This Is How to Order a Quesarito at Chipotle, the Secret Menu Item That Wraps Your Burrito In Cheesy Goodness

13/06/2019 - 06:20 PM

Food mash-ups are nothing new. There was the cronut era, the donut cheeseburger [1], and, of course, the infamous and never-dying turducken [2]. But did you know that Chipotle, that haven of customized [3], not-too-complicated, somewhat healthy Mexican food [4], has a deluxe, secret menu item, too? It's called the "quesarito," and it's as delicious as it is self-explanatory.

A Chipotle quesarito is exactly what it sounds like: a quesadilla and burrito combined. Specifically, it's one of Chipotle's typical customizable burritos, but instead of simply having a plain tortilla for the wrapper, your fillings are encased in a fresh, gooey cheese quesadilla [5]. It's not listed on the official menu, but as of 2015, it does have an official price: a $3.50 surcharge [6] on top of your normal burrito pricing. The extra cost is meant to compensate for the extra time required to make the deluxe item.

Because it's a little more complex and time-consuming than your typical assembly-line burrito, a viral Reddit thread in 2015 [7] asked what's the best way to order a quesarito. For the most part, employees answered with the expected caveats: don't order it when there's a superlong line already, be careful about overstuffing the burrito, and be polite! With that in mind, next time you're at Chipotle with a cheese craving, a quesarito just might be the answer you're looking for!
