Study: Out of 960 Chipotles, the most praised one in America is in a former Seattle Taco Time

The best Chipotle in America sits inside one of Seattle’s strangest buildings, according to a new study.

If the address sounds familiar, the building should too. It’s the mirrored glass cube that housed the neighborhood’s beloved Taco Time for 34 years.

Depending on the flavor, they form a complete meal—protein, carb, and veg—on their own, and most go from freezer to plate in less time than it would take to so much as choose a restaurant from which to order in. But there’s something better than the shiny packages from supermarket shelves.
