The trick with velveta queso is that instead of rotel, you get a couple cans of diced tomatoes and stir that in a sauce pan over med heat until the liquid evaporates. Then you dice up some jarred jalapeños and through that in with a generous amount of the juice. And ideally the cheese should be melted slowly in a pan on the stove.

I tried the queso at a Chipotle once when they first started serving it. That was a bad queso.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Chipotle queso the second worst queso I have ever had. The first worst was at a place called Viola Ventanas. The queso was literally monterey jack dumped on a plate and melted under a heat lamp with beschamel ladelled on top of that and raw, unpickled jalapeno put on top of that.

The part that makes it better than Rotel is the cooking down of the tomatoes and peppers, which.... You can just do with Rotel.

But you don’t want to cook down the jalapeños! And you need the juice! Look this is a recipe my elders brought over from the old country, it’s worth the little bit extra.

A lot of restaurant and and premade guacamole you can get from the store has a weird flavor in it that I never cared for and which I never get when making it by hand. Not sure if it's some preservative they put in it or what, but it tastes kind of like the avocados are already going bad even though it still looks green and fresh.

I still like the original Lupe despite it being overrated, the franchise though is another story entirely, not only is it pricey but I don't care for the food at all. Maybe it's because I'm spoiled what with being from Houston, where you can basically walk 50 feet in any direction and find good tex-mex.

Chipotle decided that sodium citrate wasn't "natural" enough so they basically tried to make queso without any emulsifier. The result is an oily gritty texture which makes it a complete waste of cheese.

As a kid I thought I didn’t like guacamole because my mom is from Ohio and makes it without any flavor. Then my Mexican friend’s mom made us some and I knew what real guac was.

Lupe is fine for what it is, which is a mid tier tex-mex chain serving casual dining. If you're starved for choice it'll be good/great. If you've got options you probably for sure got better and likely got worse.

Not sure why both of these are over-complicated, the best queso is just Velveta and Rotel:

But seriously, make a simple bechamel and add cheese, and optionally tomatoes, jalapenos, and cilantro. That's literally it.

I choose Chuys over Lupe in this chain restaurant hellscape of god forsaken suburbs because it’s way more affordable. Lupe is alright but it’s in the Five Guys pricing tier.
