Over the 4th, Chipotle gave us this fool, Josh.

Denver and Los Angeles are the new test markets for Chioptle's new queso. Because of that, they have removed chorizo and soft corn taco tortillas from the menu. I was pretty bummed. I'm not much of a queso fan to start out with.

Sad to see Steve Ells getting forced out of his own company, but that's what happens when you answer to shareholders who think a tweet from a C-list celebrity will doom the whole company. I'm not totally sure how adding breakfast items and drive-thrus will increase their bottom line, but time will tell.
I had a hankering for one, so I visited my local Chipotle at 6:30pm tonight (prime dinner time). The place was practically empty. The burrito was delicious.
Another note: I don't know what it is about adding lettuce to a burrito, but it causes my burrito to tear quite easily in the rolling process or during consumption. That's when I discovered the secret menu hack of asking for two tortillas (a.k.a. double-wrap). Highly recommended.

And don't get me started on rice. Signed, a Mexican.

I had the misfortune to have their queso
That thing is nasty, could be used to remodel a bathroom
Haven't tried their new queso, but chances are it can't get any worse than that
And yes, real burritos don't have lettuce and don't to be double wrapped

Enlighten a non-Mexican, please. Why shouldn't you put lettuce in a burrito? What technically should go into a burrito? Just meat, cheese, and refried beans?

Tell me about it. I bit into a cold egg roll once. In Bangkok. The first thing I thought was “I am so #$&*ed”. And indeed I was. But to Chipotle. I love the food. And there is one pretty close to my office that was convenient for lunch. But for me, no more. They’ve had too many issues for me. And I’ve got a decent knowledge of statistics so I know that is an opinion probably not supported by the numbers. But it’s where I’m at and I don’t see it changing for me.

I thought about trying the queso the other day for the first time but it looked like it had been sitting out for a while so I decided against it. Sounds like I'm not missing much?
