Boring burritos at Chipotle
I looked down and saw the pieces. Some of those pieces used to have my name on it... What was on the floor was my credibility and shards of my never-all-that-pristine man-card. See, I watched a little bit of Dancing with the Stars this week. Ok ok, more than a little bit. In fact so much that I'm now listening to this right now. And to think some dudes out there are like, "Aw, ain't no thang to watch Glee." Listen bitches, I grew up on soft rock AND I like Glee. Sing it Michael Bolton! But what I want to talk about today is Chipotle and their very average tasting burritos.
First off, I have to say that cilantro and lime are two things I generally enjoy. If you want to put it in rice, I really could care less. If your rice tastes just really random, that's probably the issue. There's not too much about a Chipotle burrito that's offensive. They steam the tortilla wrapper so it's nice and soft. They have OK tasting meat like steak and chicken. The rice is very average. And... it's just not all that. When they first opened in New York it was a big deal and they would have these free burrito offerings that had insane lines.
And the price is over $8 dollars after taxes, so it's really... average. I much prefer Dos Toros and their burritos. Even Qdoba. They have a chicken one with some sort of sauce that's kind of tasty. Overall, I have to say that Chipotle is no where near as enjoyable as say, nuggets from McDonalds.
(I invite you to follow me on Twitter so you can get more of my non-sense in another medium.)
@Nicholas,
Wow, I think my head just exploded. So pizza around the burrito? That's... INSANE! and awesome. I must try this but I wish a Qdoba was near too...
@JJR,
Gotta agree with you, good avocados make a burrito really great. I can't tell sometimes though, whether the guac is real. When I buy the fake shit from the grocery store, it's really evident. But inside of a burrito, it's all a jumbled mess to me.

You're in the area... so do me a favor. Walk on over to Koronet and order up a jumbo slice. Walk across the street to Chipotle and get a burrito of your choosing. Wrap the burrito inside of the slice. Thanks.
Signed,
Very sad to not be at Columbia

You know what I miss about California? Good avocados. And yet, even in CA, Chipotle has mushy reconstituted junk instead of real guacamole. Therefore, I don't go there.
