    Yeah, I’ve been there like 2-3 times, and have been disappointed every time. Costa Vida is way better and still pretty mediocre imo, but it has that “Subway” style ordering you’ll get at Chipotle, and I guess some people like that.

    If you want Mexican, find a place with a well stocked salsa bar, counter service, and jugs of differently colored liquid on the counter, bonus points for multiple TVs playing soccer viewable from anywhere in the seating area. You’ll get much better food for the same or less than Chipotle and you’ll have to make an effort to finish everything.

      When I want Mexican, I just go to a Mexican restaurant. Or the taco truck at the end of my street. Taco truck is the best deal, shitpoltle is around the same price as a real Mexican joint.

        Friends don’t let friends go to Chipotle.

        My favorite Mexican place is closer than Chipotle and has amazing tacos. You order at the counter, go to the salsa bar, and then your food is probably ready. It’s really fast, really good, and the kitchen is completely open so you can watch them make everything if you want (they’re really fast).

        And yeah, taco trucks rock. I don’t live in the city, so my options are pretty limited as far as food trucks go. But good Mexican restaurants are easier to find than Chipotle.
