Our Rating: Chipotle in New York City: B, Chipotle in Miami: A+

With its prominent burritos and palatable lemony chips, Chipotle has become one of the best Mexican grills nationwide. Although Chipotle serves the same thing in all its locations, various factors like portions, prices and taste vary. Two culturally diverse cities like New York and Miami have altering results in these aspects.  Read below to see the comparison on Chipotle in the city that never sleeps and the ‘305.’

Serve Big or Go Home:

Portions in NYC: Due to the fast paced workers that are trying to work as quickly as possible, the workers tend to just serve what falls on the spoon the first time. Although they do give fair portions, it’s nothing like Miami’s assistance. As shown in the pictures below, they serve the average amount of every topping and entree. However, when it comes to their chips, the mouthwatering flavor never changes despite the location.

Portions in Miami: In comparison to New York, Miami’s Chipotle locations never fail to secretly go over the regular portions as if they knew how hungry you were. Also, because there isn’t as long of a line, the servers have ample time to carefully listen to your order. In comparison to the Chipotle in NYC, they serve more toppings and make sure you have enough sour cream!

“The portions served at Chipotle are definitely worth the money; every bite is worth it,” senior Gisselle Gonzalez said.

Winner: Miami

Who’s tastier?

Taste in NYC/ Miami: Although price and quantity change, the infallible taste remains the same anywhere in the country. The slightly spicy taste in the chicken and warm corn are a universal taste that cannot be found in any other Mexican grill.
