Anyone still repping Chipotle?

Yep, fuck Chipotle. They peddle their horseshit and then make people sick with all their "Non-GMO, antibiotic free, organic" food. I'd rather have Moes or Tijuana Flats
I used to be a big fan, but after a combination of raising prices, and often having luke warm meat, and generally being bored of it, I stopped going. I was never concerned about the health issues. Other restaurants and chains have had similar but Chipotle always got more publicity for it. I'd much rather go to Torchy's Taco's now.
Did they ever change the queso? I tried it soon after they introduced it. It was vastly over-priced for a tiny container, and it was very bland.

Chicken bowl with extra brown rice, hot salsa, corn salsa, and extra cheese with chips is my go to lunch. It's so good
I get a burrito or bowl like once a month. It's fine. I live in the southwest so there's plenty of better options available, but sometimes you just want a burrito you can order from your phone.
i don't have a chipotle here, but we have qdoba -- and it's great. i always get a chicken burrito bowl with extra extra japs, guac, sour scream, spicy queso, habanero salsa, black beans, pinto beans, and cilantro rice
takes me dinner and lunch the next day to even finish it. love them

If you live near any urban or suburban area in the US, you probably live near enough Mexican people that there's at least one good non-chain or local-chain taqueria. Find it, and go there. Authenticity doesn't even enter into it, it's just better food.
I will die on the shitter before I stop eating Chipotle.
Also have yet to get major sick from it.

No, even though there is one nearby. Their anti science stances with the non GMO foods and such is worrisome. I think it contributes to why they've had such a poor food safety record in recent years (buying "organic" stuff from suppliers rather than safer regular product). They also treat their employees pretty poorly, forcing poor near minimum wage people to obtain a doctor's note if they're ill - in other words, forcing them to work sick because they know they can't afford healthcare, and then wondering why they have so many outbreaks at their restaurants.
I really need to give Moes another shot. Had them like once in the last decade.
Of course, for the same price as Moe's or Chipotle I wind up going to the local Mexican place or the Indian restaurant and getting twice as much or more food for the same price.
Of course, I also feel like I regret my life choices up until that point when I leave, but it is worth it. Especially the Indian place.
This is not only the tea even in places where I didn't have many burrito options, there are a million fuckin' burrito places where I am now. One of them notable for being a major plot point in a prestige drama series
I eat there often. Love the food. I've had a few weeks where work is crazy and I live purely on Zoe's Kitchen and Chipotle.
I still eat their probably once a month. Funny thing is, it's the only restaurant I've ever gotten food poisoning from but this happened 10 years before all the drama. I didn't eat there for about 2 years after it but came around. It's just convenient and cheap. I also think it's better than Moe's
Sounds like a you problem.
Also, OP, I've been in CA for awhile and haven't heard any of those comments from "snotty Californians". Chipotle is always packed here too.
Qdoba is better. Chipotle's queso taste like liquid cardboard.
The joint down the street that will serve me a plate of nachos the size of a compact car for $6 is even better though.

The places are some run down places, but god damn is their food good. I think the place in St. John's may have my favorite tacos in town. They are boilerplate standard but oh so fucking good.
I don't visit it regularly like I used to. I don't fuck with foodborne pathogens and companies that are negligent on that shit. People die from foodborne pathogens. They suffer from dirty food sourcing because there are almost no reputable suppliers with good food safety practices who supply their hippie-ass ingredients.
However, I have taken the risk and eaten there a couple of times in the past few months because it was the only place in my immediate vicinity that had a lunch for less than $8.

I still eat it once a week or every two weeks.
Their stock is over $700 USD. How did that happen?

The # of affected meals that have been served across the company's existence in these "outbreaks" is very overblown. Compare that to the # of meals they serve every day/month/year and your risk of getting sick is incredibly low.
I've been eating there for almost 20 years. I don't see that stopping any time soon. I don't pretend that it approaches the quality of real Mexican food (which I also enjoy quite a bit). That's not why I go there. Tasty + Cheap + Filling + Nutritious is a great combo.
