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.

cant you tell us this later? why arent you doing vegasy things?

Re: just had chipotle for the first time today..
 

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

I wouldn't be so sure on that. The steak isn't exactly grade a beef.

i don't get it...

regarding point a, why would they be any less/more likely to spit in your food for the fun of it?

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.
