Ramona: Chicken burrito with all the fixings, diet coke

Jim: Chicken tacos with all the fixings, iced tea

Another quick dinner was in order tonight because of another meeting to attend. By chance, I had gotten an e-mail offering a free burrito to Baylor faculty so we decided to go to Chipotle. A lot of my coworkers had the same idea!

I asked for fewer items on my burrito this time and Jim decided to try the tacos instead. We were both stuffed by the time we finished the meal. The only problem with this restaurant is its size. I think they should have bought a bigger building!

This was our first visit to this restaurant that recently opened in Waco, though I had visited one elsewhere. The crowd has died down a little, but it was still very busy. A small restaurant with little sitting room leads one to eat quickly and get out so others waiting for a table can get a seat. This is probably a restaurant best suited for lunch for this reason.

Chipotle prides itself on using meats from animals that are raised naturally, without hormones or antibiotics and are fed a vegetarian diet. It's a simple menu: burritos, bowl, soft tacos, crispy tacos, or salad. You just tell them which meat you want (chicken, steak, carnitas, barbacoa -- or make it vegetarian) and which fixings to include (4 kinds of salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pinto or black beans, cilantro-lime rice). You follow along the brief line as their staff load it up to your liking. Chips and salsa or guacamole are extras if you wish. We were filled up by the chicken burritos alone.

Are we seeing a new trend in the McKeown household? Jim is starting to enjoy Mexican food, which is just fine with me!
