3. Mixing meats is not the suck. In fact, it's quite delicious to get the chicken/steak "hybrid" combo.

It's just a personal pet peeve of my taste buds, I think, and it ranges all the way from Chipotle to a $30/plate restaurant. In general, the meat is the dominant flavor and texture in the dish, and if you mix meats, they can clash or the dish can lack a focal point. Obviously, you need to make an exception for stew-type dishes like jambalaya, which are supposed to have different flavors and textures. FWIW, I can see mixing steak and chicken at Chipotle as being just fine, since they do have somewhat similar textures, but mixing say steak and carnitas would be an utter disaster.

Not nearly enough barbacoa love going on in this thread.

I always get pinto with chicken and black with steak, is this weird?

Chipotle's quality has dropped off substantially in the past six months, so don't worry about it.

A year ago I was the biggest Chipotle fan in the world. Now it's just another burrito place. I'll take Panda Express or In-N-Out.

Anyone want to franchise out a Chipotle? Irvine, CA seriously needs one. There's all these damn businesses here, but there's not one in Irvine. The nearest one is about a 5 mile drive away. Considering there are like 4 Baja Freshes closer than that to me, it's too damn far away.

Has anyone here weighed out the difference in food between a burrito bowl and a burrito with the same ingredients? I estimate that they give me 15-20% more food when I order the bowl.

QFT. I used to work off Michelson and MacArthur, no Chipotle anywhere. Office moved to Costa Mesa and there is one just a few mins away.

I always go Carnitas, rice, black beans, corn salsa, cheese & sour cream.

[El Diablo]

OP,

Does pinto beans mean refried beans or pinto beans cooked in the way black beans are?

yea, wtf? first of all, Chipotle certainly hasn't changed at all in the last year, as far as I can tell it's exactly the same. second of all, panda express is one step above dog food.
