Hillary Clinton has had to make a lot of important decisions recently. Black or pinto beans? What kind of meat would she like? Does she want salsa? Most importantly, [is she willing to pay extra for guacamole](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/14/us/politics/on-the-road-hillary-clinton-stops-for-lunch-at-chipotle-and-goes-unrecognized.html?%5Fr=0)?

The answer to that last question is apparently yes. Clinton, who launched her presidential bid on Sunday in a long-awaited announcement, visited a Chipotle on Monday during a stop on her 1,000-mile campaign kick-off road trip, the New York _Times_ reports. Charles Wright, manager of the restaurant in the Toledo suburb of Maumee where Clinton stopped, said she ordered a chicken burrito bowl [(with the guac)](http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/spotted-hillary-clinton-makes-surprise-pit-stop-chipotle/story?id=30292138), a chicken salad and two drinks.

> [](https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/587722452496691203)

Clinton, joined by longtime aide Huma Abedin, went mostly unrecognized by Chipotle staff and customers. Wright wasn’t even aware that Clinton stopped by until he checked the security footage after a _Times_ reporter called about a tip. “The thing is, she has these dark sunglasses on,” Wright said. “She just was another lady.”

In a way, [that’s just the message Clinton is trying to send](http://time.com/3818768/hillary-clinton-white-house-bid-2016-election/) with her campaign.
