Chipotle is high quality fast food and real food. McDonald's is bland and gross, highly processed, and I don't know what else.

You'd be better saying Chipotle is the Panera of Mexican food.

I LOVE Chipotle... at least they have a decent tasting vegan meal... I get the veggie burrito bowl, no cheese or sour cream, more guacamole instead and brown rice is now available... lots of veggies and the food doesn't come out of a can or box

I think it's fresh-looking.
I think it's a bit overpriced.
I think they could give you a bit less and you'd still be okay with it.
And I get annoyed when I have to pay that much for food which makes me stand in line to order cafeteria-style and then have to also pay extra for a small paper bag of taco chips that has a bit of lime juice sprinkled on the chips.

Default Chipotle comes to Lafayette!

I had lunch at a brand new Chipotle yesterday in Lafayette, Indiana. We were very excited because we travel for work through that area often, and there was nothing but fast food choices available.

I had an excellent veggie burrito bowl, with black beans, lime rice, grilled peppers and onions, roasted corn salsa, cheese, and the best fresh guacamole ever.

I've been there once and thought it was very good. I had the chicken tacos and chips & salsa. The only problem is that they are so busy during lunch that you can't find a parking spot. I do wish that it was a little cheaper to add the chips & salsa to your order. I just can't have any Mexican style food without my chips & salsa!

I agree about the parking, however, the new one I went to yesterday had a really large parking lot, and the restaurant was larger than most.

I'm always worried there wont be a place to sit once I get through the long line. The one near my office isn't very big.

Right, some of the locations I have been to have very small seating areas. Hopefully they will build more of the larger restaurants with larger parking lots. Chipotle is always busy!

You should try it, all the ingredients are high quality and you can choose your own tasty combinations. Great for vegetarian and vegan meals as well.

Chipotles are always very busy, there is a good reason why.
