| - Chipotle's third location in Toronto, just opened near Union Station, is noticably smaller than the other locations but still serves the same great tasting food.
I have been a huge fan of Chipotle since I was living in Denver a while ago, which is where it was originated. It was my weekly treat.
For such a large city as Toronto, I think there is a lack of burrito places and what we have is rather disappointing (Burrito Boys, Z Teca, etc.), and I think Chipotle is still the best.
My positive review of the Yonge & Dundas location also applies to this new location.
The decor is departure from the plywood, conduit pipe and corregated steel interiors of the other restaurants. It looks more modern, brighter and upscale. The only down side is that it doesn't pack enough seating.
The food is always good, the meats are humanely raised and hormone free and freshly grilled. The only change is that they now offer a brown rice option which a great plus if you are trying to avoid processed grains like white rice. My favorites are the grilled chicken and the stewed pulled pork.
I always get the hot salsa which has a decent amount of heat, and I also shake some of the great chipotle flavoured Tobasco sauce which the smokey flavour makes any food come to life. If I see a bottle of this in the supermarket I will be sure to get it -- it's that good.
When I was there recently they haven't got their credit card reader working yet and they are still waiting for their liquor license, but I'm sure they will have those fixed soon.
I eagerly waiting for a location to open on the West side of town.
