I like eating here (aside from the steak being tough as rope), but I never like un-eating later. Through the scientific process, I have determined that Chipotle-any and all locations- will always give me indigestion and diarrhea. Step 1: I present my hypothesis-Chipotle gives me diarrhea. Step 2: I check for variables and set a control batch. I can rule out food allergies because my superior genes did not curse me with any food allergies. I am Destiny of Iron Stomach (just not Destiny of Ceramic Colon). I set a control batch because I had to fast for blood work one day and didn't eat for 16 hours and Chipotle was the first thing I ate afterwards and I didn't eat anything before pooping later. Step 3: Document procedure and Test. I ate the burritos and salads and burrito bowls, which is just a hearty salad. I tend to prefer the spicier salsa. I liked it. Step 4: Post results. I have found that given the conditions of my digestive tract and a variety of Chipotle menu combinations (to include: Tortillas, white and brown rice, pinto and black beans, roasted vegetables, chicken, beef, sofritas, pork, tofu, guacamole, queso, cheese (shredded like my muscles), pico de gallo, hot sauce of varying types, sour cream, lettuce, corn, corn chips, and sometimes an overpriced Izze drink or Chocolate milk), I produce stools that are much, much less than solid, except for the corn and beans which are way more solid than they should be. I can definitely feel those. Also, my poop feels just as spicy exiting my body as it did entering it, in proportion to the spiciness of my earlier menu. If I have the mild hot sauce, it's not as bad, but whoa now! Watch out if you had the hot sauce. Just go ahead and line your colon with saran wrap and cotton balls now, because you won't have time to later. Results from this consumption normally take up to 12 hours to manifest, with as many as 14 in some cases and as little as 4 in others. I have found this to be just as true with little change under varying conditions of cardio or strength exercise as well as more sedentary periods of time in a cubicled office setting. The more extreme the period of activity or inactivity, the shorter the sharters would take. I would attribute this more to the effects of running on speeding up stool making and in a sedentary environment, the indirect diarrhetic effects of increased coffee consumption. Chipotle affects me throughout different stages of my circadian rhythm, and while I do not defecate in my sleep, whenever my reaction to Chipotle would normally occur, sleep just delays it until right after I am awake. Step 5: Conclusion. Chipotle gives me diarrhea, without fail. There is some variance as to how long I can go before having to go, which I would attribute to a mix of 3 things: activity levels, cheese consumption with the meal, or coffee consumption after the meal. There are varying levels of heat to my seat after and during defecation that appear to be a direct result of how spicy my meal was. This has been an ongoing experiment since 2013, when I first noticed these results. I am but a simple working girl and do not have the time to keep up with an accurate sum of the number of visits I have had, and felt it dishonest to just throw out an estimate as an exact number. It probably numbers over 40 times, but I can't make decent standard deviation and variance calculations on that, that is sketchy science, and a further disrespect to an already disrespected field in out time.
I hope you take note of the results of my experiment, we all have different gut bacteria that reacts in different ways, but if you ate chipotle and are now on the stool making an unpleasant stool like a tool, take my results to heart and just don't go there again, or at least not 40 more times, willingly, for science. You know they've had a sketchy history with health code violations, right? Just don't.
Two stars, Chipotle! I'm tired of having unpleasant number TWOs after you, so two is all you'll...
Read moreFood is pretty good, but the steak always has a lot of gristle. Also, the chicken is being cut in larger chunks compared to the past. In the past, it was bite size. The biggest problem with this location is the insufficient parking. I used to go there every Friday after work on my way home, but now I never do because I can never find a parking place. The company seriously needs to move this location to another facility because I pass it by 50% of the time now since they built a Star Bucks that took a lot of its parking places. Now, there is never a place to park. Employees are not that friendly.) 11-23-2022 - I got a parking place!! I guess because tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I was so excited. I went in and ordered a Quesadilla.....Uh Oh, you can only order those online....What?!! So I got two children's Quesadilla dinners. I added cheese and chicken, but then I asked for a little tomato, which makes it Sooo Good! -- "We cannot put tomato." I said but, I have always gotten some tomato on my quesadilla. "Sorry, you cannot have tomato." Well, I did not want it without tomato, so you know what they did, just turned around and threw them in the trash!!! I said, "You are going to throw them away rather than give me tomato. I have always gotten tomato on my quesadilla!! Are you crazy?!!" A guy on the line said, "I am not going to argue with you. Things change. We cannot give you tomato. -- OK, but I still wanted the rice and beans. So, they pulled out these little tiny plastic cups and put some rice and beans in them and charged me $3.00!!! -- Chipotle is NOT customer service friendly, has very insufficient parking, and has gone to the dogs!!!!! - So with this new edit I go down to two stars. - Very Stupid is all I can say. I used to love that place and went two...
Read moreCame in around 10:30pm to get some late dinner after a long day of travel. Pretty sure there was no manager there. The place was chaotic. Most of the food containers were close to empty, the cheese that went on my burrito was scraped off the bottom, so did not get much. I understand it was close to closing, maybe they decided not to make any more food even though there was a whole bunch of people coming in behind us. The counter was an absolute mess with bits of food everywhere. I've been to lots of Chipotles, and this one didn't smell very good either. The girl who made my burrito seemed to want to be anywhere else but where she was, and had a piss poor attitude. She overstuffed the first attempt at a burrito and then went and got a second tortilla, and she just dumped out the contents of the original one onto the new one. The burrito that I ended up with was very small. Probably the smallest burrito I've ever had from Chipotle. My wife asked for the corn salsa that was out at the counter, and the girl seemed rather put out that she was going to actually have to go get some more. The whole place was a mess. The cook in the back was on his phone. The kid at the counter was a little more helpful. He ended up getting me the queso blanco dip that the girl seemed to forget. I get it, it's late at night, people are tired and they want to go home. But the place is open until 11:00 p.m. The whole experience was just weird and disappointing. Honestly would have gone somewhere else if I hadn't been so hungry and it wasn't so late. Definitely won't be coming back though. Would have had a better experience just getting a frozen burrito at a convenience store. Food probably would have...
