Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

The Chipotle here is very new, so I won't fault them too much for still having some issues with burrito assembly. I'm not a fan of the seating setup. It's communal-style dining, with several tables with four chairs on each side. I'm okay with that setup some places, but not here, especially since the space feels very cramped. It looks like parking is going to be a little bit of an issue. It's not a small lot, but it's not large, and especially with the newness factor, this parking lot is going to be a little cramped for awhile.

I'm not sure how people can even eat at other burrito places in Ames after eating Chipotle. Chipotle is an international chain and has strict rules and recipes regarding food quality and preparation and you can taste it. There aren't five million salsa options like other chains, but they also have a higher standard for the food. There are plentiful options and combinations for even a crazed picky eater. The store setup is a negative. It's a really small store and from 12-1pm and 5pm-6 or 7pm it's extremely crowded. It's also backwards from S Duff. If you're a native Iowan and accustomed to bland watered down no seasoning food, stick to Pancheros and Fighting Burrito. Even Chipotle's mild options have flavor. Not heavy spice, but flavor. Learn what that is, Midwesterners! The managers don't wear hats and they all have long straight hair and often serve food - that's disgusting. And yes, the store is kept really cold. A benefit is that the employees aren't sweating all in the food, but it can be distracting for diners to be frozen out while eating lunch.

I went during a lunch rush, so this may not be a typical experience, but based on how everyone else's did looked I suspect it is typical. I got a burrito which was far too large and poorly rolled. It was poorly rolled because you can't roll up a burrito with 2-3x the filing it should have. Burritos should not look like a ball. This is a burrito shop, so filing and rolling a burrito should be part of the training, no?

I just wanted to update my review to add that Chipotle has a new vegetarian/vegan option - tofu with a blend of spices called sofritas. I have had the sofritas and it is very good, just a little salty for my tastes. It isn't big chunks of tofu, kind of thicker and paste-like with small pieces of tofu. So, another burrito place in town has an option besides grilled veggies for non-meat eaters.

I've reviewed the location in Valley West Mall in West Des Moines, Iowa, and now I'm reviewing THIS one! Customer service, food quality and atmosphere are all A+! I am so happy they decided to open a location in Ames, especially since the Qdoba closed a few years before. I have been to this location three times to date, and all three have had busy streaks (with lines sometimes backing up to the entrance), and what's interesting about it is that nobody who eats at this Chipotle so far is over 30 hardly...no bias, just an observation. If I had to say anything negative about this location, it's the parking...but it's not THAT bad, but it can get full. I think this is one of the reasons why Qdoba closed, was the access to park...but to be fair, a LOT of businesses in Ames have the weirdest parking lots (West Ames Hy-Vee, Wal-Mart on South Duff., Kum & Go on Welch, etc.) Again, THANK YOU Chipotle for opening an Ames location...you have forever found a loyal customer...and PLEASE don't close!!!

The food was ok but definitely not nearly as good as the burritos at fighting burrito in campus town. I eat out frequently. The location is convenient for shoppers and there were good choices for meals.
