You aren’t missing anything.
So Cal has so much lovely Mexican food I don’t know why any one would go to a chipoltes there.
And that is why I never go near a Chipotle. We have sooooo many really good Mexican places to choose from that it just seems stupid to me to go to a Chipotle. Of course my relatives in Arkansas think Chuy’s is Mexican food. lol I don’t go there either.
