Chipotle by Michael Quinn March 12, 2007

Chipotle is a restaurant that serves “gourmet burritos and tacos”, as their slogan says. If you didn’t already know, our school had a competition with Tustin High School to see how many people would go from each school on a given date and the winner (who happened to be us) gets a free burrito for everyone in the school. A surprising fact is that Chipotle is owned by McDonalds, the food is amazing, and the prices are reasonable. The menu is limited but delicious – tacos, burritos, and salad combined with sauces that vary from mild to extremely. Chipotle has random and modern art that was made from metal and wood in their restaurants and always has a lot of people waiting to make their burritos. Luckily, you can now order online now. The website is user friendly and can remember previous orders. You do, however, get a confirmation call, which is needed because they do not offer online payment yet. A visual presentation of the menu is available on the website and all you have to do is click on the items that you’d like in the burrito or taco, as done in the restaurant. Once the order is placed, and the confirmation call made, the food is ready by the time you reach the restaurant and the best part is that you do not need not stand in the food line. Instead, you can go straight to the billing counter and pick up your food. So, next time you get the urge to eat great Mexican food, try Chipotle. Their burritos are about one pound of great taste.
