This isn't the 1970s. Mexicans are everywhere and so is authentic Mexican food. I live in the Midwest in Chicago. You really don't think we have Mexicans in Chicago? Fucking dipshit.

moe’s is better but i cringe when they yell at me when i walk in

>>19954784
>the biggest city in the Midwest has Mexican food so obviously the whole region must right?
G*d you are one dumb idiot

>>19954796
im from a tiny one-stoplight county in the midwest and we had like 3 authentic mexican places

>>19954787
>moe’s is better but i cringe when they yell at me when i walk in
their salsas have chili powder

>>19954796
Why are Californians so ignorant? Have you ever left your county before, bumpkin?

>>19954796
I think only Miami-Dade had a bit of a starved-for-mexican food situation, back in the day, because though everyone was spanish speaking, they were NOT from Mexico, so is/was is a bit of a good mexican food ghost town. You had to drive south to Homestead where migrant pickers might be.
EVERYWHERE else actually does have mexicans and their restaurants, and in fact the more rural and farmland oriented, the better.

>>19954828
I was born in Shannon county I’ve lived here all my life and have everything I need why would I live?

Good burritos before it got too expensive.

>>19954838
USA has way too many Mexicans

>>19954844
*leave not live

Damn

>>19954847
USA doesn't have enough Mexicans

>>19954844
Every day I ask myself why God lets californians live.

>>19954533
They love it because they love mediocre and non-threatening Mexican food. There aren't words they can't pronounce on the menu. The food won't be too flavorful or spicy.

Chipotle is probably the easiest fast food to cheaply replicate at home. Rice and beans are super cheap, and there's nothing special about their meats or seasonings. I can make an entire week worth of burrito lunches for what a Chipotle burrito costs.

>>19954796
Outside of extremely rural areas, almost everywhere has Mexican food. I'd guess something like 98% of the country lives within 20 minutes drive of a Mexican restaurant.

in addition to everything else in this thread, their branding as a healthy, fresh, clean place to eat. my autist friend won't eat at most fast food joints but will get panera, starbucks, and chipotle.

>>19954533
It used to be good and they spooned out large portions. Its the singular and only healthy option available in most areas. I know you're all obese and don't work out, but consider what you would buy if you wanted a quick meal and cared about getting enough protein and the exact amount of carbs you wanted without a ton of fat/other things added to the meal. Its Chipotle. I personally don't go there because now they're ridiculously priced and stingy on the meat. Wawa has the best protein/carb/fat ratio for a healthy meal on the go via their chicken wraps which also taste good and are ony 5 bucks. A lot of people don't know this though and are living like its still 2018.

>>19954533
The consistency of larger food operations but freshly made, probably the only freshly made fast food

>>19954533
It was good before they started raising prices. When you could get a pretty big double chicken burrito for less than $10. Now it is $15 and not worth it at all

>>19954558
>>for maybe a few bucks more than you'd spend at a fast food place
i paid like $16 for a chipotle burrito in connecticut this year

>>19954796
>G*d
In the pizza oven you go

>>19954854
To keep dabbing on faggots like you

>>19955088
It's about $12 for a Big Mac combo where I live.

Compared to most fast food places its kind of healthy

>>19954784
I doubt you've ever left California in your life. There are many, many regions in the mid-west and the East that blessedly have little to no Mexican presence, let alone a restaurant.

>>19955804

It's mexican't food for wypeepo

>>19954548
Potato ole'

>>19955843
? thats literally peak Midwest

>>19955807
it's so fucking over

>>19954537
Let's be honest. Chipotle Food Poisoning Grill is barely a notch above the Bell.

>>19954533
This is over a 15 years-old take. Today, it would be Chik-Fil-A.

their salad vinaigrette is pure crack, i love it
but that's their only redeeming quality

>>19954533
I wonder if Chipotle workers understand the key to stopping the spread of norovirus is hand washing

I bet theres a Subreddit for normies who love Chipotle.

>>19954784
I'm from Chicago and it's not really the midwest in a cultural sense. When people talk about the midwest in abstraction they mean Cedar Rapids or Brainerd. There's authentic Mexican there too, but I'm just sayin

>>19954838
What's the deal with Mexi-Cubano relations? Do they beef or jive?

>>19955088
As I would expect

>>19957370
There is but it has half the members that Taco Bell has

>>19957218
The real Taco Bell Advanced is Moe's, particularly because of the crunchwrap. Just don't get the steak at that place, it's always chewy.

>>19957383
Most Cubans are Based. For Mexicans, it depends on if theyre a Mexi-CAN or a Mexi-CAN'T.

>>19954613
Based Utah bro

>>19955881
I live in Chicago and have relatives in Wisconsin and Iowa. There's a massive difference between Chicago and the rest of the midwest, don't be fooled by the location. I mean fuck we have decent enough mass transit that you don't need a car, that should say something

>>19954541
>>19957218
>>19957369
Wasn't it Del Taco or Taco Bell everyone made fun of for diarrhea? Why is it now Chipotle?
If anything, it's people not used to spicy food using more sauce than they need.

>>19957834
That was Taco Hell.

>>19954548
yes, you're fat and have shit taste, we get it
>>19954543
It's simple as fuck--that's what makes it good.

>>19954533
>rice, beans, meat, cheese, and salsa not delicious together
wow you're so cool for not liking things

>>19954818
>their salsas have chili powder
and freshly made every day so who cares

>>19954561
>Doesn't have bodegas lining his city
I pity you. I used to go to one a long time ago that renovated to have a kitchen built into the store and they made home made meals. Going there for lunch was God like.

>>19957834
Because there have been at least three high profile salmonella/ecoli outbreaks linked to chipotle all in the last 6-7 years. Game them a bad reputation.
I think chipotle was really beloved by normies in the years after it first came out because it was better than taco bell, relatively cheap, used high quality ingredients and the portion size was insane back then. Current year, prices are up, quality is down and portions are probably 1/3 less than what they were in 2010 or w/e.

>>19954533
hot tortilla
hot rice
hot protein
ice cold salsa
cold cheese
i don't get it, either

It's still pretty good. Still pretty good portions at the one I go to. Way too expensive but I only go every other month so who gives a fuck.

>>19954533

>Because there have been at least three high profile salmonella/ecoli outbreaks linked to chipotle all in the last 6-7 years. Game them a bad reputation.
none of it was traced back to their suppliers, either. it all came from employees. Chipotle is a fervent perpetrator of LGBT agitprop. really gets the noggin joggin.
