the issue was picked up on the Motley Fool at http://www.fool.com/investing/high-growth/2009/01/13/chipotles-iphone-indigestion.aspx where the article quotes MacRumors and a users comment "I did backflips when I saw it in the App Store. I got a stomach ache when I tried to use it."
Got a tip for us?

Am I doing something wrong ? My iPhone did not taste like a burrito after I used the Chipotle app... But now my stomach hurts
You are not doing it right! You gotta try to do a backflip first!
=p
Actually, in many stores you can FAX your orders in or order online. OMG people are using the internet to cut lines, perhaps you should boycott it?
Cool
why can't i find this app yet? anyone have a link that works?
and, where is MacRumors's app?! something that would read like an RSS reader with latest rumors and the ability to post replies from within the app itself. that would be awesome!!
EDIT: just saw the update about it being taken down. hopefully it'll be back up soon.

As someone who has lived in Mexico City, i cringe when I read this self satified post. We don't eat at Chipotle because we believe it is Mexican, we eat there because it tastes good.
You aren't superior. When I do eat at places that serve real Mexican food, trust me, I don't order a burrito.
lol, great points. That's like someone thinking that Chinese food here is actual Chinese food, or that pizza here is like pizza in Italy.
Now only if they could deliver this to my workplace. Nearest Chipotle is 20 min north of here...
Here is the solution.
DineBlast Mobile works with virtually any Wi-Fi SmartPhone and does not require an app download. Participating restaurants have a Wi-Fi network called DineBlast Mobile and you use your browser to access the ordering screens. Dont worry iPhone users, we designed a special Safari UI just for you.
The major advantage of DineBlast Mobile is that it works across any number of restaurants and is not specific to a restaurant brand. Your order history is saved and can be faved. Dineblast Mobile offers 1-Touch reordering, so you never have to reenter your payment info.
Once you create an account, your device will be automatically recognized at all participating restaurants, even if youve never visited that restaurant before. You can even have multiple devices tied to a single account.
DineBlast Mobile works for quick-service, fast food, table-service restaurants and stadium venues (in seat service).
We also have a curbside mode that lets you order without leaving your car.
For table-service restaurants, you can order right from the table before your server ever gets there to greet you. If youre in a hurry to leave, you can pay the guest check right from your device (even if you didnt order from it). We also have a check sharing feature that works great for large parties where one person is picking up the tab, but everyone wants to use their own device for ordering.
Please encourage your favorite restaurant to implement DineBlast Mobile!
There are many more cool features heres a demo:

Haha. Good Point!
My biggest problem is restaurants that charge for chips. It just doesn't strike me as very hospitable, it just strikes me as a very cheap, undignified, MBA-like approach to serving food. The yuppie-ness of Chipotle I can forgive. I eat at some pretty yuppie-fied places all the time!
Is this DineBlast mobile available now? The links you provided are not clear.
Thanks,

While i sync my ipod touch my ipod just disconnects off itunes, but when i am just chargin it nothing happens?
when i sync my ipod touch only about 15 to 20 songs sync then it dissapears from itunes & ejects itself, then reconnects itself back onto usb again. if i leave the ipod alone & try not to sync while it is connected to usb, nothing happens, it happily charges.
why is it when i try sync it only syncs a few songs then ejects itself from itunes as well as usb then reconnects itself, but when i am charging nothing happens?? why cant the ipod just sync my whole library without any issues? i just want to enjoy my ipod for crying out loud desperate help is needed, please, please, please somebody help me?? i am extremely desperate please ='(

I'd call Apple. You may have a bad iPod in need of replacement, a bad cable, a bad USB port on your computer, or you may simply need to reset your iPod to the factory state (easily done through iTunes) and start over. Also try posting in the iPod forums here.
An app like this would be handy if it accelerated me through the horrid lines they have during lunch. Chipotle (and Qdoba) aren't great Mexican food, but they make ideal grab-and-go lunches. The problem is that if you go anytime near lunch-hour in my area, you wait in line for 30 minutes! An app that would have my burrito waiting for me at the register would help with that, although I suppose eventually the line at the register would just grow as well.

AGREED! I am still floored that there is know Strabucks app ... sure there are third-party apps, but a full out locator and ordering app from Starbucks would seem to be a no-brainer.
Also Flickr ... only third-party apps ... geez!

I'm very happy that they don't give Americans free chips when the burritos alone already far too many calories.
not McDonald's
incorrect. Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) is a chain of restaurants specializing in San Francisco burritos and tacos. Founded by Steve Ells in 1993 and based in Denver, Colorado, the restaurant is known for its chunky guacamole, large burritos, and assembly line production. Chipotle is one of the first successful chains in the relatively new category of fast-casual dining establishments. In the past, McDonald's Corporation owned a majority interest in Chipotle. McDonald's has since sold their entire stake in Chipotle; full divestment was completed in October 2006.

Wow. Do you just rip other sources off like that? Try at least linking back to the original. It's from Wikipedia.
Exactly!
As a matter of fact, Nachos and Burritos aren't even "real" Mexican food, since they were created here in the states.
Great, another useless app to clutter the app store with. This time to, you might as well say, advertise for a fake-Mexican food chain.
Pizza isn't Italian either. It was created by Italian immigrants. They chose tomatoes, cheese and bread because it was the cheapest thing around at the time.
