View Full Version : just had chipotle for the first time today..

the one on the vegas strip, next to the imperial palace.

what can i say? chipotle sucks.

let me explain.. i don't really mean it sucks. it actually tasted good. there was nothing about it (carnitas fajita burrito) i didn't like, and i might even eat another meal there while i'm in vegas.

the thing is, it totally sucks when you compare it to a half-decent taqueria, even the ones i eat at in boston.

let's be honest, the rice situation blows. also i'm pretty sure i got a bad wrap job by the bitch behind the counter. i tried to not let that influence my thoughts though.

anyway, like i said i will probably eat another meal there this trip. it was tasty, but i think most things are, i'm the least picky eater in the world, and it shows to some extent.. but it doesn't even compare to half-decent real mexican.

"but it doesn't even compare to half-decent real mexican."

Hmmmm, maybe thats because its McDonalds.

I wouldnt say a big mac compares favorably with a burger from a local steak house.

the only advantage it has over a real taco shop is that
a) you know the mexicans aren't spitting in your food just for the hell of it and
b) you don't have to worry about the meat being pigeon or dog

its fine for a quick, easy meal that you know isn't going to make you sick

McDonald's, of Oak Brook, Ill., hasn't spelled out its precise ownership
in Chipotle, but it is estimated to be 90%. Chipotle, founded by
restaurateur Steve Ells, has quickly become the nation's fastest-growing
company in the so-called Mexican fast-casual segment of the restaurant
industry.

thatpfunk

11-28-2005, 10:05 AM

a) at chipotle you see your food the entire time. that makes it pretty close to impossible, unless you happen to be blind, for them to spit in your food.

b) the meat at many taco shops in san diego is very, very sketchy compared to what you find in a chipotle. believe whatever you want, however.

you pinhead. Comparing Chipotle to real Mexican food is like comparing the US dollar to the Peso. Sure, both are money - but they're totally different. If it tastes good - and fits your budget - what's there to complain about? If you want good Mexican food - go to a Mexican joint - if you want a quick and fast burrito (a very casual relationship to Mexican food at most) - go to Chipotle.

note that in my original post, i did say it was tasty. don't give me the "if you want a quick and fast burrito" argument though. most very good taquerias have you in and out just like chipotle. i'm not comparing it to a fancy sit down mexican restaurant or anything.

I have to agree with daryn with his review. I tried Chipotle for the first time about 2 months ago. I actually went out of my way to go to the Chipotle location in San Francisco on Montgomery street and got a steak burrito with their hot sauce/salsa. I regretted it as soon as I saw that they used white rice. I also got a load of really bad/cheap steak in my burrito. I had to spit out 4-5 pieces because they were so rubbery.

Anyway, it isnt that bad but Id have to give it a poor grade if I compared it to any decent burrito joint or mom & pop taqueria that Ive gone to in san jose. Im guessing that everyone that hyped it up lives in a location where there are zero burrito joints and have never eaten Mexican food.

But Im real curious why the hell do they just use plain white rice in their burritos? Even taco bell has some form of imitation spanish rice in their food.

Chipotle burritos are a little bigger, a little less greasy, use white rice instead of spanish, and seem to be wrapped more loosely. They don't give you the chips like moe's, but you can buy a big bag of chips and salsa for like $2 extra.

I like both. I switch it up depending on what I feel like.

I have been doing the MOES thing for about a month. Probably 3-4 times a week. IMO Moe's is much better than Chipotle due to all the extras that you can throw in there. and the employees seem to be nicer. The one thing i hate about Chipotle is how you get all your meat on one side and all your rice on the other. When i ask them to mix it up i always get the "I don't get paid enough to mix up your [censored] white dude." Moe's or Baja Fresh. no more Chipotle for me...

jeeez, i feel like my whole post has been completely misconstrued. i eat at crappy taco shops like santanas, robertos, filibertos, don bravos, etc at least 3 times a week. i love them, i love their food. i never said they weren't good.
the only advantages to choosing chipotle over one of these places are (and i honestly dont even see how this can disputed if you are eating at the type of places that i consider normal mexican) that at chipotle you don't have to worry about someone spitting in your food. this is a fact, you see your food as its being made. at 9 out of 10 traditional shops you order at a widow or front counter. your food is made in the back. these guys deal with a lot of drunk high school and college kids on a regular basis that are [censored] brats and they get pissed. to think they don't spit in kids food occasionally is naive. its just reality that sometimes there is the chance of this happening.

as far as the meat goes, if you don't believe the meat at chipotle is generally of better quality than what you find at these places then youre either crazy or stupid. now, this isn't to say the meat tastes better because this isn't the case. however, chipotle meat has never been too bad on the way out the next day. if you haven't had some SERIOUS battles with traditional mexican the next day (going out either way) then once again you are not eating at the same type of places that i am.

now, does this mean that chipotle is better? no, obviously not. as i said in my first post it is easy and low risk so i go there occasionally. when im not feeling in tip-top shape the last thing i want to do the next day is deal with extreme heartburn and a massive case of the shits.

make sense?

11-28-2005, 09:15 PM

ok, i went again today. another problem is the size of the burritos. they are too massive.. it's almost a joke how big they are. it's like eating a football. i thought i got a bad wrap job the first day but today it was the same thing. awkward and falling apart, how bad.

daryn, i completley agree. in downtown sf we have both a chipotle and several more authentic burrito shops. we never go to chipotle b/c it does not compare to most places. however, in more surburban places like northern va (where i am from) there are fewer such authentic choices, so chipotle is the standard choice.

Freebird also addresses the complaint of burrito size by offering a smaller or humongous one. I do think the chicken is a little better at Chipotle but overall the Freebird wins.

And lets not forget the fact that Freebird's hires nothing but freaks.

oh boy.. the carnitas is just CRAZY DELICIOUS. i used to get steak all the time but then tried carnitas and never went back. the other thing i like about this place is it's kind of soup-nazi style ordering. i think they get a little pissed at you if you don't know what you're doing. anyway..

i usually order a super carnitas, black beans, cheese (comes on the tortilla already), salsa, lettuce, hot sauce, jalepenos, guacamole, and possibly a slight touch of sour cream. some of these items are optional of course.

or you could go the quesadilla route. a quesadilla at anna's isn't like the traditional "mexican pizza" style quesadilla. it's almost like a burrito, but the tortilla is grilled with more cheese, and everything inside is all melty. mmmm... so you could go with a carnitas qusadilla, guacemole and sour cream. the possibilities are endless.

Hmm, I only went to Anna's once or twice (definetly once sober) and I thought it was good but not great.

I think Picante (Davis and Central) is great. How do they compare to you guy's? Maybe I need to give Anna's another chance.

i have heard picante is "just as good if not better" than anna's from a friend of a friend. i have always been skeptical but still i meant to try it. i will definitely try it out when i get back and then find this thread and post what's up.

That's how I felt. It's good, but I never saw why people made such a big fuss about it. I've eaten at the Porter Boca (on Mass Ave) many times and Anas only once because even though the latter is better, it didn't seem worth walking the extra five blocks or so given that Boca was on my walk home.
