What a bender. When I was a summer intern in DC, fresh out of California, the fact that Baja Fresh served the best burrito within reach depressed me. Now that I live in New York, I have to say I’m loving the enthusiasm MTLunchers are bringing to the table on this. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Chick Fil-A!

You guys! I love you all- I just happened upon this thread and you’ve all mentioned the restaurants that have been there for me in the past 15 years. I can’t believe someone even mentioned Pollo Tropical…you guys deserve every restaurant you mentioned in NYC. As for me (Seattle), I’ll have to subsist only on Baja Fresh- everything else I left in San Diego a long time ago…

OoooOOooo…I was just back home visiting LA, had Baja and decided to take an extra Baja Burrito with me for the flight back to NY. Although I work on the westside, I’ll be making that trek over to Lexington for Baja until i’m burnt out.

I just hope the lines aren’t rediculous AND they bring that mango salsa with them. Yesssir!

Words cannot express how excited I am about this. I spent most of my childhood in southern california and it was between baja fresh and in-n-out for my daily after school lunch. Although its not nearly as authentic and homestyle as the mom & pop mexican joints in san diego, Baja Fresh holds a special place in my heart and I can’t wait until they open up.

I will read intently and wait for the news of when they open up shop. =)

Sadly, I don’t think in n out would ever move here based on their current shipping model. I can’t recall off hand, but I think all their locations have to be within a certain shipping distance from their meat processing plant in north LA.

The last time that I went to Baja Fresh, they’d done away with the enchiladas. They specially made one for me (which was terribly nice & I didn’t even ask!), but it was sad to find out that they were no longer on the menu. Baja Fresh is decent, but I miss my Mexican food.

I moved here from ATL in July. The people of NYC should all be working together to bring in Chick-fil-a. It doesn’t count if it doesn’t serve breakfast. I fly back to Atlanta once every 3 or so months & I say it’s to visit friends, but maybe 50% of it is to hit up Dwarf House by the airport as soon as my plane lands. Having a sweet, Southern waitress deliver inventive breakfast treats based on Chick-fil-a standbys is just the best ever.

As for losing money on Sundays … I would tithe 10% if it went toward keeping the waffle fries alive.

I am SO SO happy about this. I was seriously considering taking the train to long island just to go to baja fresh. Salsa bar, all the way- I fucking drink the stuff.

Also, there is a chick-fil-a in an NYU dorm- on university and 13th, maybe? You have to look like you go to nyu. I don’t, but I have eaten there successfully. http://www.yelp.com/biz/chick-fil-a-new-york
