Chipotle is good, but has anyone had Freebirds?? I personally think it's a bit better. They are only located in a few states, but a definite must try if you like burritos or burrito bowls!

I Chipotle by going to the the little locally-owned place directly across the street.

Bowl, brown, black, chicken, veggies, cheese. Try to resist chips and fail.

I rarely get chipotle if I'm home in Houston since there are just so many other places to get burritos from. It's usually, i'm in some random place and don't have time to figure out somewhere better/more unique.

I like the bowl, black beans, carnitas, spicy salsa, lettuce, corn, cheese, and veggies.

Last time I went to Chipotle was a few months ago on a day where if you bought the new tofu burrito, bring your receipt back for a free burrito a week later. When I went around dinner time, they had run out of tofu but honored the deal anyway so I got two meat burritos for the price of 1.

A local chain named Uberrito (used to be called Mission Burrito, which was a way better name) is really solid. Way better than Chipotle/Freebirds and same price, maybe a bit less.

So THAT's why my Chipotle was empty today!
 

I walked into my regular Chipotle today.

Typically the line is pretty long and it takes me 10-15 minutes to get my salad.

Today there were like 4 people in the joint and I walked in and out in like 3 minutes.

I love me a good Chipotle panic!

I walked by the one in the Reston Town Center last night at 6:45 p.m. and ZERO people in Line; I've never ever seen that and I hit this place maybe once a week

I went yesterday to pick up lunch for Mrs. Swede and I. I walked straight up to order. Maybe a bit of luck because 10 people had lined up behind me by the time I was finished.

Haha, misinterpretation of "Washington" perhaps? :D

I haven't been to Chipotle in years. Now I have a craving. Thanks a lot, Obama . . . err, I mean, FT!

Ooh... I need me a good E. coli-induced-panic burrito bowl...

I stopped eating Chipotle when they jumped on the anti-science GMO-free bandwagon. So I was spared the E.coli.

I went Saturday evening in Durham and the line was only 3 people, this location is right next to Duke University and usually the line is two dozen long even at odd hours.

On another note: does anyone else like to do half meats? I do half chicken and half steak because you get more meat than you would if you asked for just steak and you only get charged for one meat, instead of extra like if you asked for double steak.

Side of chips

We went to Chipotle Saturday night. Normally the line would be out the door and around the building. There were 3 people ahead of us.

Still trying to figure why people in Pennsylvania are avoiding a place that has some trouble 3,000 miles away...

I don't get this either. FWIW, all the Central Florida locations I've visited seem to be pretty much normal. With locally sourced ingredients, once can be assured nothing from Oregon is going to make it down here. :D
