Title: Chipotle
Post by: MandCmama on June 11, 2012, 03:55:45 PM
We're thinking of taking the boys into Philly with us this week. On our last trip there, we found a conveniently located Chipolte. I remember reading here many of you trust them (we're nut and egg). I checked their website and panicked when I saw they served eggs. I called the Philly location and the manager said she was unaware that any locations served eggs. Checking the site again, I saw it did specify "select locations only". So everything seems in order to me and I'm hoping to take the boys on their 1st trip to the big city!

We've always had good luck with Chipotle for nut & egg.

We eat there probably too often because the kids like it.  And the kids have FAs to milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts.

We've eaten there many times; we deal with nut and egg as well.

No egg here, just PN, TN, sesame, chick pea and some forms of soy.  dS is there several times a week.  :misspeak:

Our first Chipotle experience went pretty well! Similar to Moe's except the meat is spicier and WOW :o much more expensive!

Yes, I have found the pork is the least spicy.

And they have beer at some Chipotles!

We will miss Moe's when we move. Our Moe's is great. We walk in and they change gloves because DS is vegetarian. The manager is a vegan. :)  dS loves the tofu option at Moe's. I like the food better. So does DS. DH and I like the Seinfeld references and the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously. And they welcome us when we walk in.

We have missed Chipotle and go there out of town. And we'll have one when we move.

But we haven't found anyone in Minnesota yet who can pronounce Chipotle correctly. Lol. It drives him crazy.

I love the Carnitas!

Though lately I've been into the veggie bowls with brown rice.  Much more filling and satisfying than I would have thought.  :thumbsup:

My kids call it Chip-POT-tl just to make me nuts.

we had chipotle last night.  We've also hit Moe's (a family in town owns one in a nearby town).  Honestly, the last few times there were mediocre.  Last night was pathetic (nothing to do with allergies)but there was only 3 or 4 people working and they were very stingy with the rice etc in our bowls.  they put a teeny bit of guac on my ds burrito while saying guac extra.

I am finding it to be $$ considering the portions/taste lately.  It irks me that they charge so much more for guacamole.

The one we go to always adds extra rice or veggies when I ask for no charge. I always get the same thing. Extra white rice, black beans, vegggies, steak, med. salsa, and sour cream. Yum!!!

I would try complaining on their facebook page. The ones here (which aren't actually "here" but are an hour away) are so generous. DD and I always split a burrito and we get the rice on the side and they are always willing to give us two cups of rice. The last time ds wanted water so they gave me a water cup. Then he decided he wanted lemonade so I went back to pay for it. They gave me a small cup and told me it was on the house. They've also given us free chips and salsa before.

I've always found excellent resolution with the managers of Chipotle when problems arise. If anything they've gone overboard in customer service.
