Sorry for the quality, not sure why there's not a better one out there.

Pepperjax is good? I have heard of it before, will have to try it out as it is opening soon across from Valley West Mall.
That old Taco Bell was my go-to when I didn't get off campus till late and needed food. Dunkin Donuts will be popular too, though.
Pepperjax decimates all! But only an true Omaha-ian would know that!:smile:
I think a lot of people are thinking of the FB of old. When they opened in the early part of this century when I was in school, it was a force of nature. Huge burritos, cool people, great location (for me living on Campus Ave), just super delicious as a whole. Now it's been Matt Goodman'ed into sucking.
I'm not a Chipotle hater or lover, however how does yet another restaurant of the same type really add much to Ames? I don't get the location and good grief, it's on the same exact road as Panchero's only about a mile away!
I completely agree about the Flying Burrito to Fighting Burrito downfall. I used to get FB all the time when it opened and it was awesome. Moved out of state for a couple years, came back, saw the name was changed and the food isn't close to what it was. Plus a little pricier too I believe.
There can only be one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Personally I see Chipotle winning.
I guess its gone farther down than i thought. It started going downhill while i was there (i was 03-07, so was there before goodman bought it), but i guess its gotten much worse from what everyone says.
It's not like you're going to go puke from eating it, it just seems like the ingredients never seem fresh, meat is not warm at all, etc.
Fighting Burrito is absolute dog crap. Whoda thunk that food doesn't taste very good when it's burned. Meat always burned. Rice always undercooked. I'd rather eat a Jack's pizza everyday of the week.
Flying/Fighting Burrito is good......when you're too drunk to know what you're eating.
Pepperjax goes #1 in my book!

Exactly, I used to go out of my way to get it. I was at Mickey's after the OU game last november and walked right on by like I would an old college girlfriend who had gotten fat.
I would agree with this. My roommates and I would always be jealous if someone got a double wrap the burrito because the first one split open do to so much food in it. That's when you knew you got your money's worth.
Didn't they tear down that abandoned Hardee's building about a decade ago and build a Panera on top of it?
Never had Flying/Fighting Burrito, just wasn't open when I graduated a decade ago.
I would rate it as Panchero's>Chipotle>Qdoba. I've very rarely had Qdoba that I've actually liked. It's either been greasy nastiness or dried out nastiness.
