Hopkins Chipotle < GV Chipotle

Decided to swing and see what the fuss was all about. Turns out people must like crappy parking and low meat rations. Saw another Scooby in the lot - silver WRX sedan with modz. Did not see owner. Curious as to why one McMexico's food would be that much weaker in its sauce than another.

GRADE: FAIL-

 

The gv one is hit or miss. i personally like the ford parkway one

 

the best ive had is brooklyn center/park but hopkins makes them HUGE if you ask for it

 

It's all good. I love me some chicken soft tacos. I was envisioning heaping piles of charred pollo flesh but came away nonplussed.

 

oh and the maple grove one wins pretty hard

 

Hopkins rocks hardcore, you must have gone in there with an attitude

 

Yes.

The one on Washington Ave just east of the U of Mn makes fantastically huge burritos, too.

 

I would like to thank this thread...i am now eating chipotle because of it. ummmm tasty!

 

go for two!

 

wait i don't understand
your thread title says the GV one is better than the Hopkins one yet you seem to like Hopkins one...

 

^^ haha
pwnt by the maths.

 

The GV Chipotle is the worst ones in the city. Consitantly the skimpiest on everything, a generally ****ish staff, and not a great seating area.
The best, IMHO is the Ford parkway Chipotle in St paul. The 7 corners chipotle's good too.
Note however, that chipotle's are always nicer to "regulars."
If you go enough and you tip, they'll give you bigger portions of everything.
Except Golden valley. I actually refuse to go to that one.

But I would note there is nothing than sitting outside at the lake a calhoun one on a nice summer day. Everything is right about that. It also has a huge parking lot and you can park in the back and avoid door dings.

 

^ Clahoun is one of the best it has a nice patio...i believe that it is one of the first chipotles in mn too.

 

this!

 

lake elmo's burrito = 2 anywhere else in the metro's burrito

 

I don't think I could eat two....uke: that wold be sickening.. that and I don't get burritos I usually get tacos. I heard Bee cold eat 2 though...

 

Or you could just get an actually good burrito at Burrito Loco.

 

Rochester north is great every time

 

we have a winner, i think i need to try this place sometime.

 

If i want real mexican food I'll get some al pastor down on Lake Street
If I want a giant Chipotle Burrito, I got to Chipotle.
Chipotle is not mexican food, its just awesome food.

 

Ford parkway
Downtown Minneapolis
and then Calhoun

But Calhoun does have the best people watching

 

especially when warmer whether comes around...bikinis :yumyum:

 

Yes, me and some friends call it "scenery"

 

Have you been to the "Loco?" I specifically didn't say Mexican food, I said burrito. Try it, and your mouth will thank you while it enjoys a burrito that actually tastes like something other then white rice and lettuce.

 

i say this is best

 

yeah im there all the time in the summer on my crotch rocket....:biggrin:

 

I think i'm one of the few people (on this site anyway) that isn't too terribly impressed with Chipotle. I like it fine, its just ... I don't understand the fascination. It's a goddamned burrito. Maybe it's because i don't eat burritos? Who knows .. but you guys are totally beyond obsessed.

 

Yes, we have problems.

 

its simple, burritos are good, big burritos are better, big burritos at a reasonable price are awesome

 

i work at northstar lacrosse two doors down from there!!

 

I used to love Chipotle, for a few months, but then they must have changed their sauce, cuz that new sauce is not leet sauce, it is infact stomach-upset sauce.

P.S. Anyone venture down to Shakopee? if so GO to TACO LOCO NOW, they have some of the best mom-n-pop real Mexican food stuffs. It is located right off 101, and take a right on 69(not left towards Super America), in a former Dairy Queen building. They are out of Illinois. And if you like a sit-down restraunt, go to Pablos in Shakopee, that place is family owned/operated, been going there with my own family for numerous years.

 

both of those places are pretty good actually
