Heading to Rochester for holiday pics (yay!) and we're going to play at Chuck E. Cheese, but I wanted to eat at Chipolte...most of their menu is gluten free so I am super excited.
However, I can't find prices on anything...so, if you've eaten there...
How much are their tacos (both soft and hard)?
How much are their kids meals?
Cheaper to eat at C.E.C? (lol)
Now I feel so sad...you make it all sound so good!!
We ate at CEC. Of course. The gluten free pizza was surprisingly...well...not ricey. I can't explain it, but if you have to eat GF pizza, you know what I mean. Plus, it came cooked in it's own sealed bag so yay for no cross-contamination. My 2 year old does have CD and it's really tough to eat out. Salad bar was surprisingly good. Husband HATED the pizza and salad bar...and those are two foods he typically loves.
Came down to freezing rain, late in a town away from home...going to CEC anyways...do we want to drive across town to Chipolte, or just get it all done in one stop?
I REALLY want to try Chipolte now! We don't have one in our town.
(And just for fun...I live in Austin, MN. Everyone always thinks Texas, but no...I live in SpamTown. Look it up, it's good for a laugh.)
Thanks so much moms...will try it the next time I'm there (I HOPE!)
I cannot remember, but its like $8-$9. I think prices are regional. its not cheap fast food, but the ingredients are fresh and good. Eat there its worth it. I love Chipotle.
I can't give you exact costs, but we spend around $6 or $7 per person (no soda, no chips or extras.)
And OMG it's WAY better than the food at Chuck E. Cheese, spend a little extra and ENJOY!
We eat Chipolte often, in fact my oldest is a bit of an addict.
It's cheap $7-$10 per meal but huge portions so kids can split. It's great for "fast food" fresh, pretty healthy and you can tailor your meal to control calories/fat. I like the bowls with all the yummy stuff but not the huge tortilla to drag you down.
Have fun!
Chipotle might cost you a tiny bit more, but you'd be getting a much higher quality meal...MUCH higher.
And I'd usually spend about $8 - $10 there, but that burrito could feed me for a week!
You've got me wanting to go to Chipotle now.
I think the burritos are between $6.50 and $8.00 and I share one with my son. We have NEVER had a kid's meal but love the veggie burrito. We skip the cheese and sour cream so 1/2 a burrito is not too bad either fat or calorie wise. I have no idea if this is more than Chuck E Cheese but it qualifies as actual food which CEC does NOT. Enjoy.
We eat lunch at chipole often and I think my bill is around or just under $10.
Food quality is MUCh better than Chuck E cheese.
Probably about $8 a person including drink. The burritos are HUGE but really good, I also really like their crispy tacos. I dont go to them a lot just because the closest one has really bad parking but I really like their food.
MMMMM Chipotle that is my favorite. I get a steak bowl it runs about 7.45 if I get guac its 1.5 or so extra. For my family of 4 to eat there I usually run a little over 20 bucks with drinks.
Don't know exact prices, but my daughter and I go there often. We get two burrito bowls, chips and salsa and one drink... and it's always around $18.
I knew you lived in MN that is why i was teasing you..sorry you did not get to try it. Because of your post, we went tonight and had take out from our neighborhood Chipolte..
The portions are huge, so you could share it with young children easily..
Very good food, and we have not noticed a difference in quality here in the "Austin!"
I remember it being about $7.00
People I work with spend about $8 for lunch when they go there. I have never been. I've been tempted to join since they love it so much but I cannot afford the calories.
my friend goes there she was just telling me how the quality went down hill & the price increase however if that is your choice opt to go there instead of CEC never been a fan eating there
If you have a FreeBirds go there! Two taco meal with drink and chips and salsa $5!
Oh, go for Chipotle!!! No comparison as far as the quality of what you'll be getting.
ETA: Ah, Austin....I had a softball tournament there when I was in high school, and we accidentally turned the wrong way after a game and ended up in Iowa ;-)
I have not eaten at Chuck E Cheese in forever. Chipolte here was about $6.50 per burrito last I recall...and they are so huge you could feed 2 kids from one. My coworkers used to tease me for taking 1/2 back to the office. So GOOD, though.
when hubby and I go we have port burrito bowl and beef burrito bowl, a bag of chips that we share and a side of guacamole. each has a drink. bill is less than $20
I'm sorry you missed out on some Chipotle. Their foods are charged by the meat -- chicken is slightly cheaper, and the pork and beef a bit more. It's around $7-8 for one person. Added cost for soda, or guacamole. I don't know anything about a kid's menu.
I did want to point out something. The name is Chipotle, and the L comes after the T. Chee-pote-lay.
