I'd advise against the guacamole: http://blog.jlleblanc.com/content/view/58/3/

My point isn't so much that the guacamole in itself is bad, just that they load on sooooo much of it.

Hey - they have Salads now though. :-) With enough cheese, lettuce actually tastes good! (jk)

I understand the sentiment, even jokingly. For a while I was on a bit of a rampage to get nutritional information for a lot of the slow-fast food places. I kind of expected that of Chipotle though, I mean hell you can snack on those things for days.

I'm still trying to get Quiznos' to be up front and put THEIR nutritional facts online.

Oh, I used to be a total Chipotle burrito junkie. But now, I only get the burrito bol... as Matt mentioned, the tortilla is pretty much the worst part, and really it doesn't add a whole lot of taste when you think about it. I also just ask for a little cheese and little guacamole - they still put a whole bunch on, but not as much as they normally would.

Dude, it's OWNED by McDonalds, what did you expect?

No matter who owns it, it packs a wallop in ones caloric intake. But it's so darn good, who cares? Extra cheese, extra sour cream for me, thank you very much.

Damn! There goes another place I won't be eating at anymore.

If you really want a great burrito check out The Well Dressed Burrito. It's in the alley between M & N and 20th and 21st.

don't want to be a party pooper, but just drop the dairy.
if you go to Chipotlelovers.com (and you have to register) you have finer control.
You can have a Carnitas Bol with extra black beans and salsa and only a little rice in 600 calories, 20g of fat (5g saturated)

I wish they had soy cheese. Still, it's not so bad.

I don't see the problem. I eat half the thing and save the other half for the following day. They're little different than so many other places serving prepared food that put way way way too much on your plate.

As far as the 600 calories for lunch I'd suggest it depends on the rest of your day. Some of us attempt to make breakfast and lunch our larger meals and eat light at dinner. 600 is less than 1/3 of 2000 daily calories.

Thanks for the link, it is helpful to have. I'm not a nutritionist, but simply put, if you're concerned, lay off sour cream and cheese! Look at the breakdown - that's where most calories and bad fat come in. Ingredients don't get more fattening just because they put it in a burrito at Chipotle! You can make your own food or have it at a fancy restaurant and that's how fattening it will be too, should you add those same ingredients.

FYI - Chipotle was bought by McDonalds after it was successful, but the original founder and CEO still maintains authority.

I jsut got back from having Chipotle...
black beans, rice, salsa, and guac in a bowl with three crispy taco shells on the side (I prefer to make my own tacos). A drizzle of the honey chipotle...mmm. I eat three stuffed tacos and still end up with half the bowl left (which my husband ends up eating. That means my meal was way less than 485 calories (that's how much the whole bowl would be with the taco shells and without the dressing), which is 10 points. For a filling meal you really can't beat that and I PROMISE you won't miss the cow secretions, I mean sour cream and cheese. :)
Don't hate Chipotle!
