Chipotle in Iowa City

Finally Chipotle opened its doors today in downtown Iowa City. I’ve been missing their carnitas fajita burrito since moving from Colorado Springs.  I tried to find a good substitute, but Pancheros never really cut it for me.

Anyway we went downtown tonight and waited in a good sized line (almost ran outside the door) but it was well worth it.  The carnitas was salty with a light lemon flavor.  There is no carnitas like it in this part of Iowa.

If you live in the area, Chipotle is downtown at the Old Capitol Mall almost right across from Pancheros.
