Chipotle

I feel like every time I go to any Chipotle, it is always packed.  Nevertheless, the long line leading up to the counter always seems to move quickly.  Everyone is in a rush to get their hands on a delicious, piping hot Chipotle burrito.

Regardless of your order-whether it is a burrito, burrito bol, or tacos, the food is always made fresh, right in front of your eyes. I recommend their giant burritos for big appetites, so don’t waste your time or money on the other choices. However, if you are not extremely hungry, I recommend the burrito bol which is less filling, but still delicious. I chose to indulge in a burrito.

Unlike its franchise owner, McDonald’s, Chipotle does not allow food to sit around endlessly before it is served.  The piping hot burritos are made to order.  You follow your burrito down the counter of ingredients.  It begins as a simple flour tortilla and ends as a tin foiled masterpiece.  You can be sure your burrito has exactly what you want because they only put what you want in it.

I am particularly fond of the ingredients at Chipotle.  All the ingredients are fresh and there is only free-range chicken, pork and beef.  However, you could consider the taste “Americanized”.  It lacks the kick of traditional Mexican food, but can be spiced up with one of the various salsas: fresh tomato, roasted chili-corn, tomatillo-green chili, and tomatillo-red chili. 

For an intergrated taste of flavors you can ask to have your burrito fillings mixed; it mixes the ingredients together so you can taste every flavor.

However, there are a few minor downfalls to Chipotle.  The first is the guacamole.  It is delicious, yet exceedingly expensive, $1.65.  Also, unlike some other burrito joints, Chipotle does not include chips with the meal.
