I love burritos. Chicken, beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole and little bit of salsa all wrapped in a steamy tortilla is my idea of a scrumptious meal.

Standing in front of the server with the watering mouth and rumbling tummy my eyes tend to sweep the spread and wonder what else to add to my burrito. How about cilantro or peppers? Or I could be a little more adventurous and try out their chilly sauce and beef instead of chicken? Building one’s own burrito never seemed so much fun.   

Chipotle happens to be my favorite anytime restaurant. Owned by McDonalds, the food is nothing short of awesome, and is reasonably priced to boot. The menu is limited but delicious - Tacos, burritos and salad combined with sauces that vary from mild to dang its spicy make it a meal as filling and nutritious as any big chain restaurants.   

Chipotle has a rather upbeat bistro style decor and generally has long queues of people waiting to get their burritos made; which is why it makes sense to order online.

  

Since the website is user friendly and remembers my previous orders I tend to forgive the confirmation call, which is needed because they do not yet offer online payment.  A visual presentation of the menu is available on the website and all one has to do is click on the items that one would like in the burrito or taco as done in the restaurant.   

Once the order is placed, the confirmation call made, the food is ready by the time I reach the restaurant (which is about ten minutes drive from where I stay) and the best part is that I need not stand in the food line but can go straight to the billing counter and pick my food up.    

Though Chipotle has Qdoba as a close rival in terms of being in the same price range and a similar menu yet my taste buds tend to crave spicy Chipotle other than the bland Qdoba  food. The food is filling, the restaurant is clean and a dinner for three costs no more than twenty to twenty-five bucks with drinks included. So, next time when you get the urge to eat Mexican food but are tight on budget try Chipotle and here is another tip - if you happen to go there with kids make sure you carry a spoon. Chipotle carries only forks and knives and my three year old has problems eating rice and beans with a plastic fork.
