Chipotle

Well last night my siblings and mother and I were altogether and we decided to grab a bite to eat. My youngest brother suggested eating at Chipotle .

Now I’ve never eaten here before and I’ve been curious about it for some time now, just never taken a moment to go into one. I see them everywhere in Orlando.

For any of you who have eaten at a Baja Burrito Kitchen, the fare is similar… only it’s a tad more limited. I enjoyed my burrito immensely however (I had the spicy beef). I will definitely go back in the future with my children.

The funny part was the dicussion we got into over how to pronounce the name. Being “married” to a spanish speaking, Venezuelan native, I have a pretty good command of the spanish language. I wouldn’t call myself fluent, but close.

Anyway, we’re sitting there eating the burritos and my siblings kept wanting to call it chipolte (CHEE-pole-tee). And even the table next to us joined in the discussion. I guess it’s a common question… So I tried to get them to say it in spanish (and stop butchering it in english). For the record… it’s Chipotle (chee-POAT-leh).

There endeth the spanish lesson for the day… from this gringa anyway.
