Chipotle vs. Taco Bell - Which Treats Your System Worse?

http://www.annastaqueria.com/

CAD would you believe that I've never been to Anna's? I lived about 5 mins away from the one in Brookline for the longest time too. Just had Boca Grande for the first time last week (verdict - was good) so now on a mission to try Anna's in the near future.

That said, now that I'm living in Eastie where there are a million authentic central/south american joints it almost seems like a crime to go to anywhere else.

I like Chipotle, but then I don't live in NYC next to a mexican takeout place where you can get huitlacoche enchiladas at 3 am. Which apparently everyone in NYC has.

Taco Bell always makes me think of that old SNL sketch where Dan Aykroyd is the sleazy businessman selling ground up insects to schools to use in their lunches.

i heard there's a new mexican place in london (in soho?) that's supposed to actually be OK

Just wanna state that this chain is something special and one of the reasons to live in Boston.

y'all need to stop eating so much fast food

oh who am i kidding

just stop eating rat-infested fast-food, and everything will be fine.

the mere memory/fear of how i'll feel after i eat taco bell has kept me away for a long long time, though i ate it pretty consistently in the years 1993 to 1998.

chipotle is BLAND AS FUCK -- kinda similar to subway, really, when you mistakenly ask for lettuce and then remember they put on a half-pound to make your sandwich look huge and filling -- and even if all that fat/calorie shit upthread is wrong, chiptole burritos still way too high in cal/fat when i can get a much tastier burrito down the block.

qdoba is, admittedly, the work of the devil.

why are you getting lettuce on your burritos?!

i am a goat

black beans, barbacoa, and a tin can, please, sir.

we have something called baja sol which features a salsa bar with several kinds of salsa which you can take yourself. its a delightful feature.

I've gone to that new Mexican place, Tracer - our waitress was so appalling I don't know if I'll ever go back. It was deeply embarrassing because my dining companion was greeted warmly by his friend, the owner, and we were comped drinks that the waitress took 30 minutes to bring (and had to be reminded). After that, we had to give her a second reminder about 'where is the salsa and chips?', and 30 minutes after that we had to remind her to bring my friend's entree (mine somehow came out minus fixings, with the salsa and chips), and when I asked 'where the guac at?' was told that they'd run out.

Sticking to Wahaca, Donkey Daddy and the nest of burrito wagons/cafés around Goodge Street.

CAD would you believe that I've never been to Anna's?

wow! when i lived in coolidge corner i was a boca grande hardliner but since i moved i've gradually come over to the anna's side. but yeah i always read about awesome places up in your area and tell myself i need to try them someday.

Yeah there are def some hidden gems around here.

My Burrito Bol Print E-mail

Secret Burrito Bol

Here is my SECRET Burrito Bol weightloss formula.

Breakfast: cup of coffee and an egg (scrambled or hardboiled).

Lunch: Fajita Bol (peppers, onions, steak, tomato salsa, green tomatillo salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, romaine lettuce)

Dinner: Fajita Bol (peppers, onions, steak, tomato salsa, green tomatillo salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, romaine lettuce)

Yes. I eat two of these burrito bols each day. This totals about 1480 calories and 29 impact carbohydrates daily.

Do not be fooled. This diet is not solely based on calories. It has a slightly low-carb effect. So, stick with my Chipotle Diet formula. The only substitution you should make is the meat. You can choose any meat, however, the chicken may be best for weightloss. I usually get the steak and it hasn't hurt me yet. Check My Progress.

Oh and don't forget to order guacamole, cheese and sour cream. Yes, you can have all of these! I do.

lol @ "chipotloser"

but look at what it did to his kids face :(

ime chipotle is as good as most "mexican" places in nyc

wut

you heard me

you should eat in queens more often!

i didnt say there were no good mexican places in nyc

maybe he's talking about those mexican places that are actually run entirely by chinese people

"mexican"

it's so easy to make a tightly wrapped burrito that doesn't end up like someone vomited on you halfway through the meal -- you just have to steam the tortilla for longer/at a hotter temp than the chipotle people do

also, their employees have this weird messianic complex ime?

mexicanic complex

also, their employees have this weird messianic complex ime?

okay this needs explaining

like alright for instance, in my college town here in missouri, we're not exactly authentic taco truck, usa & all the joints around campus are chains, and admittedly chipotle is the best one, but their employees act as if chipotle is some gift to the community. maybe it's different in other places? idk

they get really put off if you ask them to re-roll your burrito because if it's too big they just fold the flap over and look up and smile at you

ime = in your college town experience

do you unwrap the foil too jordan?

i feel like it's a company wide problem, amon

no i don't get burritos there anymore, but imo you should be able to unwrap the foil without the thing opening up into your lap like a sewage pipe

the one near me, 90% of the employees are hispanic and seem to have a fast food worker complex

i think the chipotle ppl were miswrapping ur burrito or something

el rancho, dude!

i feel like it's a company wide problem, amon

company-wide in places that don't have mexican food mebbe

when I think chipotle employees (I've only had it in CA) I just think bored-looking hispanic dudes. maybe the messiah will be a bored hispanic dude tho.

xpost alternatively am0n otm

sounds like chipotle fucked jordans girl

puts this post in a new context:

i just meant that a chipotle in a lollege town will probably have lollege students employed there. and lollege students sometimes tend to impart an air of importance to anything they do, even if its making fast food burritos

posting on the internet for example

;)

i don't even know if this has come up her but fair warning to everyone itt, if i see you asking a chipotle employee to mix up the components of your burrito with a fork i will kill you irl

thanks for the warning
