It's a spinoff company from Pepsi. That why you'll only find Pepsi brands there.jackson6612 said:Is it true that the fast food restaurants Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, Wingstreet, Long John Silver's restaurants are operated by one single company called Yum!? This would mean that if one is going to boycott Pizza Hut for some policy, then they should also boycott other brands as well to make their boycott more effective and impactful.
Thanks for your comments.

I eat Chipotle once a week, it's Evo Child's favorite, but we get it in a bowl without the tortilla. Lately though, I'm getting mostly guacamole, soon it will be just a large container of quacamole. The meat is too tough to chew, at least at the one here, and too often they forget to season the rice, no lime, cilantro or salt. But they have wonderful guacamole!what said:It used to be, but they pulled out a couple of years ago. Now it's an independent company enjoying positive growth.
But it doesn't matter who owns it. The food speaks for itself. You get a choice of steak grilled right in front of your eyes, healthy dose of rice, tons of proteins from beans and a good selection of fresh veggies.
I'll take that anytime over McDonalds.

When they season the rice correctly, it's my favorite thing. I've started maikng it at home, contrary to what you read on the ineternet, it's plain cooked white rice, THEN they add lime, salt and cilantro, these are not cooked into the rice. It's really a delightlful, fresh rice.what said:I eat there all the time. I love it. The tortilla is not the healthiest part though, but I get it because it holds all the guts together. The guacamole is finely tuned. Only once the corn was greenish, but other than that, I've never experienced anything wrong with food.
