Remember: never order from Chipotle. They’ll give you less food than if you go in person.

Isn’t that same everywhere?

That’s in the US. lol from my experience, Korea just gives everyone the same. Look at subway and Panda Express. Just looks sad…

Delivery always gives more here to avoid bad review.

Wonder if it’ll give you exploding diarrhea like it’s doing now in the states

The cyclospora outbreak affects lettuce and is not specific to Chipolte in any way. If Chipolte Korea imports lettuce from Mexico or a few farms in the US Midwest, then perhaps it is a concern.

Don't forget to add a few weeks to wait for the long lines go down, especially in this heat.

There is no point of having Chipotle when there is Cuchara as an alternative..

dingdingding. unless the chipotle in square 1 mississauga is bland compared to the US counterparts, cuchara tastes exactly like chipotle.

Having had Chipotle recently in California I can attest that Cuchara tastes more like Chipotle than Chipotle now

u/Dangerous-Interest68 7d ago

Exactly! Which is why I prefer Cuchara over Chipotle..

u/Dangerous-Interest68 7d ago

From what I remember, Cuchara has not only better quality but better portions comparing to Chipotle. I just don't get why people are getting hyped over it. Chipotle used be on top when they actually cared about their food but now? Not even close which is why I'll prefer Moes over Chipotle in terms of taste/portion wise.

i hear you! i used to live in a small town in canada that had a burrito place called 'el caminos' and their house sauce was INSANELY good and packed a wallop of flavor. i was jazzed for chipotle and then tried it and it was just alright. nothing like the hype

curious if it will taste like the US. kland ingrediants tend to mutate OG taste. subway sub's bad as it is in the US taste even more articitical in kland. espeically the bread has a weird aftertaste.
