It's been confirmed, Chipotle Mexican Grill is coming to Amarillo!  Expected date of opening is "late this year", so it's anticipated to be open before the end of 2014.  However, it's opening on Georgia St...not to far from Sharky's Burrito.  Sharky's is an Amarillo favorite, but Chipotle is a national favorite that many are excited about.  Both places make burritos, and they are basically the same thing aside from specialty sauce and seasonings.  We now begin the Battle of the Burrito!

Each burrito shack offers their own "thing", will this be a repeat of Krispy Kreme?  If you don't remember, Krispy Kreme opened in Amarillo, and had many citizens excited about new delicious doughnuts.  However, they couldn't compete with the local Donut Stop.

I think we're looking at a very similar situation here.  I might be wrong, there might be enough burrito lovers to keep both Sharky's and Chipotle in business, but this could go bad for one of the two restaurants.

Chipotle Mexican Grill plans to open a location at 2414 S Georgia, with doors opening late 2014.
