I'm loco for Boloco


So this weekend I ventured out of my Chipotle comfort zone and tried a burrito from Boloco, the new-ish place on Calhoun Street in Clifton. I think I'm a convert, or at least I would be, if there were a Boloco in my own east side neighborhood (but according to this article, one may open up downtown--woo hoo!). Maybe I'm being a bit premature with my praise, since I've only been there once, but here's why I'm digging the place right now:

-You can order a small or large burrito, so you don't feel uncomfortably full afterwards (or so you have more room for chips and salsa or guacamole).
-Organic tofu is a filling option. That's what I got with my (surprisingly spicy) Bangkok burrito and it was delicious.
-There are seven very different kinds of burritos on the menu plus a make-your-own option.
-There's a great smoothie selection (I had the Strawbana, which was heavenly).
-Nutella is offered as an ingredient and as a snack.

Been to Boloco yourself? How does it compare to the other burrito options in town? (CiN Weekly's dining guide has a nice comparision, although there's one glaring omission--the Comet!).

Another great/healthy note about Boloco is that they offer both brown rice and whole wheat wraps. A great way to increase complex carb and fiber intake! Though Chipotle still does the best promotions and free burrito days (When Boloco opened you had to buy a drink to get a free burrito...come on college kids like free not almost free :)

Now that Boloco has changed to Currito it is better than it used to be. They must have made a change to something. I went to Boloco in Boston and it was different. They don't grill the chicken on site and the salsa was old. Currito is way better. I heard they are opening in Hyde park?
