rt, some people said Chipotle is more like American food. Just want to know everybody’s opinion on this subject.
The burritos aren’t rolled in the Burit region of Mexico so they’re just sparkling carnitas.
The Burritans are not a fan of people using the word outside the region.
I consider Chipotle as Mexican as I consider Panda Express Chinese.
I guess next you’re gonna tell me that Olive Garden isn’t Italian.
It’s not even in a garden.
The same way that Olive Garden is authentic Italian food
Authentic fettuccine alfredo
let’s just call it “Mexican-inspired”
I think it’s pretty solidly in the Tex-Mex category, which is so much more popular in America than actual Mexican food that “Mexican” is better considered a casual alternative to saying Tex-Mex. If you actually mean authentic Mexican, you should probably specify that, or even better, name the specific region. It’s normal to see a restaurant advertised as Oaxacan or Yucatan, for example.
lol no. taco bell is more “mexican” than chipolte
It’s Tex mex just like Taco Bell
Nope

Tex-mex. There is an authentic mexican restaurant in my town: menudo, lengua, jaritos…and they would laugh about Chipotle being considered mexican.
One thing I think people need to understand is that ‘Tex-Mex’ should not be considered a goddamned insult. Texas has a deep history with it’s relationship to Mexico, and Texas is fucking huge.
To put it in perspective, go look at a land size comparison of Texas and the entire UK. Texas is bigger. On it’s own.
So to expect it to not have it’s own culture and it’s own cuisine is stupid as hell. Now, if we want to discuss which we prefer… that’s a different conversation.
And to ask me if I want to live there? The answer is a resounding “hell no.”
Oh, absolutely. I love Tex-Mex food but 120*F is too hot for humans.
120 F
That’s Arizona, not Texas.
This summer was a fluke. It’s like saying you won’t live in Houston because you can’t tolerate snow.
I would say more California than Tex - Tex Mex has heavier emphasis on fried foods. The company is headquartered in California. It looks like the owner got most of the inspiration in San Francisco, and then moved to Colorado.
No, it’s Californian food… which is vaguely inspired by Mexican food.
It’s not even Californian food. Californians do not make rice that shitty.
I mean the same way Taco Bell is Mexican, Olive Garden is Italian, or any American Chinese food is Chinese. It’s not “food from that area” but instead “food that reminds you of that area.” That’s how American culture works. People say America has no culture because everyone brings their own. Well, this is American culture, a bunch of food that’s not from the places your family is from but food that might remind you of those places.
That said I personally would consider it Mexican-flavored American food along with Taco Bell, Taco Time, Taco Del Mar, etc. That said when I say “I feel like Mexican food tonight” I’m thinking of Mexican-flavored American food because you simply can’t get Mexican Food in America as readily.
I knew a Mexican girl who I don’t think considered it fully “mexican” but liked it quite a lot still.
It’s Americanized Mexican, at best. Personally, I cannot stand the taste though, so I’m also not the best judge probably.
Not Mexican, but definitely South American.
I was confused by your wording, but I think you mean South of the USA rather than South America.
Not the Southeast - Southwest-west. Honestly mostly California.
