Ever since we’ve been in Portland I’ve been taking mental note of each Chipotle I see, sad I know. It’s weird to have an addiction to a company owned by McDonalds but I have such a love for Chipotle that cannot be tainted!

Reasons why I love Chipotle:
1. Guacamole and I have a very serious relationship and Chipotle’s does not disappoint. While some complain that the guac costs extra on their tacos – this is one time when being a veg has its advantages, GUAC IS FREE for when you’re not chompin the meat! I have to restrain myself on my avocado intake sometimes, I could probably eat one per day if it weren’t for the fat content.

2. Some of my most fond memories I had in Austin were with my coworkers/friends and our weekly Game Night ritual at our nearby Chipotle. Mix a number of crazy fun people, powerful Chipotle margaritas, and numerous board games… it’s fun. Maybe one day we’ll all be in the same place again and resurrect our Game Night.

3. That brings me to the Chipotle margaritas, not every location has them but if you find one that does… be careful of how many you order. Seriously strong but sooo delicious. My penny pinching wallet usually asks for a water cup and puts half the drink in each cup and fills the rest with lemonade. Deeeelicious!

4. Their tacos are so TASTY! My Chipotle order: Soft Corn Tortilla Tacos, Rice, Black Beans, Fajita Veggies, Corn Salsa, Guacamole (DUHHH), lettuce. Now.. I’m hungry!
