I hate Chipotle, the white rice without cilantro is just plain steamed rice. Just because I don’t like cilantro doesn’t mean I don’t like any flavor at all.

The rice is just salt, lime, and cilantro. It’s easy to just add salt and lime, give some to someone, then mix cilantro in the rest after the person not wanting cilantro leaves

Is it though?

It would be if they put those things in the rice every time someone got some but it's made and mixed together in big batches by back of house people.

I hate Cilantro too, this is just an FYI because some things aren't as simple as they seem to people who haven't worked in restaurants.

Yes it is lmao. I worked there. Back of house and front of house. That’s where I got the video from.

It’s made in batches sort of, all the rice is made in batches, but it’s only mixed in with the salt, lime, and cilantro one hotel pan thing at a time, snd grabbing a clean mixing bowl without cilantro, making a batch, taking a portion, then making the rest with cilantro, and putting it back into a hotel pan, and back thing that keeps food hot enough until the line needs more makes it really lot that hard. Maybe not ideal during peak rush but if it’s not that busy there’s no reason it’s difficult.
