Chipotle's carnitas with their salsa verde is pretty darn good. I wish one of these burrito joints would offer Queso Fresco as an option instead of shredded cheese. It would be so much better.
Culvers is the best fast food restaurant

And you are really adamant that a burrito restaurant started in iowa city as a place for drunk college kids to eat after the bars close is some kind of 4 star, authentic mexican cuisine...? Meat, cheese and sauce in a flour tortilla. That's all it is, no matter where you go.
Get the Quesarrito at Chipotle. They will refuse to make it for you between 11-1:30pm and 5pm-8pm but it is amazing. It is one of their "secret menu" items. But you have to tell them how to make it because it isn't a wildly popular secret menu like In-N-Out.
Basically they make a full size cheese quesadilla and then use the quesadilla as the shell for your burrito. So the outside of your burrito is this magnificent melted cheese concoction with the beautiful insides of a Chipotle burrito.
Also my go-to order is: Double Wrap burrito, quad rice, both beans, fajitas, double barbecoa, pico, hot salsa, corn, lots of cheese, lettuce.

The only time I go to Qdoba is on taco-tastic Tuesdays. (So like, right now) Otherwise Chipotle is the way to go.
As far a value goes, hard to beat this
Is writing "$5 buck" redundant? Kind of like "$5 dollars"? Wouldn't either "$5" or "5 buck" work?
Everybody hypes Chipotle so when it came to Ames I gave it a couple honest tries. Maybe it was too much hype, but I wasn't impressed and still prefer Pancheros. I will admit Chipotle has more flavorful meat but that was the only good thing about it. No queso, crappy tortilla, costs more, smaller burrito. Pacheros all day for me.
I laugh at your smaller burrito... My old Chipotle used to weigh mine after they made it. Averaged around 4 pounds.
Also... **** that Bob thing. I hate my burrito **** getting mixed up. I love being able to take just a bite of rice. Or go back and forth with the warmness of the rice/meat and the coldness of the cheese/salsa/lettuce. When it is all mixed up, the meat/rice is cold and the cheese/salsa/lettuce is warm.
The meat is the main reason why I think Pancheros is horrible. Chipotle's meat is much better. Freebirds meat is even better than that. I get the burrito bowls so I have not had the tortilla. And I don't get much Cheese on mine. I do agree that the Salsa is better at Pancheros, but did not make up for how bad the meat was. I have only had Qdoba a couple of times and it was good. I have not had the others.
This is awesome. I have heard about the Qaesarrito on the web, but never seen anyone actually claim to have successfully ordered it. It looks like I need to make an off-hours trip to my locale Chipotle to throw down with this bad boy.
I bet it cost like $15 too. A normal burrito at Chipotle is smaller and costs more.
I forgot about the bob..thats another reason why I prefer Pancheros. Get to taste all of the deliciousness in every bite combined together. Your not taking a bit of rice, a bite of beans, a bit of sour cream, then a bite of meat.
