Chipotle is the food of presidents and unicorns

How is it legal to make food this good? It’s like Cherubim and Seraphim hand-delivered food from heaven and sprinkled it with crack cocaine and cilantro. I just ate a bowl for lunch an hour ago and I still have an erection.

My usual: Burrito bowl with brown rice piled to the top of the bowl, a mountain of black beans, some peppers and onions, steak, a load of pico, green salsa, and guac if I’m feeling saucy. No dairy, no lettuce. I hate it when the restaurant only offers forks in the utensil bins because I find spoons much more accomodating for shoveling large amounts of this delightfulness into my mouth at a rapid pace.

I travel for work weekly, and have come to book hotels based on proximity to Chipotle, not the airport. There have been weeks where I’ve eaten 3, 4, 5, yes even 6 burrito bowls. True story.

And if anyone’s interested, I may even someday share with you the recipe for my own personal invention: The MegaBowl. It’s like Cherubim and Seraphim hand-delivered even more food from heaven and sprinkled it with even more crack cocaine and even more cilantro.
So enough about me and my love for Chipotle; tell me: How much do you love Chipotle? And what heavenly delights do you get on your burritos, bowls and tacos when you partake in this heavenly delightfulness?

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Everything at Chipotle is delicious, except the burrito.

As someone who eats a primal diet, Chipotle is one of the few fast food places I can go to. I get a salad (no dressing) with fajita veggies, either steak, barbacoa or carnitas, a mix of the fresh tomato and tomatillo salsa, and guacamole. Little bit of sour cream if I’m in the mood for dairy.

And the cilantro ruins the entire damned thing.

Qdoba is better. Queso and guac, please! I really like their naked burrito, which sounds like the same thing as a burrito bowl.

Chipotle, the smoked jalapeño chile, is divine. I, too, fell in love with it the first time I tried it.

Oh, you mean “Chipotle”, the chain restaurant? I’m not as familiar with it, but from the couple times I’ve tried it, I can say that it’s not bad at all. Hardly orgasmic, though.

ETA: I guess that makes it the stuff of some presidents and some unicorns. I’ll go with “Polk/McKinley/Truman” and “pink and fuzzy” – i.e., fair-to-middlin’.

Have you tried the gawdawful, heart-attack-in-a-bowl from KFC yet? Fried chicken pieces, mashed potatoes, corn, cheese and gravy. Easy to shovel.

Haters!

I don’t know that I could take 6 in a week, but I share the OP’s Chipotle love nonetheless.

Chicken burrito, brown rice, black beans, hot red sauce, sour cream, cheese – lots of cheese!, and a handful of lettuce for a bit of a crunch.

:: drool ::

Sounds positively vile. I’m not wont to shovel just anything in my mouth. Just the supremely awesome mixture of angel food sprinkled with cilantro and crack cocaine and constructed by college kids and Latinos at your neighborhood Chipotle.

I also thought this thread was about the smoked chile and when I got to the part about you eating an entire bowlful I was like, “wow, man.”

I guess I’m a hater too. Tried it twice and it sucked both times. I taste heat and I get meat texture, thats about it.

We’ve got a local place called La Parilla that’s the same style of burritos, but much, much better. I go there every couple of weeks, and get pretty much a full day’s worth of yummy food.

I didn’t know that KFC had that, but they have it at the school cafeteria here now, too. It’s one of the less exorbitantly priced lunch options.

Another hater here.

I used to go kind of a lot when they first opened. But there’s something about the spice mixture and texture that’s really off to me. It just dawned on me one day that I hate their food.

And people here seem to love Subway too. I don’t know how anyone can eat that vile crap.

I wonder if I’ve just been unlucky with those particular spots.

Love love love love Chipotle. Is it my “fast food” of choice and would eat there at least once a week if I could. On a recent work trip to Las Vegas, I stopped on the way up and had Chipotle for lunch in Barstow. The next day, on the way back, I stopped and had dinner at Chiptole in Barstow. YUM.

I always get:

Chicken bol no beans, double pico, tons of lettuce, side of guac and a little bit of the extra hot sauce on the side. It’s healthy, low cal and insanely delicious.

I tried to get my husband to work there for a week so we could figure out the mystery of the delicious chicken.

I like Chipotle the best out of the Modopotle Continuum - Moe’s nickels and dimes you all the time and you have to know the name of what you want as opposed to “Take a bowl and put some fucking beans and shit in it”, and I don’t like something about Qdoba. Can’t explain what.

However, Chipotle doesn’t have the new awesome Mega-Extra-Coke machine.

Genius!

I never had a problem with Chipotle for a quickie lunch in an airport. Qdoba, on the other hand, sucks balls.

The OPs lunch is 655 calories, which isn’t as bad as it could be. A little high on the sodium, however.
