Just had Chipotle tonight. Will report back if I died.
if you all ever have a chance, my one of my best friend's cousin opened up a restaurant, Cave, and now they have opened a chipotle-style of fast food restaurant, Cava Grill, with the same type of food.
it is more expensive than chipotle by a few bucks but it is ssooo good. it's basically a Mediterranean chipotle. the harrisa is so fucking good though. and the crazy feta ... wow. so good.
they have quite a few in the DC area and he just moved to LA a year or so ago to start it out there, and apparently they are starting stores up in NYC now too.

People actually pay money for Jimmy John's? I was convinced that place was just a money laundering operation for the drug cartels.
can't say i've ever been to a sitdown place where they serve you in styrofoam. no wonder they are cheaper than chipotle they don't even have dinnerware.
also, that is far from "2x" the food you get at chipotle. chipotle is far from "small". they will literally give you as much food as you want and the only thing they charge you more for is the meat. you can get as much toppings, rice, and beans as you want.
but for $5.50 that does look good whatever it is.
none of those here. there's so many viet places in addition to all the pei wei garbage it'd be a big test for them, though.
LOL, burritos aren't even real Mexican food. They're not even suppose to exist. As far as all the shit that Chipotle shovels in theirs, imho it's just to fill it up. I order mine the way it comes where I go, most places it's meat + cheese + beans + hot sauce. I've eaten burritos at like 500 spots and I can't recall another besides Chipotle that put whole black beans in it, or half that other shit. Did you not see a picture of the burrito I posted today? That's about in line with how a burrito normally looks. there was plenty of stuff inside of it.

please elaborate.
techically he is correct on that. Burritos are texmex and are not common in Mexico.
Burritos are a traditional food of Ciudad Juárez, a city in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, where people buy them at restaurants and roadside stands. Northern Mexican border towns like Villa Ahumada have an established reputation for serving burritos. Authentic Mexican burritos are usually small and thin, with flour tortillas containing only one or two ingredients: some form of meat or fish, potatoes, rice, beans, asadero cheese, chile rajas, or chile relleno.[15] Other types of ingredients may include barbacoa, mole, refried beans and cheese, and deshebrada (shredded slow-cooked flank steak). The deshebrada burrito also has a variation with chile colorado (mild to moderately hot) and salsa verde (very hot). The Mexican burrito may be a northern variation of the traditional taco de Canasta, which is eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.[citation needed]
Although burritos are one of the most popular examples of Mexican cuisine outside of Mexico, in Mexico they are only popular in the northern part of the country.

and I hate to reference wiki but...
Not common, sure. Not Mexican? BS.
please elaborate.
Go to Mexico, order a burrito and tell me how that goes. Not a tourist area, I mean where only Mexican people are. Burritos are as Mexican as a Choco Taco.

The burrito was born in Chihuahua where popular tradition attributes the invention to Juan Mendez, who would would store guisados in flour tortillas and transport them by burro to Ciudad Juarez for sale.Hence the name, burritos! Today the fine Chihuahua burrito tradition is famously represented in Villa Ahumada with their famous burritos of asadero cheese, where motorists driving from Cd. Juarez to Chihuahua stop to pay homage to the burrito norteño. In Sonora, burritas de machaca are a must have snack, along side a bit of frijoles maneados (refried beans made with two cheese and chorizo mixed in). Northern Mexican burritos are thin, usually made with wheat flour, and have a single guisado, but no more than two ingredients. The best ones I’ve had recently were in Jalisco at a burritos norteños stand, a burrito with picadillo and another with rajas con queso (chile strips with cheese)--great 2AM street eats.
