Chiploplo, Chipoodle, Chipotopolay
Looking for a pre-show meal, we saw the nearby choices of A)McDonald's, B)Panda Express or C)Chipotle. Considering I don't like McDonald's, Panda Express is on my usual restaurant rotation & I haven't had Chipotle in a few years, the time was ripe to give Chipotle another go.
My choice - the barbacoa bowl.
My 2 cents - It was..........how do I put this? Boring. Boring like the scene in "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" where Ben Stein is going "Anyone..........? Anyone.........? Beuller........?Beuller.........?" Boring like having a CSPAN viewing party on Valentine's Day. Nothing says "sexytime" than Senate hearings in HD;p
Now, it wasn't bad, per se. It's just, as I get older, I want my tastebuds to be titillated! (I just said "titillated" *giggle*) The portions were good. The price was reasonable. Also, kudos to the staff for efficiently moving the big Las Vegas line along. Wait was minimal. To me, I'd rather go to a local taqueria for some authentic and cheap fare, w/o the line of hipsters, Beliebers and Twi-hards.
Chipotle is situated in a primo location to lure in the tourists. The restaurant was clean and the staff knows how to handle the crowds coming in for sustenance, like me.
Chipotle has it's fans, and more power to them for liking what they like. I may return if I'm walking by, the next time I'm in Vegas. It's convenient and the prices are reasonable, considering the dining options in the casinos.
