I'm going to admit, it's not that I'm picky, but right now, I'm slightly more obnoxious than usual when going out to eat. Â Blame eating "paleo". Â Now, Chipotle isn't exactly "paleo" (and I was kinda lax to begin with), but when you're out running errands and hunger strikes, it's probably one of the easiest and quick options out there. Â
I've learned to order two sides of meat and leave happy. Â Sometimes I'll add a side of guacamole. Â It's cheap (two sides of meat and guac will run you the same if not less than a burrito bowl), it's filling and it usually leaves me with two meals. Â
This location always seems to have obnoxiously loud music, but it's never packed. Â In fact, there are rarely more than 2 people in there at a time. Â Not bad, not bad at all.
Every time I eat at Chipotle I get the same meal and eat half, save half.
This was my first time at this location. I don't love how they bellow "WELCOME TO CHIPOTLE!!" at you when you walk in...it's sort of startling. I ordered my usual burrito but this time it was so salty i could barely eat it. I was going to let it go but an employee walked around asking how everything was. I told her (quietly) that the food was really unusually salty and she determined it was probably the rice. She walked over and tasted a sample of rice and agreed the salt issue was in the rice. She asked me to fill out a card with my info for a free meal on them. I filled it out and it was tossed into the general email/business card container.
I never received an email for a free meal...it's been over a month. Further, the next day I reheated my other half of the burrito as usual and the rice was rock solid. That means the salt absorbed all of the moisture.
**I went back another time to see if the rice was better.....it was a little better but again....the next day my burrito's rice was rock solid. Something is out of whack at this location.
Eh. It's Chipotle, so you can always count on the food being the same. And I'm okay with that.
But seriously, what's going on with the employees here? Have they no sense of urgency? Do they not hear me the first two times I say I don't want sour cream? Do they not understand that when you spoon in a lot of water with the black beans, the tortillas will get soggy and fall apart when I attempt to eat them 10 minutes later? It's a shocking concept, I know.
The first two times I went, I gave them some leeway since they had opened pretty recently. So I overlooked the fact that they were literally yelling when they asked how I was doing (even though I was the only customer in the store) and ignored the fact that they used a different salsa than the one I'd asked for. Maybe it was my fault for not keeping an eye on them while checking out.
Regardless, I've been here 3 times, and each time I leave regretting not going to the Chipotle off Belmont.
