| - I get it. They're not Chipotle. . .
So I went to Chili Peppers after hearing so much hype about this place and I was so disappointed! I forgive the new guy for having to remake my "Grilled burrito" twice but the taste was truly unforgivable. To be honest this place has no business charging Chipotle prices. Immediately upon arrival and looking at the food behind the glass, the whole set up reminded me of a ghetto Chipotle. And they actually charged .50 cents more to have my burrito grilled . . . Okay, petty pricing.
The rice was so, so, and it look like brown rice. It didn't look appetizing at all. The onions were such a disappointment, I was very reluctant to try nearly caramelized burnt (grilled, whatever) onions on my burrito but I gave it a go anyway and the combination proved to be a disaster. Sweet Slippery onions on a burrito yuck! I also got the black beans, tomatoes and fresh jalapeño. I asked the guy making my burrito which jalapeño where hotter because I had a choice between pickled and fresh jalapeño. He told me the fresh were hotter, and they were not! I even asked for extra, extra, extra hot sauce. I didn't dare go for the guacamole because it looked like store bought green puréed blob, no distinctive ingredients just specks of red. The only thing that I did like about this place was the meat selections. Maybe they should focus more on the ingredients instead of multiple meat selections, which I'm sure is killing revenue. Also I didn't like how one of the female employees were talking to the new guy. She seemed to lack patience with him with her huffy demeanor as well as the way she had a snappy attitude with one of the other guys that actually knew what he was doing and he had to correct her. I think that there should be a certain kind of professionalism about the employees that work there especially in front of a customer. It was tacky to see that and it's actually bad customer service. Although she was nice to me, I felt like to talk to someone like that made feel like she's actually not a nice person at all. After tasting my burrito I realized that it was mushy and bland, bland, bland,bland, bland! Thank God I had a lemon at home because it needed it sooo bad. At the end of the day, I didn't see what the fuss was about, the food wasn't that great, service was okay, I really didn't like the treatment of the employees there and please get rid of those onions, sauté in butter don't caramelized them. I will not be going back ever! Not even for a quick Chipotle fix.
