So what? I’ve yet to meet a burrito place that wasn’t fairly lame and flavorless… including Chipotle. No idea why people lose their minds over this place. It’s a glorified Moe’s.
What an outrage! Blah blah blah
Great. Can’t wait to read Stu Helm’s riveting review on this chain. I’m sure he will pick this easy target for a profanity filled rant! That’s if bikey will take him that far.
Fuck you!
He’s not riding Bikey anymore. Bikey got whacked by a tree or some shit. He was on here begging for money. He wanted $1500 for a new bike. I’m guessing $50 for a bike, and $1450 to pay mommy back for all the meals she’s been buying to help Stuey get established in the food critique business.
I really don’t understand the inclusion of that guy’s “reviews” on this site. If I want a child’s perspective on the food scene here in Asheville, I’ll just ask my daughter. Although she is too old to be relying so heavily on the use of profanity for impact.
Agreed. It’s some of the most contrived writing I’ve ever seen.
Going between Hardees and Chick Fil A as a stand alone.
Can’t wait to finally try them so I can hate them too. Or what if I like it?
Nope. You’re good. This is one of the cool chains.
Chipotle is seriously sooo delicious. I suggest barbacoa hard tacos. Barbacoa is a “Mexican bbq” made from beef brisket. They also offer steak, chicken, and carnitas (shredded pork) or fajita veggies. The taco shells are deep fried fresh daily. Chips are fried fresh daily and have salt and lime juice on them. Salsa and guac are made fresh throughout the day. Rice has cilantro and lime but you can ask for plain also. There is always a long line but totally worth the wait. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Chipotle was always a “treat” during college. There were about 6 within 20-30 mins and I would always go there to celebrate anything. It is not expensive and totally worth the amount of food you will get. You can trust good ingredients. Romaine lettuce, white cheddar cheese, grilled meats over flame, everything is fresh and so good. Don’t skip the corn salsa or sour cream either. Cannot wait for this new chipotle, one thing I miss terribly about my college city.
If you want to live in a place with zero chains then move to Rosman, NC. Good schools, zero chains and 100% unemployment. Good luck with that.
In before the inevitable accusations of Asheville hypocrisy re: chains!
Nobody cares if a chain is built outside of downtown.
It seems that folks pick and choose which “chains” qualify for inclusion or exclusion…
Almost everything downtown is a chain too, or do we not count chains that start here or ones “we” like?
“Almost everything downtown is a chain” WTF?!! Which downtown are you talking about? That may be the stupidest comment posted here to date
Uh, what?
typical ignorant comment
They should put it in the new Publix Shopping Plaza on Hendersonville Rd.
Not fair Hickory, NC has a new one and Greenville, SC is getting a second one and Asheville has none.
CHAI-poedle!
That would be a great move on their part due to the demographic to support such a move. Folks that drive buy and can afford to eat out everyday in the ten of thousands daily. Very nice move if true.
