Re: Another Chipotle Thread

So I went to NYC this past weekend and tried Chipotle for the first time. I have been so excited to try this place based on the countless threads here on 2p2 making it sound like they had so many different options and how awesome it was. And then it turns out Chipotle is a burrito place like any other, that just so happens to be a chain. They don't have many differnt options at all, really. I got a Barbacoa burrito with black beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, and mild and medium salsas. Don't get me wrong - it was most definitely a good burrito - but no better than the new Boloco chain around here, and still certainly not as good as Anna's. I will give them the highest possible guacamole rating though - that was freakin delicious with tortilla chips and a little green Tabasco...

I'm not sure where you're from, but I think part of the Chipotle appeal in major metropolitan areas is that a lot of the meat is organic - no hormones or anything. The pork is all truly free-range, from Neiman Ranch. It's also fast, and there are tons of them, so very convenient.
EDIT: But, like you, I think I'd be underwhelmed after reading so much hype on this message board. It's a good lunch spot, but it's not amazing or anything. For fast food, it's good.
