Chipotle

[Outrun]

I first ate at this place when I lived in Illinois back in 2001. Back then it was, I think pretty new. It was pretty good from what I remember for a few years anyways.

I rarely go to this place. Usually 2 times per year tops. But over the past few years it seems like something has changed. Or maybe I've changed...

1. The steak used to be cooked to a - medium well to well done. It was never overly done, and was pretty good. Now it's cooked medium rare. If you like to chew it forever, I guess this is ok, but I don't care for it. But I get it anyways...like a dumbass.

2. The corn salsa is not even yellow anymore. It looks almost white? And it's spicier now. Basically it looks like shit. And the flavor of it is nothing special anymore.

3. The portions. I have never been one to give a fuck about portions as I don't want to stuff myself anyways, but it seems like they really cut the portions down. This is the least of my concerns, but I could see how that would be annoying to those who remember what it used to be like.

4. The guacamole. It seems saltier now and not that good.

5. The aftermath. I never used to feel like shit after eating there. But now it's every single fucking time. It's that feeling you get after eating at say, McDonalds. Where you don't feel bloated full, but just that sinking feeling that you get when you realize you shouldn't have eaten there because you feel like shit. I'm not talking about having liquid ass or immediate bowel evacuation, just a feeling that you ate a bunch of garbage.

Anyone else notice Chipotle's quality lacking or is it just me?

Never liked it. If I want mexican food I go to taco taxi.

I did notice the corn salsa turned shitty, and I never get the steak because of how it's cooked now.

No Taco Oasis, no care.

Fucking filth.

taqueria los ocampo, end thread. I've been there twice now and I've been very impressed with the quality of fresh veggies and flavors. Not your typical greasy Mexican food

I still think it's pretty good, but it comes down to the staff every time. Sometimes it blows, sometimes it's good.

Almost any taqueria > Chipotle, toxic hell, taco juans, zantigo. You know you go to the right place if they have tripe, cabeza, or menudo on the menu

Eat at Qdoba - problem solved. Tastes way better, and you don't feel like shit after like after eating Chipotle.

Never had Chipotle, probably never will.

Ever been afraid to fart? If not, go try it out.

Depends on which chipotle you go to. I agree with the quality at some chipotles is fucking garbage, but the wife and I will hit up the same one that consistently makes the same tasty burritos. I've had some nasty ass guacamole at some chipotles.

Some corn is white, but all corn is gross. Go with the tomatillo red chili salsa combined with the fresh tomato salsa. But I do agree that the guacamole has gotten way saltier, sometimes eating it feels the same as putting your tongue on a 9V battery.

I've never thought it was anything special or all that great. There are people I work with that eat there 3 times a week, my god I don't know how they do it. Yes, they're fat. One guy is on some stupid diet and one of his diet lunches once a week is, Chipotle. Oh, but I don't get the tortilla he says so it's all good.

Best Mexican in MN. And its fast food Mexican too. I used to eat at the Lake st one when I lived in Minneapolis. Place is as Mexican as it gets around here, if you dont speak Spanish, it can be hard to order, haha. Mexican janitor at work says the White Bear one is pretty awesome.

As for Chipotle, I love it, but I dont consider it "real" Mexican food, just an awesome burrito. Fat guy approved.
