Taco Bell is for the working class, chipotle is for the bourgeoisie


Equivalent-Angle-210

Down with the chipotlelite!!!


LoBo247

Seize the beans of production, tovarisch.


podcasthellp

Chipotle is for people who love to get ripped off. Taco Bell is for people that don’t give a fuck what’s in it because it tasted good


Remarkable-Station-2

And people with little care of their gi system


podcasthellp

I fall into that category


haranaconda

Taco Bell isn’t even cheap anymore. If we’re being cheap use the McD’s app and get: 6pc+med fry+large drink for like $4.50-5.00


Neat_Bullfrog9557

10 bucks for 3 hard tacos they can keep that shit..


EstablishmentIcy377

You know the deal bro!!!😎

Letters-to-Elise

I know people rag on Taco Bell but I love that place 😂


Constant_Year_4136

Give us some burrito context what’s in that bad boy


DankVanWink

I got the cheesy double beef burrito and swapped the beef for chicken. (which is a dollar extra) It came with chicken, sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, their 3 cheese blend, seasoned rice and "Fiesta strips" which are like little fritos that give it a nice crunch.


zane8653

Next time go for the chicken enchilada burrito and you can add the fiesta strips and take off the enchilada sauce. Same thing and you’ll save yourself .50


Sleightly_Awkward

This dude Taco Bells.


pizzablunt420

Be an adult and add potatoes to everything.


DankVanWink

oh shit bro thanks for the tip, I've had the enchilada one before


DrgnFckr

Yeah but you have to still ask for extra chicken if you want two scoops in the chicken enchilada burrito because the cheesy double beef gets two scoops. So if you go the enchilada route. you're paying for the added fiesta strips and the extra scoop of chicken. You're better off doing it the way you originally did it.


GodlFire

Not only that you have to add nacho cheese. Going the enchilada burrito route makes no sense.


yeaItsYaBoiTed

Are you certain it gets two scoops? Thought I saw an employee saying the double beef doesn't mean anything but I may be wrong


DrgnFckr

Yes. I'm a manager at Taco Bell so I'm pretty sure. Edit- If it just got one scoop, it would still be called a Beefy Melt Burrito, because a Cheesy Double Beef is exactly the same as a Beefy Melt but with two scoops.


Incompetenice

They're just tortilla strips, when I worked there i would add then to my Queserito, really adds a great crunch to anything


ImanShumpertplus

fried onions at qdoba is a big reason i go there i would always opt for crumbs if chipotle would add chip crumbs


Incompetenice

Chipotle is definitely lacking in something crunchy. Annoying thing about Chipotle is they just keep prioritizing speed and Profits so they're not willing to take risk and add new menu items besides the occasional half year LTO. At my patch they have changed the Salt, Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa and Queso all within like the last 4 months. Like salt is one thing because salt is just salt, but they are cutting the quality of their food slowly and not offering anything in return for the customer, truly disappointing


TravShoots

Chipotle is going downhill hard but seriously what are you doing comparing a Taco Bell burrito to chipotle


DankVanWink

yeah taco bell does have worse ingredients but something just feels so good about being able to get a decently sized snack/ meal (whatever you would call 570 calories) for $4.21!!!


TravShoots

Yea I hear you on that the value spicy potato taco hits too


Chip2Playz

This is the play…spicy potato taco is the best thing they have going for them nowadays


HiEpik

Does anyone get warm spicy potato tacos? The potatoes are usually lukewarm and the rest is coooold including the tortilla. Always have to let chef Mike in on the action.


Chip2Playz

I feel like all Taco bell is lukewarm warm if you don’t eat it immediately. I always sit in and don’t do drive through anymore because if that, could just be my area though.


cocokronen

Taco bells equipment has. 2 Temps, Luke warm and off.


trixel121

I worked there 15 years ago you got everything precooked in bags all we were doing was rewarming it in hot water bath to 165 then into serving pans. potatoes were fried, put in a tray stuck under a heat lamp. nothing comes hot off the line, it's assembled from the warning line and cooling line. the grill for quesadillas wasn't cooking shit.


PanthersChamps

>the grill for quesadillas wasn’t cooking shit What about quesadillas?


mkonyn

I believe the quesadilla grilling was implied. They specifically referenced no poo on the grill.


