I rarely go to Chipotle. Too many calories! One typical burrito with wrap, chicken, rice, beans, tomato salsa, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole will be over 1100 calories. It would be ok if eaten in 2 sittings but for 1? Eeek.
If you couldn't tell... I really care about weight control. I have extensive knowledge in nutrition with a "specialty" in the glycemic index.
I monitor my calories very closely. I was over 300 lbs a few months ago. Thanks to calorie counter app I have lost 40 pounds so far. Fast food is ok in moderation but until I got that app I had no idea what I was eating. Looking back I was eating 3000-4000 calories a day.
BTW, I can barely finish a bowl in 1 sitting and I never get guac or beans. I have really cut back on my eating since May.
I love chipotle. The burritos are too big though, I get the vegetarian tacos and a water. The Chipotle website says 635 calories, not that bad.
Just make sure to get some Chipotle away!

Fair enough, but at least with Chipotle, they user local/organic suppliers, and strive to be a green/sustainable organization.
Chipotle is over priced, overrated and just flat out sucks. Their burritos are packed with tasteless fillers.
I'll take an authentic road-side Taqueria over chipolte any day of the week
Oh definitely. I like how they use fresh ingredients. They don't completely use local/organic suppliers since it's dependent on location. The one in Barstow, CA is miles and miles away from any farm. I do like the design of their establishments (modern industrial) and that you can really customize it to how you like.
I wish though they would have a whole wheat mini burrito or something.... perhaps geared for health nuts and children. I always laugh whenever I see a kid with one of the massive burritos in front of him.

Wondered why we hadn't seen these in the UK but the 1100 calories gave it away. lol
I like it. Same thing as Q-Doba but different name.
If they were next to each other I'd say eeny meeny miny mo.
Rubios > illegal Pete's > Chipotle > Qdoba.
Those are the ones in/around Denver. I just discovered rubios and they have been down the street this whole time lol. Illegal Pete's and Chipotle burritos are a toss up IMO but illegal Pete's offers other Mexican food choices and liquor/beer so it gets the nod. However Chipotle is readily available at every street corner here (it started here) so I still frequent it while out.
