Chipotle is worst yuppie hangout ever

[Mupepe]

oh my god, i went to chipotle for lunch with 3 coworkers.

thank god there was someone else there that was hispanic that could complain with me.  Let's start...

-white rice in a burrito. WHAT THE FUCK
-the salsa is lol worthy
-no refried beans?  what the fuck?
-80% rice, 10% meat, 10% other shit.  what the fuck?
-cilantro in white rice!  who thought this was a good idea???
-stupid white hipsters who think they're cultured because they're eating a "fresh" burrito

i hate that place.  i haven't been to one in like 2 years and thought maybe I was just harsh.  but that place is horrible.

and the stupid kid from work "oh man this salsa is too hot for me".  the girl and i were just like "no.  what the fuck is wrong with you?"

oh and the worst part...

6 fucking dollars for something that shouldn't cost more than 3!!!!!!

[hyp]

i feel you man.  fuck that place.  the food has gotten worse over the years. 

[Eric P]

yes and it's bad for you

i went there on saturday because  i was starving and it was the closest quickest thing to me

but normally, i avoid like the plague

[Rman]

I actually like Chipotle.  But, yeah, it's full of yuppies.  Especially since Chipotle sends that eco, organic foods message.  Have you ever read what's on the paper cups?  Talk about pretentious.  The best Mexican food in NYC is in Queens, which is off some ways from where I live and work.  That's some authentic stuff in Queens.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

thank christ

I live in socal so it's not like there's any shortage of good mexiplaces

and I still have coworkers who SWEAR by chipotle

wtf

[Tauntaun]

I've heard of Chipotle but I don't think I've ever eaten at one. Sounds like I'm not missing out.  MMMmmm, cheese enchiladas.

[hyp]

same here in norcal.  SMH @ my coworkers.

In Manhattan, where I work, there is no good Mexican places at all.  Socal and Texas craps all over "Mexican" food in NYC.  Again, Queens is the exception.

tell me about it!  I live in Houston.  SW Houston.  There are 10 taquerias within a 2 mile radius but they all love that fucking place.  smh

yeah, i hate that shit.  and i hate having a taste argument with yuppies about it because then they bring up the stupid organic shit and act like they're saving the world by eating an overpriced shitty burrito.

[Robo]

I go there occasionally with some of my co-workers.  We get the ultra hook-up because I am so sexy (or because the employees are friends with my co-workers, but I doubt that's the reason), which amounts to about double the normal quantity of food.  I don't think it's that bad either, but I'm white and hate spicy food, so what do I know?

[hyp]

aren't there a lot of Ricans in NY?   does their food taste anything like Mexican food?

[Mupepe]

Chipotle can lick my chode

[Rman]

There are a lot of Ricans.  There food is quite different actually.  Rice, corn,  and legumes are major staples in both cuisines, but  other ingredients and cooking techniques vary considerably.

I had my first whataburger in 18 months 2 weeks ago.

Sorry I missed you in Houston, but I ended up not renting a car so I was 100% dependent on other people for transportation to/from Galveston.

[Phoenix Dark]

 

white rice in a BURRITO? what what what

[Rman]

Whataburger

Too bad we don't have any chains in the Northeast.

[hyp]

white rice in a BURRITO? what what what

the cilantro is what makes it mexican. 

smh @ chipotle

[y2kev]

yeah the white rice + cilantro is really bizarre

but it tastes okay. :\

[hyp]

i think there's some lime added too, which helps it out a bit.

but spanish rice...

[Rman]

Did you guys ever read about the guy who started Chipotle, Steve Ells?  He's a CIA trained chef, whose worked in some of the best restaurants in the country.  He has mentioned that Chipotle is a loose interpretation of Mexican food, that's why you see rice in burritos, cilantro-lime rice, and all the other non-authentic stuff.  It was also founded in Denver, Colorado if that means anything.

Really? So was Qdobo, I think.

[demi]

i had it once in Chicago, they fed me an ostrich egg filled with rice instead of a burrito

[Eric P]

what the?

i want to be a cia trained chef

edit: unless that means culinary institute of america

For some reason, it seems that nearly every big chain emerges from the same 3 medium sized cities: Denver, Atlanta, and Minneapolis. I think Quiznos came out of Denver as well.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Eric P, your new tag is the epigram for Wolfe's Pirate Freedom!

