Chipotle and Panera have opened up at Laurel and Grace, but the Little Mexico Burrito Chop has one upped them both. The plucky local restaurant, part of the Mexico chain and sister store to Little Mexico on Cary, has taken up the challenge by putting in an express burrito spot of their own, serving freshly made burritos and tacos. To make sure you noticed, they painted the wall facing the chain restaurants a bright yellow green, with their logo looming over the parking lot. A small neon sign appears in their window say we're open for business. If you follow your nose you will find a steam table full of fresh toppings for your cooked to order, chicken, steak or vegetarian burrito. I haven't eaten there yet, but a quick inspection left me with an appetite and a desire to go back for lunch. National chains are fine when you have no other choices, but some of my money is walking right past Chipotle to this local chain that could. Let the food fight begin.

I've tried both a couple times in the last few weeks and while Chipotle wasn't bad, Little Mexico was by far much more delicious and consistently scrumptious! Chipotle seemed to lack any real magic in their burritos.
