use their app order ahead, walk in and pick up your bag of food and walk right out. no more 15 minute waiting in line.

If I do that, how can I make sure I get extra steak?

The girl who works in our will call area was ordering food from some local place on Friday and I couldn't help but overhearing...everything was extra this, extra that, plus all kinds of substitutions. Just seems strange to me. I'll get no mayo on a burger/sandwich but for the most part I make very little substitutions on things in general, and I certainly don't see the need to ask for extra of certain ingredients.

Never cared for chipolte. Overrated and overpriced

$7 for a burrito is hardly overpriced. I'm sorry you're poor.

Drive me nuts.

Ummm...double wrap my burrito...gimme more steak, more, more...extra cheese, more...I have to pay for guacamole!?!...

As an aside I remember Goff saying he took condiments from Chipolte because the food was so expensive. Probably would have started throwing hands if anyone challenged him...

Sometimes I feel like traditional Mexican burrito or sometimes I feel like Chipotle.

Chipotle never claimed to be 100% Authentic Mexican. It's basis is the "Mission" or "Santa Fe" burrito. Sometimes I feel like traditional Mexican burrito or sometimes I feel like Chipotle. Just like Frank sometimes feels like driving 8 hours for a hand job at truck stop or a COVID vaccine.

Standard Market has some of the best tacos that I've ever had in the Chicago area.

Have you tried Marmelly on Cass? Stopped in with the kids a couple years ago when we were in the area and liked it quite a bit.

Patronizing Chipotle for Mexican if you're living in the Chicago area is mind-boggling. So many better Mexican options.

It's not like we live in Rockford or some other culinary wasteland where Taco Bell is the #1 option.

Alfredos - I haven't eaten what I'd order it's been catered or picked up it's good. Never tried Guac n tac. I didn't really like Orale but others do. Others like Los Dos - I think it's okay. All are superior to Chipotle I haven't made it to Marmelly or Del Carmen yet. Bar Chido just opened. Because of this thread I might do that today.

It's definitely worth a try. It was a Yelp recommendation for what it's worth. We just had some basic tacos, but I thought their food was comparable to many of the better taquerias I've tried in Chicago. If you're looking for "upscale" Mexican, this isn't the place to go. I have family in the area and would definitely go back if I am looking for something quick the next time we are visiting.
