    Am I missing something here? I was going to go to chipotle today until I saw on here that a steak burrito was 1000 calories. There was no way I was going to put 1000 calories for dinner into my mouth for ONE burrito. Did I miss something?
    Possibly. Skip the tortilla shell (get a burrito bowl instead), cheese, sour cream and guac.

    Actually, you should skip the sour cream and cheese as well as the tortilla. Load up on fajita veggies and some beans. Their cheese is all but tasteless.

    Actually you don't have to skip out on anything as long as it fits in your calories.

    No you didn't miss anything.

    You can get a burrito and save half for later.. nothing says you have to eat the whole thing in one sitting.

    Unless you have a lot of calories left over, then you can eat the whole thing.. but you'd be pretty stuffed.

    I get 3 steak tacos with lettuce, cheese and sour cream.. comes out to like 665 calories or something for all 3.

    being hispanic i grew up eating, pico de gallo, rice, beans, tortillas, grilled meat mixed in with foods, etc., so i never really could say I craved or even went out of my way for Chip, also the lines can be ridicoulous, and yeah, they do move pretty fast.

    however, their bowls are money if you are watching your weight cause they pack a punch and the place is cheap.

    got to say away from the tortillas though, i think one by themselves is over 300 calories.

    lol ... this place can kill you. the key is to get the bowls, stay away from sour cream, cheese and guacamole.

    There are tastier ways to get your calories at Chipotle than sour cream and cheese. The tastes get lost among the much more flavorful options. The only reason to maybe add a little sour cream would be for texture.

    Used to adore Chipotle until the last time I was there...took forever to get waited on (not a busy time), and the girl came back to the register from taking care of the garbage, DID NOT WASH HER HANDS, and picked up my pod and handed it to me.

    Nope, not going back.