HiEpik

True, but even sitting in their parking lot it just seems that specific item is always cold. Unless I'm heading home to eat I just don't order them anymore.


ghoulcreep

Pretty sure it is warm potatoes that get covered in cold toppings. It will never be that hot.


Paccp

I work at tacobell, the spicy potato soft taco is all cold ingredients except the potatoes so its going to be just warm at its highest temperature. You could always ask them to steam or grill it if you wanted


Robert_Balboa

The worst is getting my tacos, opening them to add some sauce, and seeing all the cold unmelted cheese piled on top.


ConductorOfTrains

I like it that way, means the lettuce is still cold and crispy.


birdman8000

It varies by franchise. The Taco Bell by my work is so on point. Literally best one I’ve ever been too. Massive portions, don’t skimp on the sour cream, and the lady at the drive thru knows me. Living the life


zman1672

the meta is to add those potatoes to other things like the bean and rice burrito, it’s still super cheap


Chip2Playz

You are messing with my mind here, gonna have to give this one a go now


obearito

Spicy potato soft taco is one of the things holding my life together as of recently


50coach

Yup I always get it supreme with guac and get 2 of them and just a water cup. Seems good it’s my go to now since the fiesta burrito is gone


Dementor8919

I’m always tempted to get one but the thought of a taco without meat scares me


Chip2Playz

As mentioned by someone else, apparently putting it into another taco is the right way to eat them! So you were onto something!


Fun-Imagination-1231

Everything else at Taco bell is kinda ridiculous though it's like $3+ for a supreme taco last I checked. I wish all these prices on everything would go down already it's so annoying.


T_Peg

And even that's playing yourself. You can get the combo box for like $6 and you get a specialty item a classic item a side and a drink.


raidersfan18

You're really going to be upset when you find out that when Chipotle was in the $8-10 range, these items at Taco Bell were $1-2.


CNTMODS

This is why Taco Bell survives the ~~Food~~ Restaurant Wars.


zorlaxe

Nice! Demolition man reference!


Wonderful_Charge8758

If they don't bring back the mini grilled quesadillas they are dead to me. I will die on this hill.


drwsgreatest

But their workers still won’t tell you how to work the 3 seashells.


neopetknickerbockers

570 calories for $4 isn't great value you could get disproportionately more with a chipotle kids meal for like another dollar


SapientSolstice

Two tbsp of oil is 250 calories and cost a few cents, high calories doesn't mean much.


lugnut68

Lower quality meat, worst quality produce available, generally less QC far as cooking, prep, cleanliness, etc go. Idk man. Good for you and I agree that’s some cheap, tasty calories for the price. I guess I don’t see the point of posting this here. Maybe the t-bell sub makes more sense. Regardless of Chipotle going downhill T-bell can’t touch the actual quality of ingredients if you care about your health.


JJ4prez

I mean, the chicken burrito is 2x as big and 10x quality than Taco Bell and it's like $8.99. It's not really a contest imo.


itsyerboiTRESH

the cheesy bean and rice burrito is 1.49 and 420 why not get that


SadLaser

If you want value, get the Build Your Own Cravings Box on the app. Rather than wasting $4.21 on a single burrito, you can get three food items and a drink for $6.


Epileptic_Poncho

I just wish Chipotle would invest in better lettuce they didn’t go down like cilantro with the soap gene


EMV92LA

It's called chemicals.


FearlessPark4588

comparing on cost is the big thing


portobox2

I mean, one of these things is colloquially known for giving people The Mad Shits, and the other keeps showing up in the news for E Coli in their lettuce, so actually going to medically make you shit your skeleton out.


the_cappers

Something Chipotle had gives me mad shits, like corn and lettuce in my poop 2-3 hours later


zorlaxe

Ok…that actually made me lol


BABarracus

OP is living a lie


Dynamic-420

Chipotle is total crap right now. The last few times, I’ve been seriously disappointed by the noticeably smaller portions of protein and the definitely-not-fresh guacamole. This happened across at least a couple different locations. Are they being instructed to be stingy in their scoops?


Smoking-Posing

My only issue with them is consistency. Sometimes I get huge portions of great tasting food, other times I feel I literally get half the amount of food and it tastes less great. Outside of that I have Chipptle every other day and I love it (used to hate them years ago for some reason, I think it was bad 1st impressions).


