Chipotle Mexican Grill in Berkeley

“The epitome of a well operated chipotle. Amazing aroma of grilled meats waft through one's nose upon entrance. Then you're greeted by an incredibly kind and smiling tortilla station. The service was quick, courteous and exceeded expectations. Well managed, well trained, beautifully maintained. The best chipotle experience in the east bay by FAR.

Vegetarian options: The sofritas are delicious

Kid-friendliness: Kids meals are fun build your own style taco kits

Parking: Huge parking lot with heaps of spots even during peak hours

Dietary restrictions: Offers gluten free, soy free, vegetarian, and vegan options“

“Good central location, easy access by Bart. Fast service and fresh ingredients as there is a rotating crowd.

Parking: Downtown Berkeley parking is difficult, and none more so than when you're trying to get Chipotle. There's a small parking lot in front of the restaurant but it mostly remains full at all times as there are multiple other businesses on this strip and nearby. Extremely easy access through public transport though.“

“**Surprisingly Great Experience!**

I’ve never really been a fan of Chipotle, but I have to say, this location near Cal completely changed my mind. It’s always super busy, which I was worried about at first, but the service was fast, and the staff kept everything moving smoothly. Despite the crowd, the food was fresh, flavorful, and just really hit the spot. I finally get why people love Chipotle so much! Definitely going to be coming back to this one.“
