Anybody who doesn't get the hot chili sauce is suspect.

This is pretty strange given that I ate at Chipotle for the first time today.

I like the corn salsa, it has a nice sweet and spicy taste to it, plus I like corn.

Never heard of Chipotle, though I still participated in the poll because I would get steak, blackbeans, rice, cheese, guac (no lettuce), and the hottest sauce available. Is this place any good? How's it compare to Baja Fresh.

I like the taste of the Hot but if you dont tell them you want a little of it the taste will overpower the whole burrito.

It's a completely different league. Baja Fresh = crappola, whereas Chipotle represents fast food bliss.

Never been to Baja Fresh.

They're better than Taco Del Mar (or if you're in the Seattle U-District, better than La Vaca, worse than Pepe's) by my taste. But nothing that I'd go crazy over.

I think Baja Fresh is better, but there is nothing wrong with Chipolte. Damn, I might go there for dinner now.

agreed, and I would say the same thing about the guacamole.

Diablo's list of things that are really weak:

I have eaten there once. Just wanted to try it. I also have eaten at a Quiznos once.

I prefer Baja Fresh- they have a lot of things on the menu. Places like this should put Taco Bell out of business.

So wait... we're talking about Mexican food on the East Coast? Is this a joke?

Sorry, we do not have them here in Pittsburgh. I think that we are the last place in the country to get most restaurants, as we finally just got a Red Robin and I am still waiting for a Waffle House or IHOP.

Is it like Taco Bell?

Where is the choice for not eating Suburban-Mexican food and actually going to an authentic place where they don't use sticky white rice in a burrito?

There's a place by my work called "New York Burrito." Needless to say, I've never been.

Doesn't McDonald's own Chipotle?

In TX there is a local place called Freebirds which is far better than Chipotle. Just remember everytime you eat at Chipotle, you are eating McDonalds. Baja Fresh is so so.

I forgot that the NorthWest is a foreground of Mexican immigration.

I can't wait to see Enchiladas-Seatle Style, at Mama Mexico in NYC.

Freebirds is the nuts. I ate the super burrito there, the one that is about the size of a Pee Wee league football. Won a little money off of doing so as the guys I was with doubted my eating prowess.

Mama Mexico up by 103 and Broadway. Some of the best I've had in the city.

I didn't know that. As much as LA/AZ and San Diego? I find it hard to comprehend. We have our fair share in NY...we have some pretty good joints.

ThaSaltCracka
12-29-2004, 02:18 PM
no, not as much as northern Mexico aka SoCal.

You would be surprised though. Eastern Washington is full of migrant farmers that come up during the harvest times. Seattle is an amazingly diverse city filled with immigrants.

I havent eaten mexican in AZ but I would agree SoCal is hard to beat. I am in the San Diego area fairly often and even the "average" joint there is far superior to what I have seen elsewhere.

Agreed.
Some West Coast people would be amazed at how diverse the rest of the country is wrt to the same concepts. There are plenty of hispanics in the South. Plenty of hispanics up north in NY and the surrounding areas...but yeah, most Mexican food joints are horrible out here in Atl. There are several good ones, but my general rule of thumb is if the menu is in spanish, the food is gonna be good.

I met the owner of one of the more popular chains of tex-mex joints* in Atlanta and he was a very nice Chinese gentleman. I found it rather amusing that the owner of a Mexican food joint was Chinese.

*tex-mex is crap, imo

Hispanics are the largest minority in America, which means they are everywhere.

You people need to get to Texas and have some real Tex-Mex. I spent 3 1/2 yrs in SoCal and most of it was bland crap.