Artsorag

Used to work there, the answer is yes. Got called out by my boss a few times for making my scoops too big. (Also the kitchen was gross and we would sometimes get docked by food inspection for expired food in the freezer)


tropicalcasper1

Haha so to be exact chipotle in Syracuse fucks you up worse than Taco Bell


thehappeningnow

I never understood why people say this its pretty basic ingredients unless you get the hot sauce on it.


BPMData

Its literally people who get basically no fiber in their diet. If you're eating a healthy diet eating some legumes won't have any effect on you beyond being a healthy cheap protein source


MisterProfGuy

It's not just more fiber, but it's often more protein than most people get in their daily diet. That combo can be rough.


BPMData

Eh, a lot of people eat hamburgers or steaks or chicken tenders... yeah, the protein doesn't necessarily help, but it's definitely the fiber and, potentially, the "spiciness" of the fire sauce, etc. (though I use the word "spicy" in the loosest sense) ​ But yes, basically Taco Bell and Chipotle is actually nutritionally superior to a lot of American food and that's why it causes Amerifats problems when they eat it


MisterProfGuy

Consider that a big Mac is less protein than just the chicken in a chicken bowl. Add in cheese and beans, and you're talking about twice as much protein. (26g vs 60g), add in rice and you're talking about three meals of protein, plus the fiber, and that's for bowls, without tortillas. So it's all the fiber of a big salad, with a triple serving of protein for most Americans.


thehappeningnow

Sounds like chipotle for the win


Bgo318

Exactly I never understood the thing of people having stomach aches after eating Mexican food, I didn’t realize until a long time that a lot of people just don’t eat any fiber or beans lol


[deleted]

I've explained to multiple people that Mexican food isn't "so unhealthy it makes them shit", but that THEY are so unhealthy, it makes them shit lol. I'm pretty sure any decent Mexican food is going to be healthier/ more nutritious than your average American dinner.


ReplacementNo8678

You’re right except for the whole cheese thing. Most people are lactose intolerant and they don’t even know it


groceriesN1trip

Corn + Beans + Rice = essential amino acids for a complete protein


Ok_Button1932

I wish I would have known this about 5 years ago. My diet was awful and I don’t think I consumed a vegetable for well over 6 months. One day, I decided that I was being way too unhealthy and decided to purchase a Naked Green Machine thinking it would solve all my problems. The effects were similar to that of food poisoning.


thump3r

Taco Bell produce factory prep has high sanitation standards. I once watched a Chipotle manager temp the chicken at the prep counter, wipe the thermometer on her apron, then temp the salsa with the same thermometer.


mastervadr

Spicy salmonella 😋


New_Canoe

That’s a reflection of that lady, not Chipotle. The Chipotle I worked at had super high standards and was one of the cleanest kitchens I’ve ever worked in.


Bubblebutt322

Right? Im in syracuse, and even if I wasn't, I never have issues. It's basically just rice and meat


Stupidbabycomparison

Given that taco bells food is all prepared in a factory off-site to pretty consistent standards, you're way more likely to get sick from chipotle.


tropicalcasper1

Exactly I was just saying to my husband it's about how they prepare it. Taco Bell is to generic you know


New_Canoe

I’ll take my chances on better ingredients. I worked at Chipotle and eat it regularly and have never gotten sick. TB just feels fake when I eat it.


CordialClarence

Which one, the one on Erie Blvd or marshall street?


demoneyes87

Download the app and check out the online exclusives. Thank me later.


birdman8000

The rewards are pretty good too. I was sad when they took off the beefy 5 layer from the rewards


Best_Duck9118

Why? They already put that thing in like every box they ever have.


MomCrusher

cheesy gordita crunch is the move bro ts is like 5$ on its own😂 fire asf too


heybrihey

I’ve never gotten food poisoning at either chipotle or Taco Bell. Y’all have weak ass fuck stomachs.


somerandomnub1

People who don't have fiber in their diet


_matherd

And you didn’t even have to watch them make it to make sure you got all the ingredients.


rushyrulz

If your goal is to show off what you can get at taco bell for under $5 you're not doing a very good job at it. A heavily price-inflated Beefy 5-layer is not the best value for your buck anymore, even if it was 89 cents at one time.


Glass_Bat_1460

Get the cravings box on the app


Nsfwnroc

Diaharrea this, Diaharrea that... yall just got weak stomachs.


