Chipotle vs Qdoba

For this week's date night we decided to do a Chipotle verses Qdoba taste test.  We went to eat place and got a chicken burrito bowl.

Here is what we decided:

Atmosphere:  Although we didn't eat in the restaurants we all went in to order and 'get a feel'.

                CHIPOTLE: Smells divine. Friendly staff (they even gave us free guacamole to pull points  in their favor) and good price

                QDOBA: Smelled like a fast food place, okay staff and much more expensive. 

Amount: We determined this by look but we decided that 'next time' it would be cool to weigh them and actually see which portion is bigger.

                CHIPOTLE: The container is smaller but they jam it full.

                QDOBA: Larger container but was not super full. 

Quacamole: We were not going to splurge for the Quac but at Chipotle they gave it to us free (they said it was the best part)- so we decided to add this category;  I am a guacamole fan- so I was okay with the addition.

                CHIPOTLE: Fresh and tastes deliciously home made

                QDOBA: Tastes manufactured- are these real avacados?

Chicken:

                CHIPOTLE: About the Same- maybe a little more spice

                QDOBA: About the Same

Taste:

                CHIPOTLE: A little more kick.  We ordered how Ben usually orders so it was not as spicy and full of flavor as I am used to- but it was still good.

                QDOBA: Queso!!- I think Ben could drink this stuff. This is the only difference in orders   from the two locations but we think without it Q'Doba would definitely be lacking. 

FINAL: This is hard because I do not think there was a unanimous vote.  I am 100% Chipotle all the way but Ben can't get enough of that queso.  But since I am writing the blog post-  

CHIPOTLE WINS!!!
