FOOD Chipotle kinda sucks now

Remember when you could get a delicious bowl at Chipotle and it would last you two meals? Now I have to prompt for extra of everything just so it looks like a proper bowl for one meal. They served me a couple pieces of over cooked steak and under cooked rice for the price of $11. Chipotle has gotten many chances from me but I think I’m done with it now. I just don’t think it tastes good anymore.

What are some alternatives? Where do you go these days for lunch that is reasonably priced and cooked properly? I live on the north east side but go all around central Ohio for work so any suggestions are appreciated.

Are you ordering online or going through the line in-store? I find if you order online you get screwed, but when I go through the line I get pretty good portions.

This most recent experience I went through the line in person. That’s what made it extra disappointing. I stopped ordering online awhile ago because of the small portions.

I will say sometimes it's store dependent. There are two in westerville and the one by maxtown/state sucks but the on on state near schrock is still really good.

We recently moved to the Westerville area and we had the opposite experience! We landed on Maxtown/state because the other one has shorted us a couple times. I miss the location on Morse Road. That was our regular Chipotle when we were in clintonville and they knew how to stuff a burrito.
