Review: Chipotle - Chicken Burrito Bowl

Chipotle's Chicken Burrito Bowl is their Chicken Burrito built the way you like it, sans the flour tortilla, served in a bowl. The price is the same as a Chicken Burrito at $5.69 but the eating is actually neater with a spoon or fork.

I think I like getting my burrito as a bowl rather than the traditional method; the flour tortilla is just to hold everything together and gets soggy if you save some for later. Also, they roll the burrito rather fat so I almost inevitably lose some of the stuffing while eating.

I don't know why I chose to get lettuce. What kind of bowl is full of lettuce? A salad bowl that's what. I think I went a little too crazy having them add everything but the lettuce is the only thing I regret.

I tried the spicy red tomatillo sauce for the first time and really liked it; it's like a red sauce and add as good amount of heat that I enjoyed. The chicken was well-seasoned and have that slightly charred flavor that only an open flame can give. Combined with the rice, the three salsas, the beans, and the cheese, there was a lot of flavors going on with my Burrito Bowl and I enjoyed it heartily. It's a pretty good value since there was enough food to feed me for two meals.

The only thing I would change next time would be to get more rice and zero lettuce.
