Eating at Chipotle

Ranking: Value - 4 out of 5; Dad Fun Factor - 4 out of 5; Kid Fun Factor - 4 out of 5

We don't eat out very often (as you can see from the posts on taking food to every activity we do) but when we do go out we're picky. We aren't at a point in the boys' lives that we want to hit the top notch restaurants yet. They aren't ready to sit through a long service at all and would simply implode. So we hit the spots that are kid friendly. I don't mean to push any one place over another but one that I really like is Chipotle. We started going there about 5 years ago while living in Kansas City. Here's what I like. One, we order it at the counter and not from a waitress. That's a big plus when we're looking to eat now and not in 20 minutes. The second is the simplicity of the foods. Jack, my 4 year-old, calls the place "Chicken-Rice-and Beans" and for a good reason. That's all he wants and that's all he gets. Mom and I get some pretty complicated burritos and that's what we like. The second thing we like about Chipotle is the price. It's not cheap by any means but we can all eat really, really well for $22. One word of caution. They have high chairs out the wazoo but not a single booster. We always take our own for Jack. Easy fix. If you haven't tried it maybe give it a shot. I like a ton of other places but this is one of the consistent winners for us.
