Poll of the Day > Chipotle Carne Asada SUCKs!!!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

WTH?

Seriously.

WTH!!!

Ok, so I saw comericals online and I was like, hmmmm, I like me some carne asada, but to get it delivered from uber out here was mega expensive, so I have not tried it for weeks. I went into town today to vote and get some supplies and stopped at Chipotle.

That was some seriously sawdust tasting, dry assed, leather like carne asada.

OMG

Ok, now, I don't get rice, and I don't get beans (which drops the price $1.50 and then extra steak is $4.50 more so I get just about double steak for $3. That is my norm. I don't (well didn't I have not had chipotle in over a year at this point) eat at chipotle much cause I never really liked their steak.

But I got the same thing with the carne toda and OMG. I forced myself to eat it since it was like $15 and I was hungry (And about to go shopping...never a good idea), but it was a chore. It shouldn't be a chore to eat something that cost $15.

I don't get how anyone eats that crap and why how, it came back cause I believe the comercials said it was back by popular demand).

Who was it popular with? Demons? Tax collectors? Lawyers?

Seriously who likes that crap, at least the steak was edible.

I wasn't a fan of the carne asada the one time I tried it, but I didn't hate it as much as you seem to. Last time I saw Chipotle's carne asada brought up here, most PotDers were in favor of it. I might give it another try at some point, but it's not something I'm clamoring to do.

I mean, it's possible it had just been sitting there for a LONG time and if you get it freash it doesn't taste as bad. This one was at a mall and there are not many people going to malls right now, so there were only 3 other people getting food (and none of them got the carne asada, in fact one got no meat at all).

I honestly can't believe it's that bad all the time, cause I swear, I have eaten cardboard (yep I have eaten cardboard) that tasted better. Even WITH two kinda of salsa it was dry as hell.

It was not resting in any sauce at all, just dry in a pan, and probably (considering the size of the pan and the amount they still had left in it) had been for hours. PErhaps if eaten within like 30 minutes of being prepared it would well...taste a bit better at least. I doubt it was ever "good" though.

I sure as hell am not going to give it another shot. That was maybe 1/2 a pound of meat for $15 (if that much) and it tasted worse then the cheapest meat you can buy in the store that you then cut up and roasted in the over for 15 minutes before making a burrito with it.

You got some bad carne asada. We love it.

Damn

Freaking figures.

It looked good in the adds and I can't believe people would eat that on purpose regularly

So I kinda figured it was probably just sitting out too long etc because not many people were eating there.

I really wanted a good burrito as well, I coulda gone other places I know are good, but the commercials made me want to try theirs. Now I STILL want a good burrito but I won't be heading back into town for over a week (maybe much longer). I only went in today because I had to vote.

GRRRRRR

DAMMIT

I like it. I've had legitimately good carne asada at family gatherings, being that I'm hispanic and all. Chipotle is never gonna top the homemade stuff but I think it's good. I love me some Chipotle.

My wife was half hispanic but sadly didn't cool. That being said, I did travel to mexico and DAMN I miss that food (a buncha times when younger). I dream about the street tacos still lolz. I used to make the ABSOLUTE BEST tacos in CA cause they had REALLY REALLY good Flat Iron/Skirt Steak for sale there. The key was the meat was soooo freaking good to start, then I seasoned it and bbq'd it and god damn those tacos were insane.

Can't make em nearly as good here in WA sadly, nor can you find a really good mexican restraunt either sigh. I miss CA so much but every time I look and contemplate moving back, the prices to live there keep going up. Freaking renting a room most places in the Bay Area seems to be over $1000 a month now!! *cry*

I love me some good tacos, but there is something about another person making tacos for you, that makes them taste better lol.

Everything taste better when another person makes it for you for some reason. My girlfriend swears my grilled cheese is amazing, but it's literally just bread, butter, and one type of cheese.
