View Full Version : Chipotle
The Greatest

I just had Chipotle for the first time ever when I was in town for the All Star game last weekend, and it was, as expected, amazing. I can't believe I went this long without ever trying it, I've been missing out. Chipotle in Dublin will now be the pregame stop on the way to CCS on Saturdays.

For cheap, fast food Mexican that's not Taco Bell-- Baja Fresh is much-o superior to Chipotle any day of the week. Try it-- you'll like it.

There aren't as many Baja Fresh's when compared to Chipotle (at least in my area) and it's a wee bit more expensive.

I find Baja Fresh to be the crappiest out of the 3 "new" Mexican/Burrito chains...
1. Chipotle
2. Qdoba
3. Baja Fresh

Another vote for Chipotle. Had Baja Fresh too, didn't like it as much.

The only people that eat at Baja Fresh are Wendy's employees.

Baja Fresh isn't bad, but nothing compares to Chipotle. Baja Fresh has a little more selection but Chipotle is one of those things that I think I could eat at least once a day for the rest of my life and not tire of it. When I go away on business or I go on vacation I plan ahead so I know where the closest Chipotles are. If there aren't any there I am actually sad.

Baja Fresh is like Taco Bell with slightly better quality to me. Chipotle is an entirely new concept. I'm getting hungry now, I'll have to hit the 'Potle for lunch. I have been going with the Bol as a salad lately in my ongoing battle against getting fat.

Baja Fresh has Fish tacos. That is worth the trip. Burritos are better at Chipotle

When we moved here 2 years ago -- I had never tried Chipotle-- and was excited to do so. But-- in my opinion (obviously the minority here)-- it was very bland-- WAY to much filler over real ingredients. Tried it a few more times, but each time still no good.
Actually-- Baja Fresh is not the greatest thing ever either-- I just think you get more choice, it tastes fresher and is more flavorful than Chipotle.
Give me a Tamale stand on the side of the road any day over either of these two. If anyone can tell me where these are in the greater metropolitan Columbus area-- that's where I'll be getting my Mexican fast food.

Mostly organic ingredients. Better and fresher ingredients make better burritos.

Bol
Chicken
Pinto Beans
Mild Salsa
Corn (Medium?) Salsa
Touch of sour cream
And the topper - chips to dip in the Bol. Absolutely necessary and very delicious.

Qdoba is my personal preference of the three. A bit more selection than Chipotle, but the same idea. Maybe I just haven't gotten the right things at Baja Fresh, because I don't rate it, really.

Which is exactly why Chipotle is better than Baja Fresh IMO. Plus Chipotle has the best guac I have ever had.
Taco and tamale stands/trucks have started to pop up though now that our latino population is starting to pick up. Keep your eye are for them. Good food for sure, but not exactly the most sanitary environs if you are picky about that.

This has gotta be a play to get on Fiddy's good side.

Yes it does. And it keeps me gainfully employed as well.
