I'd sell my soul for taco bell to bring back the chili cheese burrito. Have to repeat that from time to time so when the taco bell execs come to rerolled they will stop being assholes and bring it back.

I hope this is fast food related, the cooking thread spurred a question:

Should I try a Chipotle's? I've had 'mexican' food all over the southwest and Mexico.

Is it cheap? Is that Barbacoa pretty good, I'm guessing? What's the hubbub, bub?

Chipotle is fantastic. I can't comment specifically on the barbacoa, but the chicken, steak, and carnitas are all delicious. I doubt it will compare to authentic Mexican food, but in terms of fast food Mexican it easily tanks at the top, imo. The burritos are good, although I generally get a bowl. It's fairly expensive at like 6.25 minimum, and it goes up depending on the meat and if you get guac or other stuff with it.

My usual order comes out to around 8.50 I think. If it weren't so expensive I would easily get 2 or 3 bowls for lunch every day.

Chipotle is great. In fact I'm eating a carnitas bowl right now.

And as an aside, not every hole in the wall mexican place is the holy grail of food. I've had better food at taco bell than some "authentic" mexican places.

Holy balls, could you actually eat 3 burrito bowls in 1 sitting, as a normal meal? I'm a fatty mcfatterson and I'm pretty full after just 1.

McCheese has permanent explosive diarrhea. He ain't fucking around when he says he'll eat 3 bowls.

I'm going to have to disagree with the posters above me. Chipotle is bland, overcooked food. Is it the worst Mexican ever? No. Is it worth the money? Also, no. I'd rather eat Taco Bell than Chipotle because at least then I'm only spending like 4 bucks.

Back in December I ate 3 of them in one sitting. I ordered 2 first, ate them, then went back for the third. The Mexican girl making them laughed at me. I could have gone for a 4th but I didn't want to force it because at that point I was comfortably full.

I really don't get how people are able to eat so little.

I can agree with the first sentence. And if you mean betterqualityfood at taco bell, I can agree with the second. I don't think Taco Bell is mexicanier than anything, but I do enjoy eating there once in awhile.

Bland? No way. Especially with four types of salsa + sour cream to cover up the flavor of anything else.

I would agree that it's overpriced, but I don't think it's bland and it's definitely better than Taco Bell. In the end, it's still 'fast food'.

If chipotle had a drivethru, I'd eat there every goddamned day. $6.50 is reasonable for a meal, since most of us average human beings get full on 1 bowl, lol.

White rice
Black beans
fajita veggies
steak(sometimes barbacoa)
hot, corn, & fresh salsa
cheese

done

Chipotle can taste pretty good, but it is dogshit compared to your run-of-the-mill taqueria. The cilantro rice is very good and the barbacoa is really good (it's the only meat I'll get there). However, I typically go for a bowl because they suck complete ass at rolling burritos. They fall apart almost immediately. They don't tuck the ends so at first bite, they unravel. It's a pain in the ass. Just get a burrito bowl and some chips and use the burrito bowl concoction as a dip. Also, it pisses me off to no end that they keep their salsas on ice. It keeps the cheese from melting and you get cold spots.
