the best mexican QSR debate
- SB: I'm just gonna put this out there. If you like it, you can take it. If not, send it right back. I don't like Tijuana Flats anymore. We go there all the time for lunch now and it's just not that good. Chipotle is alot better.
- MB: Willys is the one burrito to rule them all. Get with the program
- IU: this may also be unpopular but im still partial to moes.
- AH: grow up
- KL: as i'm currently eating the two shittiest chicken tacos i've ever paid $9.25 for, i consider the disparaging comments towards tj flats a slap in the face. a real dick across the cheek. a mushroom stamp to the forehead if you will. tj flats is better than chipotle, hands down. however, i agree with MB - willys is top dollar. and seriously, moe's? why don't i just shit in your mouth.
- MB: KL - A+ on intensity. I'm hard. Yeah, moe's fucking sucks. In fact, fuck moe and the mule he rode in on! Worthless shithound that he is...
- MM: I dont go to any of those place. not a big burrito fan. but wasnt moe's the talk of the town a few years back? i remember people loving it ans swearing it was great. did they change something, or did everyone just get a little snobby about it?
- SB: Moe's sucks balls and TF is right there with them, in my opinion.
- IU: john coctostan with steak and grilled onions with chipotle ranch dipping sauce. fuck you KL
- TJ: is this really a debate? TF > chipotle > moes. done.
- SB: I've never been to Willy's because there is no Willy's down here. We have a good place called Zona Fresca but I didn't think it would be considerate to bring up a local place on a geographically diverse listserve you insensitive son of a bitch. Anyway, as for NATIONAL chains, I still maintain Chipotle is the bee's nuts as long as you can handle a lil' bout of diarrhea once in a while.
- IU: TF = aight. Chipotle = good burrito bowls, Moes = good quesadillas and burritos
- JG: Chipotle is the worst. Their rice is filled with cilantro. The sauce isn't spicy. Moes is way better
- SB: Chipotle salsa is way spicier than Moe's. Not sure what you're talking about JG.
- JG: I like my shit spicy. Actually I've only had chipotle once. The rice made me want to vomit.
- AH: JG, Just because you need really spicy shit to penetrate the nicotine and caffeine coating over your tongue and reach your tastebuds doesn't mean the food you consider bland is objectively bad
- IU: burritos at chipotle are inedible. their rice isnt good. their wraps taste like crap. i get a burrito bowl without rice - black beans, chicken, array of salsas, cheese, onions, peppers, corn, bit of sour cream- its pretty dam good. moes is better than chipotle on burritos and quesadillas but chipotle is better with burrito salads. we dont have tijuana flats up here so it is very insensitive. we do have Alero mexican up here and its pretty good. it reminds me of tijuana flats a little.
- SB: I haven't had a burrito at Chipotle in years. Their bowls are the way to go. I never had any issue with their cilantro rice but you're not the first people I've heard say that. I guess that could ruin the experience. However, their other ingredients (the meat, the salsas, etc) are way better than Moe's. Moe's buys their meat from the same Grade triple-F supplier that Sarku does, except they can't disguise the shitty quality by dousing it in the magical stir fry sauce, so it just tastes like asshole.
- MB: Am I the only one who notices that all Mexican food is just various permutations of a very small number of ingredients. Except flan, fucking love the flan.
- IU: the same goes for americanized chinese. its veggies with rice and then chicken, steak, pork or shrimp
- KL: there's no TJF here either which is frustrating. however, there is Qdoba, which i enjoy. but it's not very convenient to either my apartment or office, which makes it rare in my rotation. chipotle tastes like baby diarrhea. it really is the worst. it has zero redeeming qualities.
- IU: Qdoba is in dc as well. I used to get it late night in NC but i was usually drunk or buzzed when eating it so im not the best judge. However, I did once get it whilst studying for finals and got mild food poisoning. Stay away from their ancho-bbq burrito.
- MB: Moes tastes like dead musician mung
- SB: I think you guys are in the minority on Chipotle [insert 3 year rising chipotle stock price chart]
“I’m doing well now, though. I drank six Four Lokos with Core [Jones, another occupier of wall street], a beer or two. And then we ordered an iced mocha and two chicken fingers and large fries. I lost my virginity today. I was amped for it.”
