My partner said he went to Chipotle for lunch today. I asked if he had the queso. "No, it had a skin on it."

It's already been updated. It's better but it's not as good as other spots.

Your choice of meat, beans, cheese, chilies, and anything else you want warm/hot (hot lettuce is not my idea of a tasty meal, so I serve it on the side as you will see many sit-down Mexican restaurants do along with salsa, guac, and sour cream). For many people rice in the burrito is acceptable, but I am not used to the double carb hit of rice + tortilla.

ILuvParis

Of course, one could do the bowl and avoid the tortilla and the rice. I don't mind the lettuce, so I do the salad. I love that vinaigrette.

silverthief2

Correct. When I am at Chipotle/Qdoba/their near infinite carbon copies these days, I often order a bowl to use rice as the base. No real equivalent in Mexican cuisine, but damn good.

So it appears their Avocado Day didn't work out as planned, which kind of sucks since we were planning on getting four on-line orders of chips and guac. Once the servers were back up, they changed the wording so that you could only add it to your entree. Not discouraged, we decided to head over to our local Chipotle so that Miss Swede could try it (with her food allergies, it's difficult to accept things made on an assembly line due to potential cross-contamination). She got a sofritas burrito with rice, black beans--she also asked for lettuce and guac taken from unopened containers. As an added bonus, the cashier said the guac was free today due to the promotion, so Mrs. Swede also got some on her burrito bowl.

Bonus #2 : no food poisoning.

I received the guacamole text offer 3 hours after I had lunch. The Chipotle guacamole is nothing special. My wife dislikes the place because the food lacks spiciness.

ILuvParis

I like their guacamole because it doesn't taste like lime, so I know it's fresh.

Chipotle is going to introduce bacon and nachos to the menu soon.

I like bacon like the next person, but it only belongs in breakfast burritos. Diced pork belly, on the other hand, I could be on board with.

I'm surprised it took this long for them to put nachos on the menu. It's such a high-margin product. I figured it would've been introduced at the same time as the queso.

Is the new queso good? The first one sucked.

TGarza

The queso has not improved. I don't expect any improvements with a Taco Bell ex running Chipotle. A Taco Bell style late night munchies promotion for $2 tacos when purchasing a drink is being offered in my market.

dinanm3atl

Agreed. It's not the best quac out there but it's not doused in lime to keep it 'fresh'.


Bacon - Sure. Would love to add it! It's great all the time!

Nachos... the queso isn't great. So I am not sure exactly how it is. The newest queso is better but it's still a 4 or 5/10 if you just eat it with chips. In a burrito it's maybe a 6/10 just because an additional flavor. They really missed the mark. Should just buy queso from Moe's.


Mediocre.

It's better IMO. Not a huge improvement. How late is this location staying open? Is 2 dollar tacos with a drink a bad thing?

Where is this being used? The stores in South Florida still have the prep right behind the serving line and I have had no problem asking for the steak that was just cooked in front of me; juicy and flavorful.
