I like it. The menu is very basic, but the ingredients are very good, and it can be a reasonably healthy alternative. It's probably at the higher end of the pricing spectrum for fast food establishments.

Sucks. Moe's is 10x better, if not for their queso dip alone.

ETA: I think it sucks because I'm not a big fan of putting rice (jasmine?) and beans in a burrito. And if you don't get that in one of their burritos you're getting ripped off, IMO.

Went one time to the one in Elmwood, and didn't care for it. Thought it was pretty bland.

It was not a very good value as I recall.

It's good. I prefer chipotle over many other places like it. I seem to find much better ingredients here.

If you're looking to coat your burrito in queso and jalapeños because you think it's part of being an alpha, this place isn't for you.

I don't agree with this at all. I go there frequently for lunch and get a burrito bowl and it is like 6.50. Nothing is really any cheaper than that, especially for what you are getting.

this must be why Houma was named the 2nd most excited city in LA

I love that you're butt hurt because I called you out for being a shitty poster.

Keep up the hard work. Your contributions are riveting.

It's pretty good. Their steak is about 10x better than Qdoba and is usually cooked med rare. Get the bowl with steak and fajita veggies and it's like $7 for a good meal.

We have a Moes here now. My ups driver loves it but I haven't had the urge to check it out.

You are the worst poster on this entire board.

Not sure what your fatass orders, but I get a chicken burrito bowl with white rice, fajita vegetables, and roasted corn salsa.

It has 465 calories, 13 grams of fat, 1,185 mg of sodium and 40 grams of protein.

The sodium is the only thing you can say is bad and the intake limit on that is 2,300 mg per day. That isn't even half the allowance, so unless you are loading up your dinner with 4 tablespoons of salt, that isn't even that high.

chipotle focuses on high quality all natural ingrediants and because of that the taste is great but you will pay and the portions are smaller

if you are young and broke and just want a 2 lb burrito then yes freebirds or Moes is better

chipotles meat and guac cant be beat, but i have to get extra meat and rice to fill me up
