Chipotle is NOT good. amirite?

I went there a lot in college and always enjoyed it. I then started working at restaurants and become a better cook and started preparing most of my meals at home. I tried it again a few months ago and couldn't even finish my bowl. The beans and rice were so salty and the whole meal left me with a terrible after taste. I'll never have it again.

It used to be really good. When Chipotle only had restaurants in Colorado it was a phenomenal place to get a damn good burrito. Not so much anymore.

I used to go to the OG restaurant near the DU campus. Chipotle used to be the bomb, but has sucked for at least 15 years now. I think McDonalds bought them and sold them later because they didn't know what to do with it.

The line of customers out the door at most locations says otherwise.

by Eliezer86 1 week ago

Just because there are a lot of customers, it doesn't imply that the quality is good. McDonald's has a lot of customers and I'm sure many people will agree the quality isn't great. There are other factors to fast food such as convenience which can factor into why it is popular, it is not quality of food alone.

I haven't been to a Chipotle with a line inside the store…let alone out the door….since 2018

They never had good food let's just clear that up right now. It was always cheap filler.

That was their gimmick. They gave you 30% more carbs to make the burrito appear bigger

I hated chipotle from the first try

by Advanced-Session3305 1 week ago

I tried it a couple of times hoping the previous was a fluke. But yea never amounted to anything more than a fancier Taco Bell burrito with a bunch of rice

Quality has gone way down, and the last time I went, it just felt extra, I dunno, wet. It was a turnoff.

Yes. If you aren't, you're doing it wrong.

Chipotle heavily salts their rice. If you're following a 2,000-2,500 mg sodium daily maximum diet the rice alone is already about 500 mg. I couldn't eat there at all anymore once I started my kidney stone diet.

It's very well documented how chipotle have decreased their quality and raised their prices on purpose.

by darerosalia 1 week ago

As others have said it use to be much better

This applies to all fast food restaurants and most normal restaurants. As a business, they all want more money, so their ingredients are the cheapest stuff they can find. You also can't personalize how the food is prepared. I liked the carne asade chipotle had, and now I've made some myself. I can add more lime to it than chipotle does if I feel like (I usually do), for example. I can home grill a burger that's better than every burger I've bought from a place in the past decade

Yeah chipotle is pretty bad now. The quality has gone downhill.

by PutridRazzmatazz7367 1 week ago

I've never had good tasting food from Chipotle. I tried it to see what all the fuss was about. It was just unseasoned and chewy.

by Sylviabins 1 week ago

It's also extremely overpriced. QDOBA is so much better and doesn't charge for guacamole.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

It's like $10 for a big ass burrito or bowl. A meal at Wendy's or McDonald's is pushing $13-$14

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Try $20 if you add guac at my location. $26 if you add double meat.

Keep defending chipotle charging almost $30 for a burrito LOL

Real Mexican food almost always requires I go in to order and sit down to eat. That's just a different dining experience. For fast "Mexican" food I can get at a drive through and eat while driving, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Freebirds, and a few other places are the options. Sometimes I want something fast with actual Chipotle peppers and Chipotle does the trick. No question the quality has gone downhill.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I live in San Diego so chipotle is never on the option list. Sometimes you don't want a drunken cali burrito though and just need a good ol crunch wrap supreme. But even if I'm in Kansas, I'm getting taco John's ground hamburger before I go to chipotle!

Me personally I don't think it matters if it's good. It's a healthier restaurant and has a solid macro breakdown as compared to other restaurants. I don't think it tastes as good either but at the end of the day it's good fuel

A salad with chicken, corn, black beans and kidney beans already has tasty seasoning so it doesn't need cheese, dressing or sour cream It's a tasty good deal for $10 and you can get extra corn and beans for free

by Roderick34 1 week ago

The one local to me always undercooks the rice so it's hard. After the second/third time I'm never getting it again. Ruins the whole bowl.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

As someone who used to eat chipotle everyday, my biggest problem is the inconsistency of the product. Sometimes the food hits, but other times it tastes stale like it's been left out for too long.

I only started eating Chipotle last year and I still like it and eat it too often but I can believe it being bad. Wish I could have had it in its heyday that everyone talks about :(

It's a fast food chain, it's meant to be acceptable and fast not be good. Surprised they don't have a drive thru.

by SpecialistStorage 1 week ago

Chipotle is very good and depending on your location quite consistent. If you don't order online apparently. That being said, I have a chipotle dupe barbacoa that I do in the sous vide that bring you back to life. You can certainly make Chipotle at home. But Chipotle is fast and good and, hear me on this, convenient which is ultimately the selling point
