The newly opened Chipotle, located where Lonestar resturant used to be, has had a line nearly out the door ever since it opened. The chain resturant is well-known for its large and inexpensive portions, with overstuffed burritos ranging from only $6.00-$6.50 depending on the meat you choose.
The employees will also cater to whatever you like on your dish, adding more of any ingredient (besides meat) at no extra charge. A double meat burrito or burrito bowl is an extra $2 charge.
Chipotle also has a reputation for being a resturant that uses "ingredients with integrity," they take pride in helping save the enviornment with recycled materials in their bags and only the freshest and highest quality organic meats.

As previously reviewed by Patch, Papa Joe's is a truly authentic mexican resturant. It has a unique variety of delicious dishes, ranging from the simple Spanish-style rice as a side dish to colorful burritos topped with Verde or Rojo sauces.
Although it is the most expensive out of all of the resturants listed, many believe it has the best food. Each meal is complimented with an endless basket of tortilla chips.
They also have classical desserts including fried ice cream, sopapillas and tres leches, a kind of Mexican custard. If you want to visit, it's tucked in a small corner of Main Street, behind Locust Lane.
