I Ate At The New Chipotle In Great Falls, What Do I Think?
I decided to go early and try the new Chipotle that just opened in Great Falls.
First off, I'll say that Great Falls has a penchant for new places in town. It's not often that we get a new place to eat that hasn't been here before.
Sitting on what used to be the piece of land the iconic Cart Wheel Bar used to be. Chipotle was a much anticipated destination for everyone since they broke ground.

I had a bit of "me time" on Thursday after work so I decided to head to the new establishment. Obviously, I knew there would be a line out the door with people waiting to get their first taste of Chipotle and I was no different. The line moved surprisingly fast for the amount of people there, the crew were working very hard and for the most part everyone was very patient.
Once I got my burrito, I ordered a drink and some chips and sat down.
The overall experience was pretty great. My burrito was stuffed with grilled steak cooked to protection and had lots of flavor. It's been awhile since I had fun eating a burrito trying to dodge all the drippings escaping from the gigantic meat pocket I had in my hands.
The Salsa was spicy, and the chips had a delicious lime taste to them.
Overall rating I give this is an 8 out of ten only because they were currently out of pico de gallo. I've had Chipotle while living in Missoula and it was about the same, so consistency is at a perfect 10.
A lot of people love Chipotle's product and I don't blame them, but I'm still more of a fan of the giant burritos from Cafe Rio. However, Chipotle comes very close.
