Good to know :)They aren't. But we were just being informed diners by looking at the calories of our occasional take out meals....Used to? :confused: I like them for lunch sometimes....maybe have them twice a month.

Re: my comment that I "used to love Rubio's fish tacos" -- I wasn't making an editorial comment on the quality of the food there, LOL. It's just that I used to live in California but unfortunately there are no Rubio's where I live now!

Never had Rubio's, but IMO, Chipotle > > > > Baja Fresh. However, as others have noted, the calorie count of Chipotle's products leaves something to be desired. I had no idea until about a year after I started eating Chipotle that a Cinnabon had less calories!!! :eek: I pretty much stopped eating there after that. :p

A Chipotle burrito is like eating a baby...its HUGE! however it is very delicious, and better than Baja and Qdoba ^^^

I like the burrito bowl at Chipotle. I like to be able to stir everything up together (and then cover it in HOT sauce). :)

LOL, Chipotle isn't real but Baja is? Hahahahahahaah!

Chipotle is good stuff but for the calories in the amount of burrito(s) it takes to fill me up I must resist the temptation.

Going to Chipotle in California is like going to Pizza Hut in Napoli.

It may take a few before you hit your home run but when you do you'll never understand why you went to a chain in the first place.

Chipotle is amazing. Best fast food place on the market. Second only to In n out.

The typical burrito I get goes out at a whopping 1183 calories and that's not including the cup and a half of soda that I get with it, or the extra sour cream I ask for, or the extra rice. So more like 1700 calories for the whole thing. But it doesn't matter, it's probably the best food for the money I can get as a poor college student (without resorting to McDonalds :( )

Chipotle is nothing authentic, but it is absolutely delicious. The burrito I get is worse than all of yours. Once I found out how bad it was I totally stopped going, except for the occasional craving breakdown!

My burrito comes in at 1200 calories, 52g of fat, 20g of saturated fat, and 2900mg sodium :eek:! That's not counting chips (if i get on the side)

Brilliantly stated!

Add Texas to that!

I think I'll go to Chipotle for dinner tonight. You can only tolerate so much dining hall food.
