What is even good to eat here?

Is your town so small you don't have actual mexican restaurants in it?

Their food is shit.

>>6172073
No it isn't.

>>6172072
There's two here but that isn't really relevant when no two mexican restaurants are the same...

except Chipotle.

Chipotle is one of the better choices for fast food. It amuses me to see sheltered wannabe hipsters sperging out about how it's not "real mexican". I've traveled to most of Mexico except BC Sur, NL, Tamaulipas, and Sinaloa, and it never would have occurred to me to complain that "chipotle isn't real mexican food". The connection is just too remote.

Burrito bowl is the greatest fast food meal of all time.

Prove me wrong.

Qdoba has better prices and doesn't charge you out the ass for green slop.

>>6172146
>charge you out the ass
>$2

isn't the qdoba guacamole made from powder?

>>6172049
they're good but expensive as fuark, relatively speaking

i would rather go to one of the many other shops that's cheaper and on par or better in quality.

>>6172085

I know one of them but what's the other one?

>grow up in a small town
>great locally owned restaurants
>come back to visit while in college
>local business closing
>replaced by panera bread

>>6172078
ok guys this is an obvious troll thread.
5/10

>>6172146
you got to be kidding me a dollar seventy five for a shot glass of salsa in a tiny bag of chips they're free everywhere else

>>6172049
Let's be honest: Chipotle is the Subway of burritos. The food is cooked in the back of the store, brought on the line, and assembled by people who look absolutely miserable. The only difference is that Chipotle puts a lot more money into their image. They're not doing the local/organic thing because it's better food or healthier for their customers. If you think that, then you are laughably naive. They do it for the marketing. Period.

People line up outside the door to eat at this shit hole in my city. The customers are incredibly obnoxious, autistic suburbanites. I go next door to McDonald's, and spend half as much money and time. Tastes better too.

>>6172334
>there's no demand for local/organic, it is all a jewish lie

Oh em gee. My eyes have been opened at last! Consider me redpilled

This is flyover:the thread right here

Don't forget to go on monday and order sofritas to get a free burrito!

>>6172369

How is that a scam?

>>6172410
FUCK YOU MAN

>>6172334
it really isnt. chiptole does not make very good burritos... places like poquito mas are much better chains and the 500 Mexican restaurants surrounding my city are much better as well. However if i go to the gym after working for 8 hours and dont want to go home and cook.. a bowl of rice beans veggies and chicken/barbacoa/carnitas for less than 10 dollars is really not a bad deal. sure the meat is not amazing but for the price i really cannot complain. Its not really the shittiest food you can get when you need the calories/protein and you dont want to spend any money or do any work and when you can pick it up on your way home.

>>6172334
>suburbanites complaining about suburbanites

toppest of keks

>>6172049
i dont understand the hype

>>6172049
Chipotle's ad people are trying too hard.

also, your restaurant's shit, i'd eat at Taco Bell before i eat at your shit establishment.

>>6172657

what hype? they've been around for at least 15 years if not longer. are you one of those people who thinks anything that wasn't allowed into mommy and daddy's control bubble is a meme?

>>6172049
Enjoy your bland, tasteless "Mexican" food.

One of the many benefits to living in CA

>>6172885
what the fuck

>>6172792
Your right other than calling it mexican.

>>6172638
basically this. /thread

>>6172049
Wish mine would.

>>6172899
thus the quotation marks.

>look at me I HATE chipotle it's the WORST thing I've ever had in my life even taco bell makes a better burrito

When will this meme die?

>>6172381
This article is retarded.
Did they expect Sofritos and Guac for free?
It's just another option for vegetarians.

>>6172988
I work there, I don't mind the food but the way they treat workers is like slavery.

>>6172381

So she's surprised that tofu tastes like nothing?

>>6172049
so a chipotle recently opened here and it literally tastes like ass. it's pretty expensive too. maybe because its in canada or something.


>not going to based Burrito Boyz instead.

>>6172049
Literally top thread and second thread when I opened /ck/ were vegan thread then Chipotle shill thread. FML

>>6172251
Arturo's and then the other one that used to be a Burger King years ago, across the street from Cookout (which is also new to the area).

Get barbacoa, OP. It's objectively the best meat

>>6173391
I feel like I'm the only one person whoever gets barbacoa. Feels bad.

>>6172264
Mfw

>>6172049
It's not that great. I honestly prefer Taco Delmar.

It pisses me off to no end that you use spanish words for these things when they don't even mean shit. Salsa is just sauce. Sofritas is not even a word, it sounds like sofrito which is a sauce base. And it was not mentioned here, but carne adobada just means marinated meat, for fucks sake.

Also, stop it with the fast food threads, this isn't food worthy of discussion.

>>6173543
I cut myself on this post.

>>6172095
What about an actual burrito

>>6172281

I prefer qdoba also.

get the burrito bowl and ask for more of the ingredients you want. You will get way more than they fit in a burrito and you get chips included.

>>6173732
The paper bowls taste better than Chipotle's dry-ass dough.

