"do they call places like Chipotle and Panera Bread "fast casual"? is that the term? ie, better than fast food but not like, awesome"

Not sure the official name of them, but I'm a fan. Food is decent, prices are good, can get your own drinks and don't need to tip a waiter for filling up your water glass

Add Pei Wei to the list

Its definitely fast food. just because its better and more expensive doesn't mean its not fast food.

12/21/2013 2:33:37 AM

I've never been to Chipotle

but this seems like the appropriate place to say that Moe's is completely terrible.

12/21/2013 10:09:41 AM

i'm really confused how anyone could like moe's better than chipotle

but some people like mcdonalds more than cookout i guess. the world's a crazy place.

12/21/2013 10:13:19 AM

qdoba > chipotle > moe's

12/21/2013 10:19:22 AM

Qdoba > Chipotle >>>>>>>>>>> Moes

Qdoba's Queso Chicken Burrito is tittyballs

12/21/2013 10:19:32 AM

The only thing Moe's is good for is their queso.

12/21/2013 10:50:49 AM

We have done this in like 10 threads. Bottom line Carrburritos and Flaming Amy's are always the two winners. /thread

12/21/2013 11:08:54 AM

Every time I go to Chipotle the meat is not consistently spiced

A few times have been so spicy that I could hardly eat it

Love Qdoba though. But in raleigh, salsa fresh is where it's at

MEAT

IS NOT

CONSISTENTLY

12/21/2013 11:32:53 AM

because real meat is not consistent.

anytime meat is consistent 100% of the time is because its a chemical formula and not natural meat. (every fast food place except chipotle)

12/21/2013 11:54:55 AM

Wtf does consistent meat even mean?

you know Chipotle became such a large chain because of heavy investment by McDonald's...
(but I don't think they are connected anymore)




^I would assume it means that the meat does not taste consistent from visit to visit...

Still there, still awesome.

I didn't mention it in my post since we're mostly talking chains here. Same for Carrburrito and Flaming Amy's. They're both great too IMO.

"Chipotle is good, but if you're getting anything other than a burrito, it's overpriced,"

Not sure how you figure. I generally get a salad bowl, and it's basically romaine PILED with all the fixins you'd get on a burrito (no rice for me, thx) and generally weighs about 2 lbs when I'm done with it.

I'll take my delicious, fresh, hormone-free, locally sourced (AMAP), organic (AMAP) ingredients any day over the other two places being discussed ITT (and btw, both of those places I've had, and every time I walk away feeling disgusted because their chicken tastes and smells like wet dog food).

12/21/2013 12:23:15 PM

I, too, skip the rice. Black & Pinto beans plz.

DO YOU DISAGREE

12/21/2013 1:52:40 PM

Truth. Chicken at moe's barely looks like chicken. Pretty sure its probably some shit that boiled in a bag or something. At Chipotle you can see it grilling behind the line. Only thing I've ever seen on the grill at Moe's is when they toast your quesadilla on it.

12/21/2013 6:02:24 PM

Qdoba chicken/steak doesn't taste like wet dog food

12/21/2013 6:17:42 PM

baja burrito is shitty

12/21/2013 6:33:16 PM

i agree with OP

shit tastes bland...is overpowered by pasty rice...overpriced to boot

but Baja Fresh blows everyone out of the water

[Edited on December 21, 2013 at 8:58 PM. Reason : .]

12/21/2013 8:57:30 PM

lol baja fresh

12/21/2013 9:31:00 PM

qdoba is superior

gourmet taco bell

12/21/2013 9:50:41 PM

If you don't like chipotle you are telling them to assemble it wrong.. Or something their food tastes the freshest of the pseudo fast food Mexican joints unless you include chubbies

The meat should have a mild flavor not taste like it's been in ass-soup all day (moe's).
Beans at chipotle could have more flavor I'm told but I hate beans so it doesn't matter much for me because I say "no beans please"
Their rice is good but if you don't like rice don't ask for it moron or say light rice or something ...
I usually do both pico and hot salsa.

Lettuce cheese and sour cream... Yum now I'm hungry... You bastards

12/21/2013 10:00:10 PM

I mean it's a fucking burrito. Not exactly gourmet shit

12/21/2013 10:01:52 PM

i mean it translates to "little donkey" amirite

12/21/2013 10:05:03 PM

funny how to the average american real food means "gourmet" and casual means fake chemicals. big business has trained you well

12/21/2013 10:10:23 PM

What do you consider "real food" if not the ingredients of a Chipotle burrito? Are tortillas, beans, rice, meat, tomatos, salsa, cheese, corn, peppers, onions, and guacamole considered fake chemicals now?

[Edited on December 21, 2013 at 10:18 PM. Reason : l]

12/21/2013 10:18:09 PM

they are if they come from moes and baja fresh. i mean, theres definitely some food in that stuff but most of it is fake stuff and what isn't fake is poorly/cheaply sourced.

produced coated in toxins. meat grown with hormones, coated in toxins, and combined with a filler base.

grains and condiments consisting largely of corn based molecules.

and throw in some extra chemicals to make your brain happy.

You're crazy. They grill the chicken breasts right there in front of you, and the shit's pretty tasty imo.

Yeah the chicken at Moe's isn't very good. I think it comes in half cooked or something then they finish it at the store.

You've got to be trolling, but I'll take the bait. You realize you have a say in what goes on your burrito/in your bowl, and in what quantity right? And overpriced? A burrito is like $6.50 or $6.75. That's only overpriced if your typical go-to burrito is from Taco Bell.

12/22/2013 1:24:43 AM

^wait, so you agree or disagree about the gross chicken?

12/22/2013 1:29:30 AM

We're talking about two different establishments here. In the first statement I was talking about Chipotle, in the second, Moes.

12/22/2013 1:30:48 AM

Of course it is overpriced because there is no way real food can be priced competitively with establishments like taco bell.

12/22/2013 1:49:43 AM

^^wet dog food quote wasn't about chipotle

12/22/2013 6:49:48 AM

9 bucks for a huge burrito isn't exactly "overpriced" to begin with.

12/22/2013 7:58:35 AM

Hit up Chipotle.
Order the Quesarrito.
Profit.

Be aware that it will take a little bit longer, and if it's packed you'll probably piss some people off, but it's great.

12/22/2013 9:18:48 AM

Some of you cannot stand a difference of opinion

12/22/2013 9:45:28 AM

12/22/2013 10:21:54 AM

I like this place. I think I'mma go now

12/22/2013 11:22:50 AM

^^^ Calling Chipotle a shitty burrito is like calling a ribeye a shitty cut of meat or a BMW M3 a shitty sports car. It's just a lame form of trolling, though effective as we're at 2 pages now!

12/22/2013 7:13:00 PM

3 series BMW != M3

12/22/2013 7:20:59 PM

Chipotle is the M3
Qdoba is the 328i
and Moes is the Honda Civic with the M3 body kit and a wing.

12/23/2013 12:25:37 PM

lol that's pretty accurate

12/23/2013 12:51:26 PM

this is undoubtedly unpopular but I prefer Chipotle to Carrburrito - I just wasn't blown away by that place. If I was a vegetarian it would win hands down, though.

12/23/2013 1:54:12 PM

This is just as polarizing as BBQ.

12/23/2013 2:05:04 PM

nah, everyone knows eastern style >>>>> that western "bbq"

12/23/2013 2:06:39 PM

I can't believe anyone thinks Qdoba is better than Chipotle.
