I tried Chipotle once: I'd rather eat a piece of rug.
But maybe if they get everyone to try it _once_ as I did, that will define success?

#23It's no surprise 37signals is based in Chicago (I just did a whois) if they think Chipotle does Mexican food "well".
Chicago actually has a very large Mexican population.
"The 2000 census counted more than 530,000 Mexicans in the city of Chicago, with more than 1.1 million in the metropolitan area."

There are hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants everywhere in Chicago.

#25This was also true for Domino's Pizza back when they began to take off like a rocket: a very limited menu, and low delivery time.

Somewhat literally: McDonalds holds a huge stake in Chipotle. Except Chipotle is way healthier and works better than most fast food joints.

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same thing with Five Guys (not sure if they've spread beyond the East Coast). Very simple menus seems to be a hot trend recently.
They've recently made it to Colorado.
Really? I don't see any on http://www.in-n-out.com/locations.asp, and none came up when I searched for various cities.

Chipotle's meats (particularly the steak) can be quite bad at times, but the rest of their stuff is pretty good, and their chips are great. I haven't been to a Taco Bell since a Chipotle opened up in my neighborhood, despite the Taco Bell being quite a bit cheaper and only two blocks further away.
