Restaurant Review
Chipotle Mexican Grill is a popular chain of fast food and healthy fast food restaurants. It is known for its casual dining experience, fresh ingredients and top quality of authentic Mexican food. The unique selling point of the restaurant and its founder Steve Ells is to offer few variety but the best quality. The chain of outlets offer limited variety in form of burritos, tacos, fajitas and salad. However, each of these food items have multiple variations with different kinds of salsa and choices of meats or simply vegetables. They ensure that with the limited variety they serve food with premium quality of ingredients.
Chipotle Mexican Grill is particular about using organic food and meats from animals which have been naturally raised without injected hormones. The interior and the restaurant décor have been kept more or less uniform across all its outlets with use of corrugated steel and plywood. The prices are reasonable with most burritos starting at $6.50 only. They are also known for accepting orders through fax and for launching and iphone apps, whereby one can order a burrito and pay by credit card.
