I love the McRib, I wish I could find a way I could buy a similar product or find a decent chopped pork patty that I can add McD's Nugget BBQ sauce with sliced onions and pickle chips.

Being in South Florida, I can drive 40+ miles to Homestead and get authentic Mexican food from places opened to serve all the migrant workers that work the farms down there.

When it comes to Chipotle, I usually just get 3 Crispy tacos with steak (you can ask for it off the grill, but there may be a wait), easy lettuce, mild pico de gallo, and lots of shredded cheese, with a side of chips and guac.

this - in the sense that I wouldnt eat at chipotle myself. Yet Ive gone because my son loves it. He eats normal burritos and quesadillas and hes a wannabe athlete so he definitely is mindful of healthy dining. So chipotle works for him because of how he customizes the bowl. Ive gone to fetch it for him while mentally shaking my head. They do have a great online order system.

Given what you routinely admit to ingesting on a regular basis, I think this comment quite precious. As you yourself might say, "Bless your heart."

Here is my healthy salad from Chipotle today: Greens (Romaine, baby kale, and baby spinach), chicken al pastor, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, pinto beans, corn salsa and cheese with a little chipotle honey vinaigrette and guac.




And, it was delicious!

If I wanted healthier eating, then CMG makes sense as I already stated that my son eats it for his goals for a healthy athletic diet. Bless your heart yourself with this healthier meal.

I am pissed off at Torchys for changing their kids menu this week and making everything a combo. Now, if I want a grilled chicken and cheese taco, I have to pay full price, which is absurd as I can eat at a full-service restaurant for the same price and get more food. Perhaps, Ill start adding Chipotle to my rotation as I generally have liked their quesadillas and accoutrements.

The Chipotle quesadilla is my preferred item which can only be ordered through the app.

By the 2018 end of my 8⅔-year residence in Dublin, CA, I was blessed to have two convenient Chipotle locations to choose from. 🥑 🎶 🤠

I often visited the one in walking distance from the end of the BART line, near Whole Foods.

Data point of one, but the guy in front of me the other week ordered a quesadilla without using the app.

My son had a weekend event in Philly and upon catching him at sfo, he wanted chipotle.

on a separate note, hes been to chipotle later in the evening only to find out that they ran out of food ingredients except for DoorDash orders. So hes sat in a chipotle and ordered with DoorDash for DoorDash pickup. Whacky. I reminder one business friend that kept a big portion of inventory for Walmart so that theyd never run short for Walmart orders.

My sons lacrosse practice was an insane 6:30-8p in the bloody dark (the field is lit), and he had to waymo home because my wife is at movie club. He wanted chipotle so I ordered it on dash pass (csr benefit). He wanted the chicken Al pastor and the double chicken option. Not cheap - but of course any taqueria would charge for double chicken.

now hes home and we are awaiting his dasher.

Anybody have a way to know if a particular Chipotle is good or not? I've noticed the consistency has started to vary wildly when I travel. Google reviews haven't been very helpful.

Have you tried asking their support bot?

It's being used to do computer science homework problems so I would hope it can answer questions about their food!