>>6173543
>caked
>cater
>skim milk
>baseless

>>6172264
Maybe that local business should have done better or serve better food.
You know it's assholes like you that complain about chain restaurants But never actually go to them and bitch that they went under.
I'm not the biggest fan of chiplote but there are worse places.
Before you cry "muh authentic " most food in America is usually a take on something. So sit in your stupid corner

>>6172381
>cohn
!/pol/ was right!

>>6173852

When you die of cancer, I'll say you should have eaten healthier. It'll make about as much sense as what you just said.

I got a free glob of guacamole tonight. Life is good.

>>6173890
When you learn to read... I can't remember the rest but kill yourself

Awww, baby gonna cry?

Ohhh nigger gonna nig! :^)

>live in northern il
>agricultural town, farms, packing plants, all that shit

does your small town just subsist on tourism or something? mexicans flock to small towns around here because of all the ag work

>>6173964
>live in rochester, ny
>population of at least 200,000

Enjoy your 2 dollar guacamole scoop.
Kiss my ass Chipotle.

>>6172889

>>6172078
>College has Chipolte, Qdoba, Moe's (yes I count it), Wicked Taco, and a small Mexican joint
>haven't even been to Wicked Taco and would still rank it above Shitpolte.

>>6172885
tried a "california" burrito at a so-so mexican in chicago
they stuffed rice in it and this tomato-based sauce, cilantro, beans and meat
i really liked it

Yum.

>>6172885
California expat here living in D.C. I really miss California burritos and quality Mexican food.

>>6172988
This

fine, Chipotle isnt authentic, particularly good, or healthy. but its "fast-food," serving shit at 10 dollars a plate, what did you expect?

but because basic white people go crazy over the chain, it somehow became cool for "le gourmet elite" to hate on it because you need some sort of validation

this meme is as forced as that sriracha crap

>taco mayo in town goes out of business
>replaced by a fucking subway of all things
literally why.
ten dollar loaves of bread and it's not even good bread.

>>6175619
mediocrity and white people

>>6175616
>"le gourmet elite" to hate on it
>"le gourmet elit" to hate it
Pick one anon

Steak burrito
Black beans
White rice
Pico
Red hot
Lettuce
Cheese

Have them mix it up and grab a bottle of green Tabasco

>>6175663
>green Tabasco
if you're a pussy bitch!

>Live in mostly Hispanic neighborhood
>Tons of Mexicans cheap ass taco and burrito places within spitting distance
>Chipotle has the gall to open around here

I, for one, don't think it will last long

>>6176022
Chipotle is literally better value and flavor than your average family Mexican restaurant, though.

95cents for a tiny taco with a dab of unspiced meat and generic tasting salsa? No thanks

>>6176022
How fast are teh >muy autentico tacos de lengua le hole in the wall maymay places?

I go to chipotle because I know exactly how long it will take the robots to assemble my food, not because it's the best choice around. If I wanted a leisurely treat, there are about a thousand other alternatives.

>>6176029
>Chipotle steak burrito is close to 7 dollars
>Mexican place is 4
>Chipotle is mostly rice
>Mexican place is just meat

>95cents for a tiny taco with a dab of unspiced meat and generic tasting salsa?
Taco Bell is not authentic Mexican food

>>6172155
I work at qdoba, we smush up our avocados daily. I'm not sure where you got the green powder thing from, that's pretty wild.

>>6172281
Yes qdoba is overpriced, I would literally never go there if I didn't get a discount.

>>6173737
This is correct. Also if you order bowls there's no chance of a newbie fucking up on the wrapping.

wtf is a qdoba?

>>6176191
It's almost exactly the same as Chipotle.

>>6176196
Same company?

Like Hardee's/Carls Jr.?

>>6176202
Nope, just some other company doing the same thing - not sure which came first. Also, Qdoba is owned by Jack in the Box, or the same people who own Jack in the Box.

Much better establishment.

>>6175580
>1015+1005-5 and not eating Mexican food from nevada.

>>6176222
IIRC they were both founded in Denver within 3 years of each other. Pretty sure Chipotle came first, but I'm a much bigger fan of Qdoba. That might have to do with the fact that my smaller town has a Qdoba and not a Chipotle, but the prices are a bit lower, and the food quality is comparable.

>>6172049
New Been North Carolina?

They are putting the finishing touches on a new Chipotle here, right alongside a brand-new Panera Bread too, which I will never be going to.

The Chipotle they said would be open by tomorrow but it looks doubtful when there is still a crew there painting the building and hanging scaffolding and shit as we speak.

At least now I don't have to drive two hours to Raleigh to get a burrito bowl though, so I'm excited.

>>6178482
Fuck, I meant New Bern.

>>6172049
It's not that great, it's for people who've never had real mexican food.

>>6178716
>>6172091 here

What mexican food have you had that reminds you so much of chipotle? You probably don't even have a passport

>>6178716
>"real" Mexican food.
Kek

>sofritas bargain today

This thread made me find this, thanks
