Guest Jimbo Report post Posted December 5, 2003 It's the best fast food joint around these days, IMO. Basically, Chipotle is a Subway'ish Mexican restaurant that has the BIGGEST and BEST meals around. Seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2003 I've had it before. It's OK, but a bit pricey. The people I went with said it would fill me right up, but, like usual, I downed my dish in the blink of an eye and was ready for another meal... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2003 It's the best fast food joint around these days, IMO. Basically, Chipotle is a Subway'ish Mexican restaurant that has the BIGGEST and BEST meals around. Seriously. Best fast food place for my money. Yes it'll run you between $5-$6.50 for the meal alone but it's a good sized meal and they've got some decent meat, unlike some other Texican fast food joints. I normally have the veggie or pork in a burrito bol (i.e. no tortilla). Leaves me full without feeling like I wanna puke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2003 A chipotle burrito has: 1500 calories 150% of your daily need of salt 50g of fat. Needless to say: I love them. Rarely. That made me curious. So, looking around the web, I found the following at The Center for Science in the Public Interest: - Chipotle's Chicken Burrito (with black beans, rice, cheese, and salsa) weighs in at nearly 1,000 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat. - Chipotle's Vegetarian Burrito (with black beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, and salsa) weighs over a pound and provides 1,120 calories and three-quarters of a day's worth of saturated fat (14 grams). - Chipotle's Barbacoa Burrito (with shredded beef, pinto beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa) hits nearly 1,300 calories and three-quarters of a day's worth of saturated fat. That's the equivalent of a Quarter Pounder, a large order of fries, and a large Coke. - Chipotle's Chicken Burrito Bols--burritos without the 340-calorie flour tortillas--are CSPI's only recommended "Better Bites" at Chipotle. A Bol with chicken, black beans, lettuce, and salsa, has just 430 calories and four grams of saturated fat. Rice instead of lettuce adds about 200 calories. -If you want a Chipotle Burrito and not a Bol, CSPI advises consumers holding the cheese and sour cream. That can save 200 calories and a half a day's worth of saturated fat. We estimate that skipping the rice could save 200 calories more. And most Chipotle Burritos are big enough for two meals: Just ask your server to wrap each half separately. Apparently a lot of that fat comes from the cheese and sour cream. I guess my veggie burrito bol weighs in around 780 calories, which I suppose isn't too bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2003 The issue w/ chipotle is that you probably also down two large cokes if you're a real man and get the hot salsa. If you also get some chips ... I mean come on. You're hitting 2000 easily. People, I know friends who can down TWO in one sitting. Chipotle = poison. mmm poison... Also I'm curious as to where the other chipotles are? Mines is of course in College Park, MD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 8, 2003 There's many in Ohio. I didn't care for them the first time, but then I had one ordered differently which I liked. It seems to be a place where you need to experiment before finding out how you like them made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stardust Report post Posted December 8, 2003 There are 2 franchises in the DFW area I have been to but use different names, one of which was in Denton near UNT. Another one just opened in this area, too. Not as close to the campus. Oddly enough, I've never eaten at Chipotle. There's another place close to campus, though, called Hooya's that sounds a lot like what y'all are saying Chipotle is. They make good quesadillas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swift Terror 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2003 I went there soon after they came to Cincinnati--it sucked, no flavor and the lady behind the counter could not string two coherent english words together. I thought this thread was going to be about Chipotle in general, as a sauce or something. Now that I love. O'Charly's has this Chipotle chicken that is fucking terrific.
