The price is double that of the burger because the quality of the food is also a double that of a burger.
I never noticed how good chipotles ingredients were until I started eating bowls instead of burritos. Those massive burritos are a sloppy tube of undifferentiated food matter that totally obscures the quality of the food.
Personally I think they should institute a "small size" burrito, for a lower price. Moe's does this.
Yeah, the quality is double. I'm not saying the price isn't worth it. I'm saying the price is in an awkward point. They're competing with both fast food and restaurants.

I'd like that, but I can see why they don't. I doubt the savings on ingredients would be adequate for them to preserve their margins yet offer a price point that would seem reasonable to the consumer. Very few would be interested if it were only (say) 15 cents cheaper.
