chipotle
have you guys been?
what do you get?
i personally like to get a chicken burrito with pinto beans, hot salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.
i've also tried the steak, and various salsas, but the chicken is so money, baby.
mmmmmm. Shocking that a place so good could be owned by the McDonald's corporation.
Note: Baja Fresh, that works, too. However, their actual burritos are inferior to Chipotle's. It might be made up for in the plethora of free sauces that they offer, something that Chipotle is decidedly cheap on, i mean, $1.25 for guacamolé?
Also, any local burrito joint that offers a burrito the size of a deflated football (like the now-superceded Burrito Brothers here in DC) works for discussion. Perhaps I should have called the thread 'The fine art of the Burrito"?
Discuss.

I eat there 2 times a week. They are all over my town now (KC)! Like 10 locations!
FYI: McDonalds owns about 50% of their stock! Ain't that a kicker?
I get the same thing EVERY TIME:
Fat-@ss chicken burrito
black beans
3 sauces: corn, tomato and hot.
cheese, no sour cream.
I think their hot sauce is damn good!
All the girls at my local Chipotle's are cute, too!
Baja Fresh ain't that good. More sauces? True. Fish? True. But over all, Chipotle owns Baja Fresh. Cooler environment, too (I hate those 80's b/w checker tiles)
I usually just got the beef or steak. I like how the steak is sort of chewy.
As for Chipotle peppers, I like em.

it's genius.
you pick what kind of thing you want, burrito, fajita burrito (instead of beans, you get peppers and onions), burrito bowl (burrito minus the tortilla) or soft/hard tacos. then the meat, which is either grilled chicken, grilled steak, spicy pork (haven't tried), spicy beef (haven't tried) or vegetarian (haven't tried)...
then you tell them what kind of beans (black or pinto, i prefer pinto)
then you tell them what kind of salsa, they have like 4 different types, the hot is pretty darn hot, but good.
then, cheese + sour cream, lettuce, and guacamole. you pay extra for guacamole.
then they wrap the sucker up in foil, so the heat melts the cheese. genius.
you pay, get a drink, and go to town. mmmm, burrito bliss®.
Can't wait!

Shame on you.
i was standing in line and they were out of chicken. they were cooking up more and i said i'd be happy to wait. i have to wait maybe three min., the chicken is ready and they make my burrito.
the guy gives me a free burrito for my wait!
i wasn't expecting that at all. it only makes me want to go there more often though.

Nothing like above and beyond service! That happens to me at Starbucks all the time when I order their regular "Traditional" drip coffee and they have to brew up a new batch. One good looking girl in particular always seems to be the one giving me free coffee. I might have to take her out some time

I remember going to The California Tortilla in high school (aka C.T.). Cordell Ave, Bethesda. Since then they have expanded. I don't know how it compares with anything else in the market, but I like the fact that they stock some serious hot sauces.
Hey! I go to lunch there some times. Mmmmm, high school girls. I work at NIH, so we walk down there on occasion, especially when the weather's nice.
Speaking of womenly wiles, I got coaxed out to a sunrise service today. (Jonathan: insert comment here) Ugg. Tired. . . . but you know you'd go to if a girl who looks like Kirsten Dunst hit with a reverse-ugly-stick made it plain that she really wanted you to go with her.

I'm not positive what you're refering to, but I'll point out rule 1 anyway.
Rule 1) Any girl that invites you to church isn't going to be doing anything nasty. Even if she's really good looking.
If you're refering to me being nasty to fellowship, I never intended that to be the case. All i meant is that he may be very moral, but he's still a man. Now I look like an idiot spelling this stuff out. Damn language barrier. When are you Europeans going to learn American?
Even if she's really good looking?

Nasty. dude. Reverse-Ugly-Stick. . . . There's a cultural term that's known as an "ugly-stick." Usage example: "She was hit with an ugly stick at birth." A reverse ugly stick would logically make you better looking. So I was saying that she's better looking than Kirsten Dunst. I don't know about your standards, but that's not too bad if you ask me.
As I said: Now I look like an idiot spelling this stuff out. Damn language barrier. When are you Europeans going to learn American?
and, btw, I had to think about that 'reverse-ugly-stick' for a moment, but I got it.
sorry for the confusion, mr. usa.
Any girl that invites you to church isn't going to be doing anything nasty.
that is totally not true. you just have to work a little harder for it.
It's not bad. They load 'em up with too much rice (read: cheap filler) and the tortillas are on the rubbery side, but at least that way they don't fall apart on you.
