Dining Out - Chipotle
By Andrea Faiad
Fresh food fast featuring burritos and tacos.
With lines sometimes out the door, the national chain Chipotle crashed Rochester with a bang when it opened a few weeks ago.
It's theme is fresh food fast, and features burritos and tacos.
"We do things a little bit wild, a little bit crazy," says manager John Hopp, explaining that the music is loud and interior is industrial-looking. "We keep things simple so we can focus on the details of the food."
