It's usually pickled veggies and lots of bbq meat. They're like 2-3 bucks. Definition of awesome.

Chipotle is overrated. I'm sure this place will be too. But whatever, I'm spoiled given my location.

maybe...

Is there any good mexican food in norcal?

Haven't tried it yet (obviously), but damn that's expensive for what seems like a mediocre banh mi.

Go get some of this instead:

I get a steak bowl with guac there for around $10 and I'm good for an entire day. That's a pretty good deal to me, considering the quality of the ingredients is pretty damn good.

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
For once living in DC is a benefit!

I think I'm gonna hit this place up this weekend.

Chipotle is pretty weak, at least by comparison to the mexican food places where I live. One of the perks of living in socal I guess.

You're doing it wrong.
No other fast food place, except for maybe Chinese places, give you as much food for the price of a chipotle burrito. And you can call it overrated or garbage or whatever, but you at least know the "meat" you're eating isn't mostly made of non-meat ingredients

Lol, this in the DC/VA area? There are so many places that you can get banh mi for in the VA areas. Maybe it's good for people living in the DC that don't want to go anywhere else. But for $7 it's a ripoff. They are usually around $3-3.50 when I get them.

Except for the other couple of burrito chains that offer basically the same size :p

Not that I'm ripping on chipotle - I had lunch there on Monday - but let's not get crazy.

Because essentially, it is.

In any case I wouldn't mind having more fast food places with Tofu as an option.

Chipotle sucks!

I'll bet this place gives me fiery diarrhea as well. Damn it all to hell. I'd rather keep my $7 than go through that again.

The vegetables is what make banh mi really good. Those are just fresh parsleys, but the radish and and carrot are pickled, which makes them really good and flavorful.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Anyone ever been to a chain called Mama Fu's? This reminds me of that for some reason, and I think Mama Fu's is aight.

Lol. Lived in norcal. Tried a bunch of mexican food. They're all a joke compared to socal mexican food.

The banh mi looks disgusting but I'm curious about the bowl. They are expensive as fuck though, and someone who is used to $2.50-$3.50 banh mi, these better be good.

The one thing I really enjoy at Chipotle is their steak. It's fat and juicy, you don't really get steak like that at traditional mexican places or taco trucks, usually it's chopped asada. Not traditional by any means but fuck it.

It's a staple in SoCal taquerias, particularly in San Diego. Get your shit in line.

Lettuce isn't a regular ingredient in our burritos up north, and sour cream is a common option in both NorCal and SoCal. Usually put in to help soften the kick of hot sauce, which is why I don't ask for it.

Weak retort, you're obviously just jealous of the cultural significance and impact the Mission-style San Francisco burrito has had on society.

And there are more Del Tacos in SoCal than in NorCal. I blame its slow proliferation up north on SoCal.

Disappointed GAF when you talk about Chipotle.

I'll give this new chain a try although I'll keep my expectations low.
