2 new Burrito places coming to Davis?

So Boloco is taking the place of O'Naturals, and now Chipotle is moving into the Halloween Scream place according to:

I'm willing to give Boloco a try because I've never had it before and their menu looks good. But I had Chipotle in Vegas before and I didn't like it. Isn't Chipotle owned by McDonalds?

I feel really bad for Anna's.

Boloco, Chipotle, Anna's and Davis

[bolopep.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

Trust me, as the founder of Boloco (and The Wrap) and a huge fan of Anna's. Chipotle and Anna's and of course i hope Boloco will all be fine. Chipotle is the 800lb gorilla... they will come in and come in strong, and even those of you who say you won't go will probably venture in... and some will stay. They are very good at what they do, make no mistake about it.

At Boloco, we hope we are different enough to co-exist with strong neighbors like Anna's and Chipotle (and Qdoba and Anna's over in Porter for that matter). We do serve a Classic Burrito that won't make you keel over (check nutrition of our competitors for those that care - i realize most don't) and on most days tastes ridiculously good, but most of our customers order our other items that we're well known for... the Buffalo, Teriyaki, Summer, you name it. We like to give people options, in addition to our smoothies, salads, soups, and other sides - we're actually night and day with our competitors.

Most of all, we're local. BOston LOcal COmpany... get it? Lame, some say, but it makes us feel good, and if you can make 200 employees feel good about the company they work for and our focus on improving their lives and careers, that's all that really matters. And it gives us a great chance, if we do all of those things, to bring some pretty cool experiences to each of our customers.

So hopefully you all will give us a try.

We're way too easy on freebies too - ESPECIALLY for people who give us valuable feedback (that's the good and bad and ugly)... try us... email me with a mailing address and comments (or with your 16 digit Boloco card #) and i'll send back a tasty treat or two.

Here's to all that Davis Square means to so many of us... especially our head chef and another co-founder Jason who has lived there for the better part of the last decade. See you all soon

Cheers,

John Pepper

Thanks for keeping the O'Natural's playarea open -- that's very cool of you.

Any idea which pastries are going to continue to be made?

Ah, I didn't see this post before I posted above! Thanks for your comments. It's cool when businesses stay in touch with the community and I've noticed Boloco doing this on Yelp.com too; kudos.
