Taco Bell tests new restaurant aimed at Chipotle crowd

[snickerd3]

I don't like chipolte's rice....so when you are a bean and rice burritto sort of person that makes a huge difference

I really think if you get a chicken burrito, rice, black beans, flour tortilla from either 3 they all pretty much taste the same....

I have only eaten at Chipotle and Qdoba in Boulder (where its difficlut to find workers than can work simple minimum wage jobs) so maybe my taste are skewed....

What really sucks is all those places lunch cost you $10 bucks...

 

[snickerd3]

qdoba around here is about $8 for burrito and drink...if it were closer I would eat lunch there more often. I know it isn't authentic mexican food, but mexican food in general is probably my favorite food.

Izzo's >>> Chipotle > Qdoba > Moes

Moe's is complete sh*t. There were two in town at one point, but Izzo's put them out of business rather quickly.

You guys come and talk me about the best burrito after you've been to Freebird's World Burrito. The best thing to ever come out of College Station. Chipotle and all those other guys are just cheap imitiations.

Labamba's home of the burrittos as large as your head are great too. college town sort of place. super yummy. probably ranked better the the national chains. they use a spanish rice and a melted chihuahua cheese that is to die for

Anyone heard of Cilantro Mexican Grill? Their pretty good and decently priced. They have a few locations locally. I'm not sure if they are located anywhere else.

My wife loves that place, but she only eats there when she's visiting her parents.

it's one of the fast food places that has a deal with AAFES, usually it's paired with BK in a stand alone building but not always, Taco Bell is usually at the PX's but not as a stand alone building, which is odd because other than tacos, pizza is the only food where there isn't a monopoly. (pizza hut and dominos)

Got Taco Bell and Taco Johns around here. Taco Johns is pretty much bottom of the barrel, but they do have taco tuesday's. Oh and don't dis the Doritos taco. Best taco ever.

I didn't think Izzo's was a chain. Overall burrito quality is a step up, but their chicken itself is pretty meh.

Our local Qdoba stopped issuing the green Tabasco sauce. I may have to knock them down a peg. I don't want Cholula on everything.

I practically lived at the first Izzo's when they opened during my senior year. My senior design group left the shop and went there for breaks at dark thirty on a regular basis. Good times.

Envirotex is right...Freebirds is by far the best...I luv Chipolte, but they are nothing compared to Freebirds! They have been expanding from College Station, I saw one in Madison, WI

 

[Road Guy]

Never heard of izzo's or freebirds.... Will keep an eye out for them.....

I am just hoping they put a zaxby's franchise out here soon....

 

[Master slacker]

Cane's > Zaxby's

 

[Road Guy]

Now your just being ******* stupid ......

 

[wilheldp_PE]

For a place that specializes in chicken, I don't think that the Chicken at Zaxby's is very good.

Chick-fil-A > Zaxby's.

 

[Supe]

And I can say the same about Chick-fil-A, whose chicken sandwich is sub par compared to even Wendy's.
