Taco Bell used to have the Chilito...it was very yummy...but the payback out the backside could be unpleasant.Canelek wrote:Is Chillito a Taco Bell trademark? Or was it Cheesarito? Chililritoburritochessemelt
Some time after the Chilito became a Taco Bell item, they fucked with the recipe (probably supply chain differences between the two chains) and it no longer tasted the same (i.e. Yummy!). I keep wanting to try the current Zantigo Chilito and see if it's the one I remember, taste-wise, or some new Taco-Bellish facsimilie, but I'm never out in Wisconsin/Minnesota.Zantigo was (and is) a chain of fast food Mexican restaurants in the Midwestern portion of the United States. The original chain of that name was a division of KFC. In 1986, KFC was sold by its then-owner, RJR Nabisco, to Pepsico. Since Pepsi already owned a national Mexican food chain, Taco Bell, the decision was made to close or convert all existing Zantigo restaurants.
In many cases, the existing Zantigo assets were in better locations or in better physical condition than nearby Taco Bell locations. Thus, most Zantigo locations continued to remain in business as Taco Bells, with the nearby Taco Bell locations being closed. This led indirectly to the Taco Bell chain as a whole adopting many of the distinctive architectural details of the old Zantigo restaurant buildings.
Zantigo also had several unique menu items - the Chilito, the Taco Burrito, Chips 'n' Cheese, the Cheesarito, and the Mucho Tostada. Of these, the Chilito and Cheesarito were carried over by Taco Bell after the purchase in former Zantigo markets. The Chilito was promoted to a chain-wide item, and was later renamed "Chili-cheese Burrito". The Cheesarito makes occasional special appearances during the Christian holy season of Lent. Its popular counterpart, the Chilito, is still served at Zantigo today.
A new Zantigo chain, under new ownership consisting of former Zantigo franchisees, opened with three restaurants in Minnesota in 1999 and currently has six locations in Minnesota. There was one location in New Richmond, Wisconsin which opened in May of 2005, however they closed in August of 2007 when the owner decided to convert the building into a 1950's style diner. The menu is virtually identical to that of the original Zantigo chain, with numerous additions.
In the late 1970s, after years of complaints by Mexican-American activist groups, the Zantigo chain changed the name and signage of all its restaurants. Previously, it had been known as Zapata, and the signage featured a silhouette of a tall Mexican wearing a sombrero, presumably Emiliano Zapata. The new Zantigo chain was also known as Zapata for the first few years of its existence, and changed its name for similar reasons.
Chilito
The chilito is a burrito-like tortilla entree that is served at Zantigo restaurants throughout the midwest. It is priced at $1.39. There are two versions of the chilito, hot and mild. The mild contains a red chili sauce, while the hot version contains a green chili sauce.
they both came out at the same time here.Canelek wrote:Yes, you are right. It is totally the 'New Coke' fuckery.
Even the enchirito could not come close.

I haven't been down on campus in probably a decade, but I agree on Qdoba >Chipotle (because sometimes you want the queso).Zamtuk wrote:Yes we do. Its on campus on High and 18th.

Qdoba is better because it is an upgraded Chipotle with QUESO.
That was nice of you. What a sweetheart you are!Sylvus wrote:lol, yeah, it was.

Yeah, that has bothered me about Chipotle, and sometime causes me to get a burrito bowl, so I can mix the ingredients myself.Xyphir wrote:Wasn't sure if this was the right thread, considering we have two hijacked by burrito/quasi-mexican food responses, but I can't stand chipotle primarily because they don't mix the goddamn burrito. There's a good chance of biting into the burrito and only getting rice. I'm spoiled by a better quasi-mexican food place called Illegal Pete's.
I almost always get a bol at chipotle now, half of the reason why is to mix the stuff up too!Aardor wrote:Yeah, that has bothered me about Chipotle, and sometime causes me to get a burrito bowl, so I can mix the ingredients myself.Xyphir wrote:Wasn't sure if this was the right thread, considering we have two hijacked by burrito/quasi-mexican food responses, but I can't stand chipotle primarily because they don't mix the goddamn burrito.

I highly prefer corn tortillas. That's what I grew up eating, and I never understood why people ate flour instead. I can still remember making them when I spent the summers on a citrus plantation in the Rio Grande Valley.Xatrei wrote:Moe's doesn't mix the stuff up, but they do a good job of distributing the filling so that it's even, or at leas they did when I still got the tortillas. For the last couple of years, I almost always get my burritos without the tortilla, what's called a streaker burrito at Moe's, or I just don't bother eating the tortilla. Foregoing just the super-jumbo flour tortillas they use takes 310 calories (49g carbs, 10g fats, 8g protein) off the meal and turns it into something that's reasonably healthy (I don't have any of the cheese or sour cream either). I've always thought it was funny that they still referred to this as a burrito, but I guess it keeps the menu simple.
This, btw, is the reason that I almost always ask to substitute corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas when eating at a Mexican restaurant.
WTF?Canelek wrote:Cheese and sour cream....that is a good way to fuck up a burrito, regardless!
WRONG!Canelek wrote:Cheese and sour cream....that is a good way to fuck up a burrito, regardless!
Yeah, the nutrition is the other part of why I usually go without the tortilla. However when I do get something with a tortilla, I prefer flour over corn almost every time, corn tortillas to me have a lot less flavor and I don't like the texture as much.Xatrei wrote:Moe's doesn't mix the stuff up, but they do a good job of distributing the filling so that it's even, or at leas they did when I still got the tortillas.
