| - This is a direct competitor to Chipotle. Set up in pretty much the same way. I had lunch here today and thought it was OK. I can't say that it's better than Chipotle because they have ground beef and Chipotle doesn't. Like other reviewers. I think that's funny. I wanted to order what I thought is pretty much the same thing I get at Chipotle for comparison sake.
I had to wait in line and there are 2 boards to look at while waiting. Then, the line takes a turn where they make up the food to the right at an angle. And the boards above it can't be seen from the line. I was pretty annoyed I couldn't read the majority of the menu while I waited.
I ordered a chicken bowl with lettuce, tomato, fajita veggies, squash and zucchini, tomato, corn, green salsa, and the mild finishing sauce. The fajita veggies and the squash and zucchini were all raw. I prefer these items to be cooked. The lettuce, tomato, and corn either came out of a bag or was made a day or two ago as they didn't seem fresh. I liked the chicken. It was cooked tender with good seasoning. I like that they offer a finishing sauce. It was just way too sweet.
The line had 4 people working it and 1 cashier at the end. With 5 people working the line total you would expect it to be pretty quick. By comparison to a Chipotle it was very slow. The bottleneck was the cashier. It took her too long to ring out everyone that 4 people behind her was processing.
The food itself tasted good, not great. This place didn't make me want to give up Chipotle any time soon. But I'll try it a couple more times and update my review if it warrants an update.
I give this place a 3.5 out of 5. When I think if its closer to a 4 or a 3 I'd say its closer to a 3 on the scale so that's what I'm giving them.
