Chipotle shut down a restaurant after reports customers became violently ill - here's where you should eat instead
With news that Chipotle's food poisoning scandals may not be over yet, many customers are looking for alternatives.
On Tuesday, news broke the Chipotle had shut down a restaurant in Sterling, Virginia, after multiple reports of customers getting sick after eating there.
Eight people reported illnesses - including "vomiting violently," fevers, and "violent stomach cramps" - to the website iwaspoisoned.com.
Chipotle told Business Insider that it is aware of the illnesses and has notified local health officials. However, with the news coming just as the company is recovering from its 2015 E. coli scandal, many customers may prefer to find alternatives than to give Chipotle another chance.
One option: Qdoba, a 700-location chain that goes head-to-head with Chipotle when it comes to burritos and other fast-casual Tex-Mex fare. Here's how the two compare - and why Qdoba could be the perfect Chipotle replacement.
