When it comes to Chipotle, people either seem to love it or, like plenty of Redditors, think its overrated. Sure, the company has seen its share of ups and downs, but nobody can deny that they were one of the brands that ushered in the fast casual trend (via The Washington Post). People love their burritos and burrito bowls, and even their queso is trying to make a comeback.
Lets take a minute to talk about Chipotles tacos though, and why they might not be the best option if you want the most bang for your buck. Yes, it seems a little odd to tell folks to avoid the tacos at a Tex-Mex place, but trust us on this one.
Nobody knows the Chipotle menu better than the employees who are on the frontline, slicing, scooping, and rolling orders day in and day out. When it comes to what not to order, Chipotles tacos might just be at the top of that list. Its not that theyre necessarily bad — theyre made with the same ingredients as everything else on the menu, after all. Its that theyre sort of a ripoff.
Go for a burrito bowl and ask for hard or soft tortillas on the side. Youll be able to stuff the tacos with as much or as little filling as you want and if you dont finish your meal you dont have to worry about the tortillas getting soggy later on. Plus, the former employee also revealed a Chipotle secret: You might even get those tortillas for free. Score!
