Haven't had hot heads. Moes is mediocre, their salsa looks and tastes like it came out of a jar. In Ohio Chipotle is my go to. But in the South, their is a regional chain called Barberitos that is awesome. Besides the usual rice and beans you can get other fresh vegetables put on, and they have queso. Their salsa is also made fresh every day. My favorite burrito place by far. They also have $2 domestics all day.

I always got the dressing with their salads. Are you saying you get it on burritos?

Chipotle is the only one I've ever had on the list. TBH I am mostly turned off by Chipotle anymore and was completely done with it for a while. Barbacoa is the only meat I eat from there now. Seems like in the Akron area the chicken is usually burnt, steak is too fatty, and the pork has this skin or something on the end that tastes absolutely disgusting and instantly ruins my appetite.

There was a food truck called "Holy Frijoles" that would come to campus. That was the BOMB.

This sounds excellent--how far south do you have to go to get it? Kentucky??

Absolutely! Whether it is a burrito or a bowl, I never eat Chipotle without it. If I can get extra, or have my wife grab some, I'll use double on it too.

I've never heard of it in Kentucky, I have been around Lexington since 2004 and no one has ever said anything about it. My brother-in-law lives in Louisville and hasn't said anything about it either.

For those that were wondering... Barberitos is only in Georgia, South/North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida. I think its pretty cool that they deliver(Well the ones in Athens, GA do anyway). I might have check them out sometime if I go to Tallahassee or Atlanta.

I used to live in Nicholasville. My in-laws are in Versailles, but also have a lake house in Somerset. I'm no longer in KY, but spend time there regularly due to family and friends.

Do you have them put it on it or just use it while you're eating?

Thanks, next time we go to HHI I'll have to see if there are any in the vicinity. However, on the Island itself is an awesome place to get giant burritos--it's called Amigos, and I can't eat the whole thing...they're gi-normous!

I pour it on when I eat.

All the dressing used to be made daily. I don't think they do that anymore.

I like them alll if they aren't in burrito form. Much rather have a bowl with soft shell tacos to make my own mini burritos.

Chipotle, just because I live in an area without Qdoba and Moe's. I've only actually seen Moe's in Myrtle Beach, though it looks like there are at least a couple in Columbus. However, if I'm in C-Bus, I'm not eating at Moe's, so I'll probably never know how good it is.

How the hell can they do enough business in Glouster to survive? It's been several years, but the last time I was through Glouster, at least half the town was boarded up.

Tried spicy steak with sweet habanero at HotHead last night
Much better but Chipotle is still #1 for me. Their queso is also legit
