Sick of Taco Bell? Check out this cleaner, slightly more expensive alternative if you're fiending for a nice burrito or tacos...
Chipotle restaurants have been sprouting up across the Twin Cities everywhere you turn. Run like a Subway, you get to choose which toppings go on your burrito and which stay off. A delicious vegetarian burrito/fajita is offered that can include roasted green peppers, black beans, rice, a choice of various salsas, guacomole, and shredded lettuce (for non-vegans there is also sour cream and shredded cheese). One of these monsters is enough to fill anyone's appetite and they come down to a mere $5. Beer and fountain drinks are available, along with nachos and other appetizer type dishes.

Nothing too spectacular about this location - food is the same as the other ones. However, when the Burrito Assembler accidentally put cheese on the burrito, after I had asked her not to, she just tried picking it out and when it was about 2/3rds gone asked if that was okay - I had to say it wasn't and she ended up throwing it in the trash. This scene didn't sit too well with me - I can see wanting to not waste food, and asking was proably actually better than not asking, but I was bummed they just threw it away rather than saved it for someone else to eat (a worker) like we always did at the restaurant I used to work at. It could be they have a policy about that or something, but it was still kind of a bummer.
