It's a lot of rice....and rice is cheap and not all that great for you really.

To me, if you're in the more affluent areas of OC, Chipotle is a good option to have. Same probably applies to the more remote areas of Riverside, affluent areas of SD.

However if you are in LA/Santa Ana/etc. where you have authentic Mexican food readily available (for example driving distance to work), then Chipotle is god damn expensive.

I for one, would almost never go to Chipotle if there were King Tacos and their like competitors around me. I know if I tell my LA friend I went to King Taco he'd be like wtf, that's stuff is overpriced!

When I go to Chipotle, I usually just get a veggie burrito with all veggies and black beans and guacamole. Then I ask for a couple of sides of salsa. It's pretty healthy.

I could use some cardboard next time I change my oil. That's a good deal right there. $6.

Veggie = not enough protein for me personally.
More healthy, I would not say pretty healthy.

The tortilla itself is 290 calories, 9 g of fat, and 670 mg of sodium.

Chipotle is less greasy and relatively healthier than most of your mexican chains out there though.

no thank you, dont need cardboard but you can ask them to cut down on the rice and add some extra meat. It never failed me.

I ask, though generally it's so little meat and so much rice and beans.... yuck. I grew tired of that pretty quick. I then asked for no beans but they just replace it with rice anyway.

i know what you mean, it really depends on the person that's serving. Some gives alot of meat and some gives a tiny bit. I started asking for half and half that resulted in more meat but still dependent on the server. Try asking for half and half of your two favorite meat there.
