100% agreed. i understand why people go to chipotle. you get a lot of food for little money, and it's seemingly healthy. i just don't understand why people go apeshit for this bland crap. the meat is tough too.

a real taqueria is way better, and usually cheaper.

whenever i hear of people loving chipotle, i imagine they go nuts over olive garden's all you can eat salad and breadsticks.

Seemingly healthy is the relevant bit; Chipotle doesn't publish nutritional information, last I knew, but I remember Googling "Chipotle nutrition information" a while ago and seeing some depressing statistics. The phrase "artillery shell loaded with saturated fat" comes to mind as one that was used. The tortilla carries a surprisingly huge caloric load.

I tend to go carnitas or vegetarian when I go there. The chicken is bland, I agree, but I like the way they do the carnitas. And vegetarian is probably ballpark healthy, or at least I would like to hope so.

EDIT: A link to a Chipotle nutrition calculator. I also forgot to mention that, for those who didn't know, Chipotle's parent company is McDonald's, which surprised me somewhat when I first learned it.

I don't argue Chipotle is good Mexican food. I argue it's damn good food. Traditional Mexican and Chipotle can exist, as long as you realize there is a stark difference between the two.

i am not even really bashing chipotle. i am just saying, you can go to a real taqueria and get what you get at chipotle, pay less, and it will taste better.

This is simply a point where taste preference diverges.
