I like my local Chipotle so that's where I think lunch will be tomorrow. :)

Before my transfer and promotion in Feb 2020, I used to eat at a Chipotle near my old store at least once a week. One of the staff was a former supervisor of mine at MIA for Supershuttle, and when she saw me entering the restaurant, she started to make my order before my turn as it was always the same. This was before I could order through the app. I think I have had Chipotle only once since then. There is a place near my current location called Waco Taco that has the same concept, and I find the quality to be much better, so I usually will have lunch there once a week if it is in the late afternoon.

Went back to the same location last night. Portions were pretty normal, and they were able to make a steak quesadilla without ordering it in the app. While they use the same size tortilla, it looked much smaller than the ones made at Qdoba.

Regardless, my double-wrapped sofritas burrito was tasty.

We needed a quick bite to eat after spending the morning at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. The Chipotle nearby hit the spot. They were generous with their portions in my burrito and the family's bowls; however, they did charge an extra quarter for the double-wrapped burrito.

My local Chipotle has a sign on the door. "This is to advise you that there are no quesadillas at this location." :(

I mean, they do have the tortillas and shredded cheese :p

Until Chipotle invests in a dedicated heated press for quesadillas (like Qdoba has), very few locations will want to make them.

We hooked you up with a summer treat 👀
 

These quotes from an email Chipotle just sent me seem to prove that people like me who sign up for Chipotle emails are idiots:

Reminds me of "convenience fees."

Anyone tried the brisket? As a lover of BBQ I am intrigued but kind of expecting a train wreck…

I had the plant-based chorizo the other day. I can't really say I tasted the chorizo except that there was some added spiciness to my burrito. Maybe I'll do a half sofritas/half chorizo going forward.

The brisket is reheated on the grill at a high heat which makes the brisket dry with a burnt taste but not like burnt ends. I would not buy again.

Had Chipotle twice recently. While on the go in Sarasota, FL, I tried the guajillo steak. It was very tasty, much better than the regular steak, but not sure if it's worth the higher cost compared to regular steak (and even higher cost compared to my usual sofritas).

Last night near home, I tried the chicken al pastor. I enjoyed the heat with a hint of sweetness that the regular chicken lacks. If they keep it on the regular menu, it would become my second choice if I don't feel like having sofritas.

That said, whenever given a choice, the kids will choose Qdoba over Chipotle 90% of the time.

I agree with your kids. I would choose Qdoba over Chipotle 90% of the time.

For a burrito, it's Chipotle 10 times out of 10.
For nachos or quesadilla, it's Qdoba 10 times out of 10. (pretty much because Chipotle doesn't even offer them)
For a burrito bowl, probably a toss-up. Slight lean towards Qdoba since they offer so many more ingredients.
