Tipster and burrito-enthusiast Eugene Shapsyuk alerts Bwog to some unfortunate price-raising at Chipotle:
“I thought it’d be worth reporting as an FYI that Chipotle raised their prices. Price of a Burrito with guac is now $10.34 up from $9.25 I think. Guac’s 10 cent’s more and a Burrito is $7.61 up from I think $6.95. It might not seem like much, but it’ll add up for those of us that go there at least a few times a week.”
Sadly, we April Fools you not.
Spec Food Editor/Bwog tipster Shane Ferro posits that the rise in Chipotle prices could be related to activity in the international avocado market, where grain prices have soared due to a drought in Australia. Likewise, the price rise could also be explained by a shift on American farms from corn to soybean production. Foreshadows Ferro: “Expect to pay about twice as much for a bagel soon, as well.”

@for real actually Chipotle is the Arby’s of Mexican food. It’s owned by McDonalds and has shitty, shitty burritos. Please take a trip to a place that doesn’t use white rice in burritos, and a super costs 6 bucks.
@Chipotle fan Chipotle hasn’t been owned by McDonald’s since 2006. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20061013/mcdonaldaposs-chipotle.htm
@real advice. Taqueria is disgusting. The burritos are poorly wrapped and fall apart when you pick them up. Please do not listen to these hipsters.
@stfu taqueria is fucking amazing.
@additionally they now have calorie ranges listed next to items. Burrito is of course the best bang for your buck with ~450 to I think ~980 calories
@avocado prices also went up as a lagging effect of the california fires
@holy shit four times a week? holy shit wow. just wow.
@??? why the hell would you go to chipotle a few times a week?
@pete i eat at chipotle around four times a week and have no problem spending an extra four dollars to keep this habbit up.
@jhx this never would have happened if we had cracked down on illegal immigration earlier
@Seriously taueria is way better and cheaper, why go to chipotle?
@Except its not way better.
@well predicts maybe. not foreshadows.
@john b. cent’s?
@un amigo go to taqueria instead!!!!!!
Que RIco!
@this just solidifies that my entire federal rebate check will be used to fund my burritos for the rest of the semester
