A recent trend in fast food is to make things fresher, bigger, and better. These three restaurants are leading the way in the fast casual burrito market. So which one is the best?
Chipotle: Excellent burritos.
QDoba: Queso sauce.
Panchero’s: Fresh tortillas.
See who wins, after the break.
Chipotle: They have excellent burritos but that is really all they have. I guess they have some tacos and you can buy bags of chips too. I’m pretty surprised at their success compared to the other two chains considering their lack of selection. Their lack of queso sauce is a real downer.
QDoba: Queso, queso, queso. Queso on your burrito, or your nachos, or your quesadilla. QDoba used to be all about the queso, but they recently started charging for it. Excellent otherwise.
Panchero’s: The hometown favorite, and in my opinion, the champion of the “fresh mex” dining category. In addition to their menu that dwarfs Chipotle, their delicious queso sauce, and their amazing fresh tortillas (seriously, they start out as a ball of dough and are cooked right in front of you), they have one thing that I haven’t seen at any other restaurant. That thing is Bob. Bob is the little tool they use to mix up your burrito ingredients.
People are very passionate about their burritos, so let me know why you think I’m an idiot for not choosing Chipotle in the comments.
I live in Champaign, Illinois, where all three are located and I have had them all a number of times. You are an idiot for not picking Chipotle.
I’ve had all three and it’s CLEARLY Panchero’s. The big thing that sets it apart(other than fresh pressed tortillas) is their Queso which is just amazing and I put on everything there. So good choice and anyone stating otherwise is an idiot, with an idiot douche name.
