I like Moe's and Izzo's > Chipotle. The best place I've been so far would be Tijuana Flats in florida

I don't get the hate on here. It's good. Not amazing, but really solid. Willy's is a local chain in the Atlanta area that's better imho, but Chipotle is good stuff.

It's neither Tex nor Mex.

Never had it.. If Uno Dos Tacos wasn't so damned expensive i'd say they'd be a good choice.

I miss pancho's. While I am sure the food may not be the quality that I remember as a child... I would kill for some of their sopapillas.

I thought it was awful.

I'll eat chipotle, but freebirds is much better.

I've never eaten there. I've seen the name and i always assumed it was a sit down eatery. Taco Cabana is good food though.

If you're ever traveling through Lake Charles/Sulphur, check out Taco Mel. All they serve is tacos and quesadillas but they are some of the best I've ever had and I've lived in Houston, San Antonio, Austin and DFW.

It would be much better if the temperature of their food was more than barely warm.


And if they gave you adult sized portions of meats.

The temperature thing has merit, but the portion size is adult sizes unless you're quite a big baw.

Man I love Izzos, but the new location on Bluebonnet needs to rethink how they do the steak, because it's always overcooked unlike some of the other locations in BR who have juicy medium rare cuts. Also, for the bazillionth time, Izzos can SMD with that regular queso size.

You can buy the cilantro ranch at Izzo's by the pint. So good. It's been a long time since I've been to Chipotle but for me it's always been Izzo's due to them having fresh jalapenos (not pickled), fresh cilantro (not just cilantro rice), corn, and refried beans.

Kind of how I feel. If i need a meal for less than $10 that is on my way home and easy to stick to simple meat, carbs, veggies hot salsa then I stop in. Probably once every 3 weeks or so but it serves its purpose for me

I get convenience. But to say its great food or the best texmex fast food is crazy.
