Chipotle Mexican Grill

Chipotle is literally the "Subway" of Mexican food. Having said that though, the employees really do a great job here. 5/5 goes to the staff. They always serve fresh ingredients and their preparation of the food never disappoints. I've never really had a problem with any of my online orders except that ONE single time they served me stale chips but honestly, one single mistake in like a hundred visits is still very impressive. The company itself however is the one that deserves the 3/5 star rating. I just don't like their business model. At it's core, chipotle isn't even a kitchen- it's more like a clone of Subway, but applied to Mexican food instead of sandwiches. Nothing is actually cooked here- the ingredients are just poured out of a bag, reheated, put into metal food service trays and then "put together" and assembled in front of the customer. Granted that the quality of the food here is *many orders of magnitude better than taco bell*, you still get bored of eating here after a while because the food is nowhere near as good as it would be in a real authentic Mexican food truck or restaurant. But Chipotle isn't trying to be authentic. They're taking the same route as Taco Bell and just kinda inventing their own thing. A lot of people like inauthentic faux Mexican food and that's not a bad thing. My only complaint about the company is that I can't see myself eating here every day because the preservative-laden pre bagged meat ingredients just don't hit the spot like a good street taco hits the spot. On a side note, their mobile app is great. 5/5 to whoever designed that app.

Very tasty burritos, fast working employees with good customer service and happy demeanors. On my visit there was a girl who was helping a pair of girls one vegan, the other not. So the vegan person asked the employee to change gloves and wash her hands before handling her food, the employee was very polite and willing to do as she was told by the vegan person. Otherwise the food was tasty.
