I stopped by here tonight on my way home and grabbed a couple of Burrito bowls. A chicken/steak burrito bowl for me - a vegetarian burrito bowl for my girlfriend.
The ingredients taste relatively fresh and healthy compared to other burrito options. Perhaps too fresh, I wonder - my GF just pointed out that the guacamole on the leftover half of her burrito bowl that she's saving for lunch tomorrow didn't turn brown, despite sitting for a while.
The portions are large and the food is quite tasty in general. I also like that the nutritional information is available in detail on their website.
There is plenty of seating at this location. This is an advantage compared to my other burrito favourites - all of which are holes in the wall with little to no seating.
On the other hand, the cost is higher compared to the alternatives. At $8.95 for a burrito bowl before tax, it's more expensive than similar establishments. Also, if you would like to add guacamole to your burrito it's $2.95 for anything other than the veggie burrito. This seems excessive to me. Does it really cost so much to produce?
Also, the person who asked me what ingredients I wanted had an accent so thick that I couldn't really understand what she was saying. I don't think it's a good idea to have someone who can't pronounce English words in the position that requires the most communication at Yonge and Dundas square.
I waver on my rating for Chipotle. Based on the food alone, it's a 3.5 to 4 star, but given that the price point is higher than the competitors, I'm rounding down.
