Reach back into the depths of your mind. Past the cobwebs, spiders, and rotting bones back to a chest full of forgotten and lost memories. Reach inside and sift through the myriad collection and try to recall the Chipotle iPhone app that I talked about previously here and here. It was instantly popular hence the reason that it came and went within hours. While I joke about time, it wasn’t really that long ago (January), though it honestly does seem like last year. If you can remember, the reason for the app being pulled was that after only a few hours, the servers that hosted said app were completely decimated by the traffic load. Apparently they underestimated the love iPhone/iPod Touch users have for Chipotle.

If you were as heartbroken as I was of the apps removal and the subsequent extended vacation it received while the developers involved retooled the app and the melted servers, you will be more than ecstatic to know that the Chipotle iPhone app is live again ready for the world to wirelessly order tacos, burritos, and other goodies from the comfort of the mobile web.

I for one have already tried out the app after only 5 minutes of it calling my iPhone home. I’m sure it won’t be the last. The app is rather simple, yet intuitive for ordering any meal you like and customizing it painlessly. Now that ordering is even easier and faster making eating the tasty yet not always healthiest food at your fingertips, do you think your next stop will be bigger pants?

Chipotle app…Where art thee?

Lets take a short break in the craziness that is life and crawl through the depths of your mind.  Ok, we aren’t really going that far back in you mind…January ’09 to be exact.  Do you remember a particular app that was made by the popular restaurant chain called “Chipotle”?  It was available for a whopping few hours before being yanked because the servers literally melted into the ground.  Do you remember their claim that they would relaunch the app within a couple weeks?  Well, three months later here we are, appless and still hungry.  What gives?  Well I wanted to know that very same answer too so I gave Chipotle some contact love by way of phone and email as many different aliases.  Right inside is their answer.
