Chipotle surprises with tasty bowl
Chipotle has always been a restaurant that lots of students around here enjoy. However, Mexican food has never been my forte of expertise and I have never even had a burrito. And so it was off to Chipotle for my latest culinary crusade.
The first time I went to Chipotle I chickened out of getting a bowl and got a quesadilla instead. I was severely judged by my friends to say the least. And for my second attempt, I went for it and ordered the bowl.
As I was progressing the line, it came to my attention that both varieties of rice had cilantro. Sadly for me, I despise cilantro. Luckily, the employee who was taking my order brought out plain white rice for me.
Before taking my first bite I hesitated, contemplating whether I should take the bite or not. But I finally did it and to my surprise, I loved it. It was tasteful, delightful and now I finally understand why people enjoy Chipotle.
With every journey, there are always clear expectations, but this time to my shock, I truly enjoyed the Chipotle bowl.
