Chipotle vs Qdoba
This is a grilled vegetable burrito smackdown. Now this is not a McDonalds (Chipotle) vs Jack in the Box (Qdoba) thing. If the burrito scale goes from 1 to 10... The 10 goes to... drum roll... Chipotle! I would hold Qdoba's burrito at an 8.5. The devil is in the details. The said details are the type of vegetables that are grilled, the hot sauce and rice. Chipotle's grilled veggies are mostly onions and peppers and Qdoba's are mostly squashes. The hot sauces are a side extra but make a big difference to me. Chipotle uses the Tabasco Brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce and Qdoba sports the wood topped Cholula brand Hot Sauce.
Lastly, the rice seemed just a bit fluffier at Chipotle. Both burritos are the best the I.E. has to offer so enjoy either if one is close to your lunch plans.
