Tried out a Chipotle a month back when I was in San Antonio. Not even worth the price of the fucking burrito. Freebird's makes 'em bigger, cheaper, and the've never skimped on the meat. Plus, I had ass burn all night, thanks to Chipotle.
Dude, if you live in San Antonio, the lowest you should go is Taco Cabana, which is awesome. (BTW, Texas is all about tacos, not burritos, imo, unlike California). From there, it only gets better.
To start with, avocados are expensive. Second, Chipotle is expensive because of the quality of the ingredients that they use. If you want a cheaper burrito, go somewhere else. They make the burrito in front of you so if you want more steak, pay attention and ask for it.
Taco Cabana is a pretty sweet joint. I don't know if I'd say Texas is all about tacos (I'm a soft taco man myself, so I'm practically getting a burrito), but judging by the amount of Rosa's and the popularity of Taco Tuesdays in the Lone Star State, you may have hit the nail on the head with that one.
Worth it? Yes! When I'm baked, nothing hits the spot like Chipotle. The shits the next morning may burn, but it's still worth a Chipotle steak burrito.
Wow I had no idea this many people would get ass burn after Chipotle. I'm glad I can eat Chipotle and not feel that way. Now Casa Bonita...that place....*shudders*
Oh yes, it's real. The South Park creators did their research, everything like the cave, the divers, the little red flag for more sopapillas is true. It's kinda like a mexican buffet. Hah I went there with my family, (for the younger kids) this summer... and let's just say everyone was using the bathroom, and it was so smelly....sick. Oh and yes the restaurant is actually pink outside.
Yep, there's the cliff divers, the waterfall, the mini shows with bad actors. You can actually sit in "secret bungalows" there's tables behind the waterfall, there's the puppet show, arcade room....all of it. All tucked away in a big pink building. But what I love about SP is they show liquor stores all around Casa Bonita, Ha it's so true! Liquor store, liquor store, Casa Bonita more liquor stores... But I guess that's what you get for having a business on Colfax.
I can't believe Casa Bonita is a real thing. I mean seriously, I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around this.
Hah I thought pretty much everyone was aware it was real after that episode. As a CO resident for my whole life, yes Casa Bonita is REAL! And it's only cool when you're a kid. Ha.
