    Maybe I didn't get the right thing (chicken instead of Weekly Smoke) but it wasn't better than Chipotle and far inferior to Dos Toros.

    "How do we convey 'Dos Torros' but better?" "I know, call it 'Tres Torros'." "Too obvious." "'Tres Carnes'?" "Perfect."

    Burritos. Slight step up from Chipotle. Hipper atmosphere, more attitude, higher prices.

    This place is like Chipotle if you like really smokey meats. But I don't. So I'd rather go down the block to Chipotle. It ain't no Dos Toros I'll tell ya that.
