This is the kosher chipotle I've been waiting for all my life.
Went here for dinner, about 2 weeks since this place opened. Line was out the door and down the block which should tell you how popular this place is currently. Took about 45 min to get food so not a quick stop, despite the staff working efficiently, but we were not let down. The food here was way above expectations. They don't have a giant menu, they do a few things and do them very well (the way it should be!). We ordered the carnitas (beef & duck) burrito, chicken taquitos and birra (beef & lamb) tacos which were made in front of us.

The French fries were also surprisingly awesome. Just FYI it’s small with very little seating, but I...
