At first I was unsure if I should go to a chain restaurant. After all, those hoighty toighty restaurant critics don't go to Wendy's to see if the burgers presented in squares as advertised or in slightly less appetizing polygons. Then again, this ain't a hoighty toighty blog, and Chipotle isn't your average restaurant chain.
With hundreds of locations across the country, the chain has recieved enough notoriety to recieve a mention on South Park in case you missed it. But even though Cartman finds blood in his underwear after ending at Chipotle, you're not going to find anything other than a flavorful Mexican fast food feast.
For this review, I went to the Chipotle in South Nashua a few times, and each time it was packed despite varying times of day and week. Their fare is simple: six kinds of dishes :burritos, burrito bowls, fajita burritos, crispy tacos, soft tacos and salad, and five types of meats you can put inside: steak, chicken, barbacoa (shredded beef), carnitas (braised pork) and none of the above (the vegetarian option).
If you're a tree hugging hipster, all the animals are humanely treated and the decor is a stainless steel/south of the border neuveau chic, so you'll feel cool for eating there, but if you're an All-American chowhound, the burritos are about the size of a professional wrestler's bicep, so there's that.
No matter what choice you go with burrito-wise, you will be happy, but I strongly suggest the chicken and adding in the guacamole, that dollop of dead avacados is worth the extra $1.50.
Price: Just above $10 with guacamole and a drink
Time of Day: Various
Speed of Service: Various, although it's quick once you get through the line. It's about a minute per person in line give or take.
