Chipotle Mexican Grill

Yep! - Colin

True. The foil, the Tabasco, the sodas... All Americanized. But do you think it is Tex-Mex? I've lived in Texas my whole life and Tex-Mex is more chile con carne, chile con queso, etc. , or so I think.

Chipotle is more San Francisco Mexican as we are modeled after the burritos in the Mission District.

But whatever, it is, it is good. - Colin

San Francisco Mexican? Well,from what my teachers taught me,its considered Tex-Mex when Mexican food has been americanized because it spread to Texas & the SW region & was Americanized (ex.Taco Bell). Anyway,whatever U.S state it's modeled after(idk the official term- prolly not San-Fran-Mex) it's still Americanized yet pretty good food. :]

Good combo. The corn gives it some nice texture. - Colin

Amen to that. I had some yesterday and it was amazing. - Colin

Sweet! It does pay to be loyal and recognize the manager. Good story! - Colin

That's normal. We give one scoop of rice (4 ounces) and one scoop of beans (4 ounces). If we are giving you two, chances are they are two smaller scoops that equal 4 ounces and we need to work on that with our crew. So, the perception is you are getting more/less, but you really aren't. If that makes sense.

As for the chicken, it is and has always been a quarter pound of chicken. If you'd like, you're more than welcome to ask for more and we can do double portions.

By all means, the portions aren't getting smaller. We haven't sent out emails asking our crews to cut back or anything.... Read More

But if you guys see anything that you don't think is right, feel free to email Joe at Customer Service and let him know so we can check in on it. Maybe there is some training we need to do or what not. He'll get back to you via email ASAP. www.chipotle.com/speak. Thanks! - Colin

that might be what happened, but there has still been some sort of cutting back on something because a few years back, the burritos were practically ripping apart from being so stuffed. now, there is a LOT of extra tortilla...so, unless ya'll guys just happened to increase the size of the tortilla by like 50 percent, they have gotten smaller so how. some chipotles I go to still make them like normal sized, but this one I've stopped going to because they make them REALLY small... weird...

Yes, you are so right....I wish the same!

Unfortunately we won't be adding queso any time soon. For cheese to stay fluid and in that consistency, it requires a lot of chemical stabilizers. And, not sure what you do/don't know about our food, but we're not that in to chemicals. For instance, we use rBGH free dairy, meat that comes from family farms and is never given growth hormones and antibiotics, etc. You can read more at www.chipotle.com/fwi.

Hope that answers the "why don't you have queso?" question. - Colin