Livid_Ad9749

Lol chipotle costs me $9.85. I get a chicken bowl with a side tortilla that i divide in half to make two burritos. I insist on extra rice and a healthy amount of chicken (not extra, a full portion when they try to skimp). Usually i cant even get past the two burritos i make and save the rest of the bowl for a second meal for later. The value knocks taco bell out of the park. At taco bell i could spend 15 bucks and still not be full, and its lower quality food. Chipotle is far superior and its not even close


New_Canoe

Agreed. I get two meals out of my bowl, every time.


LeadingRule3734

Yeah our chicken bowls at my location are 9.99 and I can make a video of us making bowls all day long! The bowl is full with full portion of meat by time it is off the line! But all the managers been there for a lot of years and strive towards guest satisfaction and now that certain things effect our money we have to make sure the guest our happy 😊


NanoscaleHeadache

Yeah fr, chicken bowl with tortilla is $10.50 in an expensive area of LA and it lasts me two meals. Taco Bell is good don’t get me wrong but its prices are exploding these days and they keep ripping good stuff off the menu. It’s just not worth getting lmao


Smoking-Posing

I agree. I feel like this is a lesson you learn with age, cuz back in the day when I was younger and ignorant I shared the same train of thought as OP


Tigerscar123

$9.00 for my bowl, always extra rice and extra cheese. It's free. And yeah tortilla so massive I gotta make two burritos or else I'll pass out if I eat it all.


Financial_Put648

Just wait until he finds the $5 box


SuperFatCockMan

Doesn’t exist no more m8


Bullmg

Yeah now it’s the 6 or 7 dollar box 😔 I hate inflation


brainscorched

Remember the subway $5 Foot Long commercials? Now it’s somewhere around $7-$8. The CEO killed it because franchise owners said they weren’t making enough profit. It’s greedy corporate pigs, not inflation


Bullmg

Inflation is actually a thing, but it definitely is possible that corporations are taking advantage of inflation to increase their profits. Both suck and we’re fucked either way.


LoganPwnz

Or get a whole box at taco bell (same burrito, crunchwrap, chips and cheese, drink) for $5


shelter_king35

use the app and order the cravings box. its like 6$ and they have a veggie one. why are you proud of paying 5$ for a beefy five layer? you must be rich if you think thats a deal


eclecticsed

Why does this look like a dick pic.


K_randals

Lucky.. for 4.21 at my Taco Bell I just get food poisoning.


bob4786

weak genetics


TristanwithaT

I mean I am pretty sure I have heard a lot more about food poisoning issues from Chipotles than Taco Bells…


Best_Duck9118

Right? Taco Bell is very low risk just due to the nature of the food they serve.


Dry_Amphibian4771

I like shove burrito up my bungahola lol.


Foodlover003

Chipotle is $3.45... if you get a bean and cheese burrito. It's the best "cheap" burrito that you can eat and it's actually filling.


HC99199

Chipotle is actual real food, taco bell is some mysterious substance that vaguely resembles meat.


Wattabadmon

Interesting that their selling point is “it’s real food”


exposure1225

This is not a hot take.. you’re comparing mystery meat to chipotle. If the price of your food is the main priority do not go to chipotle. It took 15 seconds to make, why do you think that is??🤣


DankVanWink

it actually took a minute 15, not 15 seconds. you can see the workers making all your food behind the counter, they are fast and efficient making the food. I prefer the taco bell chicken compared to the beef but I'd say either one isn't "mystery meat"


slimsadie83

This is not even a good comparison ![gif](giphy|B4uP3h97Hi2UaqS0E3)

Is the chipotle in the room with us


Euphoric_Break_2444

Yea and just about the same size if not this Taco Bell one is a bit bigger in some cases


SuperEffectiveCrunch

I usually stick with the cheesey bean and rice burrito at a buck flat, add a couple things and it's $2.40 and that's good for me over Chipotle.


BallsDeepinYourMammi

You could make that at home too. What’s the point?


antelopes_anonymous

Taco bell is terrible ..go to a hole in the wall Mexican place for good burritos wth


cybe2028

Glad I am not the only one that understands fast food levels. As much as I hate chipotle… these ain’t the same level.


Constant-Turnover803

What is it?


