| - This new Chipotle is located in the parking lot in front of Fortinos at Major Mackenzie/Jane St area.
Brand spanking new, one of the feature walls hasn't been finished yet...so it's still a work in progress (at least I hope they don't think that stained plywood with cutouts for speakers is acceptable).
If you've ever been to a Chipotle in the U.S. of A, you know what to expect...if you're a Chiptle virgin, this is the scoop:
You walk up to the counter...select either a burrito, a bowl or salad, pick your meat, pick your toppings..then head to the cashier to pay. Pretty straight forward. What sets it apart are the meat seasonings and choice of cilantro-lime rice (either brown or white), pinto or black beans, corn salsa, etc.
The meat (I've done the chicken, steak, pork...in the US) is seasoned perfectly...it's really flavourful and is the main ingredient, so being tasty helps. The cheese has got a rich rich flavour (not like some places that have "mystery bland cheese") and the other ingredients are fresh.
For this visit I ordered a chicken burrito, white cilantro-lime rice, pinto beans, cheese, mild and hot salsa (the mild is chunky, the hot is a sauce) and lettuce. The burrito was stuffed to the limit and oh-so good.
My dining companion ordered the same, but with brown rice.
We both could not finish or lunch (that rarely happens...I think maybe every 4 years like the Olympics).
2 burritos, 1 water came to just over $21.
They also have a kids menu, nacho chips (with either guacamole or salsa) and quesadilla. The menu is not huge..just the good old basics.
Can't wait to go back.....
