I've been avoiding eating at Vaughan Mills mall because there's so much good food just outside the mall. I've had Chipotle before in the US maybe 2-3 times but don't recall anything special about it. Apparently they're all about ingredients with integrity, which means sourcing non-GMO ingredients, responsibly raised meats, etc. I can totally buy into that.
The line was pretty long on a Sunday evening. There was definitely a bottleneck at the cashier because my order had moved down the line quickly and I couldn't hear what they were asking me. I ordered the beef barbacoa bowl with white rice, corn, black beans, lettuce, cheese, and mild sauce. Everything tasted really good. The barbacoa was soft and flavorful, as good as the best barbacoa I've tasted so far. The cilantro-infused white rice was also soft and flavorful. All of the ingredients were definitely fresh. My bowl was completely empty at the end.
I can definitely see the appeal of Chipotle now.
