good idea except this:

would you rather watch/comment as your chipotle burrito is made or just phone it in and hope for the best?

I like to throw in comments like (extra rice plz) and THEN VERIFY THAT THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SATISFIED MY REQUEST!  Call me paranoid, but I like to be there to make sure my burrito is as delic as I want it.

Agreed wholeheartedly....BUT!  Don't you love the feeling of walking right past the line that is all the way out the door to the register to pick up your burrito and go?  Pretty great feeling.

Gaining an elite status at Chipotle would be worth it's weight in gold.  I imagine that every female waiting in line would instantly drop their panties at that sight.  Possibly some dudes as well, but that's the price of fame.

True story:  Guy decides to have chipotle for lunch.  Line out the door.  Calls in order.  Waits 3 minutes and he's still not to the part of the line that goes in the door.  Walks by line and to the rest of people in line when he picks up his called in order, sits down and goes to town on it.

Probably had a smug little grin on his face the entire time.  I know I would.

I hate the iPhone, but this is truly incredible.  Please someone make this app for the Pre.

[Del Tremens]

Downloaded the app last night and am just chewing the last of my steak burrito ordered using it today.  The play-by-play:

11:10 a.m.:  Del thinks to self, "Self, I'm hungry.  Let's do this!"  Del calls up Chipotle app on iPhone 3GS.  Chipotle app checks Del's location and shows him the closest Chipotles.  Del selects the second-closest.  Del chooses a burrito, then steak, then rice and both beans, mild salsa, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce.  App offers Del chips and a variety of salsas, which Del skips.  App asks if Del is ready to checkout.  He says yes.  App has Del create an account.  Del enters credit card info.  App accepts order and asks Del when he wants to pick up his burrito.  Del selects 11:30.  App says it will send an e-mail confirmation.  App asks Del if he wants to save this order as a favorite.  Del says yes. 30 seconds later, iPhone receives e-mail confirmation of order.  Confirmation tells Del to stroll right to the register to pick up his order.

11:15 a.m.:  Del leaves home, stops by the dry cleaners, stops by the post office.

11:30 a.m.:  Del rolls into Chipotle parking lot.  Walks into Chipotle, laughs out loud at 20+ chumps in line, and strides right to the register.  "Mobile order for Del?" he asks the cashier.  She turns, grabs a steaming fresh burrito by the side of the register, puts it in a bag, and hands it to Del.  Then, sheepishly, she asks Del for his autograph.  Del obliges.  Del turns and holds his burrito triumphantly above his head, then walks toward the door.  Gradually, one person in line, then another, then another, begin clapping slowly.  The clapping increases, and whistles and "whoo-hoo's!" are heard.  As Del approaches the door, he is mobbed by those at the end of the line, trying to shake his hand, or just touch him.  He turns around one last time, raises his arms in victory, and then steps out the door...30 seconds after entering.  He drives home and eats the bejesus out of that burrito.

Somewhere in there you are bending the truth.  I mean, who goes to the post office anymore?

[BigCat]

I don't have an iPhone but wish I did now. It could be said that Del "laughed all the way to the Chipotle."

*will soon be leaving to purchase a burrito of the chicken variety and wash it down with some wine. lmfao at the other Denver-based startups Qdoba and Illegal Pete's for even trying to act like their crap is as good as Chipotle's. Though Pete's does have a bar and live music.

[Perry]

If I wasn't an hour+ away from the nearest Chipotle, I'd be buying the crap out of an iPhone right now. This has got to be the most elite thing I've ever seen.

[PCR]

The only Chipotle I go to that usually has much of a line is the one in Boulder, which also happens to be the center of the iPhone Universe (everyone except PCR has one.)  So I imagine a line around the store of nerdy hipsters waiting on their iPhone burritos. 

I usually like to survey the meats before making a final decision, though.  I want my chicken blackened and no rare steak. 

[Thin Blue Line]

The only Chipolte I've ever been to was in Alexandria, Virginia.

[Dirty Sanchez]

I like watching them make it.  I always say light on the sour cream, but the mexican working only understands the words "sour cream" and still throws a cup and a half on there.  Every fracking time.  I'd complain but its not really worth the time.  I'd just be attacked as a racist because Chipotle can't hire people that understand English (Topeka and KC anyway, never had a problem in 'tan)

Do you know what I would do if I walked into a sushi place and saw a white d00d standing back there in his Gap jeans laying out some sashimi?  Go to Chipotle and order americanized mexican food from a mexican, that's what.  Your logic is baffling.

That would be Americanized.

Like a good lefty, always sees race where there should be no division.  I just want them to be able to fix the food how I order it.  Its called customer service.  The white kids in Manhattan never get it wrong.  You know why?  kk's buddies speak English!

[steve dave]

That would be Americanized.

I do this at the Original OK JOES.  I call on the way, walk in, grab my food, walking by the half hour long line.  Then I leave.

difference between Chipotle and OK Joes is the line takes x2 longer at OK Joes..

Mild salsa?     Were you afraid you might spill some hot salsa on your dress?

Anybody can put together a McChipotle burrito.

By your logic, I should be able to order a Jumbo Jack in English. Good luck!

   I had just picked up that dress from the dry cleaners I stopped at. 

I prefer to add the hotness myself by drowning my burrito in Tabasco.   

Forgot to add that before you complete your order, it asks you if you have any special instructions.  "Extra cheese!"

You take that back, and take it back right now.  Tabasco is pretty much money on everything. 

[Dirty Sanchez]

There's much better hot sauces out there.

This one, for example.  Available in the Mexican section.  Costs just over $1 for a bottle that's more than twice as big as a tobasco, plus you taste something other than vinegar.

pshaw... 29th of course... i don't want to pay to park to eat Chipotle.

My lil bro has a bottle of that in his fridge.  IIRC, he's a huge fan.  I'll have to try it next time I'm over there.

Good on tacos, but I also love it dumped on tortilla chips, cheetos, or popcorn.  Makes them a little messy, but who cares?
