I have never had taco bell without one or more pubes in it.

It is the same "Grilled Stuft Burrito" they had on the menu for the last 5 years. Just a name change. I will give a prop tip. If you order that [redacted], substitute creamy jalepeno sauce for the pico. It makes you forget how stupid you are for not buying a burrito from "Chipotle".

I liked the old grilled stuffed burritos. I think it's absolutely absurd that the smallest grilled stuffed burrito that Taco Bell makes available is extra, extra large.

Speaking of giant burritos for less than $6, anyone ever been to Burrito Bros in KC's City Market, or Illegal Pete's in Denver? I didn't realize how shitty Chipotle was before I went to those places. Chipotle = salt

Illegal Pete's is absoultly fantastic. Boulder has one as well.

Been to Illegal Pete's in Boulder. It was great.

Saying that Chipotle sucks just makes you look like a snob who hates popular stuff.

I still

their guac if that helps

, I just realized after eating other places that their salsas and meats are way too salty.

I have this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint_disorder

So I don't eat chipotle, too much chewing involved.

ew2x4 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 22, 2011, 11:13:13 AM »

The only bad things about Chipotle is they have a limited selection of food compared to places like Illegal Petes, and they don't mix up the ingredients in the burritos. I didn't know what I was missing until Illegal Petes stirred up mine. Not that big of a deal, thought. Chipotle is still fantastic.

True story - a bro of mine said he could put down 20 taco bell tacos. I said he couldn't. He buys 20 tacos, eats 4 then leaves the rest on my coffee table. I wake up the next morning, my hound dog had eaten the remaining 16 tacos. Not a rough ridin' shred of lettuce left, the wrappers were completely flat and spread out all over the floor. He seemed fine. About a month later, he ate about 30 TUMS. Was pretty awesome.
