1. Thanks for the info!

A Chipotle's went into a nearby mall just a few months ago. The mall is less than 2 miles from my house!

Mmmm...something tells me I'm going to start taking walks more often!

2. Our Chipotle just opened a couple of months ago & it's within walking distance, too.

Their guac is really good, too. In fact, when grocery store avocados are hard as rocks & we want guac that night, I get it at Chipotle.

3. Totally saved my life.

4. I used to make my own tofu...

the "mineral" I added to make curds was epsom salts.

Would love to try a sofrita but we have no Chipolte near us.

7. How spicy?

I have a limited tolerance for spicy.

8. I would say mild to moderate.

I asked to taste it first & they gave me a spoonful.

9. ok I'll do that -

twice I ordered items in a vegan restaurant that I didn't expect to be spicy but were actually unpleasantly so (for me), e.g., a very spicy TLT (Tofu lettuce tomato).

14. It's creeping hipster-dom.

Everything's gotta be spicy hot in vegan cuisine now. Drives me nuts.

Get your damned sriracha away from my food!

15. Is that it?

When I ordered the Tofu BLT I was very surprised by the heat but I foolishly ate it anyway because I was hungry. It made me sick. (Since then they've put in the description that it had a chipotle sauce. I never would have ordered it if I knew about the chipotle.) Then some other restaurant I think has the same owners - months later I ordered something else (don't recall what) that I was sure would not be spicy and it was. I didn't finish it. Not everybody likes or can tolerate very spicy food. WTF?

13. I'm very, VERY wimpy when it comes to hot foods

and I do fine with the sofritas -- the little bit of kick that is there is cooled down by the guacamole and rice. I just made sure to avoid the salsa.

11. I like it, too.

Interesting blend of spices. For mainstream commercial fast food, pretty good.

12. I'm really glad they have it. More vegan options are wonderful.

Personally, I don't like the way it tastes. I always go with black beans and guac. The guac is free if you do it that way.
