― J0rdan S., Monday, 31 March 2008 19:39 (sixteen years ago) link
it's good but it's def not as great as people make it out to be
― J0rdan S., Monday, 31 March 2008 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah. Grading fast food has to be done on a steep curve.

that ordering app is pretty great (especially the prep line overhead view), but what's the point of online ordering if you have to call the place to confirm?
― I DIED, Monday, 31 March 2008 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I fuckin' love Chipotle, other than the burritos being a little too salty. Good lighting and tables for reading the paper.

No need for Chipotle in my neighborhood, there are a half-dozen great taquerias within 5 blocks.
― dan m, Monday, 31 March 2008 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link

it's not about NYC, but it is about Chipotle sucking

As you now know, Todd Barry is a big fan of Chipotle, and he’s not the only one that considers it one of New York’s “great restaurants.” The Tex-Mex chain is just one of five joints (along with Tia Pol, wd-50, Hearth, and the Spotted Pig) that Momofuku lists as “friends” on its Website, and in this magazine’s profile of David Chang, he makes clear that it influenced Ssäm Bar:
“I tried to get a job at Chipotle when I got back from Japan, but they wouldn’t hire me,” he says. “They knew what I was up to.” It’s easy to see the parallels between Ssäm Bar and the Tex-Mex monolith that’s invaded Manhattan. “A lot of this is premised on what Chipotle’s done: Make affordable, good food, and do it with integrity.”
We've noted that Bobby Flay is also possibly a fan of Chipotle (indeed Bret Thorn overheard him calling it "good food"). And we're sure Chang and Flay aren't the only ones. So when will Chipotle’s founder, Steve Ells, finally be nominated for a Beard Award?

They're all burritoerias. Also, tortaerias, tostadaerias... They have better hot sauce too.

I can imagine lots of vague and tiresome "not as good as this mom n' pop taco stand right by my 400 sqft apartment in upper west hipland" arguments against chipotle but "fucking nasty" was not something I expected. explain?
― El Tomboto, Monday, 31 March 2008 20:07 (sixteen years ago) link
it's not even better than other huge mexican subway chains like moe's or qdoba
― J0rdan S., Monday, 31 March 2008 20:08 (sixteen years ago) link
whoa whoa whoa there son it is approximately 400x better than qdoba
― El Tomboto, Monday, 31 March 2008 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link
it's certainly no worse, i was ultimately saying that both leave me full but usually unsatisfied
― J0rdan S., Monday, 31 March 2008 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link
yah dude moe's not even on chipotle's radar
and i don't even really like chipotle's
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 March 2008 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link
moe's > chipotle and i don't even think it's close
― J0rdan S., Monday, 31 March 2008 20:12 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm an og moe's stan and an ex-employee though, so grain of salt
the problem is the ingredients are so compartmentalized. i take one bite, all rice. another bite, all beans. another bite, all meat. might as well wrap each ingredient seperately

that's why i only eat the burrito bowls at chipotle
some coworkers took me there once and the line was super long and the food was whipped out in like 15 seconds and there was too much sour cream and flavorless salsa and it was just a lot of mass produced yuckiness. McD's owning it makes total sense. and yes I live in a latino neighborhood lovingly referred to by the locals as "upper west hipland" and heavily populated with roach coaches that are 9,000x tastier and better for you than this glop.

guys can we at least agree none of these various burrito establishments are all that good and that they tend to lead to other taco mistakes

Qdoba is like an MBA grad's idea of ripping off Chipotle in red-state areas, doing something with more familiar beige colors and Fleetwood Mac on the sound system instead of steel and Orchestra Baobab. They do have pesto, though, and mole, so that's a little something, but they're much more of a traditional, unimaginative fast-food joint. (And do any off the non-Chipotle places offer organically raised meats?)
McDonald's sold their share of it years ago.
I'm guessing the companies that distribute meat to the taquerias are no more appealing than Chipotle is as a company in the food industry.
