I am going there in a few hours and have never been there before ..I want something satisfying without going crazy. What do you get when you go?

    I normally do a salad, no dressing, no rice, extra chicken or steak, salsa, cheese, sour cream and guac. All of that is under 500 calories and so filling! :)

    I get a salad with Barbacoa, Fajita veggies, Black beans, corn, tomatoes and red tomatillo salsa. Skip the rice and tortillas and save hundreds of calories.

    Their dressing is awesome, but you don't need it if you have lots of salsa. I take the dressing home with me and eat it with raw spinach later in the week.

    The health difference in white rice vs. brown is minimal.

    Stay away from the chips. Also, the hard tacos are pretty good. If you like soft tacos, the flour tortillas aren't that bad.

    Chicken tacos! They come in servings of 3 tacos, but really 2 is all you need. I still haven't figured out if / how you can order 2.

    ETA: corn tortillas, in generally better than flour.

    I'm a Chipotle addict. (but I've been good, haven't eaten there in a week or two now!) Get a burrito bowl instead of the tortilla. The tortillas taste awesome, but are pretty high in calories and carbs.

    OMG I didn't know they have brown rice at Chipotle, I MUST TRY THIS! I'm a huge Chipotle fan, I haven't gone in quite awhile because I switched jobs, but I think its awesome they offer brown rice now. All I can say about what to eat/not eat is DO NOT EAT THE TORTILLA AND DON'T ADD CHEESE. =0)

    I'll repeat the burrito bowl suggestion. I normally just get 1/2 the rice if I get it at all. And all the veggies! You can totally watch them put in stuff - so just tell them "just a little" of the splurge items - they will add little bits of time looking at you to tell them when to stop --- if I feel the need for gauc I do this (yes, I know its good fat and lots of other good stuff --- but it's also lots of calories!)

    I ate there for the first time ever about a month ago, and I wasn't that impressed. I got the burrito bowl with chicken. I guess it was OK, but I've definitely had better and would definitely prefer to spend my calories another way. By the way, their rice has a lot of cilantro in it, so if you don't like cilantro just keep that in mind!

    I get the soft tacos. We don't have a chipotle where I currently live (but I had one where I grew up and went to college) and I REALLY miss it. It's a great "treat" food that isn't really all that bad for you. The tacos are around 650 calories for what I get- it's pretty high in fat but if you work it into your day it's no problem. Definitely avoid the chips, and if you get a burrito only eat half. I like the tacos because it's plenty of food and you can eat all of it without feeling too guilty! I find only eating half of the burrito is too hard!

    Love love love Chipotle pulled pork tacos. I'm going there as soon as I can afford it for my next "cheat meal" lol. I think I'll try the hard tacos this time though. I usually go with black beans, sour cream, no cheese, guac, lettuce, and the corn salsa. But it would be nice if they had brown rice! :) I want to try the spicy salsa too.

    Edit: I forgot! When I get tacos I don't get rice. lol.

    I hadn't eaten there in years but they recently opened one in the bigger city surrounding us so hopefully I can try the bowl as well!
