Act like Chipotle isnt trash brehs

[J-Fire]

It's gotten a lot worse. I won't touch their steak any more. Tastes like grade D meat all fatty and gristle. Plus, that's a LOT of calories. I think the burrito and chips was about 1000 together.

mom and pop don't list calories though, lol. i doubt it's more calories than any other Mexican place.

I went there and got a double chicken bowl with just brown rice and pinto beans Shyt was 15 dollars

I could buy a whole bag of boneless chicken breast for 8-10 dollars

A bag rice for 2 dollars

A can of beans for a dollar

Shyt is robbery double meat is only one chicken breast so that mean regular meat serving size is a half of chicken breast

Im not talking about the taste because it's decent food I just don't understand why people pay absurd amounts of money for fast food

Fine dining Mexican,lol. Mexican is all fast food. No $300 meals for Mexican where I'm from.

Mom and pop....never seen it look as fresh as chipotle. And chipotle is cleaner than any place but a decent restaurant. Mom and pop ingredients are not held to standard of chipotle and that is part of the selling point.

i live in the bay and eat out in berkeley, oakland and san francisco a lot and a few mexican restaurants can run you 25$ a meal. maybe it's just location because of a lot of mom and pop shops out here have fresh everything when i order from them

and i fukks with chipotle heavy so i'm not hating or throwing shade at them. chipotle is #1 on my list for food on the go.

convenience
Personal anecdote but I have been eating there once a week. It's easier to stop there, hit my macros and keep going than to make the same meal at home.

You can cook chicken and rice in under 30 mins and the beans are pre-made in a can. But I'm one of them that eat fast food or restaurant food maybe like 4-5 times out of the years. Save a lot of money like that.

I cook a lot of my meals at home. For the once a week I'm going to have Chipolte, it isn't worth it.

Im saying. I see them ladling in that little bit of meat and

Hit the grocery store, most of them in my area even have a separate deli entrance. Food is cheaper there especially at night when they're trying to get rid of the what they didn't sell for lunch and dinner. I bet you can get in and out faster than the Chipotle line

 

[itsyoung!!]

i dont see the hype either. you can get a better tasting burrito for 5 dollars on any corner out here

to be fair we live in california

and yall live in LA.. even bay mexican food dont compare at all to LA mexican food

was just out there for the espys eating some tacos thinking how are these so much better than oakland/richmond hood spot tacos which are the best ones in the bay

so I can see how most posters here not from california can think chipotle is decent mexican food

I live within walking distance of Chipotle & I think it's pretty good

I'm not comparing it to anything else, I'm just taking it for what it is. I think a $7 chicken bowl is ok in my book & I like how the ingredients are seasoned. Sure there's always gonna be something that tastes better, but that doesn't make Chipotle taste any worse.

Just reading through this thread actually made me want it now. Probably gonna head there a little later this afternoon after the gym :antonio:

 

[No Homo]

okay ....that is a valid point as some people can taste it and really hate it. that's why they have no cilantro rice as well....they keep it in the back.

I can't taste cilantro like most people....it's garnish for me. people that can fully taste it...hate it.

Yeah i get the plain rice at chipotle... Chipotle isn't bad to me.. . I just had to vent on cilantro.. Just be lucky you cant taste it... It took me a while to realize why i didn't like chipotle.. I ate something my mom made asked her what was in it, then when she said cilantro was in it, I was like this is the same awful taste from chipotle... . I put the two and two together and realized it was the cilantro in the rice.

My only issue with chipotle is that if you try to get multiple ingredients, even if u skip cheese and sour cream, you are maxed out for salt for the rest of the day lol

Nah I don't eat lunch, I only eat twice a day. I eat like banana or apple and drink some water for lunch I be fine was never of them dudes who like to be full. But I do drink alots of water it makes me content on not eating a lot

I forgot about that line it had to be atleast a 15-20 min wait so that throw that convenience argument out the window
