I know y'all know how Chipotle works, but for the uninformed, you go down the line and pick your poisons of Mexican-ish fast casual tastiness. Burrito, bowl, tacos, or a salad. Choose your beans, rice, protein, salsas, and goodies like cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. I know, the guacamole is extra. You think I don't know that? But it's chunky heavens of avocado and is way better (and a larger portion size) than the free guac you can get at Qdoba.
During lunch time, the lines are always long (duh), but they make sure to get everyone through with their custom orders in no time. Everyone is friendly and they move you through the line quickly without making you feel like you're in their way (kind of). If you order online, you go down the hallway to the left of the register to pick up your food. Still fresh and waiting for you. Sorry line! I don't have time for you, no matter how quick I just said you were.
It's relatively cheap (I mean, you could make the same food at home for the same price point and provide food for four people, but really, am I going to go to that much trouble? Plus, the guacamole, yo!) and it is almost healthy (dare I stay away from the cheese and sour cream? Never never never).
On a side note, I tried the Sofritas based on a recommendation from a past coworker. It was, alright. It just tasted like taco meat. I'll stick to my main jam, the chicken. Or the carnitas. Or the steak. Or the barbacoa. Mmm Chipotle. I know it's not real Mexican. Duh. It's Chipotle. Deal with it.
