Chipotle a beacon of light on fast-food highway

NORTH CONWAY - Chipotle is fast becoming one of the elites of fast food, and after a meal produced at their North Conway restaurant, we can see why. They have a myriad of combinations of offerings that all include freshly prepared proteins and sides. We chose chicken with the following sides all piled high on top that ended up weighing around a pound inside their to-go container: white rice, brown rice, pinto beans, corn salsa, sour cream, cheese, guac, with vinaigrette dressing. Being my first encounter with the Chipotle brand, I was keenly aware as I took my first bite of the offering, and found it wonderfully delicious, satisfying and a one-of-a-kind taste sensation. All of the ingredients are keenly a notch above typical fast-food fare. The orders are all prepared before your eyes, kind of like a Subway, only a cut above. After I wolfed it down, I had a sensation that this was a little rich for my blood, but very savory and satisfying. I will perhaps adjust my order accordingly, but I found Chipotle definitely worth further experimentation. The cost was $17 plus tax, a little steep for a fast food meal, but it fed two of us easily. The closest Chipotle is in Dover at 826 Central Ave. Food ★★★★ Service ★★★
