After years of customer requests, Chipotle announced that it is finally adding queso to its menu — and much like the brand’s beloved guacamole, it is also extra.
Celebrity Foodies The Mexican food chain’s Chief Marketing Officer, Mark Crumpacker, told USA Today that queso will run in it’s NYC test kitchen for about a month following it’s Monday, July 10, debut before moving to multiple locations around the country. However, the businessman warns that the item doesn’t exactly taste like the queso that its competitors serve due to the brand’s dedication to using only natural ingredients. “When you compare it to the more synthetic ones, it’s got a different texture,” he said. “But it’s melted cheese, and that’s what actual cheese tastes like.” Naturally, it didn’t take long for Twitter users to share their excitement about the new addition. “Chipotle will now have queso” pic.twitter.com/JHBqVsf6Pw — J A K E H E R R O N (@jake_herron) July 11, 2017 CHIPOTLE IS GETTING QUESO!!!!

The site’s editors deemed the dip “slightly spicy, gritty, and lacked the gooeyness of standard queso, but still — pretty tasty!”
