Chipotle and people not living on the west coast.

[brassnuts]

I see a lot people jocking of Chipotle fairly hard here on 2+2, and it seems like the majority of it comes from people living in the eastern United States. I recently ate at Chipotle for the first time. I just moved back to Santa Barbara this summer, and I'm not sure if it was here before. Regardless, I was surprised to see the restaurant, as I actually first heard of it on the forums.

Anyways, I enjoyed the burrito, though it seemed pretty run of the mill for this area. I don't think it warrants all of the praise it gets. I'm sure some people will flame me for this post, but don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to bash Chipotle. I just wonder if maybe it's overrated in areas with less Mexicans because it's the only decent Mexican food to get. For what it's worth, I live about a half mile from a locally owned Mexican food chain called Super Cucas (#1 if anyone was wondering) and personally prefer their food.
