Chipotle is testing a new Tex-Mex 'queso' dip it said it would never add to the menu - here's the verdict

In this great compromise called democracy, sacrifices must be made.

On Monday, Chipotle did just that: debuting a menu item it said it would never serve.

Despite years of customers begging the burrito chain to add queso to the menu, Chipotle has stubbornly denied their demands for the goopy Tex-Mex dip.

"Queso has to be made with artificial stabilizers to keep its shiny liquid form. Ever heard of all-natural-goopy cheese? Do you think there's a magical cow that squirts queso out of its udders?" Chipotle said in a snarky video explaining the cheesy elixir's absence.

Chipotle's now singing a different tune. Queso is finally being tested at the company's first public test kitchen in New York City, which opened Monday, Eater first reported. Apparently, the company found a way to crack the enigma of the all-natural queso code.

Eager for answers and liquid cheese, we dashed to the nearby test kitchen which also serves other test items, including new salads and margaritas.
