Chipotle - Good Fast Food!

I have been craving Mexican food and being 3 hours away from my favorite Mex restaurant, I had to think of althernatives(3 TexMex places are out of the list, tried them once and will not reconsider). I remembered my husband talking about a taco place that his co-worker was recommending before. I was pretty adamant at first because I have a taste in mind that should be satisfied and if I get something that isn’t at par with what I was expecting, I will just be disappointed and hungry.

We went to Chipotle in Arundel Mills at around 5:30pm, parking was a bit tight. The place is quite straightforward, clients form a single queue and wait for their turn to be served. The line was short and has gotten longer as we got to the front but went pretty quick, the menu is simple and easy to understand. We opted for the soft tacos. There is a choice of meat(pork, beef, chicken, vegetarian), specify the degree of heat of the spice. It’s good to know that they use organic meats(they don’t use hormones or antibiotics used in mass produced meat). Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, corn, and cheese come with the package. You are given the choice to add on salsa, gaucamole, chips, sour cream.

I had the beef tacos and they were delicious! One serving had 3 tacos which satisfied my cravings. We were pleasantly surprised with the fast food style treat for a great value. It’s like spending for burger and fries. Our 5 year old wasn’t too thrilled but I can’t blame her, they didn’t have kid friendly choices.

It was so good that we went back 5 days later for lunch, it was alot busier with the line extending to the door but we didn’t wait that long to reach the counter.

One thing I noticed the clientele was a mixture of fit older professionals, yuppies and college students.

If you haven’t tried Chipotle yet, you just got to try it. Good healthy fast food for a great value.
