If you've done your research on me, you'll know that I've reviewed a Chipotle before. However hilarious that may be to you, I'll have you know that I've passed up on reviewing other Chipotles and other restaurants in the various states I've travelled to because none of those have exceeded or thoroughly humiliated my expectations. They were just plain what I expected. And that's good. You and I both know we won't review something that's three or four stars, but I digress...
My experience at the new-to-me Chipotle in South Lake Tahoe was literally miles ahead of my expectations from the moment I walked in. Picture this: it's 7:30 on a Monday night. We walk in, the space is clean and orderly, with tables carefully shut down due to COVID, and there they were...a smiling staff greeting my partner and I like we were the most important people on earth. If that isn't 5-star worthy already for y'all at home, just wait. My partner walked up ahead of me and ordered what she was after, and you know what? They made sure it was exactly what she was after. That's stellar.
Fast forward to me. Call me basic, call me gross for reviewing Chipotles, but I had an order that wasn't exactly on the menu. The nice gentleman at the counter wasn't exactly sure what I was after, but the gal working the grill walked up, told him what was up, and as they say "teamwork makes the dream work." Ladies and Gents and Xs, their team work made my dream work. The last time I had the balls to order what I ordered was about five years ago (I've been since, but I'm trying to paint a story here), and you know what? It was better than I remembered it. When the precisely polite young lady asked if it looked perfect, I bet you could guess my response. "That looks perfect!"
Long story long, I had a great time, I crushed a great Chipotle burrito, and you bet your bottom dollar I will be back!
