    I have heard all the good things about Chipotle, good service, fresh food, natural etc.
    Today I went for the 1st time. It was good, not much difference between it and Moe's as far as taste in my book. It seemed fresh, but was expensive. Over $10, for Chicken Burrito , chips and a coke.

    When you read an article about McDonalds, they seems to always reference how McDonalds needs to be more healthy and fresh like Chipotle. Looking into its interesting that until recently McDonalds owned Chipotle.

    After eating I was figuring the calories etc.

    Chicken Burrito, with rice, black beans, cheese and lettuce: chips and a coke

    Calories - 1840, Fat 62g, sat fat 14g, sodium 2455 mg - Cost $10.35

    I compared this to a Big Mac Value meal

    big mac, fries, coke
    Calories- 1030 , fat 45g, sat fat 13 g, sodium 1205 mg. Cost $5.99


    So I was surprised that the Big Mac meal beats the burrito (except sat fat). Just surprising to me is all.
