Although Chipotle is well-known for seldomly adding new items to its menu, it's hard to believe the burrito chain still doesn't serve a queso cheese dip to pair with its tortilla chips or to dump all over a burrito bowl at your local outpost. But there's a good chance that may change sometime soon, now that the company has officially revealed it is making queso for the first time. Finally.

Yes, really -- queso at Chipotle. On Monday, Chipotle execs showed off the highly anticipated hot cheese dip and a few other all-new menu items at the chain's newly opened public test kitchen-restaurant hybrid called Chipotle NEXT Kitchen in NYC's Meatpacking District, according to a report by Eater. The cheesy tortilla chip companion is officially dubbed Genuine Queso and you can order it with chips, in a cup on the side, or as another ingredient in your burrito, burrito bowl, or order of tacos at the special location as part of the company's test launch. Unfortunately, that's the one and only Chipotle where you can get it. At least, it is for now.

IDGAF give me a goddamn breakfast burrito goddamnit

 

[Dishwalla]

Trying to catch up to Moe's eh?

 

[Sanjuro]

Trying to catch up to Qdoba eh?

 

[jwk94]

Trying to catch up to Moe's eh?

I think you mean based Qdoba.

 

[The Cool One]

I think you mean based Qdoba.

I think you mean Hot Heads

 

[FloatOn]

Yeah I'd fuck with this

 

[LucidMomentum]

CAN I DIP MY QUESARITO IN IT?

 

[snacknuts]

Trying to catch up to Qdoba eh?

Yeah, man.

Qdoba > Chipotle by a country mile.

 

[LQX]

I'd pay $30 for that and drink it like soup.

 

[finalflame]

Yeah I'd fuck with this

same

Also Qdoba got nothing on Moe's. I won a year of free Moe's once back in college (52 burritos + drink + chips + queso, so one a week for a year) because I sat outside to be one of the first 50 people at the grand "re-opening" of our local franchise. So fucking worth. Still wasn't tired of eating Moe's by the time I burned through that card.

 

[Neverfade]

The queso is the only thing worth fucking with at any of these chains. Smart move.

 

[Attack You]

Chipotle never had a queso dip option? Now I really don't regret never setting foot in one.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Queso is love.

 

[TheCochese]

Still ain't going to have shit on Willys.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Still not worth the E.coli or risk of stolen identity.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Finally.

 

[ghostofsparta]

The cheese is called queso

 

[purg3]

It's about time. Curious to see if it's better than Qdoba's.

 

[Arthos]

Now if they only offered sauces. The Teriyaki sauce from Boloco is crazy good.

 

[Haines]

I can't go to Chipotle.

They put too much of that soap tasting garnish in everything.

I can manage at Qdoba.

Yes I know it's only like 10 percent that taste it.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yeah, man.

Qdoba > Chipotle by a country mile.

Pretty much.

Chipotle is basically lower quality everything, and they give you shit when you ask to have your burrito toasted. Also, mass poisoning.

FUCKEM!

 

[Jarate]

Chipotle has the best steak and rice out of any of the chains, and their hot chili sauce is fucking incredible. That's all that really matters

 

[thefragrance]

When did "genuine queso" become a thing? Kay-so is not some Mexican delicacy much less a genuine one. People of America: sometimes just call shit by their name. In this case cheese dip or highly processed, heavily dyed dip with cheese flavor if you're feeling pedantic. Also, if you insist on calling it "queso," make an effort to pronounce it right. White people love to get the pronounciatiom right for French words, but for Spanish words it's not worth anyone's time.

Say it with me: chee-poh-tleh, keh-soh

What's that?

 

[weepy]

IDGAF give me a goddamn breakfast burrito goddamnit

Well I do. More queso, por favor.

 

[Dynomutt]

IDGAF give me a goddamn breakfast burrito goddamnit

This would suck for the employee's lol simple is good too.

 

[The Cool One]

What's that?

its basically chipotle but with sauces

 

[mhayes86]

But how much will it cost to add it to your order?

 

[Lys Skygge]

I don't understand the love for Qdoba around here, it fucking sucks! It's so goddamn bland.

I'm excited for anything new from Chipotle.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I wonder if this will even come close to Torchy's queso. But I think I already know the answer.

Cheese dip is totally different.

They just debuted chorizo queso, BTW.

 

[Frozenprince]

And it's only $40 extra.

The whole reason that Chipotle hasn't offered queso in the past is that part of their schtick is about having "ethical" food. Locally sourced ingredients. No artificial flavors or dyes. No antibiotics. Even anti-GMO now. Stuff like that. I believe it was their "no preservatives" rule in particular that was the killer for queso.

I suppose what they're probably doing now is making their queso in-house at the restaurant daily. That's probably going to cost a lot of extra prep time, but maybe they're finally coming around to the idea that they need queso to stop their competitors from nipping at their heels.

Word

 

[MikeOfAllTrades]

I will always take a good pico or guac vs cheese dip with my chips. I just wish they had diced jalapenos available on the line.

 

[BotoxAgent]

I don't understand the love for Qdoba around here, it fucking sucks! It's so goddamn bland.

I am not too crazy about chipotle but Qdba really fuckin sucks

 

[reKon]

is it finally happening???

 

[krameriffic]

I find that these chains all have terrible consistency problems. Store to store, visit to visit, I never know what I'm gonna get.

 

[Saganator]

About fucking time. Last week I was at Qdoba telling my friend I haven't been to Chipotle in years because they don't have queso.

 

[Wood Man]

Early Chipotle was great. But the quality dropped big time. I haven't been back since their e. coli scare a few years ago.

 

[zelas]

Might as well go full taco bell if they're gonna start putting that crap on burritos.

 

[DrFunk]

trumps america everybody

Boo hoo

Anyways, I saw a Wendy's commerical getting into the queso thing as well too

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

But how much will it cost to add it to your order?

That's the hard hitting question.

 

[rrs]

did chipotle take their chips off a warming tray yet
