Chipotle burrito or Hot Head burrito?

[CZroe]

Because rubes will pay more for things that they *think* are better. Some of those things are legitimate and some of those things (eg: non-GMO/organic) are total marketing BS that people just eat up.

Doesn't change the fact that it costs more. Those things don't appeal to me, but it doesn't change the fact that they make a damned fine-tasting burrito. It's their founder's personal values which he shares with a portion of their customer base. No doubt, those customers made their decision based on that just like Whole Foods' customers. Even if I don't care about factor-farming and suffering-free meants, they might be doing something right: I couldn't name an example of a nation-wide grocery chain to compare to Whole Foods when I made the banana/steak comparison. :hmm:

He never said their wasn't better places to eat, he said your moronic "Chiptole is bland" proves you have eaten too many paint chips and scalding pizza to have any taste buds left on your tongue.

Dunno the Chorizo breakfast burrito I'm eating right now's exploding with flavor. Is Chipotle bad? Nope, but it's bad for the price. If Toyota sold the Corolla for the exact same price as the Camry, it wouldn't make it a bad car but there would be no reason to get one. And if anything the fact I find it bland proves I've eaten at good places. There's a reason it gets almost universal 3 1/2 star ratings on Yelp.

Ahh, Chipotle thread; I knew QueBert would be here spreading his nonsense. Chipotle and attractive skinny white girl threads; bank on it.

I have an RSS feed set up to notify me of all Chipotle threads, I'm on a crusade against bland overpriced food.

This thread is making me hungry- for a real burrito. Chipotle is bland. There is no reason for anyone in California to settle for a bland burrito when there are so many real Mexican restaurants here.
There is a Chipotle about 1/2 mile from where I live, but I won't be going there.
El Farolito ftw.

 

[smackababy]

bland.

Some of you keep using this word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Really? Merriam-Webster says " lacking strong flavor". That is exactly the problem with Chipotle. Their rice is tasteless.
How about some synonyms: boring, dull, insipid, tame, blah, flavorless, unexciting, weak,ho hum, and vanilla.

 

[shortylickens]

you think its bland cuz your pallet is used to shitty food with excess flavoring. Thats how they trick your brain into thinking its tasty.

Chipotle tastes like real food, and if you grew up with processed garbage you probably wouldn't enjoy it.

 

[Thebobo]

7-11 burrito.

I just looked up "marincounty" and got the same definitions and synonyms!

My mouth could barely contain the overwhelming flavor I experienced at Chipotle today.

I knew this thread would drag Quebert out to repeat the same dumb shit over and over again.

that guy thinks Grapples are fruit.

seriously.

 

[MongGrel]

The only restaurant I knew that was close to real went out of business a few years ago.

We do ours at home these days I guess, it's not like most Mexican food is overly complex.

Just a casual weekend one, gets more involved occasionally.

 

[twofastxtreme]

Neither

Or maybe it's the people that think Chipotle is so great is because they are used to bland food so Chipotle is right up their alley. There's a reason why they only put them in certain geographical areas.

everywhere?

I think a lot of people seem to confuse traditional Mexican food with something that is bursting with flavor.

Sorry, it isn't. Outside of a good mole, you aren't going to find anything truly spectacular in that cuisine; and you certainly aren't going to find spectacular flavor at a good taco truck.

I love good taco trucks, and authentic Mexican food--but people here claiming that Chipotle is bland because: Mexican taco trucks are amazing! ...are absolutely fooling themselves.

And it's pretty much all Gringos making these claims.

which is fucking hilarious. (well, Quebert thinks he isn't one; but that's his problem)

I keep planing on getting some El Yucateco, but there all ready a lot there

I agree, is good stuff.

Even have a few need refrigerating on opening in the fridge.
