Not specified, United States — Mexican/Fast Casual
Raina participates in an eating competition at Chipotle against the Dough Boys, trying their new pollo asada tacos and barbacoa quesadilla. While she enjoyed the barbacoa, the new pollo asada protein was disappointing, though the overall experience was fun and competitive.
What was great: Barbacoa, new pollo asada protein option
What could improve: The protein quality in the pollo asada taco was described as terrible
The Dishes
The main focus of this visit was Chipotle's new pollo asada protein option, served in taco form. Raina found the pollo asada protein itself to be of poor quality, describing it as terrible. In addition to the new protein, they also tried a barbacoa quesadilla, which Raina was much more positive about. She noted that the barbacoa is one of Chipotle's better offerings and appreciated the quality of this particular protein option.
The Experience
This was not a traditional restaurant review but rather an eating competition held at Chipotle. Raina competed against the Dough Boys in a speed-eating challenge to finish a burrito. The atmosphere was competitive and fun, with the hosts encouraging the participants and keeping track of who finished first. Raina came in second place in this round, mentioning that she had won a previous competition they had done.
Value and Pricing
No specific pricing information was mentioned during the video transcript.
Notable Moments
We're about to have an eating competition. Raina Wong versus the Dough Boys.
I came in second place.
The competitive nature of the visit was the main highlight, with Raina acknowledging she came in second and expressing enthusiasm about an upcoming podcast episode with the Dough Boys.
The Verdict
While the barbacoa was praised as one of Chipotle's better protein options, the new pollo asada protein fell short of expectations. This visit was more about entertainment value and competition than a traditional dining experience. Those looking to enjoy Chipotle should stick with their established proteins like barbacoa rather than experimenting with the new pollo asada option.
