If the queso is gritty that means they either didn't temper the cheese correctly i.e. started a too warm temperature or they added too much cheese at once so it didn't gradually melt into the sauce.

 

[Temeculan3000]

I tried the Chipotle queso, it was fine but not as good as Qdoba's.

 

[Poppy]

or if it really does taste like lime then if they added lime juice it might curdle it

 

[gaugebozo]

I just ate it for the first time and thought it tasted decent. It tastes like something you'd actually make with real cheese and not the yellow pasteurized stuff most places serve.

This exactly. I was expecting yellow oily garbage when my wife got some, but it was more like Mexican Fondue. I was pleasantly surprised.

The theory is too much corn starch

 

[thefragrance]

what are people expecting from motherfucking nacho cheese

that sounds valid as well

Nacho cheese would have tasted better

“Chipotle queso is probably the most disappointing thing I’ve ever experienced in my life,” tweeted Twitter user @arbythompson on Monday.

A firehose of diarrhea coming out of my ass, that was fine.

 

[shiba5]

How do you fuck up queso? They could have just followed the directions from the RoTel commercial. LOL

 

[peteykirch]

The theory is too much corn starch

Which is odd because shredded cheese + corn starch is supposed to help prevent clumps in the melting of cheese.

I guess being known for horribly shit food is better than being known for food that makes you shit horribly.

Kind of on topic: I was recently made aware of Chipotle dates being a thing for online dating, kind of like Netflix and chill. Is that true, are Chipotle dates actually a thing? I wouldn't have thought Chipotle as a place for a date. I'll have Chipotle once in awhile, but I thought of it more of a shame eating kind of place when you just want to get way too full.

 

[n0razi]

Just eat at Freebirds

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

Their new cheese truly is shitty. I was gonna make a thread about it last week actually.

It's got this awful density to it.

Will never buy again.

If you make it through the first 36 hours of shitting your brains out, it's meant to be.

“Chipotle queso is not good. And I love cheese,” tweeted @Kyle_Ratke.


holy fucking shit

Hahahahaha

 

[Ponn]

Try our new polarizing queso. Which side are you on?™

But I don't want to be polarized. I'm attracted to cheese.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Guess I'll keep going to Moe's then.

 

[Kthulhu]

Now I wish I had ordered some yesterday.

 

[Not]

I wasted money on it

I love me some nacho cheese in a burrito too. They really screwed the pooch

 

[Dishwalla]

I'm over Chipotle, they could close up shop and I wouldn't shed a tear.

 

[andrerobot]

WTF do you guys call queso? In Spanish that just means cheese.

 

[Not]

liquidy yellow cheese, unless we add "blanco" to the end, in which case it's essentially zesty mayo. sometimes red peppers and other shit scattered in there if you're mega lucky

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Gritty cheese sauce for a pricey add on.

Dang. I enjoy Chipotle and they messed up something like queso, in which everyone else, already has that much?

 

[MIMIC]

I thought it was pretty good. Got some the other day and I was really surprised.

 

[Dishwalla]

It's marketing plain and simple. Give cheese a fancy sounding name and it'll sell more.

Like nacho cheese? Or is it the same thing?

 

[Zoe]

It's specifically a melted cheese sauce with tomatoes, onions, and peppers.

 

[Not]

Nacho cheese is queso without the bullshit

 

[Falchion]

I can confirm, it's too soupy and pretty bland. I wasn't feeling it with their chips so I took it home and poured it on some grilled chicken and it still wasn't very good.

 

[Zoe]

No

Nacho cheese:

Queso:

Edit:
Or the superior compuesto/completo:

 

[Kthulhu]

Now I want Chipotle damnit. I'm gonna get some on the way home.

 

[reKon]

Okay so this was definitely not tested properly. I wonder what their process for this is. I have not met one person who actually likes their Queso.

 

[-x.Red.x-]

So friends.

Where can I buy some good queso? I mean in a jar, type of queso.
Tostinos are meh

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Chipotle must've pissed off someone who deals in curses.

 

[Clipse]

Hope they improve the recipe ASAP. Had it the other day in my burrito bowl and I couldn't even taste it.

 

[TheCochese]

Queso:

I can fuck with this.

However...

Edit:
Or the superior compuesto/completo:

Someone shit in your bowl there.

 

[finalflame]

It's trash. I got it this weekend and it was gritty. Fucking amateur cheese sauce mistake. Get it together, Chipotle.

 

[Rizific]

This thread would pop up literally the day after I tried it. Yeah, it's pretty bad. It has some powdery, chalky texture action going on. I'd actually prefer one of those dips in a jar that you find in the chips aisle at a grocery store.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

It is amazing that it tastes like bland nothingness and is expensive on top of it all.

If they wanted to put in no effort, at the very least, they could have used this guilty pleasure:

 

[gaugebozo]

The theory is too much corn starch

Corn starch would make it gelatinous or gloopy. I think this is thickened with flour. My wife makes homemade Mac and cheese, and the texture is very similar to what happens when you put the cheese in without waiting for the sauce to cool first.

 

[VGChampion]

It's not just bland. It had an odd lemon/lime taste to it, and it was really gritty.

Velveeta + Rotel tastes better

I thought it was a little bland but the grittiness was the worst part for me. And it wasn't hot.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

how do you fuck up melted cheese and spice

They don't list flour as one of the ingredients though...

[ProtomanNeo]

A litle bland but I was able to doctor it up just fine.

 

[BotoxAgent]

moes sucks too

To be fair, I don't see rat poop either.

 

[clockworkinyou]

Can confirm it does suck

 

[Robdraggoo]

Qdoba continues to win this war. And all they have to do is let Chipotle shoot itself in the foot over and over again.
