Quick, but not fast food: Chipotle

Chances are, if we’ve had lunch together more than a couple times, then one of those times has been at Chipotle.  I’m a sucker for stuff wrapped in a tortilla, especially when that stuff has a good bit of rice, black beans, steak or chicken, pico de gallo, lettuce, and cheese. It’s fresh, it’s fast, hasn’t been sitting on a heating wrack, and never fails to fill me. It’s one of my favorite places for a quick, and filling, bite.

If you’re going to Sugar House, the parking is in the back, unless you are lucky enough to slip into one of the two street parking spaces in the front.  If not, just turn north on the street just west of Chipotle off of 2100 S. then park in the lot behind the bank there.

The location also features outdoor seating, covered, and with heating in case you want to eat out, even when it’s cold.

Check out locations near you. Don’t forget to get the black beans!
