Rant: Places that put too much rice in their wraps

taco bell > chipotle

Well let's define the parameters on that. Taco Bell is certainly more cost efficient. And more selection. But no single item there is better than a single item from Chipotle (or Qdoba, which is my preferred destination for a huge burrito).

I'm not even so sure about that. Pretty much anytime I go to taco bell I end up spending 6 or 7 bucks.

no...the food is better too.

chipotle and all those others...its all hype...

taco bell is there when you need it, and its been there for you in the past too

I can't stand refried beans and taco bell pretty much slathers everything with it.

I've filled my Qdoba rewards card in about 1 1/2 months. I can eat it everyday, but I'm trying Chipotle for the first time tonight.

Hmm.... nothing I get there has refried beans on it. I usually go for the spicy chicken taco and/or the ranchero chicken soft taco.

Obviously not everything has it but alot of the burritos do. If I go to taco bell I still w/ the basics....taco supremes. Although I do like that volcano taco they had.

I prefer Qdoba mostly because of the bbq pork burrito. And it is closer to my office.

I also like rice, but I'm with C-note. If I'm paying $6 for this thing, it should be loaded with premium toppings. Otherwise I can just make the same thing at home for a lot less.

Is $6 really alot though? I don't think it matters how much rice they add the amount of chicken/beef is always the same.

Depends on your budget. Eat the above $6 meal 4x/month and you've eliminated about 1/4 of my food budget. So when I eat out, its got to be worth it (or I just have no other option).

Otherwise I can just make the same thing at home for a lot less.

Isn't this always the case with restaurant food?

Yes, which is why I generally don't eat out often unless I'm out of town or something (and even then I bring pb, j, dried fruit and assorted veggies), or the restaurant offers something elaborate enough that I won't realistically cook it at home.
