Encinitas Chipotle Serves Up the 'Secret' Quesarito

The Quesarito, which isn't on the actual menu, is a burrito wrapped in a cheese quesadilla.

The Chipotle Quesarito is not on the Mexican food chain's menu, but it does have it's own Facebook page and plenty of hype. People have complained on social media sites like Facebook that they were refused the Quesarito and told it is not on the menu. 

But one Encinitas resident successfully purchased the dish at the local restaurant.

Patti Goodman ordered the Quesarito for the first time Tuesday.

"It tastes the same as the burrito I normally get but the cheese is melted and the outside is a bit harder from the quesadilla press," she said.

Chipotle spokesperson Chris Arnold told BuzzFeed, "The dish does not exist on Chipotle's menu, in its training manual, or in its system, but the company has a culture where the employees are trained to make what people ask them to make, within reason."
