I think I'm addictied to Chipotle

[armbar83]

I eat there almost every day. It's soo good and relatively cheap. How bad can all natural pork, pinto beans, and guacamole be right?

Just wondering if anyone else shares my addiction...

[cfiler]

Chipotle sause or is there a restuarant called Chipotle?

I like Chipotle sause on my homemade pizzas and nachos. mmm...

I wish it was cheat day now.

[armbar83]

The restaurant, its like taco bell but all natural meats (no hormones, pesticides). Ive seen them in California and Florida. There needs to be more...

[StoneGRMI]

We got a couple in Michigan that I've seen. They pretty good but not something I would eat everyday.

My bad, I thought you were talking about sauce. Growing up Mexican-American, I loved salsa. Chipotle is great on grilled meats. I like pork, but I don't love it. Given a choice between ham and turkey, tukey for me.
Carnitas are usually pretty fatty 'round here.
I don't care if my meat has been genetically inhanced or not. As long as it's lean.

I wish we had those up north !!

[shwamin2004]

Thats sooo funny. I've had that at least every day for the last couple of weeks. Twice today.. Im in love with it...

[armbar83]

yes, i knew i wasnt the only one...

[Panzerfaust]

Every week!

Chipotle is my favorite, i always get a fajita burrito (steak), and a guac and chips.

Pure heaven!

[armbar83]

burrito bowl baby, the pinto beans and guac are soo good...

[firmechicano831]

Never seen them in Cali but Chipotle in general is HOTTTT

[armbar83]

ive seen a few in socal, a couple in irvine...

[armbar83]

i ate there again tonight, i really need to stop...

[UpstateTank]

wheres the funn in that??? I love my meat chock-full-o hormones...gimme some beef where the cow has had fina pellets implanted!!!!

[spound]

Sorry to break it to ya fellas, but I would stay away from Chipotle. I have seen the macro profiles on their food and it is downright suprising!! Their foods are almost as bad as Mcdonalds...I am not kidding you. BTW, they are OWNED by mcdonalds...

[armbar83]

yah they are owned by md but that doesnt really mean anything...the original owners just sold the rights to the company. it didnt make the quality of the food change.

what do you mean macro profiles? like the nutritional information?

[chest6]

LOL i cant believe you can put that junk down your mouth

ive read thing that say each burrito has like almost 2000 calories

[armbar83]

worth every one

[hotstuff]

think it all depends on how you make em as to how many calories they have.... but i like mine with the guac and sour cream and pork and rice. oh and don't forget the black beans. yummie yummie ~~
but their aren't that many in my area so i only eat it a couple times a year.

Yes...I have seen the nutritional profiles...they SUCK!

-I believe they put a lot of butter and oils in their rice (ever notice how it is so sticky???)

-The mea is prety fatty as well. You may not notice, but it is...to save them money I am sure. Sure, it has no "hormones" or "pesticides" in it, but that doesn't make it good for you!! lol

[J.S.N.]

i absolutely ove chipotle and qdoba except for the fact that their meat is effing disgusting. i don't care about it not being healthyful though whateva whateva i eat what i want.

[Schmidty]

I work at quiznos andthey have chipotle sauce. It is so good

[perfectbeast2001]

you guys cheat too often!

[big L 17]

theres one 2mins from my house but i think its nasty and very fatting

BURRITOS THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD!

Chipotle, the fast-growing, McDonald's-affiliated fresh-Mex chain known for its overly stuffed burritos, doesn't disclose the calorie or saturated fat content of its burritos. But the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a group that the media likes to call the "food police," sent some of Chipotle's most popular burritos to an independent laboratory for analysis. Those results, as well as nutrition numbers provided by some of Chipotle's competition, have finally been exposed.
First of all, as a fan of these types of restaurants (we have the Qdoba's chain here in Indianapolis), fresh Mex-restaurants offer a lot of things fast food restaurants don't. Fresh veggies, grilled seafood and chicken, salsas, and beans abound. It's certainly possible to get a healthful meal relatively low in saturated fat and high in dietary fiber. But some menu items can easily top 1,000 calories, and just about everything has too much salt.
In short, fresh-Mex chains cultivate an aura of healthfulness, and like I said, sometimes it's deserved. But because Chipotle doesn't reveal calories or other nutrition information, most people wouldn't have a clue that a Vegetarian Burrito is the equivalent of an overstuffed corned beef sandwich -- plus 350 calories.
Among CSPI's findings:
Chipotle's Chicken Burrito (with black beans, rice, cheese, and salsa) weighs in at nearly 1,000 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat.
Chipotle's Vegetarian Burrito (with black beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, and salsa) weighs over a pound and provides 1,120 calories and three-quarters of a day's worth of saturated fat (14 grams).
Chipotle's Barbacoa Burrito (with shredded beef, pinto beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa) hits nearly 1,300 calories and three-quarters of a day's worth of saturated fat. That's the equivalent of a Quarter Pounder, a large order of fries, and a large Coke.
Chipotle's Chicken Burrito Bols--burritos without the 340-calorie flour tortillas--are CSPI's only recommended "Better Bites" at Chipotle. A Bol with chicken, black beans, lettuce, and salsa, has just 430 calories and four grams of saturated fat. Rice instead of lettuce adds about 200 calories.
If you want a Chipotle Burrito and not a Bol, CSPI advises consumers holding the cheese and sour cream. That can save 200 calories and a half a day's worth of saturated fat. We estimate that skipping the rice could save 200 calories more. And most Chipotle Burritos are big enough for two meals: Just ask your server to wrap each half separately.
Baja Fresh, a Wendy's-owned chain, has much more than burritos also. Its chicken, cheese, or steak Quesadillas average 1,230 calories and have a nearly two days' worth of artery-clogging saturated fat. That's like having three Quarter Pounders with another half-day's sat fat thrown in, according to CSPI.
Baja's Nachos are even worse. With a day's worth of calories (2,000) and sodium (2,890) with two days' worth (39 grams) of saturated fat, the average order of nachos (made with steak, chicken, or just cheese) is worse than four Quarter Pounders.
Some Baja Fresh dishes CSPI recommends include:
Baja's Chicken or Seafood Ensaladas. These generous salads, topped with chicken or seafood, have about 300 calories and no more than four grams of saturated fat.
One Baja Style Taco with chicken, steak, or seafood has around 200 calories and a gram or two of saturated fat to make two equal a reasonable lunch.
The Vegetarian Bare Burrito has cheese and lettuce instead of chicken. Both fall in the 600-calorie range.
Baja's Chicken Fajitas (without sour cream or guacamole) have around 1,100 calories -- certainly not diet food -- but only two to five grams of

[Panzerfaust]

Well, now that is just ****ing stupid then.

[Panzerfaust]

I am also saddened to hear they are owned by McDonalds...i must say that the one i go to has very good quality/fresh meat and veggies. It is still my favorite.

[J.S.N.]

mickey sqeezo's didn't start them, but they bought them like 5 years ago. i don't think they've really changed anything though.

[saturn08]

we have Qdoba's here, I not even gonna kid myself, that shit tastes great.
We used to go there for lunch all the time. My roomate still does and the asshole has a great physique. He has a bodybuilders physique all year around (he works out of course), parties all the time, eats ok, and has never touched juice or even a whey protein.
Damn asshole!