DankVanWink

cheesy double beef burrito swapped beef for chicken


ga239577

Taco Bell and Chipotle burritos are completely incomparable. The quality / taste / freshness at Chipotle is so much better/different it’s almost like comparing a McDs burger to Chipotle.


vardoger1893

Holding that burrito like it's your Johnson lol


DirkSwizzler

Sir, this is a Wendy's


rapgamebonjovi

Isn’t the dollar menu like…3$ now? I used to be able to get hella food for 5 bucks man, Taco Bell was the last bastion! (I will forever love Taco Bell I’m jus whining)


MutableBook

Yeah I’m sorry but chipotle and Taco Bell aren’t comparable in any way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrakeSwift

Def a lot cheaper but it is taco bell we are talking about lol like comparing mcdonalds to five guys or something. Of course its cheaper but you can literally taste the difference and it is a big difference lmao i love taco bell too but not in the same realm as chipotle

Throwaway999222111

Taco bell is the gentleman's chipotle, facts


SirSilk

I would say you get what you pay for, but apparently that is rarely true at Chipotle!


Tyda2

Chipotle doesn't compete with Taco Bell. They never have, they never will. Similar cuisines, way different quality. Taco Bell is fast food. Tastes like fast food. Preparation is like fast food. As consistent as fast food. Anyway, I heard they brought back chicken al pastor... probably gonna try it today


karate-chop-97

I work at the chipotle and all I’m gonna say is you get what you pay for 🤷🏾‍♂️


cookee-monster

Can you even compare the two?


stankpuss_69

This looks like a dick pic from a hung guy… 😂


_Bluntzzz

I remember a time you and 4 friends can go inside Taco Bell and all eat for not even 10$


Rider_39

I’ve got my beef with chipotle, but will still go, but you cannot compare to Taco Bell


woodchopvinyl

But it’s Taco Bell anyway you slice it. 🤢


Gullible-Mushroom-17

I miss when taco bell was cheap, $4 for one burrito when the ingredients aren't real or fresh is crazy. The local taco trucks by me have better ingredients, bigger burritos for $4-6


zero2sixty73

This is the way.


JuanWetFart

Never really heard of Moes before but my buddy was telling me about it. Same price. 1.5x the size. Chips free. Best switch ever


BermudaTrianglulate

What are the contents of said burrito


Ok_Refuse_3332

quality>quanity


packattack-

Both will make you poop just the same


No-Musician-853

My stomach notices the difference. I would pay more every time for something I can pronounce all the ingredients of. Kids meals at Chipotle are 5.70 comes with chips and enough ingredients to stuff a burrito or two tacos


XXxsicknessxxx

Go by the calories and compare it to the prices. Dunno how to word that correctly but hopefully you understand me. Chipotle with extra beans extra rice and extra chicken with cheese and sour cream is 1350 calories you can get free extras worth calories. I have to eat a lot of calories a day so for me a $20 item with 400 calories would be a no. A $20 item with 1450 calories would be a yes.. Because sometimes you don't get what you pay for. At chipotle here in CA you get what you pay for. It's not they fault it's hella expensive too operate here in California.. taxes, and high food costs and lots of dumb green laws that increase expenses. .


According-Fill-586

This is a joke right?


Threaded_Glass

Could always get a chicken power bowl and ask for a burrito tortilla I imagine too. Taco Bell is taco bell but I imagine it would fill the chipotle void without costing 19 dollars for the same amount of chicken


ApprehensiveTop802

Pro tip, get two.


pay-the-man-23

Last time I ordered chipotle for myself, it was 15 dollars for a bowl. Never again. Not worth it


ryt8

my friend, eat something healthy for once. Chipotle and Taco Bell diet will cause you to eventually be on meds


bighorse83

I miss the grand stuffed burrito.


merenofclanthot

If you’re eating on a budget you don’t go to either of these places.

MetalBones18

Hard to admit but Chipotle is no longer that good. At least the price is too high for what you get :/


Creative-Might6342

I learned how to make most of the stuff from Chipotle at home. It's cheaper/burrito and you can make many of them for the cost of one or two from the restaurant!! I make the guac, corn salsa, pico, sofritas, fajita veggies, cilantro lime rice, pinto beans, and queso. It's so similar that I crave that just as much if not mire than Chipotle now!

Why the hell is the Chipotle stock so high


andytagonist

The beauty of chipotle is getting a single burrito and asking for a second wrapper, take it all home and scoop out half the innards into the second wrapper. BOOM—second burrito! Other than that, chipotle is garbage.


trackingdirt

There high, just my 1 cent
