Chipotle is giving away free queso on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, December 12, the chain is offering free queso with the purchase of burritos, bowls, salads, or tacos. The one catch: customers have to wear a "cheesy sweater," as part of the holiday festivities.
Chipotle's queso roll-out has been a nightmare for the chain. Since September, customers have slammed the dip as a "crime against cheese," "expired Velveeta," and "dumpster juice."
However, the chain recently rolled out a revamped recipe that fixes some of the original queso's textural issues. The new queso still doesn't have the exact goopiness that makes the Tex-Mex classic so beloved, but it is a marked improvement.
While the new queso still isn't the ideal dip, it does provide a hearty topping for a burrito or burrito bowl. So, it makes sense that Chipotle is only giving free queso as a topping with entrees on Tuesday. Customers are additionally limited to one free queso per person.
