It may be thought that small menus are bad: why would consumers want to have their choices limited? Chipotle has thought of that, and its policy is to make anything the consumer wants if the materials are available. This policy has led to the creation of the Quesarito, Chipotle Nachos and many more secret menu items. Since Chipotle has no franchises , the company is able to maintain tight control over all aspects of its operations. Although Chipotle could grow faster with franchises, it would risk losing control over its suppliers, taste and culture.
By owning all the Chipotle stores, the company can ensure that from location to location, the design, taste and price are identical, more so than they would be if the restaurants were run by franchisees. Steve Ells admits that he did everything wrong when he opened Chipotle: his design was minimal, his food too expensive, his portions too large.

The thing with the queso: In , Chipotle launched queso nationwide, and the world was… not into it this is a good breakdown of said problem. But this queso is… still not very good? It had an interesting color -- a pale yellowish orange, sort of like a Meyer lemon if you used the Clarendon filter -- and the consistency was sort of grainy, almost like a cheese porridge.
I liked the heat that kicked in at the end, and I think Chipotle has excellent tortilla chips, but the queso still seems to be a work in progress. An even smaller thing about the hot sauce situation: Why does Chipotle use Tabasco as its hot sauce of choice? Tabasco is about heat; the flavor is secondary. Or use a local Colorado hot sauce maker and earn yourself some regionality cred.
Come on now. Here's the thing. Chipotle is trying to be good. They are not a giant chain aiming for world domination through controlling the supply lines, shaving every fraction of a cent in the margins, and pushing slop.
They have core beliefs and, for the most part, they try and stick to them. That is something to be lauded. It was sensitive, and self-conscious, and it suffered for those things. It all seems designed around the idea that it's An Efficient Means to an End.
And that, for the most part, is what Chipotle is. It is a place you can eat a few times a month quickly, and be relatively satisfied. Oh sorry. Not you, reader. Where did Chipotle come from?

To figure out some of the best things on the eatery's menu , Insider spoke to a group of chefs about their favorite go-to dishes. If they are good [at burrito-rolling], I order a burrito, if they do not seem to be very good, I order a bowl," he told Insider.
When it comes to fillings, Leonard selects his meat "depending on what looks fresh" but he usually goes for the barbacoa or carnitas because they're on the moist and juicy side.
If I get carnitas, I get pinto beans for the same reason. Every burrito I order gets fajita vegetables, pico de gallo, corn, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce," he told Insider.
He said he also loads up each bite of whatever he orders with Chipotle's Tabasco sauce for added flavor. From there, Nasir adds fresh tomato salsa and guacamole.
To me, the most flavorful meat is the barbacoa, with its garlic and cumin fusion," he told Insider. The chain may be most famous for their flour-tortilla-wrapped burritos, but Chipotle also provides plenty of choices for guests pursuing a low-carb or even a keto lifestyle. Chef John O'Neil of the "Backroads and Barbecue" show on Facebook Watch said he orders a customized bowl without rice that consists of mixed beans, corn, cheese, extra peppers and onions, extra chicken, and pico de gallo.
