Barbecoa, black beans, hot salsa & cheese, please.


During the fall of 2007, I spent a few weeks in our Denver office for a special project. If you've ever been to Denver, you know that you can get a burrito at a different place everyday of the week within a one mile radius. Well, maybe not, but there is no shortage of Tex-mex restaurants in the city. On that note, it is the home of the Chipotle franchise. I ate lunch here every other day and this is where their burritos captured my heart. After returning home, I quickly realized how few good Tex-mex restaurants we have here. So a few months ago, I emailed the corporate office, and politely requested a Chipotle in the greater West Chester area. Little did I know that they were already in the process of building one located only 1 mile from my house. Here's the location:

Obviously the Google Streetview is a little dated - now there's a nice brand new red strip-mall-esque building to house the new Chipotle. They are definitely creating a buzz in the area. They provided free food to the Henderson High School teachers on Tuesday. Yesterday, they ran a fundraiser for the high school seniors ($5 burritos with all proceeds to the class). And today, they were selling burritos at 100% off. FREE! Needless to say, I went for lunch and dinner. I may have to return tomorrow for the free t-shirt and burrito card for the first 100 customers after 3pm. If you've never been, make sure to visit soon. You can't go wrong with the Barbacoa (shredded beef) or Carnitas (shredded pork). Ole!
