Debate of the Century: Chipotle vs. Qdoba

A heated debate among students and families has been going on since both Qdoba and Chipotle have opened and still going on to the this day.The first established was Chipotle. It was became a restaurant in 1993 but only two years later Qdoba was created. Now both are beloved and competition arises. It has escalated to a point at where arguments have actually begun about which one is better.

Nutrition-wise, Qdoba has many healthy options including wheat tortillas, brown rice, chicken, steak, veggies, pico de gallo, corn salsa, and lettuce. Besides those options they also offer many other meats, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Qdoba stands out compared to Chipotle because they offer a queso that has an abundance of flavor. Although the price at Qdoba is a little less, many people still believe it’s still a little bit over priced.

For a burrito or burrito bowl, the price is about $8 and may go up depending on the toppings that are added on. Guacamole at both venues is about the same price and costs the consumer about $2 extra.

Chipotle, however, is still very strong competition. When ordering at Chipotle there is an array of options to choose from including flour tortilla, white or brown rice, chicken, steak, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, cheese, and pico de gallo.

Chipotle has preached about how they use only fresh ingredients and they do not substitute their food with other subpar food. To some, this sets them apart because consumers like to know that they are eating fresh food that is good for them. In order to get this fresher food though the consumers must pay a little extra. An average price for a burrito at Chipotle is about $8.50 and then increases as toppings are added.

This debate regarding Chipotle vs. Qdoba has been going on for a long time and it is still growing and becoming more controversial. In my opinion, I am a bigger fan of Chipotle because I think it tastes more authentic but I can understand why people like Qdoba.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
