A reviewer for website Thrillist tried the three items with chorizo and quickly realized that everything from Chipotle tastes pretty much the same. He also noticed that the chorizo basically blends in with the rest of the food and you can't really taste it:
The tacos tasted like mini burritos. The burrito bowl tasted like all my burrito fixin's had fallen out. The burrito tasted like tacos. You could have told me this sucker was stuffed with ground chicken, and I would have believed you. The distinct, powerful flavors that have made chorizo one of the most beloved of all my meats, was lost inside the torpedo of pinto and white rice.
The only point where I could actually taste the chorizo was when I took the meat out, and ate it with nothing else (in hindsight, I should have asked for a burrito with only meat). The chorizo was spicy, spicier than anything I've tried at Chipotle, but you know, still not that spicy. It was due to the paprika, and overall it was a fine, if not overwhelming shot at hitting chorizo on a fast-casual scale.
Well, we're a little disappointed that Chipotle's new chorizo products aren't getting better reviews, because they certainly sound delicious and we're looking forward to trying them. We're still curious, though and think it's worth a taste test!
