Bring on the Burrito!
OK foodies-if you love burritos this is a good place-but no refried beans here. The burrito is quite heavy after preparation as there are many options included in the prrice of this big boy. You decide what you want as you go through the assembly line-pinto or black beans tortilla or bowl-then they have chicken, carnitas,steak,veggies or barbacoa as the filling for your big burrito.
There are four salsa types from mild to hot and spicy then you can add the sour cream and cheese and lettuce extra for guac. Their guac looks lke it came from an avocado and tastes yummy too.
You will stand in line esp at lunch time this place is popular. I tried it for the first time many years ago in Colorado.
They have beer and juices avail and yes they have Coke!
They have great ambient music here and minimalist decor.
Dishes I tried:
Carnitas Burrito
The burrito makeover has happened. Now don’t get me wrong-I love the refried beans we get at the nomal Mex places but as we are all trying to be somewhat health conscious here is the burrito redone. The carnitas are very tasty on their own-savory spices throughout the meat. IT is always tender and juicy. The rest is just what makes Chipotle stand out. I love the lime rice 9not healthy) and all the additives in the burrito. We usually share and sometimes get a few tacos also.
