I haven't had a burrito in a very long time.
So I decided to end the dry spell by losing my Chipotle virginity.
I went the take-out route (since it's around the corner from my place) and ordered the chicken fajita (sauteed bell peppers and onions instead of beans; medium salsa; sour cream, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese).
Let me tell you something. This burrito was big. And it was baaad. And by "baaad", I mean AWESOME.
The chicken was flavourful, and all the toppings went well together, even though - when it was being prepared - it looked a big excessive.
I think this place MAY be better than Quesada or Burrito Boyz.
The only reasons I've deducted a star are:
(1) I didn't eat on the premises, and I think I should, to get the full experience.
(2) Why doesn't Chipotle have the option of getting a whole-wheat tortilla when ordering a burrito?
(3) Chipotle burritos only seem to come in one size: huge.
Unless you've got the metabolism of an athlete, *or* you really ARE **so** hungry that you'd eat a horse, this kind of meal is filling.
Yes, there are other options (tacos, burritos bowls, etc.). But if you're specifically craving a burrito and don't want to feel like you're training for a competitive eating contest, there should be a half-sized option.
- This is *kind of* an expensive burrito. But I think that can be explained by the fact this burrito was friggin' enormous.
Overall, this was a whale of a tasty burrito. So for now: Well played, Chipotle. Well. Played.
