I tried Chipotle and its biggest Mexican food competitor to decide which was better- and the winner is clear

While perhaps not authentic Mexican food, the ubiquitous Chipotle is here to stay.

But its largest competitor is growing quickly. Moe's Southwest Grill started in Georgia in 2000, and has grown to over 600 locations nationwide.

And it seems as though preferences are die-hard: some vow never to walk in a Moe's, while others hold a particular disdain for the ever-present Chipotle.

Having both chains in New York City, and being quite a fan of Mexican food I decided to settle the score once and for all.

Who rolls the best burrito? Who takes the taco crown? Is there a prize-winning burrito bowl? And most importantly: which guacamole will emerge victorious in a chips and dip face-off?
