Chipotle

Chipotle is always reliable for a tasty and filling meal. The food is good, reasonably priced, and large portions. There are vegetarian/vegan options with veggies and their sofrita.

Yes, they have a fake-meat substitute and the rice and beans are vegan, but they make everything in an assembly line and there is tons of cross-contamination going on. They touch the serving spoons and their hands to the meat constantly and then use the meat knife to cut the veggie burrito. Almost nothing is fresh - it is all canned. The food is very, very heavy. If you just want to avoid meat in your entrée then this is a good place, but if you don't want it rubbed all over your vegan food I wouldn't eat here. I asked (nicely and subtly) the person behind the counter to change his gloves and handle my food the entire way instead of sliding it down the line into a pile of beef that was on the spilled on counter and I got an attitude and then he kind of embarrassed me in front of everyone. Would never return.

This place is not that bad. This location does NOT have sofritos. They don't have any tofu at all. At least not yet. But they have recently removed bacon from the pinto beans. The burrito is good. They play the music so loud that you have to yell at the people to place your order for them to even hear you. That's pretty ridiculous. You tell the first guy "Vegetarian burrito please" and the next guy asks you what kind of meat?...Hello! Can you hear me? No, you can't! You have the music at full blast!... What is this a nightclub or something?...4 out of 5 times the nacho chips are stale. They make them beforehand and have them sit on the shelf in paper bags until they need them. However, this last time the chips weren't stale. I was surprised! Overall, it's a good place to get a quick vegan burrito, just as long as you don't want tofu.
