Chipotle


            Lately there has been a lot of talk about Chipotle, as they have just opened up a new restaurant in Emory village.  Coming from Chicago, where there are Chipotle’s all over the place, it is nothing new for me.  I was shocked to hear so many students say that they had no Chipotle in their towns and had never tried it.  The purpose of this blog post is to encourage those who have never been to Chipotle to make the walk down Oxford Road and give it a try.

            Chipotle is quick, easy, filling, delicious, and relatively healthy.  It is great for college students looking for a change of pace from the DUC, but also for the working person on the go who isn’t looking for your typical McDonalds or Burger King.
            At Chipotle you can choose between a burrito, three tacos, a salad, or a “burrito bowl”-basically a burrito without the tortilla.  Then you choose the kind of meat you want and all of the other fixings-beans, rice, etc.

Most of the food is about $8.  If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, I would recommend getting a burrito with your choice of meat, having it double wrapped in two tortillas, which they do for free, getting both brown and black beans, rice, fajitas, cheese, sour cream, corn, more than one type of salsa, and lettuce.  This order is an incredible value, you are almost guaranteed to end up with leftovers in your fridge, and Chipotle leftovers are always good cold, a lot like pizza.  You will want to get the guacamole, but keep in mind that it is about two dollars extra.  If you are really hungry and craving the guacamole,  order it on the side, and order chips to go with it, the quac is very good.
