I'm going to have to steal a lot of foil at work today.

 

[superHARD]

cost in foil will be more than what the lunch would have been

 

[ICR5]

it will be cheaper to buy the burrito itself then the foil.. plus Baja Fresh rules over Chipotle in my honest opinion.

Hell no!

I think Chipotle uses fresher ingredents, IMO. That and they are cheaper then Baja Fresh.
:thumbsup:

Ha! Everyone laughs at my tin foil hat, but today it gets me a free burito. Who's laughing now?

 

[Juno]

i love chipotle better than baja fresh!

but no chipotle available in rochester, ny.

 

[dew042]

sad. aluminum doesn't just grow on trees. this is just plain inhuman foil abuse. foil has feelings too.

dew.

Baja fresh >>> chipoltle

and I thought both were limited to the western half of the country.

No way, my nephew works at Chipotle, and says half their ingredients come out of a CAN! Baja Fresh is AUTHENTIC FRESH Mexican, and they pride themselves on making everything without any cans or microwaves.

Chipotle is half-ways between Taco Bell and Baja Fresh with regards to freshness and authenticity.

Wake up. McDonalds owns Chipotle. Ronald McDonald doesn't make authentic anything, except for cholesterol.

A lot of people also like The Olive Garden, but that doesn't make it good, or authentic Italian either.... :disgust:

Don't you go dissin the endless pasta bowl.

Calling either authentic mexican is a stretch. I eat authentic mexican at home every day (made by a mexican) and baja fresh is not authentic. They have carnitas, but you definitely don't go there for authentic carnitas. They are better than Taco Bell absolutely, but authentic? Nah.

I would call them the authentic american version of authentic mexican. If you want authentic mexican from a restaurant go to a small place owned and operated by people from mexico.

 

[brockj]

just got mine...thanks!

 

[HardcoreRobot]

qdoba is better than both, though they are all tasty

 

[nfamous]

Shampoo is better! I go on first and clean the hair! Conditioner is better! I make the hair silky and smooth!

I like chipotle the best, then la salsa, then quoba. Baja fresh tasted more like fast food to me than chipotle

Yeah, but then wouldn't all mexican (Taco Bell, Taco Tico, blah blah) in America be "authentic american version of authentic mexican" lol

Chubby's all the way for mexican food.

 

[Corporate Thug]

Chipotle > ALL

Just for clarification, you don't need to wrap yourself in foil to get the burrito. Just make a silly hat and walk on in. My cousin got a freebie for doing that. They guy behind him in line made foil bracelets and he got his free burrito.

There is a Baja Fresh up in Denver.

To me it's different food. Well, the same but different. I go to baja fresh for fish tacos, Chipotle doesn't have fish tacos unless they added them recently. I love the beef and pork tacos at Chipotle, but wow have you ever seen the calorie count on their food?

Not really. Those are authentic american versions of mexican, not authentic mexican. They don't even try to make authentic mexican. Baja fresh tries to make authentic, but it's not really...it's an american version of mexican.

Even the small ones owned by mexican families are americanized some. They put out that yucky almost sweet tasting salsa which is like pace or something like that for american tastes. You have to ask for authentic salsa, like salsa de tomatillo con chile de arbol, in those places to get salsa like in mexico. You don't see that sweet stuff in mexico unless possibly where a lot of americans go.

Baja fresh tries to make somwhat authentic, but it's not really...it's an american version of mexican. When I think of authrentic mexican food I think of Carne de puerco con chile verde, mole (mo-lee), bistek ranchero, Mileneza, carnitas, carne asada, etc.

Mmmm, fish tacos. The wife makes good ones and we used to go to ensenada a lot and they had excellent ones there.

Just what this country where 60% of the population is F-A-T needed. What a bunch of pigs we are to not be satisfied with the 1000+ calories that one of there oversized pasta bowls provides to begin with....that's not even counting the 5 greasy breadsticks the typical pig there eats with his meal.

No wonder healthcare costs in the U.S. are becoming unbearable due to us all sharing the cost of unplugging these pigs's arteries with heart bypass surgeries, paying for the obesity-related diabetes, etc, etc.

What in a chipotle burrito comes out of a can? Tortilla? nope. Meat? nope. Rice? nope. Beans? I would imagine so but probably the same as everywhere. Veggies? nope. Salsa and sourcream. Who knows. McDonalds last time I heard did not even have a controlling share in the company.

Is that why myself and the other dozen people in my apartment building all have a normal (read: non-obese, non-overweight) BMI? We're all skinny