[Bloodwake]

Chipotle may suck, but Qdoba sucks MUCH MUCH MORE

[drew]

Their pulled pork is good, and you can take a bottle of my favorite hot sauce, green tabasco, back to your table.  Their hard tacos are really good too.  The only other quick taco option around here is taco bell and some new place called Del Taco that's suspect.  Don't be hatin'.

I think Mupepe is just being like how asians and japafags scoff at americanized chinese food even though it's awesome.  Which is understandable.

hl mencken is a great american

[Fragamemnon]

If I order a fucking burrito, it better be from a place with a name I can barely prounouce right and  there better be someone on the other end taking my order who has to keep from laughing from my terrible pronuciation when ordering said burrito.

Anything else isn't worth getting IMO. Glad there is a nice hispanic community here where I live to provide those places.

[Fragamemnon]

I thought it was Navy or SEALs, not CIA.

no no no, because i eat and love my taco bell.  but there are basics that chipotle totally misses.  it's really just some kind of hippie food joint instead of a mexican food joint imo.

speaking of which, this thread inspired me to go to my local burrito joint "el buen gusto."  ordered a SUPER BURRITO (spanish rice, refried beans, cheese, salsa, pollo asado, and guac).

i'm fucking FULLLLL.

Chipotle actually satisfies both of those conditions for me.

"i'll have the biff fagita."

"beef fajita?"

"yes!  or should i say sih?"

"si?"

[Robo]

 

That's pretty much on point.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I agree.

After hearing people practically have orgasms over how good Chipotle was, I made the drive to one.  I was shocked at how expensive it was and after getting the burrito, how much it sucked.  What can you expect from a company owned by McDonald's though?  My friends and I went there again and had some shit that they swore by was the best.  It sucked again.  Never stepped foot in one since.  If I want that shit, I can just go to Taco Bell and pay less for something that actually tastes halfway decent at less than half the price.

I'm a Quiznos cigarillo through and through though.

[tiesto]

We have a number of pretty good locally-owned Mexican restaurants here... in fact there's a sizable Mexican population nearby.. it's great that right near where I work, in a town called "Hicksville" no less, you can get amazing Mexican, Afghani, Pakistani and Indian (northern, southern, you name it... there's even an Indian-owned pizza place, lol) cuisine, and some so-so Thai cuisine.

[MrAngryFace]

haha white rice, wtf. That's worse than having to dodge sniper fire

[Candyflip]

What can you expect from a company owned by McDonald's though?

I don't think McDonald's has been involved with Chipotle for over a year. They just suck.

[Mupepe]

Taco Smell > Chipotle

Tell me, what the fuck is wrong with white rice?  I've never had a burrito without rice in it.

[Mupepe]

Nothing is wrong with white rice

nothing is wrong with rice in a burrito

there is something wrong with white rice and cilantro

there's shittons wrong with white rice and cilantro in a "mexican" burrito

[Bloodwake]

I like Quiznos, and I prefer Taco Bell.

NOTHING CAN TOP THE CHEESY GORDITA CRUNCH.

[Tauntaun]

^ I love the spicy chicken crunchwrap. 

[Mupepe]

Taco Bell 

bean burritos no onions

[Candyflip]

Taco Bell

I can't wrap my head around the fact that there are people who hate onions.

[Mupepe]

Mexico wept

hey now, at least they're not throwing white rice in it.  at least taco bell has enough sense to get the basics down, but i will never call it mexican food

onions are fucking gross

[Candyflip]

Garlic? Not on tacos, just in general.

[Candyflip]

^Omg yes.

[Mupepe]

Garlic? Not on tacos, just in general.

garlic is delicious sex

[etiolate]

I like chipotle, yum yum yum. It's not authentic, but it also doesn't look like poop in a taco.

[T234]

Chipotle sucks, I'd sooner have fuckin Olive Garden.

[Candyflip]

I still don't understand the hate for Olive Garden. Not authentic Italian in the slightest but fuck me sideways if it isn't tasty. Especially for how cheap it is.

[T234]

I'm not a real Italian, but fuck it, olive garden is terrible.

the soup salad and breadsticks is the bomb
